THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 2.76 ACRES AND IS LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS BEING LOT ONE B BLOCK A IN THE REPLAT OF THE COMMERCE AND BUSINESS CENTER OF DESOTO INCORPORATED ADDITION. THE APPLICANT IS MELISSA SAYLOR, DOING BUSINESS AS MT. TRAINING

[00:05:06]

CENTER, AND THE PROPERTY OWNER IS FORT BOX, LLC. THIS IS CASE NUMBER Z 153324 AND WE ARE READY FOR THE PRESENTATION. MISS MUTARAZI. GOOD. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. I'M WITH THE PLANNING DIVISION. THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE REQUEST TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A COMMERCIAL TRADE SCHOOL IN AN EXISTING BUILDING. THIS BUILDING IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EZELL DRIVE AND WEST SIDE OF NORTH HAMPTON ROAD. IT IS ADDRESSED AS 100 EZELL DRIVE.

THE PROPERTY IS 2.76 ACRES AND IS CURRENTLY ZONED GENERAL RETAIL. THE PROPOSED TRADE SCHOOL ALIGNS WITH GENERAL RETAIL USES IN PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THE USE WILL NOT GENERATE EXCESSIVE NOISE, TRAFFIC DISTURBANCES OR DISRUPTIVE ACTIVITIES THAT WILL THAT WILL BE OUT OF CHARACTER FOR THIS AREA. THE USE IS HARMONIOUS, REASONABLE AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE DISTRICT'S GOALS. MOST CLASSES WILL BE HELD ONLINE WITH IN-PERSON ORIENTATION OPTIONS. THE SCHOOL OFFERS COSMETOLOGY, BARBERING, AND WELDING. THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO OPERATE THE SCHOOL DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS, AND THE PROPERTY PROVIDES ADEQUATE AND REQUIRED PARKING SPACES AND NOTIFICATION OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED ON OCTOBER 27TH, 2024, IN THE FOCUSED DAILY NEWS STAFF ALSO EMAILED 158 NOTIFICATION TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200, AS WELL AS 400FT OF THE SUBJECT SITE. ONE LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN SUPPORT OF THIS APPLICATION. THIS IS THE SITE WITH THE BUILDING, THE EXISTING BUILDING AND SOME LANDSCAPE ON IT. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUESTS TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A COMMERCIAL TRADE SCHOOL AT 100 EZELL DRIVE IS PRESENTED, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS? I'M JUST TRYING TO. GOOD EVENING, MISS MUNYARADZI. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD, GOOD. I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER. IS THIS THE SAME CASE WITH THE BARBER SCHOOL, OR IS THIS ANOTHER SCHOOL THAT SAME LOCATION? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE SAME LOCATION. THE OTHER ONE WAS A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THIS IS A DIFFERENT LOCATION. IT'S A NEW SCHOOL. OKAY. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS? JUST A QUICK QUESTION. SO THEY'LL BE OFFERING COSMETOLOGY AND WELDING WITH ONLINE OPTIONS. IS THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THE APPLICANT TELLS US. I'M SURE THEY WILL BE CALLING THEM WHEN THEY NEED TO DO PRACTICALS TO COME TO THE BUILDING. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE PURCHASING. THEY ARE GOING TO LIST THIS BUILDING, BUT THAT IS THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAT THEY WILL BE HOLDING MOST OF THE CLASSES ONLINE. THANK YOU. THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS. I ALSO HAD MISS ROSS RELATIVE TO WELDING. THE EXHIBIT THAT YOU HAD AS FAR AS THE BUILDING, ARE THEY LEASING THE ENTIRE SQUARE FOOTAGE? FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, YES. LET ME CORRECT. THAT BUILDING HAS TWO SEPARATE SUITES IN IT. THE SUITE ON THE EAST MOST SIDE IS SUITE NUMBER 100. AND THE SUITE ON THE LEFT SIDE IS SUITE 102. SO TOGETHER THEY ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE BUILDING. RIGHT NOW, JUST IN PASSING THE BUSINESS AT 102 HAS SOMETHING DEALING WITH THE ELEVATOR ON THAT DOOR. SO THIS IS ONLY IN SUITE 100. THE ONLY REASON I WAS ASKING IF THEY WERE RENTING THE ENTIRE SPACE, I WAS CURIOUS HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE GOING TO.

WERE THEY GOING TO HAVE. DO WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT THEY WOULD BE HAVING A CLASS? LIKE THIS. I'M NOT SURE. I DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THIS REPORT, BUT IF THAT IS INFORMATION THAT THE COMMISSIONER MIGHT WANT, I WE CAN EMAIL THE INFORMATION TO YO.

