Lucas for several years I have became increasingly alann�d at the speed that a minor traffic inconvenience has becare a major problesn in this area. I am naturally concerned regarding the plans for the future residential development of this area.. As the road access naw in effect clearly indicates this specific area was not designed to accararodate the amr�unt of traffic naw main- tained in this portion of the city. At this tinue all traffic in the area in question has tw� (2) main access points and one (1) secondary access to the major thoroughfares of Northwest Highway and Dove Rr�ad. The access point at Hilltop Road and Dove Road is congested on Dave, a four (4) lane road, during the peak traffic periods. The access to Dove Road from Hilltop, a two (2) lane residential street, was obviously not designed to handle averflaw traffic fran the other streets and does become backed up during morning and afternoon rush hours. ��w The access point of Lucas t�o Northw�est Highway is normally blocked due to tY�e traffic signal at the intersection of Northw�est Highway and Dove R�ad. When the signal light is green then due to the back ""�� log of traffic already on Northwest Highway it is virtually impossible to exit or enter Lucas Drive. However, if the signal light is red then the traffic waiting for the green light will be backed up past the Lucas Drive access thereby blocking all traffic to or fran Lucas. In regard to the secondazy access to Northwest Highway, the only reasonably short access wait is to utilize the signal light in the front of the parking lot at the Safeway store, I feel reasonably sure that at san�e point in the near future Safeway Stores, Inc. will d�nand that the Grapevine City Cauncil locate an alternate route for the averflow traffic. I do not have a solution to this particular problem but I can assure you that the building of additional multi-family housi.ng in this area will do nothing to alleviate an already serious situation. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Sincerely, .�-:� s/Kathzyn V. Palmer s/Calvi.n W. Palmer GRID C Mr. Rc�bert Van Til, 101 Quail 12un, Bedford, Texas, expressed concern for the mobile home park ocated at 1416 Silverside Drive.

(9) 04/23/84 GRID F CONT'D Mr. Da.ve Dension, 5310 Harvest Hill, Dallas, Texas, expressed concern for two tracts loca.ted on the southwest corner of State Highways 121 South and 114 and on the southeast corner of State Highways 26 and 114. Ne noted that they wished to develap tY�e property for comrercial uses, which the proposed Planned Industrial District does not allaw. A request was made that this property be rezoned to the "CC" Community Coim�ercial Zoning District. Mr. Neil Nelles, 4201 Wingren, Suite 210, Irving, Texas. Mr. Nelles �� referenced three parcels of land (1) 15.879 acres on the southeast corner of State Highways 121 South and 114, (2) 11 acres located on the southwoest corner of Stat�e Highways 121 South and 114, and (3) 19 acres on the south side of Highway 114 and w�st of Highway 121 South. Each of these properties were � � proposed to be considered for Planned Industrial District zoning. He noted scene of the requirements of the "PID" ca.tegory and haw they would affect each of these areas. It was his opinion that "CC" c�rcial zoning would provide for the best use of this property, and he so requested. Mr. Hubert Gill, 550 Littlefield Building, Austin, Texas, representing S�uiwest Corporation, addressed the Council and Comnission relative to 22.8 acres located on the northwest crorner of Mustang Drive and Ponderosa. This praperty, being currently zoned "R-3" multi-family, was proposed for "PRD-12" planned residential district consideration. The awner planned a multi-family develognent at this location and requested this parcel be readvertised as such. He also noted they would be agreeable to an extension of the moratoriLun on this tract. GRID G Mr. J. H.

Mrs. Spencer reported that c�rcial and industrial uses are a result of the airport, which was built after this housing addition was in place. It was also noted that recent ordinance revisions nvw pravided for more strict screening, setback, and landscaping requirements. Photographs of the area in question were also presented into the record. NO►I'E: Mayor Tate left the meeting for a short period. ' Mr. Dave Denison, 5310 Harvest Hill, Dallas, Texas, addressed a 35-acre tract of land loca.ted west of Spur 382 and approximately 200 feet north of Highway 114.

