NOTICE OF A PUBLIC MEETING Notice is hereby given that a meeting of the City Council of the City of Denison will be held on Monday, September 21, 2020, at 6:00 p.m., for the purpose of considering and taking action on all matters on the agenda for the meeting, including approval of an agreement with the law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP as special counsel to perform all legal services necessary to collect unpaid fines, fees and court costs as provided in Tx Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 103.0031 and authorizing the execution of such agreement.
The agreement to be considered is necessary for the unpaid fines, fees and court costs owed to the City of Denison to be collected in the most effective manner. The City desires that such unpaid fines, fees and court costs be collected as provided in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
The Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP firm is fully qualified to provide this representation, being a law firm specializing in the collection of governmental receivables in the State of Texas, as well as the United States, and having been engaged in this specialized legal service for more than 40 years. In addition, the Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, LLP firm possesses infrastructure and technology, such as call center technology, that the City does not currently possess.
Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP has represented municipalities like the City of Denison, for the past 24 years with competence and professionalism, in the collection of delinquent ad valorem taxes beginning in 1996.
The specialized legal services required by this agreement cannot be adequately performed by the attorneys and supporting personnel of the City due to the high cost of implementing the appropriate infrastructure and technology and employing sufficient in- house attorneys and staff with the level of experience and competence necessary to perform these activities.
Linebarger will be compensated on a contingent fee basis as provided in Tx Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 103.0031. This Article specifically provides for an additional collection fee in the amount of thirty percent (30%) in certain cases to compensate collection attorneys. A contract to pay inside or outside attorneys on an hourly basis would represent an additional cost to the City.
Entering into the proposed agreement is in the best interests of the residents of the City because the unpaid fines, fees and court costs will be professionally and competently collected without the additional costs to the City of implementing infrastructure and technology, and employing in-house personnel or paying outside counsel on an hourly fee basis which would otherwise be required.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
CITY OF DENISON
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
CALL TO ORDER
Announce the presence of a quorum.
Mayor Gott called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. City Council Members present were Brian
Hander, Obie Greenleaf, J.C. Doty, Robert Crawley and Kristofor Spiegel. Council Member Teresa
Adams was absent. Staff present were City Manager, Judson Rex, City Attorney, Julie Fort, City

Club, Aleece Robbins, Addisyn Robbins, Ace Johnson, Jaidah Watson, Kaleb Jason, Joshua
Merchant, Ashlee Conrad and Tay-Lynn Kimbrell.
2. PROCLAMATIONS AND PRESENTATION
A. Employee Meritorious Service Award.
Judson Rex, City Manager, presented Officer Jacob Shoemate of the Denison Police
Department with a Meritorious Service Award. Mayor Gott also presented Officer
Shoemate with a Proclamation recognizing his Meritorious Service Award. On July 31,
2020, Denison Dispatch received a 9-1-1 call reporting an unresponsive person. The caller
advised that when they arrived home, they found the victim unconscious on the floor.
Officer Jacob Shoemate arrived on scene and quickly recognized CPR had not been started
and quickly responded to the victim’s aid by rolling them over and beginning CPR,
providing the victim with a combination of chest compressions and breaths. Officer
Shoemate worked tirelessly on the victim until they gasped for air and began breathing on
their own, ultimately saving the victim’s life. Officer Shoemate performed a purposeful,
distinctive and successful lifesaving act for another human being. It is most appropriate that
we recognize this meritorious accomplishment of Officer Shoemate and present him with
the Meritorious Service Award – the highest award the City of Denison bestows upon an
employee.

