Mr. Bill Deacon, 315 W. Hudgins, gave testimony as a realtor familiar with the market value of land in the area. Mr. Deacon advised the abutting properties g (4) 5 01/07/86 j 1 had been enhanced as a result of such road improvements, however, the effect of the increased land value varied.

Mr. John Hall #1 Echo Cove #10 Echo Cove 2. Mr. David Spalding 4. Mrs. Linda Ott 2706 Twin Creek Cove 3031 Timberline Drive k Most of the discussion concerned drainage and clarification of the recommendation relative to the Creekwood Estates lots. It was emphasized that assessment was for the curb & gutter costs only, and not for the street bed. School district participation in the assessment was also discussed. i The following letter was then read by the City Secretary: k j ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 7, 1986 City Council Grapevine, Texas 76051 Dear Mayor and Council Members: This letter is in reference to the proposed street assessment along Timberline Drive. Dallas North Properties, Inc. feels that the street assessment is unfair and inequitable for the following reasons: y 1. The street is a major thoroughfare and benefits the whole southwest Grapevine neighborhood and not just a few people who have adjacent property on the street. Also, most of the property owners do not even face Timberline Drive, but rather have sideyards on Timberline Drive. If the City feels a need to recover some of the funds for street improvements, the whole neighborhood should be assessed rather than a chosen few. i t 2. Our specific subdivision, Timbercreek Village, has lots that have only a side yard on Timberline Drive. Granted, the street improvement was an improvement for the neighborhood; but if it improved the value of the lots adjacent to the street, it also improved the value of the lots in the rest of the subdivision as well as the rest of the neighborhood. 4 5�5 F (5) K 01/07/86 3. Further, if the City would have built the street when the bonds were approved and in a timely manner, in all probability, there would be no need of any assessment at all. Please consider our concerns and the concerns of others who own property along Timberline Drive and do not levy a street assessment. This is not a dead end street or a lead in street for the exclusive use of a single subdivision, but a major roadway enjoyed by all and benefited by all. Therefore if the City feels a levy is absolutely necessary, then the levy should be shared by all. Sincerely, Ron Jackson Dallas North Properties, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There being no further comments, a motion to close the public hearing was offered by Council Member Dyer. A second was made by Council Member Brekken, and the motion prevailed by the ensuing vote: Ayes: Powers, Ware, Brekken, Dyer, Glynn, Spencer, & Wilbanks Nays: None REPLAT, TRIPLE M ADDITION The next item before the City Council for consideration was the replat of Lot 1, Block A of the Triple M Addition and take any necessary action. The Triple M Addition is located on the south side of West Northwest Highway, west of the Dove Road intersection, and is zoned "HC" Highway Commercial. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation made on December 17, 1985 was for approval by a vote of 6 to 1. The matter had been tabled at that time by the City Council. Public Works Director Jim Baddaker reviewed the previous concerns of the City Council, which included reservations about the "shared" parking concept. He noted that the applicant had submitted deed restrictions stating that shared parking among all existing or future lots of the subdivision would not be restricted by signs or any other means. Following brief Council deliberation, a motion was made by Council Member Glynn to approve the replat of the Triple M Addition with the deed restric- tions as submitted. Mayor Pro Tem. Ware offered a second to the motion, which prevailed by the ensuing vote: Ayes: Powers, Ware, Brekken, Dyer, Glynn, Spencer, & Wilbanks Nays: None ORDINANCE, AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE R-5.0 ZERO LOT LINE DISTRICT The next item considered by the City Council was an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance relative to "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District regulations and take any necessary action. Director of Community Development H. T. Hardy reviewed the proposed amendments as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission on December 17, 1985. These included 1) certain format changes, 2) deletion of certain references as a "single-family" use (it was felt this implied a low density development, and Zero Lot Line is a medium density use) , 3) designation under "Purpose" as an intended buffer, 4) amendment from 11 feet to 12 feet between structures, and 5) minimum and maximum tract sizes of 3 acres and 5 acres respectively. Lengthy Council discussion followed. Topics of concern included the quality of R-5.0 development in general and the intended use as a buffer. The caption of the proposed ordinance was presented for the record. i A motion was then offered by Council Member Spencer and seconded by Council Member Glynn to adopt the ordinance as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
