�4 GRAPEVINE/COLLEYVILLE BOUNDARY, DISANNEXATION ORDINANCE
The first order of business was for the City Council to consider
an ordinance in relation to the City of Grapevine/City of Colley-
ville Boundary Contract relating to the disannexation of specified
property.
The City Secretary read the caption of the ordinance and stated
that it had been prepared for consideration on First Reading.
�,,a.
City Manager , Jim Hancock gave a brief history of the events
leading to consideration of the proposed ordinance.
��
Councilman Dunn, Chairman of the Boundary Committee advised that
it was the recommendation of the Committee that the proposed
ordinance be adopted.
John Boyle, City Attorney noted that upon final reading of the
disannexation ordinance, by both cities , they would then go
forward under the Municipal Annexation Act to annex the particular �
properties that had been disannexed. He noted that a public
hearing would be required at that time.
02/05/80
Mayor Tate then asked if the City Secretary had any citizen' s
requests relating to the matter. She answered "yes" , and
read the foll�wing letter into the record:
February 5 , 1980
Mayor and
City Council ,�
City of Grapevine, Texas
In reference to the boundary between the City of
Grapevine and the City of Colleyville, Texas .
We object to being traded from Grapevine to
Colleyville. Our property is in the Elizabeth
Cox Survey between Highway 157 and Sparger Road
and we were annexed over ten years ago into The
City of Grapevine, Texas . We also have paid taxes
to the City of Grapevine for the past ten years
and we wish to remain in the City of Grapevine .
The Government and Cities are supposed to repre-
sent the desires of the people and we da not
believe we have been represented fairly according
to the boundary agreement. We were not even in-
formed of this agreement until it was already in
progress and we had to read about it in the Banner
Newspaper.
If the City of Grapevine really wants to settle the
boundary line between Grapevine and Colleyville �w
the only logical suggestion would be to annex the
land on the east side of Roberts Road into the City �
� of Grapevine. "�
If you will notice on the petition that was presented
to the City Council on March 2nd and March 3rd of
1979 the land owners on Roberts Road checked that
they preferred to be annexed into the City of Grapevine
and not Colleyville.
Would you please reconsider the boundary lines again?
Also if you will notice on your proposed boundary there
are no roads through the boundary line which would make
it unaccessible for the police to patrol the area.
Yours truly,
Robert A. McKown
Frances McKown
Mr. Jesse Woods , 2746 Manchester, then addressed the Council
and expressed concern for those citizens being disannexed into
Colleyville who were desirous of remaining in Grapevine. He �.
stated that although he understood the legality of not being
required to conduct a public hearing concerning disannexation,
he felt the citizens of that area were being done a grave �u�
injustice. He further noted that he felt the property Grape-
vine was giving up to Colleyville was extremely valuable
commercial property and noted that through taxes , other
Grapevine citizens would have to subsidize that loss . He
then appealed to the Council to vote against the proposed
disannexation ordinance.
02/05/80
Mr. James E. Anthony, property owner in the area being considered
for disannexation, voiced concern relative to the zoning status
of property once disannexed into the City of Colleyville. He
added that he would have preferred a choice relative to the city
into which he was being annexed.
Mayor Tate advised those in attendance that it was not the desire
of the City of Grapevine to disannex anyone, especially those
wanting to remain in the City. He then explained in detail some
of the problems encountered in arriving at a decision and stated
that he could not adequately explain the necessity of the City
of Grapevine and other cities to solidify their boundaries based
"`�' upon the present state of the law.
Councilman Mullendore expressed sincere concern for those citizens
wanting to remain in the City of Grapevine. He then asked for
clarification from the City Attorney as to the Council ' s obli-
gation as it related to the boundary agreement contract pre-
viously entered into with the City of Colleyville.
Councilman Dunn responded, in answer to the zoning question
raised by Mr. Anthony, that the two committees agreed the
existing zoning of the properties would enter into the comparable
zoning category of the annexing city. He added that in one
instance, concerning a specific use permit for alcoholic beverages ,
that Colleyville did not have a permit for alcoholic beverages ,
that Colleyville did not have a corresponding category, therefore,
that property would become a non-conforming use in the City of
Colleyville. _
In further clarification, the City Attorney explained that any
use, regardless of the city in which it would be, would enter
the City as a legal non-conforming use. He added that normally,
�"~ upon initial annexation, property assumes its highest residential
3 category as agricultural use, and is looked upon as a temporary
;� zoning . He added that the only way property could be rezoned
would be to follow the state statute under rezoning. He added,
therefore, that the two cities could not contractually rezone
property. He did note, however, that both municipalities could
start the zoning process to coincide with the final passage of
the annexation ordinance.