Knight Survey, Abstract 898 Dear Ms. Spann: (10) 04/23/84 The follawing comrents are sut��itted as part of the public hearing announced by your notice dated March 27, 1984 for consideration of the City Council and the Planning & Zoning Coimtission. Subject tracts contain a total of approx�m�ately 52 acres. This pro- perty is on the east side of Pool Rc�ad and its north bounda.ry extends along the center of Bear Creek. It is bordered on the east by Parr Park. ,,,�., The New Zoning Map proposes a zoning of R-20 for this property. We do not believe this is a suitable zoning for the long term because in the past in discussion with prospective purchasers we cannot � recall where a developer has ever indicated any interest in trying to develop the property with a zoning such as R-20. Also we notice a zoning of R-7.5 is proposed for the property on either side of our land. Hcxaever, inasnazch as we, the c�mers, are not developers, we do not feel we are prepared tA request alternate zoning at this time. It would appear the logical tim� for such a request w+�uld be whenever a developer takes the praperty under contract for purchase, and at that time appropriate engineering studies could be made by a co�petent firnn in cooperation with the City Ehgineer. Ite�ns which could be addressed by these engineering studies include the follawing: 1. If the thoroughfare which has been planned to connect William D. Tate Freeway with Pool Road were routed along the southern boundary of our property, it would create a buffer between our property and the property south of ours. We would then have a buffer on all four sides (i.e. the creek, the park, Pool Road, and the thoroughfare) . 2. Some of the land might be given to the City for thoroughfare right of way and for park. � 3. The floating neighborhood canm�rcial district shown on the City's land use plan on Pool Road could be located on his prc�erty � on Pool Road between the thoroughfare and the creek. 4. The remainder of t,Y�e usable land oould be considered for one or a combination of several residential uses including duplexes, t:own houses, single-family homes, and apartments, as determined by the terrain, streets and roadways, the need for specific types of housing, and other factors. The density of the residential units thus determ�ned could be averaged over the 52 acres. 5. A review of e.xisting and planned facilities could be made to confirm that utilities requirements and traffic can be acca�x�dated for the usage configuration selected. Therefore, in vie�a of the foregoing, if the Council elects to zone subject property as R-20, we request such zoning be granted without prejudice and with the understanding it oould be considered for revision in the future.

Mr. Cothnml referenced a tract of land containing approximately 3 acres on the northwest corner, of Timberline Drive and State Highway 121 South. He represented the Grapevine Shopping Center Associates and spoke in support of the proposed "CC" Ccanrn�nity Coa�nercial zoning district classification. Mr. Jaines Lee, 1102 C�rce Drive, Richardson, Texas, spoke relative to a 3.75 acre tract located on the southwest corner of Mustang Drive and Tangle- w�od Drive. The property, which was currently zoned for high density multi-fami_ly development, was proposed to be rezoned. to the duplex or meditun (11) 04/23/84 GRID J CONT'D density category. Mr. Lee opposed the duplex zoning and requested the Council and Cc�mission consider an "R-MF-1" multi-family designation. Mr. Johnny Rogers, #5 Windy Knoll, Grapevine, Texas, represented The Vineyard Hareawners' Association and expressed their concern for three tracts of land in the Timb�rline Drive area. The first parcel is ]mcx�m as the Lightner Pro- perty on the south side of Timberline Drive and was advertised for considera- tion as "P�-6" Planned Residential District. Mr. Rogers supported a mirror ,�,,� image of the e.xisting development on the north side of Timberline Drive and supported "R-7.5" Single-Family District. He then referenced property ]mawn as the Box tract located on the north side of Timberline Drive and east of Oak Creek Estates. His group supported a "P�-12" designation on this parcel, � � which was to be considered for a high density multi-family