OKAY. THE OTHER THING THAT I NOTICED IN THE PRESENTATION, IT SAID THAT MOST CLASS ATTENDANCE

[00:10:06]

WILL BE HELD ONLINE, BUT AT SOME POINT, THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO COME IN AND DO ON THE JOB WHATEVER, WHETHER IT'S HAIR, WHETHER IT'S NAILS. AND I BELIEVE ANOTHER CASE THAT WE HAD, WE REALLY WERE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT MAY BE IN AT ANY ONE GIVEN TIME. THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT MAY BE IN GETTING SERVICES AND VARIOUS THINGS. BUT WHAT I SAW AS FAR AS THE PARKING SPACE, IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS AN ABUNDANCE OF PARKING SPACE AND THAT'S WHY YOU ALL ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. CORRECT. OKAY, MR. BREWER. I WAS JUST GOING TO NOTE I'M LOOKING IN THE AUDIENCE AND I DON'T SEE THE APPLICANT, AND THEY REALLY NEED TO BE THE ONE TO ADDRESS THEIR OPERATIONAL PROCEEDINGS. AND I WAS ASKING BESTER, AND SHE'S NOT AWARE OF WHY THEY ARE NOT HERE EITHER. BUT THEY ARE NO SHOW TONIGHT. OKAY. RELATIVE I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I WAS WHEN I SAW THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING AND EVERYTHING, AND I'M TRYING TO IN MY HEAD, WONDER WHY THEY NEEDED SO MUCH SPACE. THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WELDING THAT MAY BE GOING ON THERE, AS WELL AS THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT THEY COULD HAVE AT ANY ONE PARTICULAR TIME COMING IN. AND THEN I ALSO HAD A QUESTION, ARE THEY INTENDING TO USE THE SPACE FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN SCHOOL? SO I'M NOT PREPARED. SO THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS. BUT THERE'S ANY OTHER OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS? I DO, MR. CHAIR. HELLO, MISS MUNYARADZI, HOW ARE YOU DOING? MY QUESTION IS WITH REGARD TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TWO SUITES IN THE BUILDING, WHAT EFFECT DOES THAT HAVE ON THE APPLICATION OF AN S, U P AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF AN SUP? DOES IT APPLY TO THE WHOLE BUILDING OR JUST. IT WILL APPLY TO THE ADDRESS THAT WE HAVE NOT NOTED THAT IT'S 100. IS THERE. THIS WILL BE FOR 100. SO THE OTHER ONE IS ALREADY SUP ON IT. THE 1 OR 2. OKAY. SO IT'S A SEPARATE ADDRESS. YES. EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN THE SAME BUILDING. OKAY. THANK YOU. IS THERE A RUSH IN APPROVING OR HOLDING THIS SO THAT THE APPLICANT COULD ADDRESS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSION HAS ASKED? IF THE COMMISSIONER COMMISSION WANTS TO TABLE THIS ITEM, THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY ANY PROBLEM, BECAUSE I AGREE WITH MR. BREWER AND THAT THESE QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT. AND FOR THAT, I WOULD BE WANTING TO TABLE IT. I'VE GOT ANOTHER QUESTION. JUST FOR MY OWN CLARITY. THE QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ASKED HERE TODAY, DO THEY HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE RIGHT OF THIS APPLICANT TO REQUEST THIS SUP AND IT BE APPROVED? I WOULD LEAVE THAT TO YOUR JUDGMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING BECAUSE AN SUP IS THE ZONING REQUIREMENT THAT IT'S GIVE AND TAKE. YOU ARE YOUR WHERE YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT EVERYTHING. OKAY. WILL THIS WORK OR WILL THIS NOT WORK AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. SO IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION TO SAY, OKAY, DO WE WANT TO TABLE THIS UNTIL WE CAN HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, OR DO WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD? OKAY. THANK YOU. MY QUESTIONS ARE ALONG THE LINE OF BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER CASE THAT CAME THROUGH. AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IT'S A SIMILAR SUP JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TREATING ALL APPLICANTS THE SAME AS THEY COME. MISS COMMISSIONER BROOKS HAS SAID IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WITH TABLING? WE COULD PERHAPS CONTINUE THE PUBLIC MEETING UNTIL THE NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING AND NOTIFY THE APPLICANT THAT WE NEED THEM TO BE HERE IN ORDER TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD CONSIDER IF WE DO RECEIVE A MOTION IN THAT DIRECTION. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. BECAUSE ONCE WE APPROVE IT, ONCE THE SUP IS THERE, IT IS FOREVER THERE WITH THAT ADDRESS. CORRECT? YES. UNLESS IT'S RESCINDED. OKAY. I, I HAVE A MOTION. ALRIGHT. WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME. IF SOMEONE HAS ONE, A MOTION TO TABLE THIS OR CONTINUE IT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING AND HOPEFULLY STAFF OR SOMEONE CAN REACH OUT

