Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The Container Store's corporate headquarters and distribution center is currently located in Farmers Branch at 13405 N. Stemmons Freeway. Due to the growth of the company, they have been seeking a new 345,000 sq. ft. corporate headquarters and distribution Vol. 68, Page 15 center site. Their first choice is a site owned by IDI in Valwood Business Park. The company has requested a 50%, 5 year real property tax abatement for their new corporate facility. As state law limits the award of real property abatement to the owner of property, several steps must take place should the City Council choose to comply with The Container's Store request including the following: 1. Hold a public hearing on the establishment of a reinvestment zone. 2. Establish the IDI property as a reinvestment zone by ordinance. 3. A tri-party agreement must be negotiated between IDI, The Container Store, and the City of Farmers Branch. Ordinance No. 2161 creates the reinvestment zone, and the agreement will be on the Council agenda January 23, 1995. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance establishing the Reinvestment Zone Number 3. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Mr. Doug Johnson, with Industrial Development International, came forward and stated he would like for the City Council to approve Ordinance 2161 which would allow IDI to compete with other cities. Mr. Johnson stated he would answer any questions the City Council might have. Mr. Garrett Boone, CEO of The Container Store, came forward and stated he appreciates the City Council considering this request. Mr. Boone stated the proposed building is a beautiful building which Farmers Branch can be proud of. A motion by Councilwoman Davis, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", closed the public hearing.

Councilman Phelps asked if these metes and bounds were the actual area to be built upon, or is it an entire block of property? Jerry Murawski, City Engineer, stated the legal description does identify the entire tract of land where the building will be located. 0 Vol. 68, Page 16 Councilman Phelps asked if this building is the only one that can be built in the reinvestment zone. Jerry Murawski stated this was correct. Mr. Murawski stated staff compared the legal description with the plat. Mr. Murawski stated he did not check how many lots were on the plat. Mr. Johnson stated the property is 16 acres and with a 344,000 square foot building this will take approximately 50 percent of the property. Mr. Johnson stated for all practical purposes this will be one building, one site. Councilman Phelps asked if another 345,000 square foot building could also be built on this reinvestment zone property. Mr. Johnson replied only one building could be built on this reinvestment zone property- A motion by Councilwoman Hardie, a second by Councilman Phelps, all voting "aye", adopted the following captioned Ordinance No. 2161 approving the establishment of Reinvestment Zone Number 3. AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING A CERTAIN AREA ELIGIBLE FOR COMMERCIALANDUSTRIAL TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS AND DESIGNATING IT AS REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER THREE, CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING THE BOUNDARIES THEREOF AND OTHER MATTERS THERETO. C.3 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF JOHN HALL BROWN JR., ON BEHALF OF MAR-THOMA CHURCH, TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A CHURCH TO BE LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF LUNA ROAD AND CROWN DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 1900 FEET SOUTH OF THE LBJ FREEWAY AND WITHIN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 67 (PD-67) ZONING DISTRICT AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The Mar-Thoma Church owns a 6.9 acre tract of undeveloped land located along the east side of Luna Road between Crown Drive and Lake Drive. The property is within Planned Development No. Sixty Seven (PD-67) zoning district. Churches are a permitted use within the district with a specific use permit. ~J Vol. 68, Page 17 The Church is planning to develop the property in phases, with 2.8 acres comprising Phase I. The site plan submitted for Phase I includes a church facility, 17,343 square feet area, containing a sanctuary, fellowship hall and classrooms. The entire structure will functionally be one story although the sanctuary will reach a height of approximately 49 feet and will accommodate 407 people. The building will have a tan tilt wall and patterned concrete exterior. Approximately 28 percent of the Phase I site will be landscaped. Future phases of the development must be submitted to the City Council and receive site plan approval before commencement of construction. The Church is also requesting approval of a cross, which will be attached to the west side of the sanctuary, to be placed at a height of 58 feet 6 inches above grade. The maximum height allowed is 50 feet; PD-67 regulations allow variations to standards to be considered as a part of the site plan approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a 5 to 2 vote, recommends that the specific use permit and associated site plan be approved as submitted and recognizing the cross height of 58 feet 6 inches. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Mr. John Hall Brown, Architect for the project, came forward and stated he would answer any questions the City Council might have. There being no other comments, a motion by Councilman Moses, a second by Mayor Pro Tem Pyle, all voting "aye", closed the public hearing. Councilman Moses asked if the property is currently taxed? Mr. Thomas Mathew, chairman of the building board and a church member, stated the property is currently taxed and the church paid approximately $8,000 in taxes last year. Councilman Moses asked that if the church is built will the property become tax exempt? Mr. Mathew explained the church would be tax exempt after requesting a tax exemption. Councilman Moses asked Mr. Thomas if he was aware of what is being proposed across the street, Luna Road, and would he be opposed to anything that might be built? Vol. 68, Page 18 Mr. Thomas stated he was not aware of any development planned for the area, however would have no objection to anything that might be proposed. Mayor Blair explained an owner representing more than 20 percent of the property immediately adjacent to and within 200 feet of the church's property has filed written opposition to the request; therefore, a favorable vote of 3/4 of the City Council, 4 votes, is required to approve the specific use permit. Councilman Moses asked if the City was clear on the deed restrictions on the property which prohibit a church from