classification. Finally, Mr. Rogers requested the Council and Planning & Zoning Commission consider a taanhouse zoning designation for a four-acre tract located iim�diately adjacent to the Nl�.nbrial Baptist Church on the north side of Tin�berline Drive. He felt this was a mr�re appropriate zoning for this parcel, which was proposed for "R-N�'-1" multi-family. Mr. Ron Jackson, 3410 Barberry Road, Grapevine, Texas, also spoke relative to the four-acre tract adjacent to the �rial Baptist Church. The tract was to be considered for a meditnn density, multi-family development, and Mr. Jackson requested the existing high density zoning be retained. Mr. Mark Tutun, 4233 Sexton Lane, Dallas, Texas, referenced a piece of pro- perty containi.ng 138 acres and located on the west side of Highway 121 South and south of Big Bear Creek. The Western Oaks Stiibdivision was proposed for this site, and he noted Zoning Application Z84-09, which had been tabled by the Planning & Zoning CaYmission on April 17, 1984. He then ccx�ared the pending zoning request with the zoning proposed by the City and requested that consideration be given to his proposal for the develo�xnent of this area. Said proposal including a ccm�bination of single-family, multi-family, and can- mPxcial zoning. �°'� Mr. Bob Gass, 433 E. Las Colinas Blvd. #750, Irving, 'Pexas. Mr. Gass represented the Chasewood C,�npanies and addressed property ]mawn as the Box ��"� tract generally located �rest of Highway 121 South between Mustang Drive and Timberline Drive. He agreed with the "R-N�'-2" inulti-family zoning proposed for the majority of this tract (96 acres) . His support for oonmercial pro- perty fronting on Mustang Drive and a planned industrial develo�anent on the east was also noted. Mr. George Rodriguez, 2810 Creekw�ood Drive North, Grapevine, Texas, expressed concern for the area surrounding the creek, which runs directly behind his home. He requested that consideration be given to retaining the single-family character of the neighborhood. R�SS & RDCONVII�TE Mayor Pro 'l�em Ware then announced that the City Council and Planning & Zoning C�mission wnuld recess briefly before hearing further testimony. Upon recon- vening in the High School auditoritun, Mayor Tate had returned, and all me.mbers of the City Council were present. The Planning & Zoning C�mission was also represented, with Coaimission�er Harlen Joyce being the only member not in attendance. GRID J CONT'D '�'" Mrs. Ann Glynn, #2 Whispering Vi.ne, Grapevine, Texas, spoke relative to three tracts of land in the Timberline Drive area. The first being the 4 acre tract ,�,,,.;� located adjacent to the M�r�rial Baptist Church on the north side of Tinber- line Drive. The existing zoning on the property was "R-3" for multi-family development, and Mrs. Glynn felt a duplex or t�wnhouse zoning category wr�uld be mr�re appropriate. The second tract addressed is awned by Mr. Larzy Lightner and contains approximately 90 acres on the south side of Timberline Drive. She expressed concern for the develo�anent of this property as low density residential and noted that, in her apinion, perhaps the "PRD-6" Planned Residential Development zoning district wnuld be the best use for this land and encouraged effective use of c�en space. Mrs. Glynn also petitioned (12) 04/23/84 GRID J C70NT'D the Council and Conmission to limit the nwnber of �ulti-family units proposed for the Box property located north of the Pearltree Apartrrents and east of Oak Creek Estates. Mrs. Lynn Winterbottan, 2816 Creekwood Drive North, Grapevine, Texas, expressed concern for future develo�nent along Timberline Drive. SY�e favored single-family hames to maintain the integrity of existing neighborhoods. � Mr. Charles Starnes, 1200 Copeland Rr�ad, Arlington, Texas, who is a consulting engineer for the Lightner property, yielded the poditun to Mr. Hubert Gill, � attorney, representing Mr. Lightner. The property referenced by Mr. Gill is located on the south side of Timberline Drive generally across fran the existing Vineyard subdivision. The tract wraps around Creekwood Estates to the west. The property owned by Mr. Larry Lightner to the east of this tract and a small tract north of Timberline Drive and directly east of Oak Creek Estates is under