September, and since October staff has been reviewing GIS and asset linking, and data
analysis. Mr. Blankenship reviewed the pavement condition index (PCI), a numerical
rating given to a section of roadway based on the roadway conditions, severity and
extent of pavement distresses. The data illustrates that 105.52 of the 256 centerline miles
are in the good category; 52.27 centerline miles are in the satisfactory category; 46.69
centerline miles are in the fair category; 25.53 centerline miles are in the poor category;
21.68 centerline miles are in the very poor category; 4.83 of the centerline miles are in
the serious category; and 0.19 of the centerline miles are in the failed category.
Mr. Blankenship commented that the data shows the city's system has a 10.4% backlog
where centerline miles are considered in the very poor category. These centerline miles
are not typically included in the city's maintenance program or project due to higher
costs to rehabilitate or reconstruct.
Mr. Blakenship pointed out that RAS provided an additional assessment, international
roughness index (IRI), a statistic used to estimate the amount of roughness in a
measured longitudinal roadway profile. The rideability aspect compares each segment in
a similar index and allows streets that do not necessarily have enough distresses to
negatively impact their PCI enough to be considered in the city's maintenance programs
to now be considered based on their poor rideability qualities. The network IRI data
illustrates that 3.2 centerline lines are in the good category; 54.2 centerline miles are in
the satisfactory category; 85.7 centerline miles are in the fair category; 63.9 centerline
miles are in the poor category; 35.8 centerline miles are in the very poor category; 12.1
of the centerline miles are in the serious category; and 1.8 of the centerline miles are in
the failed category.
Mr. Blankenship commented that the city now has two indices--pavement condition index
(PCI) and international roughness index (IRI)--to balance in order to identify rougher
roads with poor PCI ratings. Mr. Blankenship shared that this new technology is known
as the overall condition rating index (OCI). The network OCI data illustrates that 54.85
centerline lines are in the good category; 76.03 centerline miles are in the satisfactory
category; 59.55 centerline miles are in the fair category; 37.04 centerline miles are in the
poor category; 26.09 centerline miles are in the very poor category; 3.00 of the
centerline miles are in the serious category; and 0.15 of the centerline miles are in the
failed category.
Mr. Blankenship shared that the city's consultant, RAS, recommended three new
techniques (1) high density mineral bond, (2) slab adjustment and lifting, and (3) surface
preservation to include in the city's program, depending on funding levels. Staff is
finalizing the current year plan that will include the assessment data and findings by RAS.
A Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Committee meeting will be scheduled to review the
program and forward recommendations to the City Council.

4. DISCUSS BROADCASTING OF CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETINGS.

facilities, such as Grand Hall, are not capable of live broadcasting. The meeting would be

Applicant representative Roberto Nunez, 513 Mulberry Lane, DeSoto, Texas with Alchemi
Development Partners presented the request. The application for a special use permit is
required for the proposed new land use and wine bar that will have more than 75% of
sales from alcohol. The Margarita Hut will be have on-premise consumption and alcohol
products to go. Mr. Nunez shared that Margarita Hut will not have food sales. The
applicant will make improvements to the interior and exterior.
Property Manager Patricia Lopez with Ty Commercial Group located at 5930 LBJ
Freeway, Dallas, Texas supports Margarita Hut. She was surprised by the Development
Review Committee comments for exterior lighting, dumpster enclosures and landscaping
for the parking lot. She mentioned that the items have been in place for ten (10) years
and they have not been notified of the items being non-conforming. Ms. Lopez informed
City Council they received bids ($43,857.43) for the exterior improvements. Ms. Lopez
commented that the city's requirement is unreasonable and seeks modification to the
exterior improvement requirements.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The existing site was constructed in 1986 prior to
the adoption of the 2000 landscape code and development related ordinances. The wine
bar is a special use permit, as required under the C-1, commercial district standards.
The special use permit is limited to the 1,900 square foot leased area/suite. The
on-premise consumption shall not exceed 75% of the gross revenue. Special use permits
that are considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council typically
have recommended incremental improvements. Existing sites developed prior to the city's
current development standards include comments from the Development Review
Committee to address non-confirming features on the property. Staff recommends
incremental improvements to properties as they develop and evolve over time with
different land uses. Mr. Comstock reviewed the three site improvements (1) removal of
roof-mounted flood lights from the building; (2) provide enclosures for refuse containers;
and (3) replace ornamental trees with shade trees in parking lot islands to include
irrigation. The required improvements must be completed prior to issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for the new tenant. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at
their May 2, 2024 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 6-0, subject to the
conditions outlined in Exhibit B (land use and development regulations) of Ordinance No.
3853.
City Council and staff discussed the site improvement requirements and the criteria for
special use permits.
Mayor McCarty asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public
meeting appearance form to speak during the public hearing. There being no forms
submitted, Mayor McCarty asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak
for or against the item to come forward.