Council Action
Judson Rex, City Manager, stated that as a CDBG entitlement community, the City of
Denison has been granted access to $173,668.00 through the Community Development
Block Grant Program – Coronavirus Response Funds, which is sort of a subset of the
CARES Act that was passed back in March. This money is basically made available to the
City to help the overall community with the response to Coronavirus and the COVID-19
pandemic. In order to access these funds, we have to amend our current CDBG 2019 Annual
Action Plan. So, the proposal before Council tonight is to hold a public hearing and then
allocate these funds into two categories. The first is for public services. Ninety-percent of
the funds would go toward public services which will allow us to provide financial
assistance to establish, stabilize and expand various organizations in the community that
provide education, medical, food delivery, cleaning and other services to support health care
and child care. Really, what we are eyeing here is an opportunity to help some of our local
nonprofits and organizations receive these funds as they try to adapt to the pandemic and
the changing conditions around us. This is where the bulk of the funds would go. The
remainder of the funds would be allocated to planning and administrative costs. Basically,
to help us recoup the cost of administering the program and help get the money out to
various nonprofits. Staff has had some conversations with a number of organizations in the
city that we are looking to assist with these funds, including the Boys and Girls Club to
provide some technology to them for remote learning opportunities for their kids. We are
open to other opportunities as well. The first action is to allocate it and make it a part of our
plan. We can then move forward and start allocating the funds. This is another opportunity
to help the community out and we are looking forward to that. Staff is recommending
holding a public hearing and then approving the amendment to the Annual Action Plan. The
CDBG Steering Committee recommended approval at their meeting on August 27, 2020.
Mayor Gott then asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak to this agenda item,
to which there were none. With that, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
There was no discussion or questions from Council.
On motion by Council Member Crawley, seconded by Council Member Spiegel, the City
Council unanimously approved a Substantial Amendment to the Community Development
Block Grant 2019 Annual Action Plan to allocate $173,668.00 of Community Development
Block Grant Program – Coronavirus Response funds (CDBG-CV) to be used to prevent,
prepare for, and respond to COVID-19.
B. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and take action on an ordinance changing the zoning of
Block 13, Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Original Town Plat, Denison Texas, from Light Industrial
to Single Family-5. (Case No. 2020-080Z)

Bill Medina, Planner, stated that the applicant was requesting a zoning change from Light
Industrial to Single Family 5. The 2018 Comprehensive Plan shows this area to be
developed as a residential neighborhood. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval at heir meeting on August 25, 2020. Mr. Medina then showed slides
of the property which included a survey, an aerial photo and a zoning map. The property
consists of 5 lots that are currently vacant. The developer recently purchased the property
and in order for them to move forward with constructing five new infill homes, the zoning
needs to be cleaned up. Mr. Medina went on to say that this property is in another pocket
of Denison where the zoning in this part of town, just north of Main and east of Austin has
challenging pre-existing zoning whether it is local retail, commercial or light industrial,
even though the rest of the neighborhood is primarily been developed as single family
residential, as you can see to the north and west. Staff recommends approval and that
Council hold a public hearing.
Mayor Gott then asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak to this agenda item,
to which there were none. With that, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
There was no discussion or questions from Council.
On motion by Mayor Pro Tem Doty, seconded by Council Member Hander, the City

Council Action
Bill Medina, Planner, stated that the applicant is requesting a zoning change from Single
Family 5 to Local Retail. The 2018 Comprehensive Plan shows this area is to be developed
as a Neighborhood with some light retail or light uses as appropriate. The Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended approval at their August 11, 2020 meeting. Mr. Medina
then showed slides of the property which included a survey, an aerial photo and a zoning
map. This property is the old Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club. The applicant recently
purchased the property and would like to relocate their childcare facility to this location.
Mr. Medina stated that staff is not sure why this was ever zoned Single Family 5, but they
are working on cleaning spots like this up. The facility is already outfitted for a childcare
use. There is an outdoor track and field and there is plenty of open space. There is adequate
parking and access. The applicant has conducted quite a bit of work already. Mr. Medina
then showed some pictures of the work the applicant has completed inside the facility. The
applicant has cleaned up the inside, polished the floors, done miscellaneous repairs to the
inside including the windows and walls. Staff recommends approval and that Council hold
a public hearing.
Mayor Gott then asked if there was anyone else present who wished to speak to this agenda
item, to which there were none. With that, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Doty stated that he appreciated the applicant doing this as this facility really
needs to have something in it. For it to have sat vacant this long is not good at all. So,
Mayor Pro Tem Doty stated he really appreciated the applicant taking this on because it is
a big project. Council Member Spiegel added that it looked great.
There was no further discussion or questions from Council.
On motion by Council Member Crawley, seconded by Council Member Greenleaf, the City

an order authorized by Chapter 214 of the Texas Local Government Code, including but not
limited to securing the building from entry, or the repair, vacation, removal or demolition