contract for sale to Mr. Jim Sawell, who was also to speak during the public hearing. Mr. Gill continued to note that his client was opposed to the "PRD-6" residential zoning as proposed. The property was currently zoned "R-3" nnzlti-fami.ly and "C-2" Cca�munity Business zoning districts, and he requested consideration be given to a higher density zoning classification. Mr. Gill also advised that they would have no abjections to an e.xtension of the m�ratoritun on this txact and request�ed the property be readvertised for additional consideration. Mr. David Spalding, 2706 'ltvin Creek Cove, Grapevine, Texas, also spoke relative to the Lightner property noted above. He emphasized their opposition to the proposed "PRD-6" designation and once again requested a readvertisement and moratoritun extension on this tract. Mr. Jim Sawell, 1112 Copeland Road, Suite 420, Arlington, Texas, then addressed that portion of the Lightner property which is under contract for sale to him, said property being located. on the north side of Timberline Drive �* fran the east side of Oak Creek Estates to the Pearltree Apartments and on the south side of Timberline Drive fr�n the eastern edge of The Vineyard Sub- division east to State Highway 121. He referenced a separate zoning � application which had been filed with the City Staff which proposed "R-7.5" single-family develo�xnent on that portion of this tract lying west of the pro- posed Cheek-Sparger extension. The portion on the ea.st side of the Cheek-Sparger extension was proposed for "R-MF-2" multi-family. He also requested that no action be taken at this time and the moratoritun be extended until said zoning case had been heard by the Council and Ccx�nussion. GRID M Mr. David Risinger, 9460 N.

Mr. Bart Bradford, 1100 Macon, Fort Worth, Texas, spoke relative to approximately 147 acres of land located near the northeast corner of Highway 121 South and Glade R�ad, comnpnly ]mawn as the Mattie Allen tract. The pro- perty, currently zoned for c�nrnanity business and industrial uses, was pro- posed to be considered for planned �rcial develo�xrnnt. Mr. Bradford felt that planned c�xcial zoning on this tract was not the highest and best use of the land and requested an extension of the moratorium so they could submit � a zoning proposal for Council deliberation. Mr. Jim Ftiiller, 2610 Lakehill, Carrollton, Texas, addressed a 60-acre tract of �,,, land located at the northeast corner of Hall-Johnson Road and State Highway 121 South, which had been advertised for consideration of tawnhouse zoning. He noted a proposal for development of th�e property in accordance with the "PCD" Planned Comriercial District regulations and reguested the moratoritun be extended on this property in order for the "PCD" proposal to be available for � consideration. GRID N - Mr. E. D. Sallee, 2009 Navajo, Denton, Texas, expressed concern for a tract of land on the northeast corner of Glade Road and E1.iless/Grapevine Road.

Hulen, Suite 428, Fort Worth, Texas, referenced a 43- acre tract generally located bet�a�een Glade Rpad ar�d the proposed Hall-,7ohnson extension on the east side of State Highway 121 S. Mr. Tamnitz's finn was ,�,� under contract to purchase the property, which is currently zoned "LI" Light Industrial. This tract is situated between the Mattie Allen tract on the �st and the proposed Glade Crossing S�abdivision on the east, and Mr. T�mitz elaborated on his proposal for an adequate buffer between those two " " properties. His request was for "R-5.0" zoning for single-family hcanes on 5,000 square foot lots. Mr. Robert Sult, Craw Development Ccx�any, 2001 Bryan Zbwer, Dallas, Texas, spoke relative to 30 acres adjacent to the Bear Run S�bdivision, located north of Hughes Road and east of State HiyYiway 121 South. The property was proposed for consideration to rezone to "PCD" for planned caimiercial development. Mr. Sult noted his c;cm�any was predaminantly a hame builder and preferred a medi�n density residential classification. He briefly explained a proposal for a garden-type, detached home and presented a display of such a project. Mr. George Boswell, Jr. , expressed concern relative to 34.4 acres located off of Hughes Road between the Glade Crossing S�bdivision and Bear Run.