Councilman Dunn responded to the question of not having a public
hearing for disannexation consideration by stating that the purpose
of a public hearing, whether required or not, was to receive input
from the citizens . He added that on numerous occasions throughout
the deliberations , citizens had been given an opportunity to voice
their concerns . He noted too, in answer to a previous statement
concerning the value of the land in question, that the greatest
value of the exchange was not the value of the property, but the
fact that the City of Grapevine would have a legal boundary, which
is , without question, an essential matter.
There being no further discussion, Councilman Dunn made a motion
to approve the ordinance on first reading. The motion was duly
seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Florence and prevailed by the following
vote :
���r
Ayes : Tate, Florence, Oliver, Dunn, Shafer , Mullendore and Ware
Nays : None

PUBLIC HEARING - TEXAS POWER & LIGHT RATE INCREASE �,
The next order of business was for the City Council to conduct
a public hearing relative to the rate increase as requested
by Texas Power and Light Company.
Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Mike McKinney, Manager, Texas Power & Light Company,
addressed the Council and outlined the texas of the request
and the relating justifications .
There being no questions from the Council, Mayor Tate asked
if there were guests present who wished to speak in regard
to the requested rate increase.
Mr. J. J. Remelius , 404 Bluebonnet, Grapevine, and numerous
other unidentified citizens asked questions of Mr. McKinney.
The City Attorney noted that the City was participating in a
rate study through the Texas Municipal League and that periodic
reports would be forthcoming. He added that input would be
prepared for the hearing before the Public Utility Commission.
There being little other discussion, Councilman Mullendore �
then made a motion, duly seconded by Councilman Shafer , to �
close the public hearing . The motion prevailed by the �
following vote : �.,�r
Ayes : Tate, Florence, Oliver, Dunn, Shafer, Mullendore and Ware
Nays : None
CITIZENS REQUEST
Oak Creek Petition - On Timberline Zoning
The next order of business was for a representative of Oak Creek
Estates to present a petition in regard to the zoning along
Timberline.
Mr. Steve Franks addressed the Council on behalf of the Oak Creek
Homeowners Association. He explained that his purpose before the
Council was to present a petition protesting the present zoning
along the Timberline Road area. He then gave a brief history of
the events leading to the submission of the petition. Mr. Franks
noted that the petition had been signed by more than three hundred
persons . The petition caption was then read into the record
as follows :
"We, the homeowners and residents of Oak Creek Estates , '�"
Grapevine, Texas and executors of this petition, are
strongly opposed to the proposed construction of
additional apartments on Timberline Road. We hereby �"'°��`
petition the City Council of Grapevine to instruct the
City Staff to instigate a public hearing on the zoning
of the entire Timberline Road area so that residents
of the area may express their views to the zoning
commission. "
The original petition was then presented to the City Secretary,
02/05/80
Mayor Tate commented that the Planning & Zoning Commission had
been making a study for the past several weeks relative to the
zoning and the uses along Timberline and that a public hearing
was scheduled on February 19, 1980 concerning primarily those
areas with zoning conflicting with the uses in platted sub-
divisions . He further advised that other zoning cases were
contemplated after that date relative to other tracts of land
�.:: in the same area.
Upon the request of the Mayor, City Attorney John Boyle ex-
plained the City' s legal position in regard to the upcoming
zoning cases .
Councilman Mullendore asked if a time limit had been placed on
the moratorium relative to multi-family building permits in
the Timberline area. A definite time period had not been
determined, but the City Attorney answered that the moratorium
could remain in effect during the reasonable length of time in
which the zoning cases were being considered.
Mr. Franks expressed concern that a date had not yet been set
for a Public Hearing to consider the unplatted areas in the
Timberline area.
Planning & Zoning Commission Chairman, Duane Rogers responded by
advising that the Commission was in the process of studying the
areas in question and that a recommendation to the Council would
not be forthcoming until zoning decisions had been made on
February 19 , 1980 relative to the platted areas .
An unidentified citizen asked if there was an error on the
Zoning Map, how would proper zoning be determined.
��w
5 Mayor Tate answered that the zoning was established by ordinance
and not by the zoning map. The Mayor then stressed to those
'�� present that the area near the east end of Timberline, where
numerous apartments were being built, has not been in error on
the zoning map.
An unidentified citizen asked for clarification of the events
that would take place during the next thirty days . He added
that not only was there concern about zoning , but also about a ,
request to revoke building permits issued relative to the apart-
ment construction on Timberline.
Mayor Tate noted that the building permit referred to had been
issued in early December, 1979 and called upon the City Attorney
to explain the City' s legal position.
Attorney Boyle noted that it was his judgement that the City could
not revoke the permit unless the permit expired of its own volition
or if it was taken out not in conformity with the law as it existed
at that time. He added that information provided him by the City
Staff indicated that the permit does conform with the law of the
City of Grapevine.
�.� •, Upon the request of a citizen, Mayor Tate advised that the City
Staff would again review the status of the building permit issued
in an effort to make certain that the City had no legal alternative.
