Our concern was the zoning of the property lying south and ,��, opposite of the Vineyard fran TimUerline Road and the adjacent properties east and west of that area. We also wish to congratulate the City of Grapevine upon receiving a Texas State award for the above land use planning. We in the Vineyard heartily agree and endorse the rec�ndation of the above Ordinance indicating that the zoning of the property of our concern is for single family hanes. Our concern had been that it would be zoned multiple family and/or co�rcial and would drastically reduce the monetary investm�nts we homeawners have made in our homes and those of our adjacent friends and neighbors in Oak Creek and Creekwood. As you already ]maw, we have individually and collectively expressed these sentitrients to the Grapevine City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission and to individuals of both. We now ask the Grapevine City Council to accept these zoning changes mentioned above as soon as possible. We are planning to attend and support the Ordinance zoning changes at the upcoming meetings of the Council. �""'� � ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i�,,,ai CONSIDII�ATION OF � MINUTES The next order of business was for the City Council to consider the minutes of November 16, 1982.