[00:15:01]

TO THE APPLICANT THAT WE WANT THEM HERE AT THE NEXT TIME. SIX. YES. THE NEXT MEETING IS NOVEMBER THE 26TH. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN MOVED. AND SECOND, THAT WE CONTINUE THIS PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING NOVEMBER THE 26TH. ARE YOU READY FOR THE QUESTION? ALL RIGHT. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE MOTION AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. I MEAN, THAT IS A HOLIDAY WEEK. PEOPLE MAY BE TRAVELING. SO I WOULD SAY MOVE IT. I MEAN, KEEP CONTINUE IT UNTIL A DATE. CERTAIN THAT THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION. CITY ATTORNEY. DON'T WE NEED A DATE SPECIFIC? WE DO, BUT I UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION IS, DO WE WANT TO MOVE IT PAST THAT DATE? IF YOU ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE DATE, YOU CAN CHANGE THE DATE. SO YEAH. MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO AMEND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM NOVEMBER 26TH TO DECEMBER 10TH. DO I HAVE A SECOND? ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE AMEND THE FIRST MOTION TO BE ASKED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL OUR FIRST MEETING IN DECEMBER. BEING DECEMBER THE 10TH. JUST A QUESTION OR OBSERVATION. I AM AWARE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ESTABLISHED A CONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, SO THEY MAY BE WANTING TO PROCESS THIS SOONER THAN LATER. MISTER BREWER, ARE WE HAVING OUR MEETING ON THE 26TH OF NOVEMBER? MISTER MATERAZZI RIGHT NOW, UNLESS MR. BREWER KNOWS SOMETHING THAT I DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE ANY APPLICATION THAT ESPECIALLY ZONING CASES THAT HAVE COME BEFORE US, THAT NEEDS TO BE ON THE 26TH. AND AT THIS TIME, YOU HAVE NOT CANCELED THAT MEETING? NO, WE HAVE NOT. OKAY. MY AMENDMENT TO THE RECOMMENDATION STILL STANDS. ALL RIGHT. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDED MOTION? ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU READY FOR THE QUESTION? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OF MOVING OF CONTINUING THIS PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL THE FIRST MEETING OF DECEMBER? DECEMBER THE 10TH. SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSES. ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION CARRIES.

[2. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider making a recommendation to the City Council to amend the City's 2024 Comprehensive Plan to add 2 new Chapters to the City's 2024 Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 8 "Streetscape Guidelines" and Chapter 9 "Urban Design Guidelines) as authorized by both Chapter 213, Municipal Comprehensive Plans of the Texas Local Government Code and Section 3, The Master Plan of the City of DeSoto’s Home Rule Charter, Article X, Planning.]

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE MOVING TO PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER TWO, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO AMEND THE CITY'S 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADD TWO NEW CHAPTERS TO THE CITY'S 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CHAPTER EIGHT, STREETSCAPES GUIDELINE AND CHAPTER NINE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES. AS AUTHORIZED BY BOTH CHAPTER 213 MUNICIPAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND SECTION THREE, THE MASTER PLAN OF THE CITY OF DE SOTO'S HOME RULE CHARTER. ARTICLE TEN PLANNING. AT THIS TIME, MISS ROSSI. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON FEBRUARY 6TH, 2024. THE APPROVED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES NOT HAVE CHAPTER EIGHT STREETSCAPE AND CHAPTER NINE URBAN DESIGN. CHAPTER EIGHT WAS NOT PART OF AECOM. SCOPE OF WORK, AND FREESE AND NICHOLS WAS CONTRACTED TO UPDATE THE CHAPTER EIGHT TO ALIGN WITH THE TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY CHAPTER SEVEN. CHAPTER EIGHT. CHAPTER NINE WAS IN INTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT, SO IT COULD BE SO. IT COULD BE DONE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE HAMPTON ROAD CHARACTER CODE. URBAN DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS. CHAPTER EIGHT STREETS. STREETSCAPE GUIDELINES PROVIDE GUIDELINES GUIDANCE TO STREETSCAPE DESIGN FOR ROADWAYS AND INTERNAL INTERSECTION WITHIN INTERSECTIONS WITHIN THE CITY. CHAPTER NINE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES PROVIDE URBAN DESIGN

[00:20:01]

STRATEGIES ALONG CORRIDORS AND INTERSECTION NODES. THE HOME RULE CHARTER REQUIRES THE COMMISSION TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ZONING MAP. MASTER PLAN, AND MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN, AND ITS AMENDMENT REQUIRES THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL. ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD, 2024. A NOTICE FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN DAILY FOCUS NEWSPAPER. AS OF TODAY, NO LETTERS WERE RECEIVED IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION TO THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