PETITION - THE VINEYARD - TIMBERLINE ZONING
The next order of business was for a representative of The Vineyard
to present a petition in regard to the zoning along Timberline.
02/05/80
Mr. Don Bigbee, ��4 Windy Knoll, addressed the Council and
advised that the residents of The Vineyard were concerned for
the continued development of Grapevine, not just along Timberline,
but the entire City, in a manner consistent and compatable with
existing residential land use in an orderly and safe fashion.
He added that these citizens wished to see overall developments
which would foster and accrue assets to the City instead of long
time liabilities . Mr. Bigbee continued to say that it was their
desire to see the voices of the citizens of the Grapevine ,,,,�,�
community represented through the Council ' s positive actions .
He asked that the exploitation of developers , who were not
residents of Grapevine be brought to an end.
��
Mr. Bigbee then read into the record the caption of the petition
as follows :
We, the homeowners and residents of The Vineyard,
Grapevine, Texas , formally organized as the Vine-
yard Homeowners Association, and executors of
this document, do hereby petition the City Council
of the City of Grapevine, Tarrant County, Texas ,
to instruct the City Staff of Grapevine, Tarrant
County, Texas to extend the current moratorium placed
on the issuance of all building permits , other than
single family dwellings , along Timberline Drive
from State Highway 157 on the east end of Timberline
Drive to Mustang Drive on the north end of Timberline
Drive. We ask through the use of this petition that
the moratorium remain in effect until a final hearing
by the City Council on the current Timberline Drive
rezoning study being conducted by the Planning &
Zoning Commission for the City of Grapevine, Tarrant
County, Texas at the instruction of the City Council
during its January 8, 1980 regular Council meeting. *� �
Secondly, we hereby petition the City Council to
act with , speed in its decision on the re-zoning '"�`
case along Timberline, as submitted by the Oak
Creek Homeowners Association, and, therefore,
formally request a final decision be made prior
to the deadline for City Council candidate filing
of March 5th.
Mr. Bigbee then thanked each member of the Council, Planning
& Zoning Commission and City Staff for patience and cooperation
during the pursuit of this matter. He then offered their
assistance should the Coundil deem it in the best interest of
the City. The petition was formally presented to the City
Secretary.
Mayor Tate responded by noting that proposition number one was
already in effect and that there was no attempt to defer the
consideration of the matter past the filing date. He added
that a recommendation would come from the Planning & Zoning
commission before the Council could act and that he would
hope they would be able to respond prior to March Sth. Mayor
Tate then thanked those in attendance for their courtesy and
invited them to attend the Public Hearing on February 19 , 1980. �
In clarification, Councilman Dunn asked what constituted
"beginning construction" with regard to the building permit ��,.�
issued for the second phase of the proposed apartments on
Timberline. City Attorney John Boyle responded by saying
it was the issuance of the permit as far as being a vested
right. He added that the permit itself would expire if something
visible had not been done pursuant to construction.
02/05/80
Councilman Dunn advised that during a previous Council meeting,
at which minimum square footage for apartment construction was
discussed, there was an indication that Phase II of the apart-
ments on the east end of Timberline would have to comply with the
new square footage requirements had construction not begun.
Councilman Oliver expressed the same concern as Councilman Dunn.
City Attorney John Boyle stated that he did not recall responding
that it would ,be construction as opposed to permit.
"'�'"' Mayor Tate at that point indicated that a letter had been sub-
mitted which needed to be read into the record by the City
Secretary as follows :
February 5, 1980
Gr.apevine City Council
City of Grapevine
C/0 Shirley Armstrong
Ref: Rezoning of Timberline Road
TO THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE :
I would like to inform the Grapevine City Council
that I am very much in favor of rezoning the property
along both sides of Timberline from Multi-family and
commercial usage to some form or more restrictive
zoning. I personally would prefer to see the zoning
allow for single family residences or the usage of
�-- top quality duplexes with a 1500 square foot minimum
per unit requirement. The usage of this type of
7 ' zoning would prevent the encroachment of "Cheap"
� apartment complexes as has now been started on the
eastern end of Timberline.
At first I was not totally opposed to apartments on
Timberline and was under the impression that our City
Government would not allow for "Low Quality, Low
Rent" apartments to be built next to an established
neighborhood such as Oak Creek. However, since these
types of apartments� are now under construction I
would like to see that no more are started and
that our property devaluation be minimized by the
discontinuing of such building projects in our
area. Our Oak Creek addition is too valuable to
be ruined by hasty city planning that would allow
for just "Any type of Multi-Family Dwelling" to be
built at random along Timberline. Your assistance
in the rezoning of Timberline is therefore requested.
Thank you for your consideration.
����. � Stan Price �

The Council then recessed for a short period of time before
reconvening in the Council Chambers with all members re-
turning prior to any formal action.