Council Action
Robert Lay, Code Compliance Manager, reported that on August 20, 2020, Margaret
Thomas, the Estate of R.J. Harvey, Jackie Marie Keaton and the current occupants were
given notice of violation and to repair or demolish the structure at 608 W. Florence. The
owners have failed to comply with the notice. The structure is unsafe in accordance with
Chapter 13, Article 7, Section 13-154(h), (l) and (o) of the Denison Code of Ordinances.
Code Compliance officers have documented 26 code violations and documented 16
complaints at this residence since 2017. Denison Police have responded to 32 calls at this
residence since 2018. Types of calls at this residence include overdoses, theft, fighting and
other disturbances. On July 23, 2020, an Administrative Search Warrant was executed to
assess the condition of interior and exterior of the structure. Code Compliance Officers, the
Fire Marshal and the Building Official were all involved in the search warrant. The search
warrant was obtained in response to a police officer who responded to a call at this location
and alerted Code Compliance to the conditions in which the occupants were living. The
structure does not meet minimum property standards as outlined in the City Ordinance due
to the dilapidated exterior structure. Among the violations found were people living in an
accessory building on the property, a large accumulation of rubbish and open storage
throughout the property. Mr. Lay then showed pictures of the property which showed the
various violations and filth and unsanitary conditions. On the interior of the property there
were many violations found, including exposed wiring throughout the structure, creating
numerous fire hazards. The residents are living in the residence with no water service. The
water meter was pulled in June due to a complaint we had about a leak. It was determined
that the residence was discharging raw waste onto the neighboring property. The search
warrant also revealed where the waste was going underneath the house, creating multiple
health hazards. The Denison Fire Department determined that it is unsafe to enter the
property if there is ever a fire at the residence. The tax appraised value of the structure in
2020 was $50,864.00. The taxes currently owed equal $1,643.68 and have not been paid
since 2015. The structure is a nuisance in the neighborhood, it is a fire hazard and a health
hazard for the occupants and is not fit to be occupied. A record of the violations, notices

Council Action
Robert Lay, Code Compliance Manager, reported that on August 20, 2020, Wanda Odom,
James Odom, Midland Funding, LLC, Internal Legal, Tommy Shires and W.R. Starkey
Mortgage LLP were given notice of violation and to repair or demolish the secondary
residential structure located at 927 W. Chase. The owners/interested parties have failed to
comply with the notice. The structure is unsafe in accordance with Chapter 13, Article 7,
Section 13-154(h) and (n) of the Denison Code of Ordinances. This property was worked
for minimum property standards earlier this year. The owner, in response to this, asked the
City if we could demolish. It did qualify for the demolition program. However, once we
did a title search it was determined that it would require several parties to sign off on consent
for the demolition. So, we decided to notice the public hearing to get a demolition order
instead. Again, the owner does understand what is going on and did consent originally. The
appraised value of the improvement is $1,366.00 in 2020. The taxes are current. There has
not been any water service at this structure since August 12, 2015. There is a main structure
on this property that the property owners live in. This is just a secondary structure on the
property that existed and has just not been maintained. Mr. Lay then showed pictures of the
structure which showed the unsafe conditions. The structure is a nuisance in the
neighborhood. The structure is not weather tight. A record of the violations, notices and

Council Action
Renee Waggoner, Finance and Administrative Services Director, stated we were here this
evening to hold a public hearing on the budget and to hopefully pass an ordinance adopting
the FY2021 budget. Truth in Taxation Rules and Local Government Code mandate a
governmental unit publish the proposed budget and hold a public hearing. As you know,
staff has held ongoing meetings since March of this year and we held a workshop in June
of this year with Council and staff. Presentations have been made at prior Council meetings.
The City Manager has met with staff individually and set priorities and brought those to
Council. The proposed FY2021 Budget has been posted on the City’s website since August
7 for review and updated as needed and been in the City Clerk’s office since this same time.
The proposed FY2021 Budget that is currently before you tonight, which is also on the
City’s website, is updated with any changes that have occurred since March. The public
hearing, adoption of the budget and approval of the ordinance are set for this evening here
at City hall at 6:00 p.m. here in the Council Chambers at 300 W. Main, Denison, TX. Staff
recommends holding the public hearing and funding the projects and program
enhancements identified in the proposed budget and approving the FY2021 Budget and
ordinance as presented.