MAKING MAKING A PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS A AECOM, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. PLEASE HELP ME WELCOME CECILIA FROM AECOM TO MAKE A PRESENTATION TO THIS BEFORE SHE COMES. MISS MATERAZZI. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR IN WHAT YOU'RE CHARGING US TO DO THIS EVENING. THE PRESENTATION THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO HEAR. YOU WANT US TO APPROVE WHAT IS GOING TO BE PRESENTED TO US THIS EVENING? IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION. THE RECOMMENDATION IS FOR YOU TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL, BECAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL IS THE ONE THAT HAS A FINAL SAY ON THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT. OKAY. BUT YOU ARE THE PRESENTATION THAT IS GOING TO BE MADE IS AECOM HAS BEEN THE CONSULTANT THAT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY TO DO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO THIS IS ALMOST LIKE THE CLOSING CHAPTER FOR THEM. SO THEY ARE GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU A SUMMARY OF WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY, SO THAT THAT WAY WE CAN CLOSE THE CHAPTER ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024. SO OUR RECOMMENDATION WILL BE BASED ON WHAT WE RECEIVED TO LOOK AT TODAY AND WHAT'S PRESENTED TODAY. ALL RIGHT, MR. BREWER. YES. I JUST WANT TO SAY STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JUST BEFORE YOU SPEAK, DO WE HAVE HER? THIS IS SHE. DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN NOW FOR HER TO SPEAK, OR SHE JUST SPEAKS? THAT'S YOUR PREFERENCE? TO BE HONEST, AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU KNOW YOU CAN WAIT TILL AFTER SHE'S DONE. ALL RIGHT. YOU MAY JUST COME TO THE PODIUM. I DO NOT HAVE IT. SO WE'LL NEED TO LOAD THE PRESENTATION. SO IF YOU CAN GIVE US JUST FIVE MINUTES, PLEASE. I'M SORRY FOR THAT ERROR. COUNCIL REMAIN AT REST.

[00:27:38]

THE TIME IS 227. WE'RE BACK IN ORDER. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, BUT IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE TONIGHT. I WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ACCOMMODATING THIS UPDATE. AS MY NAME IS CECILIA SULLIVAN. SORRY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. I AM THE PROJECT MANAGER. I HAVE BEEN THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE FOR THE CITY OF DESOTO, WHICH STARTED A LITTLE BACK A LITTLE WHILE BACK. REALLY, THE SLIDE THAT'S HERE OUTLINES ALL THE ENGAGEMENTS, MEETINGS, TOUCH POINTS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE COMMUNITY WITH PNC AS WELL AS CITY COUNCIL, AS BUSTER MENTIONED. REALLY, THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE AND PRESENTED IN FRONT OF PNC WAS THE FIRST SIX CHAPTERS OF EIGHT CHAPTERS. OF WHICH, YEAH, BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. EIGHT CHAPTERS OF WHICH HAD EVERYTHING THAT AECOM HAD PRODUCED. OF THAT, THERE WAS NOTICED, AND I BELIEVE IT WAS FROM PNC, THAT THE STREETSCAPE CHAPTER DID NOT ALIGN WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. CHAPTER, WHICH IS WHEN WE STILL THERE WAS A WE STILL WENT TO COUNCIL SAYING THAT THERE HAD BEEN THAT NOTE THAT WE APPROVED THE REPORT, BUT THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME SLIGHT CHANGES WITH THE STREETSCAPE. THAT IS WHEN COUNCIL SAID THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO APPROVE IT UNLESS IT WAS A FINAL PRODUCT. AND SO FROM THEN THERE HAD BEEN SOME ITERATIONS. THE CITY REALLY DID A DEEP DIVE WITH THE STREETSCAPE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PRODUCED. SORRY, THE TRANSPORTATION, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY PRODUCED BY FREESE AND NICOLE AND THEN ONCE INTERNALLY, IT WAS APPROVED. IT WAS PROVIDED TO AECOM, OF WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO THEN UPDATE THE STREETSCAPE TO REALLY REPRESENT WHAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THAT STREETSCAPE. AND THEN ULTIMATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO ALSO OBTAIN THE CHARACTER CODE FROM HAMPTON ROAD TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THAT TO THE URBAN DESIGN CHAPTER. SO SINCE THE LAST PUBLIC MEETING THAT WE HAD WITH THE COMMUNITY WAS OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, AND THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE HERE TO PRESENT A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE REPORT WAS DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. SO IT'S JUST TAKING US A LITTLE BIT TO GET ALL THE FINAL

[00:30:05]