You are to be c�nded for your courage and stamina to assume this difficult and c�licated responsibility. A few days ago I received your notice of Public Hearing concerning the adoption of a new official zoning map which map will represent zonings of all the land in the City accordi.ng to the newly revised Zoning Ordinance and Master Plan. As the cx�mer and operator of Ticl�or Terrace Apartrnents in Grapevi.ne and awner of 4 lots adjacent to my apartm�.nts, I generally concur with your planner's recam�nda- tions with the follawing exception on my four lots. My four lots are Lots 5, 6, 7, and 8, Block 12, College Heights Addition located at the corner of Franklin and Austin. These lots and buildings in the past cuere used by me as support facilities (offices, storage, etc.) during the develo�rent process of Ticlmor Apartments with the idea in mind to build 4 plex apartm�nts on them after this interim use. The current R-3 zoning of these lots was acccx�lished in 1970 when the city started a "Block Zoni.ng" project which would have adjusted the entire city zoning by a large block at a time. This block that my lots are in was assigned mostly R-3 �► zoning in an effort to stimulate rehabilitation of this section of taan which was in a deteriorating condition at that time. As I drive through this section of the City I can see evidence that the �, block zoning worked �11. There have been several new apart�nts and duplexes built since then. I do not believe single family rehabilitation w�uld have occurred if it had remained single family. I respectfully request that you zone my four lots mentioned above to a category that will allaw me to construct four plex apart�rients in accordance with your neryuly adopted zoning ordinance.

The follawing letters were then entered into the record: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 25, 1984 As a property c�,mer on Glade Road, I, Ma.rvin L. Hunt, am interested in these proceedi.ngs. My property is approximately midway between highways #121 and proposed #360, zoned I-1 at present. Since I moved to Hurst in 1957, I have watched as Pipeline Road has becca�� one of the busiest, if not the busiest thoroughfare in Richland Hills, Hurst and Bedford. � In the early fifties, it wr�uld have been difficult to visualize the demands and requirements of Pipeline Road today, thirty years later. � I have watched as the cities went through the expensive and time-consuming process of widening Pipeline Rr�ad. Due to previous zoning, they ha.d to move gas meters, light poles, fire plugs, and man-holes in order to do this. Another problem--one city would have available funds and their adjoining neighbor would not. I have watched as the home awners along Pipeline put up expensive fences in an effort to get some relief form the loud continuous traffic noise. I have also watched as the same fences wr�uld be blown dawn by the wind, painted with graffiti and pictures. They (17) 04/23/84 w+ere torn dawn or burned by vandals, and apparently no one wants the responsibility for removing the cans, bottles, trash, and weeds between the fence and the road. As you drive along Pipeline now, you rbotice areas where some hpme awners have moved, after putting up with the noise for several years. They were not able to get in and out of their driveways. There was no place for guests to park. Same of their hanes have been replaced with various business, both large and snall. The areas along Pipeline Road that have been rezoned and businesses are �� operating, such as fast food, bakery outlets, offices, and other services, look nice, and are kept clean. More inq�ortant, they act as a far better noise buffer against the traffic noise for the home awners than the fences mentioned before. V Gla.de Road, at present, reminds me of Pipeline Rc�ad twenty-five years ago. I think it is inevitable that Glacl�e Rc�ad, due to it's access to the Airport, Highways #121, #157, and #360, will end up like Pipeline Rr�ad, rezoned, as time goes by, to business. Perhaps it is too late. After abserving the proximity of the fence line and fire plugs south of Glade FtQad, in the city of E�iless, and haw close they are to tYie center of the right-of-way, it appears to be getting more difficult and expensive to widen Glade Rr�ad as the years go by. Fran obsezving the grawth of the Mid�ities area