Denison for the year 2020 in the amount of $0.652034 for each one hundred dollars of

Council Action
Renee Waggoner, Finance and Administrative Services Director, stated that before she
began this item, Judson Rex, City Manager, wanted to discuss some budget items that this
tax rate would support. So, Ms. Waggoner wanted to go back to these slides and give Mr.
Rex an opportunity to talk a little bit more about the budget and what is in it that this tax
rate will help support within that budget.
Judson Rex, City Manager, thanked Ms. Waggoner and her staff for all of their help during
the whole budget process. There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, so Mr. Rex
wanted to thank Ms. Waggoner and her staff for all of their work. Mr. Rex then briefly went
over some of the things included in the budget and touch on some of the priorities that are
included. Mr. Rex then reminded Council of the FY2021 priorities. This changed a little
bit through the pandemic as we wanted to make sure we positioned ourselves well to be
prepared and resilient through the pandemic and ready for whatever might come at us. We
seem to have faired pretty well so far and have seen some healthy revenues come in during
the pandemic despite business closures and other difficulties as well. Mr. Rex stated he
appreciated staff and Council helping guide our way through this. Mr. Rex then wanted to
remind Council of some of the organizational changes that have been made. A slight title
change to the Director of Communications & Engagement. This was previously the
Director of Community Engagement. This person will also oversee our Convention and
Visitor’s Bureau and marketing and tourism efforts as well. It is a vacant position we are
recruiting for right now and have received a really good response with our recruitment so
far. Mr. Rex also mentioned the creation of an Assistant City Manager position from two

existing leadership positions in Public Works and Development Services. We have retained
Strategic Government Resources to help us recruit for this position as well and it is out on
the street now. So, we look forward to a good response to this recruitment effort. We have
changed the title of our Code Compliance and Animal Services Manager position to
Neighborhood Services Manager. This title better reflects what this position is responsible
for and accompanies our goal to achieve a quality of life enhancement in our established
neighborhoods as well. There are also 3 new position in the budget as well: Animal
Services Officer, Code Compliance Officer and Communication Specialist (Dispatcher).
Mr. Rex thanked the Council and staff again for their guidance and work on the budget. Mr.
Rex stated he was glad we were able to keep our tax rate the same for this next year.

6. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
A. Receive a report, hold a discussion and take action to ratify the property tax increase
reflected in the FY2021 Budget.
Council Action
Renee Waggoner, Finance and Administrative Services Director, stated this item is required
if the City is adopting a budget that requires more property tax revenue then last year,
Council must also vote separately to ratify the property tax increase reflected in the budget.
Ms. Waggoner reminded Council that a majority of these taxes are on new development,
which we are excited about, but because this increases our taxes in our budget or the revenue
from that, we have to request that Council ratify the tax increase reflected in the budget.
There was no discussion or questions from Council.
On motion by Council Member Greenleaf, seconded by Council Member Hander, the City
Council unanimously ratified the property tax increase reflected in the FY2021 Budget
B. Receive a report, hold a discussion and take action on the proposed Denison Development
Alliance FY2021 Budget.
Council Action
Renee Waggoner, Finance and Administration Services Director, reminded Council that
every year the Denison Development Alliance Board of Directors meet approve a presented
budget for Council to approve as well, which Tony Kaai, President of Denison Development
Alliance, brings to you. Ms. Waggoner then introduced Mr. Kaai.
Mr. Kaai came forward and stated this was the 20th year he has made this presentation to
Council. Mr. Kaai said on behalf of the DDA staff, and personally from him, it is an honor
and privilege to serve this Council and the citizens of Denison for all of these years. It
![Page 18: CITY OF DENISON CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA...x Owners notified on September 9, 20 20 of public hearing. x Appr aised value of the improvement for 20 20 is $28,328 x Taxes due total](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051806/6001186aa5fa57676c434fa7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