CHAPTERS, BECAUSE THEY WERE FROM OTHER PARTIES THAT WE WEREN'T AHOLD OF. SO REALLY THE OUTLINE OF THE REPORT, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ATTACHMENT, I BELIEVE, OF THE ENTIRE REPORT, WHICH AGAIN, NOTHING OF THE FIRST EIGHT CHAPTERS WERE TOUCHED SINCE WE WERE SINCE I WAS HERE IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. STREETSCAPE AND URBAN DESIGN ARE THE NEW ONES THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED ORIGINALLY. WE DID UPDATE THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER TO REFLECT WHAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM CHAPTER EIGHT AND CHAPTER NINE THAT WERE NOT ALREADY INCLUDED, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T A PART OF THAT DRAFT WHEN WE CAME. DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. SO REALLY LIKE MENTIONING MAJOR ADDITIONS ARE THOSE TWO CHAPTERS. AND THERE ARE SOME MINOR ADDITIONS TO CHAPTER TEN. WITH THE ADDITION OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE AN OUTCOME OF CHAPTER EIGHT AND NINE. CHAPTER EIGHT. REALLY PROVIDES THE GUIDANCE OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER, WHICH IDENTIFIES THE MAIN ARTERIAL ROADS. AND THEN ALSO UPDATES THE STREETSCAPE THAT SHOULD BE INTEGRATED AS THOSE CHANGES ARE DONE WITHIN THE ROADWAYS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD IDENTIFIED SOME KEY RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN STREETSCAPE ALONG A COUPLE OF THE CORRIDORS TO HELP AUGMENT THE OVERALL LOOK AND FEEL OF THE CITY TO ALIGN WITH WHAT WAS HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND THEN ON THE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES, REALLY, THAT WAS A CHAPTER THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO ONE REPORT, PRODUCE A REDUNDANCE IN INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN SUCH AN DEVOTED AMOUNT OF DETAIL AND AMOUNT OF EVENTS WITHIN THE PUBLIC FOR THE HAMPTON ROAD CORRIDOR. WE WERE INDICATED THAT WE WOULD TAKE A LOT OF WE WOULD TAKE ALL THE INFLUENCE, ALL THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM THE HAMPTON ROAD PROJECT, AND SEE HOW WE CAN APPLY IT TO THE REST OF THE CITY BASED ON NODES AND SIMILARITIES IN TERMS OF THE LOOKS AND FEEL. AND SO THE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES REALLY PROMOTES AND IDENTIFIES OVERALL GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF ESTABLISHING THE LOOK AND FEEL OF CERTAIN AREAS, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS OR RECOMMENDATIONS WERE. FOR THOSE LARGER KIND OF ADDED LIKE A LARGER ZONE BASED BLOCK. SO IT'S NOT BLOCK TO BLOCK, IT'S MORE OF LIKE A LARGER ZONING AREA. AND THEN REALLY KIND OF IDENTIFYING HOW THERE IS REFINEMENT IN SOME PARKING STANDARDS. AND THEN IDENTIFYING SOME LOW IMPACT DESIGNS, INDICATIONS AND STANDARDS THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AS DEVELOPMENT IS TO OCCUR. AND THEN ON THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER THERE WAS THREE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THAT WERE AN OUTCOME OF THE STREETSCAPE GUIDELINE. AND THERE WAS FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINE REALLY JUST TO OUTLINE AND INDICATE WHAT SHOULD BE PULLED FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO PROMOTING CONNECTIVITY AND WELLNESS. YOU KNOW, IDENTIFYING A GATEWAY TO THE CITY AND THEN ALSO IDENTIFYING THE LOW IMPACT DESIGN TECHNIQUES TO CREATE A UNIQUE DESTINATION FOR THE COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING ANOTHER GATEWAY AT THE NORTH HAMPTON CORRIDOR, WHICH WAS IN ALIGNMENT ALSO WITH THE HAMPTON ROAD PROJECT. SO WITH THAT, THAT WAS REALLY KIND OF JUST THE UPDATES OF WHAT HAD BEEN TOUCHED SINCE WE LAST WERE HERE IN DECEMBER. BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE OF THESE TWO CHAPTERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU ALL HAD SEEN IN THAT PDF. COMMISSIONERS. ANY QUESTIONS? YES. VICE CHAIR BURKS. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. WHAT'S YOUR LAST NAME? I'M SORRY. SYLVAN'S. GOOD EVENING, MISS EVANS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I THINK I DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED THAT THESE TWO CHAPTERS BE INCLUDED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SO THAT WE CAN COULD HAVE THAT ALIGNMENT WITH THE CHAPTER SEVEN TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY AND THE STREETSCAPE GUIDELINES. SO LOOKING JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE ARE BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER ADDING THESE TWO CHAPTERS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. NO SPECIFIC STREET CROSS SECTION RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IN THESE TWO CHAPTERS. OR ARE YOU SAYING THAT THERE ARE SPECIFIC STREETSCAPE? I MEAN, STREET SECTIONS THAT ARE BEING WE'RE BEING ASKED TO LOOK AT. I THINK THERE WAS ANOTHER ATTACHMENT THAT SHOWED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STREET ITERATIONS, LIKE ON HAMPTON ROAD WITH A ROAD DIET. IS THAT A PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION, OR IS IT JUST THE TWO CHAPTERS WITH THE HIGH LEVEL, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTING THE GOALS, SUPPORTING REGIONAL