through the years, I think the zoning along Glade Road w�uld better meet the needs of the area in the future if it was all zoned com�rcial, rather than have one sznall area that is residential along a main thoroughfare. s/Marvin L. Hunt 7078 Hurstview Drive Hurst, Texas 76053 �w �� April 26, 1984 TO: Grapevine City Council and Planning & Zoning Ccannission The undersigned respectfully requests that the property awned and occupied for the last 30 years by the Sims family, be zoned CC- essentially the same as it has been since first being zoned by the City of Grapevine. It has always been zoned C-II and it is being included with property cx�med by the E. D. Sallee family which has been zoned C-II and is currently designated �C in a plan for conmercial development. This land is bounded on the South side and the East side by the Sallee praperty, located on the Northeast corner of Glade road and �l.iless/ Grapevine road. The proposed zoning is essentially the same as CC, but it is desired that the new zoning be as close to the C-II zoning and the same as the CC zoning on the Sallee land. The total acreage is 4.46 acres and when ccxnbined with the Sallee property makes a rectangular shape ^�� which fits the proposed size and shape desired by this �rcial development plan. Respectfully, � s/Brenda & M. C. Sims GRID A The follawing letter sukxnitted by Mr. Jesse Woods was then aclazc�wledged: (18) 04/23/84 April 26, 1984 Mr. Willia�n D. Tate, Mayor City of Grapevine P.O. Box 1547 Grapevine, Texas 76051 ,,.., Dear Mayor Tate, Because of a prior coim�itment, I will be unable to appear before the � joint session of the council and P & Z this evening. Hawever, I do want to make a request for your consideration. It is with regard to a piece of property located just south of Kin�ball at the point where it turns to the east. The property r,omprises approximately seven acres and is surrounded on the east and south by Trail Lake Estates. I bought this land in late February of this year fran the Federal gavernme.nt. It appears on the zoning maps distributed by the city, incidental to these public hearings as "GU". Actually it was not advertised for rezoning at all, as I understand the notifications mai.led to all property awners. I recieved no notice with regard to this particular piece of property except that it is clearly identified in other notices I recieved. It is ooded with number 25 (�) . Until yesterday I had ass��ed that it wr�uld not be included in the zoning actions to be taken after these public hearings. I was told yesterday, hawever, that it might very well be rezoned regardless. The purpose of this letter is to request that it be zoned. R-7.5 in accord with Trail Lake Estates. Sincerely, � s/Jesse Wbods � ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRID B Mr. Claude R. Miller, 4243 Fairfax, Dallas, Texas, referenced a tract of land fronting on West Northwest Highway directly across fran the Northwest Plaza Shopping Center. The approximately 22-acre tract was proposed to be rezoned to "PO" Professional Office category, and Mr. Miller noted his thoughts to develop the property as a resort hotel, possibly the "H00" Hotel/Corporate Office designa.tion. He continued by requesting that no action be taken on this property until he had an apportunity to prepare some definite plans to present to the Council and CarnTdssion. GRID C & D Mr. Ted Enloe, 8823 Briarwood, Dallas, Texas, expressed concern for appro�- mately 28 acres fronting on Highway 121 North directly across fran the existing Harris Corporation facility. The property, currently zoned light industrial, was to be considered for rezoning to the Planned Industrial Dis- trict. Mr. F�loe requested that Planned Camnercial District be �nsidered, in order to allaw additional ccen�rcial uses. He briefly reviewed a proposal for development of this tract, which is bound on three sides by Corps of Engineers !�•"""' P�tY- IIVTIRE CITY � Mr. Don Bigbie, #4 Windy Knoll, Grapevine, Texas, addressed the entire zoning issue as a whole as it affects all citizens in Grapevine and c��nded the City Council and Planning & Zoning Canmission for their efforts for oontrolled growth. IIVD OF JOIl�1T PUBLIC HEARING At this time, it was determined that all persons who wished to present testimony relative to the City-instigated rezoning case had done so.