means a lot to be able to work in this City and with the professional staff and all the City
employees DDA works with daily on projects that are happening this community. Mr. Kaai
then discussed the DDA budget. Typically, Mr. Kaai just hits the high spots. We are
estimating a 2% increase in our sales tax. Mr. Kaai then pointed out the Floor Stone lease.
When we built this Floor Stone building, we did a 20-year amortization schedule and did a
lease purchase with Floor Stone. A member of the DDA Board at the time recommended
paying this off within 15 years. That was 15 years ago. So, the net per difference in paying
this off is $400,000 per year over the next five years. Moving on, Mr. Kaai pointed out
computer expenses in the budget for upgrading hardware and software. We are going to
replace all of our computers and bring them up to date. Additionally, the copy machine is
10 years old. There is a line item for copier maintenance which includes a new copy
machine. Mr. Kaai stated there is a lot of money in the budget this year for estimated one-
time expenses. This is where we list all of our incentives that are outstanding. The work
they have been doing on Main Street and how much they plan to invest this year, a minimum
of $335,000 on facades. There is also the fire suppression incentive to share the cost on
installing sprinkler systems on Main Street because this is important. The last item Mr.
Kaai discussed was the Johns-Manville property and the cost to purchase this property and
then hopefully renovate it and redevelop it. So, there are some pretty big numbers in this
section of DDA’s budget. Mr. Kaai stated he knows everyone is aware of this as we all
worked on this together. Outside of these items, marketing expenses are basically the
same. The big budget item that DDA put in place this past year because of COVID, was to
help our small businesses on Main Street. So, DDA launched this eCommerce Program that
William has been administering, which will be a state award winner for its creative layout
and how it is helping small businesses become proficient in eCommerce.
There was no discussion or questions from Council.
On motion by Council Member Hander, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Doty, the City
Council unanimously approved the proposed Denison Development Alliance FY2021
Budget.
Mayor Gott commented that on behalf of the City Council, we are blessed that we have a
team in Denison that shares the same vision that Denison will become the community of
choice, and we are sure glad that the DDA team are a part of building the quality of life in
this city that is going to make people choose us. Mayor Gott thanked Mr. Kaai for all that
he and his team do.
7. PROJECT UPDATES
A. Provide an update on development of the FY2021 Park Trail and Master Plan.
Council Action
![Page 19: CITY OF DENISON CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA...x Owners notified on September 9, 20 20 of public hearing. x Appr aised value of the improvement for 20 20 is $28,328 x Taxes due total](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051806/6001186aa5fa57676c434fa7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Justin Eastwood, Parks and Recreation Director, provided an update on the FY2021 Park
Trail Master Plan. Mr. Eastwood stated today’s focus was going to be on origination of the
steering committee. Mr. Eastwood went over the Denison Parks and Recreation Mission
Statement because everything they do ties into this statement. Mr. Eastwood then shifted
to the park trail and master plan. A system-wide park master plan is a comprehensive
document and process that includes an internal assessment, community engagement,
resources and data collection, and development of an implementation plan. Grounding our
process and final master plan on the multi-benefits that parks bring to communities will
ensure we are positively impacting our city. It will also help gain support from multisector
partners and stakeholders and demonstrate that parks are a vital community infrastructure.
The cornerstones are health, economic impact and tourism, active transportation and natural
sustainability. Mr. Eastwood then explained about the creation of a steering committee.
The steering committee is a beneficial mechanism for ensuring partners and community
members have a way to regularly provide input into the process. This committee should
represent different perspectives of the community and should communicate many interests.
Committees can help bring new ideas to the table and make certain many different interests
are represented. A similar process utilizing a steering committee would be the City’s
Comprehensive Plan created in 2018. We would also look at the ETJ and other
transportation type plans. The committee formation will be made up of 12 to 15
representatives. Citizens would have different backgrounds of sorts such as outdoor
recreation, sport, wellness, nature and students. The committee would also include
members of the City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning and Zoning
Commission and community partners such as Texoma Health Foundation. The committee
would also include City staff, who would lead this process. These include staff members
from Parks and Recreation, City Manager, Public Works, Planning, Tourism and Public
Safety. The general timeline would involve formation of the steering committee. There
would then be a strategic kickoff meeting in late September. Staff would then draft the
scope of an RFP. In October/November, we would interview respondents of the RFP with
the committee and then sometime in November select a consultant. At that time, we would
negotiate a contract with the consultant. This would then go before the Parks and Recreation
Commission for approval sometime in late November/early December, and then to the City
Council for approval in December. Finally, in early 2021 we would be looking to kick off
the planning.
Council Member Spiegel stated he was excited to start this process. Mayor Gott added that
this master trail plan is the envy of everyone in North Texas and thanked Mr. Eastwood for
the presentation. The Council is all very excited to see this process begin.
There was no further discussion or questions from Council.
No action taken. Informational presentation only.

