Jared Maier, representing Rheas Mill Baptist Church, spoke about the project and noted that a
capital campaign was underway, and they hoped to keep the portables for as short of time as
possible. But he noted that a request for an extension was probable. Mr. Maier confirmed the
portables will meet all accessibility requirements.

Glushko: Reviewed the scope of the request, noted the location of the proposed uses and the
major requested changes.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Alzner.
Joe Drysdale, representing Mathews Southwest, explained the reasons for the requested
amendments, the need for higher office density along DNT, and the issues regarding first floor
retail and restaurants in a multifamily building. He noted they want to reduce residential density
in the downtown area and push that density north.
Andres asked if there was an issue of more residential and less commercial
Drysdale noted that tenants will need the restaurant and entertainment uses as an attraction to
move to this area.
Andres asked about the family profile of the tenants.
Drysdale noted the average age of tenants will be 28.4 years of age per a recent report. Less
than 9% of the tenants will be family with children, but most of those children will be younger than
school age. Most units will be one -bedroom units. These developments are not designed for
children, they are designed for young adults.
In regard to the stand-alone garages, Drysdale noted the offices warranted the placement of the
garages. Office tenants require covered parking. They will place a lot of attention on screening.
In regard to masonry standards, Drysdale noted they want a modern design with the ability to use
stucco.

Joe Riccardi, project engineer with Kimley-Horn, noted the reason for removing buffer regions
was that the buffer regions were creating more challenges and restrictions than benefits for
designing better street cross sections.
In regard to food trucks, Drysdale noted they will work with staff on a plan for the location of trucks.
Drysdale noted the first hotel would be a Springhill Suites by Marriott, the additional hotel in the
northern sector would be a full service hotel.
Alzner expressed concern of the apartments being built first without retail and offices.
Drysdale explained that it was not in their financial interest to develop only multifamily uses, and
the development agreement with the Town controlled the types of development
Drysdale noted that phase one will include the four-story office building, limited service hotel, two
multifamily buildings, retail structures and all public infrastructure to serve this phase. They want
to start moving dirt before the end of the year.
Marilyn Jones, representing the Latimore Materials concrete batch plant, asked about the impact
on their batch plant.
Glushko indicated that each batch plant had different zoning classifications, and he would contact
Ms. Jones to review the specific zoning entitlements on their property.
In response to a question, Drysdale noted the presence of the batch plants would not have a
negative impact on their development.
In response to a question, Glushko explained the process for allowing the mobile food vendors.
In a response to a question, Drysdale noted there will not be a high rise office before the new
southbound DNT service road is built. A corporate high rise user will want to know the timeline
for the main lanes of DNT.
There being no other speakers, the Public Hearing was closed.
Motioned by Daniel, seconded by Atteberry, to approve Item 6 subject to staff recommendations.
Motioned approved 6-0.
8. Review actions taken by the Town Council and possibly direct Town Staff to
schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