[00:35:05]

ACCESS AND EFFICIENCY AND SUPPORT, ENCOURAGING A SAFE AND CLEAN MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK? SO I'M TRYING TO GET CLARIFICATION ON WHAT WE'RE BEING ASKED TO DO. HIGH LEVEL.

INCLUDE THESE TWO CHAPTERS FOR ALIGNMENT WITH THE GOALS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN CHAPTER SEVEN. OR ARE WE BEING ASKED TO APPROVE SPECIFIC CROSS SECTIONS OF SPECIFIC ROADWAYS? HIGH LEVEL. HIGH LEVEL. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. GREAT. THAT'S MY MAIN QUESTION. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DO. OH GO AHEAD.

MR. BREWER, YOU SAID THE ASK FROM THE VICE CHAIR WAS THAT IT WAS AN APPROVAL OF HIGH LEVEL, BUT AM I CORRECT? AND THERE THERE ARE SPECIFIC ELEVATIONS AND VISUALIZATIONS OF STREET SECTIONS IN THESE CHAPTERS. CORRECT. IN THE TRANSPORTATION, IN THE TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER, THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE ALIGNED WITH THE NEW ZONING CHANGES, AND THERE ARE SOME CHANGES IN SOME OF THE ROADWAY WIDTHS. BUT THAT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WE CAME IN DECEMBER. NOW, I FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, AND NICOLE HAD DONE CHAPTER SEVEN ORIGINALLY WE INTEGRATED IN OURS. YOU'LL NOTICE, MA'AM, THAT YOU THERE WAS SOME DIFFERENTIATIONS BETWEEN THE TRANSPORTATION SECTION AND THE REST OF THE REPORT. AND THAT IS WHEN NICOLE AND I INTERNALLY WENT BACK AND FORTH TO REVIEW THAT SECTION WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, AND DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY. I CANNOT TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT THOSE CHANGES WERE, SINCE I WAS OUT OF OUR KIND OF OVERVIEW. THAT WAS OUR CITY ENGINEER IS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE, BUT WHAT ARE FREESE AND NICHOLS DID WAS TO TAKE CHAPTER SEVEN IN THAT CHAPTER EIGHT. THAT WAS FROM THE ORDER. THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S REVISED SO IT CAN BE IN SYNC WITH CHAPTER SEVEN. AND ALSO THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS IN IT WAS IN SYNC, WAS THE PAVEMENT MANUAL, WHICH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DID, AN UPDATED PAVEMENT MANUAL. SO THEY PUT THAT ALL THAT INFORMATION TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EIGHTH CHAPTER IS IN SYNC WITH THE SEVENTH CHAPTER SEVEN, WHICH IS TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY, AS WELL AS THE CITY PAVEMENT PAVEMENT MANUAL. AND LIKE I SAID AGAIN, OUR CITY ENGINEER IS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON STREETSCAPE. OKAY, SO WHAT I THINK I UNDERSTAND FROM THAT IS THAT THE MAIN THE BEEF OF IT FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAN IS STILL THERE. WE JUST WENT BACK WITH THE CITY'S PAVING DESIGN MANUAL AND TWEAKED DISTANCES AND TWEAKED SIZES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, LANE SIZES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT THE, THE MAIN FRAME OF IT IS STILL FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAN, RIGHT? YES.

GOT IT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER. OKAY, I JUST HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. HOW DO THEY DEFINE GATEWAYS? BECAUSE I NOTICE IN IN YOUR THE PRESENTATION THAT WE RECEIVED, IT HAD LIKE THE AMERICAN CITY AND IT HAD DESOTO IN CERTAIN PARTS. HOW DO THEY DEFINE GATEWAYS. THE GATEWAY I'M SORRY THE GATEWAY WHICH IS RECOMMENDED, IS KIND OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE SO THAT THEY BELIEVE THERE IS ONE AT THE NORTH HAMPTON, WHICH WAS WHAT WAS AN OUTCOME OF THE HAMPTON ROAD PROJECT. SO KIND OF JUST A AN UNDERSTANDING. SO WHEN PEOPLE ARRIVE, THEY KNOW THAT THEY'VE ARRIVED IN IN DESOTO. SO WHETHER IT HAS A NAME CITY OF DESOTO, WELCOME. OR AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HAMPTON ROAD, IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF LANDMARK THAT KIND OF INDICATES WHERE YOU'RE AT.