Summary
The Municipal Court wishes to establish a temporary amnesty program during the month of
October to allow violators with outstanding warrants to reduce their fines by donating cans of
food to the City, who will then distribute those cans to local food banks.
During the period of October 1, 2020 through October 16, 2020, any violator with an arrest
warrant and corresponding fine may bring ten (10) cans of food or other nonperishable items to
the City for a fifty-dollar ($50) reduction in the fine owed. A violator with an arrest warrant and
corresponding fine may bring twenty (20) cans of food or other nonperishable items to the City
for a one hundred-dollar ($100) reduction in the fine owed.
Upon conclusion of the temporary amnesty program, the Municipal Court would return to
regular enforcement of arrest warrants and fines.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve the resolution adopting guidelines for an amnesty program during the month of
October.”
Background Information and Analysis
The Municipal Court wishes to establish a temporary amnesty program during the month of October to
allow violators with outstanding warrants to reduce their fines by donating cans of food to the City, who
will then distribute those cans to local food banks. During the period of October 1, 2020 through October

to the City for a one hundred-dollar ($100) reduction in the fine owed. Canned food donations would
only be allowed to be made during normal City business hours at the Municipal Court window located
on the 1st floor of City Hall, 300 W. Main St., Denison, Texas. The Municipal Court previously ran an
amnesty program in February of this year prior to the annual Warrant Roundup, which was very
successful. The Municipal Court received over 1300 canned food and nonperishable items that were
then donated to St. Luke’s Food Pantry. The Municipal Court recently learned that the food banks in
Denison have been depleted because of the Covid-19 pandemic and would like to run another program
to help the community out. This program will also help reduce the burden on local law enforcement by

decreasing the number of outstanding arrest warrants. Upon conclusion of the temporary amnesty
program, the Municipal Court would return to regular enforcement of arrest warrants and fines.
Financial Considerations
This will reduce the overall amount of fees collected for the month of October.
Prior Board or Council Action
In February of this year, Council approved a temporary amnesty program prior to Warrant Roundup.

The Council could deny or modify the resolution or table the item.

City Council Meeting
Staff Report
Agenda Item
Receive a report, hold a discussion, conduct a public hearing, and take action on an Ordinance amending
the zoning Ordinance, Chapter 28, updating Section 28.48A – RI – Residential Infill Overlay District.
Staff Contact
Bill D. Medina, MPA
903- 465-2720 x2530
Summary
This item involves several amendments to the zoning (Chapter 28) code to address urban design
quality.
The Code amendments ought to serve well to provide flexibility to development within the
Residential Infill Overlay.
Proposed amendments consist of changes to lot dimensions minimums, setback requirements,
parking requirements, structure size requirements, while allowing for higher density.
A front façade diversity requirement is also being proposed.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance update.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve the Ordinance amending the Denison Municipal Code Chapter 28 as presented.”
Background Information and Analysis
Due to topographical and other site challenges, staff recommends modifications and updates to the Residential Infill Overlay Zoning District. Historic events such as the development of many railroad lines, some lack of access to public utilities, and irregular lot dimensions, have exacerbated the difficulty of residential infill development. The purpose of the proposed changes to the City Ordinance is to relieve some of the experienced challenges to development, while also improving neighborhood design and quality. Staff is exploring further improvements to the existing Code and is open to finding creative solutions to quell current and future development challenges.
The proposed amendments to the Residential Infill Overlay District include the following:
Lot dimension, setback, and residential structure size variation – Proposed changes allow lot
dimensions (standard 50’ x 100’ minimum) and are size a variation of the standard
requirements to all residentially zoned Infill lots by 30%. Any plat or residential site plan
request that exceeds this 30% threshold would require Planning and Zoning Commission
approval.
Setback requirements shall be consistent with nearby or adjacent lots. There are several infill
neighborhoods which have homes with a setback less than 20’ from the property line. Instead of
requiring a standard 20’ – 25’ front setback, staff would rather encourage neighborhood
![Page 63: CITY OF DENISON CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA...x Owners notified on September 9, 20 20 of public hearing. x Appr aised value of the improvement for 20 20 is $28,328 x Taxes due total](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051806/6001186aa5fa57676c434fa7/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
conformity and consistency. The amendment to the setback requirements will allow for much
greater flexibility for new construction in areas that are currently developed. Note that this
revision only affects the front yard setback.
Allowance of quadplex multifamily structures – Within all residentially zoned lots in the Infill
Overlay, staff would like to permit the construction of a single-family detached housing unit or
multifamily units. The builder/developer is still responsible for meeting lot dimensions, parking
requirements, setback standards, and all other development requirements, but would be granted
the option of constructing either a single family detached, duplex, or up to quadplex housing
units. This change should promote the creation of additional affordable housing units while
increasing Infill density, without the developer needing to pursue a rezone.
Variation of front façade elevations – As requested by the Planning and Zoning Commission,
Staff is proposing a requirement to prevent the repetition of front façade elevations within the
Residential Infill Overlay District. As currently proposed, the same front façade elevation of a
newly constructed housing unit could not be reused on the same City block. The average
Denison Infill City block consists of 8 -12 lots. Changes in color, siding material, and texture
are not considered changes to architectural elevation design. Creating this requirement would
improve the architectural diversity of the Infill area. Changes to building height, visible roof
pitch and roof line, window size, type, and location, as well as overall building design are some
examples which contribute to building diversity.
Off-Street Parking – A minimum of two (2) parking spaces on a paved drive are required for a
single-family detached housing unit. One (1) paved parking space per unit, per bedroom for
duplex or multifamily development, not to exceed two (2) spaces.
Other Findings
Staff finds these amendments are consistent with the purpose of the zoning code to further the orderly
use and development of land because urban design quality would be improved.
Financial Considerations
N/A
Prior Commission or Council Action
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on September 8th, 2020.
Alternatives
The City Council may approve, approve with conditions, table, or deny the proposed Ordinance
amendments.