being built. Mayor Blair stated there are apparent deed restrictions or covenants still on the property. Mayor Blair explained the Mar-Thoma Church has requested the restrictions be removed. City Attorney John Boyle stated the covenants have no affect on any action that the City may take on the zoning. Mr. Mathew explained that a detailed investigation of the covenants was conducted. Mr. Mathew stated the deed restrictions and covenants allows the buyer to delete those restrictions and since their Church is the 100% owner, they deleted the restriction which prohibits churches. Councilman Phelps asked if the City Council approves this specific use permit, does the City become open for a lawsuit? City Attorney John Boyle stated the City would not become involved in any litigation. Councilwoman Davis stated that a letter the City Council received indicates the church would like to delay installation of some landscaping and a fire hydrant. Councilwoman Davis asked what is the position of the church on these items? Mr. Hall stated the church is willing to withdraw the letter. Mayor Blair explained that Luna Road is scheduled to be reconstructed sometime in the future, however no one knows exactly when this will occur. Mayor Blair stated City staff feels the fire hydrant needs to be installed at the time of construction. Mayor Blair stated that the City Council does not want anyone to go to the expense of installing landscaping and then it be torn out when construction of Luna Road begins. Mayor Blair asked if the church would consider landscaping with turf and installing a temporary irrigation system to keep the grass alive. Mr. Hall felt this would not be a problem and would consider the request. Vol. 68, Page 19 Mayor Blair explained that no one on the City Council is against churches locating in Farmers Branch. Mayor Blair stated the City Council is concerned with the industrial location, and a church constructed on the property would remove that property from the tax rolls. Councilman Moses asked the purpose of the 58 foot cross height instead of the allowable 50 foot cross height. Mr. Hall replied the cross is an architectural feature of the building and just a cosmetic design element. Mr. Hall stated when the cross was original designed it was considered a steeple and they were not aware it would fall under a classification of a sign. Mr. Hall felt the 58 foot cross would look better at this height. Mayor Blair explained the tallest building elevation is at 49 feet and the cross will have a height of 58 feet, therefore the cross would only extend 9 feet above the building. Mr. Hall presented a color rendering of the proposed church for the City Council to review. Mr. Hall stated that from an economic standpoint this church will service the entire metroplex. Mayor Blair stated the City Council has a certain reluctance because of another rather large church in Farmers Branch. Mayor Blair explained this church purchased several properties in Farmers Branch and some were removed from the tax rolls and some were not. Mayor Blair stated now all of those facilities are for sale. Mayor Blair hoped Mr. Hall could understand the reluctance and what the City Council deliberations are at this time. There being no other discussion, a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pyle, a second by Councilman Phelps to approve the specific use permit and the associates site plan including a cross height of 58 feet 6 inches by adopting Ordinance No. 2162, with Pyle, Phelps and Hardie voting "aye", and Moses and Davis voting "nay". The motion failed with a 3 to 2 vote. D.1 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 95-001 AWARDING THE BID FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EASTSIDE WATER LINES TO ATKINS BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. Waterline improvements on the eastside are budgeted in the 1994-95 Capital Improvement Program Water Bond Fund at $1,800,000. Vol. 68, Page 20 The first waterline improvement project is a 16 inch waterline that runs along Midway Road, TU Electric's right-of-way and Gillis Road to Langland Road. The 16 inch waterline will supply water to the City's proposed 1.5 million gallon elevated water storage tank that will be constructed on Gillis Road later this year. Six bids were received and opened on December 7, 1994. Five bids met specifications. The lowest bidder meeting specifications was Atkins Brothers Construction Company, submitting a bid of $552,240 with a contract time of 120 calendar days. Atkins Brothers Construction Company has provided adequate qualifications and references for similar work. With the award of this bid the total cost for this project including expenditures for right-of-way, design, construction, and materials testing is $694,468. The remaining funds of $1,105,532 will be used for other eastside waterline improvements. The City Engineer recommends adopting Resolution No. 95-001 awarding the bid for the eastside water lines to Atkins Brothers Construction Company in the amount of $552,240. Councilman Phelps stated the figure $169,213 is more than the Council had in their printed materials and the remaining funds will have to be reduced another $27,000. Mr. Murawski stated the $169,213 are the expenditures to date, the $694,468 is the total cost of the project, and approximately $3,000 difference which is for materials testing that has not been encumbered yet. Mr. Murawski asked if this answered Councilman Phelps question. Councilman Phelps stated the $694,468 and the cost of the bid is $552,240 this is a $1,422.28 difference, however staff states we have spent $169,213 and that difference is $27,000. Mr. Escalante stated the figure in the information memorandum states the bid price is $522,240. Mr. Murawski stated the correct bid price is $552,240. Mayor Blair explained if you take $522,240 and add $169,213 and include the $3,015 for materials testing it comes out to $694,468. Mr. Murawski replied he had used the figure in the information memorandum which was incorrect and caused the $30,000 difference. Mayor Blair stated staff needed to add $30,000 to the $694,468 which would make the correct total $724,468. Vol. 68, Page 21 Mayor Blair explained it would make the total $30,000 less and the corrected adjustment would be $1,075,532. There being no further discussion, a motion by Councilman Phelps, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", adopted corrected Resolution No. 95-001 awarding the bid for the eastside water lines to Atkins Brothers Construction Company in the amount of $552,240. Mayor Blair stated he noticed dirt was being taken from in front of the Farmers Branch Church of Christ. Mayor Blair asked if construction had broken through at this point. Mr. Murawski stated the construction had broken through at this point last week.