OKAY. AND I NOTICED THAT IN YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU HAD SOME AREAS THAT WERE YOU SAID WERE GOING TO HAVE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. SOME OF THE INTERSECTIONS ARE VARIOUS THINGS, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ON GATEWAYS, NOT THIS PRESENTATION. WHAT WE RECEIVED TO LOOK AT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY INFORMATION ON GATEWAYS. AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION IS I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS WHERE DUNCANVILLE, WHERE DUNCANVILLE, CEDAR HILL AND DESOTO INTERSECT TOGETHER.

THOSE TWO CITIES HAVE IT HIGHLIGHTED THAT YOU'RE ENTERING INTO THEIR CITIES. BUT AND WE DON'T HAVE IT HIGHLIGHTED. SO THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING, HOW DO YOU DEFINE GATEWAYS OR HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHERE WOULD YOU PUT A MARKER THAT SAYS YOU'RE ENTERING DESOTO? SO BECAUSE THE

[00:40:06]

URBAN DESIGN CHAPTER WAS BASED ON THE INPUT THAT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE HAMPTON ROAD. MY GUT IS TELLING THAT WHEN THERE IS DOING SOME PUBLIC INTERACTION WITH THE COMMUNITY, WITH THE SURVEY OR THEIR EXERCISE FROM THE HAMPTON ROAD PROJECT TEAM, THEY ASKED THE COMMUNITY, WHERE DO YOU FEEL THERE SHOULD BE THE KIND OF ENTRANCE? WHERE IS THERE LOGICAL SENSE OF COMING INTO THE CITY? WHERE DO YOU FEEL THERE SHOULD BE THAT GATEWAY, WHICH IS WHERE, BUT YOU CAN'T QUOTE ME BECAUSE I WASN'T PART OF THAT COMMUNITY INPUT. BUT USUALLY IF WE WERE TO HAVE DONE THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WE WOULD ASK THE COMMUNITY FROM THE MAP, WHERE DO YOU FEEL WE SHOULD BE? YOU KNOW, IDENTIFYING A GATEWAY ENTRANCE SO THAT WHEN YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S MORE OF A PUBLIC REALM WHERE PEOPLE YOU KNOW ARE GOING TO BE MORE ATTRACTED TO VERSUS MORE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHERE IT'S PEOPLE THAT LIVE WITHIN THE AREA ARE GOING TO BE GOING IN AND INTO FROM THAT KIND OF POINT OF VIEW. SO IF A COM WERE HAVE DONE THE ENGAGEMENT ON THE STREETSCAPE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HOW WE WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED OR DEFINED GATEWAYS. OKAY. THANK YOU. THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS I THINK IT WAS SECTION. IT WAS SECTION 1.4. AND IT MAY BE A QUESTION FOR THE OTHER GENTLEMAN BETWEEN BELTLINE AND I THINK IT'S PLEASANT RUN ON HAMPTON WHERE IT HAD THE SIDEWALKS, THE TWO LANES, AND IT HAD THE TURN LANE. AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW, DO WE KNOW THE LENGTH OF THE TURN LANE, WHAT THEY WOULD BE? AND JUST LIKE FOR STACKING PURPOSES, IT WOULD IT BUILD UP OR STOP THE FLOW INTO THE LANE THAT'S PROCEEDING THAT THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAD. IS THAT FOR YOU OR FOR THE OTHER GENTLEMAN? I'M NOT THE ENGINEER.

YEAH. OKAY. I BELIEVE YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT STILL THAT HAMPTON ROAD CHARACTER CODE AREA BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, JUST NORTH OF PLEASANT RUN AND JUST SOUTH OF BELTLINE. YEAH. NOW THAT IS STILL UNDER ENGINEERING. WE HAVE THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE PROJECT. YOU KNOW, THAT SHOWS ONE LANE IN BOTH DIRECTION WITH THE CONTINUOUS TURN. BUT TRULY, THE DETAILS OF A DETAILED SET OF DRAWINGS TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHAT ARE THE TURN LANE LENGTHS, IT HASN'T BEEN TOTALLY DEFINED YET. OKAY, SO WHAT WE'RE JUST LOOKING IS THAT THE CONCEPT OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE? OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. VICE CHAIR, MR. MAYOR, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. THE TIME IS 642, AND THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? HEARING AND SEEING. NONE. THE TIME IS NOW. 643. AND THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. COMMISSIONERS, AT THIS TIME WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE, I'LL MAKE ONE. I MOVE THAT WE FOLLOW STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE NEW CHAPTERS. CHAPTER EIGHT STREETSCAPE GUIDELINES AND CHAPTER NINE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES TO THE CITY'S 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS PRESENTED. I SECOND THAT MOTION. ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY VICE CHAIR BROOKS AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GRAHAM. ARE YOU READY FOR THE QUESTION? ALL RIGHT.