City Council Meeting
Staff Report
Agenda Item
Receive a report, hold a discussion and take action on entering into a Professional Services Agreement

Summary
Podolsky Properties, LLC, or the owner, controls an approximate 118.09-acre tract of land in
the Denison City Limits and ETJ.
The owner plans to develop a mixed-use development with various types of residential uses and
commercial uses along the US 75 frontage.
The proposed Professional Services Agreement will allow the City to contract with professional
service providers such as engineers and planners, the cost of which will be borne by the
property owners.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Professional Services Agreement.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve entering into a Professional Services Agreement with Podolsky Properties, LLC for
payment of Consulting services related to engineering, planning, and other costs related to the
development of Podolsky Properties’ 118.09 acre site, and for the City Manager to execute the same.”
Background Information and Analysis
For the past several months, staff has been working closely with property owners and agents
representing Podolsky Properties, LLC on a potential mixed-use development at the southwest corner
of Stafford Drive and US 75.The owners control approximately 118 acres of land in this area, some of
which is located in Denison city limits and some within ETJ. The owners plan to develop a mixed-use
development consisting of various types of residential uses, and commercial uses along the US 75
frontage. In addition, the owners plan to pursue the possible creation of a Public Improvement District
(PID) in order to finance the cost of providing the necessary infrastructure and amenities for the
development.
In order to effectively plan this area for transportation connectivity and land use, additional work is
needed by the City and the owners. The proposed Professional Services Agreement will allow the City
to contract with professional service providers such as engineers and planners, the cost of which will
be borne by the property owners. The agreement specifies that the Developer will deposit $10,000 with
![Page 85: CITY OF DENISON CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA...x Owners notified on September 9, 20 20 of public hearing. x Appr aised value of the improvement for 20 20 is $28,328 x Taxes due total](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051806/6001186aa5fa57676c434fa7/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
the city to be used for professional services related to the planning of the development. Once less than
$2,000 remains of the developer’s contribution, an additional $5,000 will be provided to the City.
The City Attorney has drafted the proposed PSA for the development, and staff recommends approval
of the proposed Professional Services Agreement.
Financial Considerations
None. If approved, Podolsky Properties will submit a $10,000 deposit to the City within 30 days of
Agreement execution from which Professional Consulting Service invoices will be paid. If the balance
of the deposit falls below $2,000, funds will be added by Podolsky Properties in $5,000 increments.

No prior Council actions.
Alternatives
Council may disapprove, table, or modify the agreement.