ARTICLE TEN AND PLANNING. AT THIS TIME, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSES. ALL RIGHT. THE AYES HAVE IT AND THE MOTION PASSES. MR. ATTORNEY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR ME? WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION? I WOULD SAY IT DOES NOT FIT, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY EITHER. TAKE IT OFFLINE THEN. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. AND THEN WE'RE DOWN TO G ITEMS

THERE IS A DEADLINE TO DELIVER THE TOYS TO THE CHILDREN BY THE 14TH, WHICH IS IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE TIME TO PREPARE THOSE TOYS FOR THE PARENTS TO COME AND SHOP AND PICK THOSE UP. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH, AT 1121 EAST WINTERGREEN ROAD IN DESOTO. THAT IS GOING TO BE ON NOVEMBER 21ST FROM 10 A.M. TO 2 P.M, AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE EVERYONE COME JOIN US AND HELP SPREAD JOY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER BILL, COULD A QUESTION FOR YOU. THE TOYS NEED TO BE DELIVERED TO ANY OF THE LOCATIONS BY THE 14TH OF NOVEMBER. YES, THAT IS CORRECT. SO ON THE BACK OF THIS FLIER, WE HAVE SEVERAL LOCATIONS. AND IF YOU CALL THAT NUMBER I MENTIONED, THEY CAN GIVE YOU THAT LIST OF LOCATIONS. I THINK YOU CAN COME DOWN HERE AND GRAB ONE OF THESE FLIERS IN THE LOBBY. AND IF YOU CAN'T GET THOSE DELIVERED BY THE 14TH, YOU STILL HAVE A FINAL OPPORTUNITY ON THE 21ST TO BRING THOSE GIFTS WITH YOU. AND ALSO VOLUNTEER TO HELP ARRANGE IT SO THAT THE PARENTS CAN COME SHOP FOR THEIR CHILDREN ON THE 21ST AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH ON WINTERGREEN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST? NOT COMMUNITY INTERES, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT POTENTIALLY CANCELING OUR NEXT MEETING. WE CAN. BUT IT IT'S HOLDING MEETINGS OR NOT HOLDING MEETINGS IS UP TO THE CHAIRMAN. HE CAN UNILATERALLY DECIDE WHETHER TO CANCEL OR NOT. WE'VE ALREADY HAD OUR NOVEMBER MEETING. THAT'S ALL THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES. OTHER THAN THAT, THE CHAIRMAN CAN CANCEL OR NOT. YEAH. JUST KNOWING THIS CHAIRMAN, HE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS, I'M SURE. SO JUST SINCE WE I MEAN. MISS BROOKS, I'M GOING TO TALK TO MR. MR. AMIN, VICE CHAIR. I'M GOING TO TALK TO MR. BREWER AND MISS MONROE, AND THEN WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHETHER THAT MEETING IS CANCELED. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. MISTER CHAIR, I DO HAVE A CORRECTION. THE FLIER DOES SAY NOVEMBER 14TH, BUT DECEMBER 14TH IS THE VERY LAST DAY. YOU CAN DROP THOSE TOYS OFF. SO YOU DO HAVE ANOTHER MONTH TO GET. GET THOSE IN THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE THAT CORRECTION.

ALL RIGHT, MISS MONROE, ANYTHING FOR THE COMMISSIONERS? MR. BREWER? YES, I JUST WANT TO KEEP YOUR CALENDARS OPEN FOR SATURDAY, DECEMBER THE 7TH. CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE IS STILL TRYING TO COORDINATE A JOINT MEETING BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL, THE DESOTO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THEY WANT TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU THREE STRONG BOARDS MEET MORE PERIODICALLY THAN YOU HAVE BEFORE. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER DETAILS ABOUT THEIR MEETING AGENDA, BUT THEY ARE PLANNING. BUT IF YOU WOULD PUT THAT ON YOUR CALENDARS JUST AS A AN ADVANCE PLACEHOLDER, I'D APPRECIATE IT. OKAY, SO I WOULD ASSUME THE NOVEMBER THE 18TH JOINT MEETING IS NO LONGER. CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? COMMISSIONERS, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT DATE AGAIN? SATURDAY, DECEMBER THE 7TH DECEMBER 7TH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IF NOT, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT. SO MOVE, MR. CHAIRMAN. DO I HAVE A SECOND? ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN MOVED. AND SECOND, THAT WE ADJOURN. EVERYONE IN FAVOR? SAY GOOD NIGHT. GOOD NIGHT. GOOD NIGHT.
