WELCOME & INTRODUCTION Mayor Tate welcomed those in attendance, introduced the members of the Planning & Zoning Commission and explained the procedure for the Public Hearing. PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING APPLICATION Z80-13 , DAVID SPALDING The first order of business was for the City Council and Planning � � & Zoning Commission to conduct a Public Hearing relative to Zoning Application Z80-13 submitted by David Spalding. Mayor Tate declared the Public Hearing open and called upon the �"' City Secretary to explain the application. Mrs. Armstrong noted that the property in question was Twin Creek Cove Subdivision located (generally) on the South side of Timber- line Drive near Creekwood Estates . She added that the current zoning was "R-1" Single Family with the requested zoning being for "SP" Specific Use Permit District Zoning incidental to the construction of Attached Single Family Dwellings providing for compliance with all "R-2" Two Family Dwelling construction 03/18/80 requirements except as modified within the amendment ordinance, ' and in accordance with a site plan to be attached to the ordinance. Mr. Robert Power, attorney representing the applicant was then introduced. Mr. Power stated that the requested zoning was the intent and desire of the applicant at the time of filing because he then had a contract for the purpose of selling the property for the specifically described use. He added, that in the interim time, the purchasers had advised that they would be unable to complete the contract. He therefore requested that the appli- ,� cation be withdrawn to allow Mr. Spalding time to determine the type zoning needed for consideration at a later date. There being no discussion, the City Attorney advised that the � Council action necessary was to consider the request for withdrawal. Planning & Zoning Commission Member Harlen Joyce made a motion to accept the request of the applicant and withdraw the appli- cation. The motion was seconded by Vice-Chairman Burgess and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Rogers , Burgess, Spencer, Joyce, Sands and Cook Nays : None Councilman Mullendore then made a motion to accept the applicants request to withdraw the application and to accept the action of the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Gary Blankenship . Mayor Tate declared the Public Hearing open and called upon the City Secretary to explain the application. Mrs . Armstrong advised that the property in question was 1.468 acres located near the southeast corner of Tanglewood and Mustang Drive (lots 1-7 Clear Meadow Estates) . She further noted that the present zoning was "C-2" Community Business Dis- trict with the requested zoning being "R-2" Two Family Dwelling District, or in the alternative any higher zoning that is more restrictive by use or restrictions . Property owner, Mr. John R. McDearman made a short presentation advising the Council and Planning & Zoning Commission of the proposed lot sizes within the subdivision to be considered in the form of a plat later in the meeting. Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission questioned Mr. McDearman relative to the proposed type of construction. He advised that plans were not complete at the present time, other '""*� than that duplex structures would be built. Applicant, Gary Blankenship addressed the Council and Planning ,� & Zoning Commission and noted that his initial plans included building nothing less than two-bedroom, two bath units with a minimum of 2300 square feet, seventy-five percent brick, with the possibility of some stucco. He added that the selling price of the units would be approximately $100, 000 featuring cathedral ceilings and sunken floors . 03/18/80 There being no further discussion from the Council or Commission, Mayor Tate asked if there were guests present to speak for or against the application. Mr. Dennis McGrath, 2905 Cresthaven advised that he was not opposed to the requested zoning, but asked that structures be built that would be compatable with the neighboring single ,,�, family residences . He then asked that the Council also take into consideration down zoning the adjacent property on the north from "C-2" to "R-2" . �"' There being no further discussion, Vice-Chairman Jerry Burgess made a motion to close the Planning & Zoning Commission' s portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Ron Cook and prevailed by the following vote : Ayes : Rogers , Sands, Cook, Joyce, Spencer and Burgess Nays : None Councilman Ware then made a motion to close the Council ' s portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Florence and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Florence, Oliver, Shafer, Dunn, Mullendore and Ware Nays : None PUBLIC HEARING, ZONING APPLICATION Z80-11, HARPER CONSTRUCTION The next order of business was for the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission to conduct a Public Hearing relative to Zoning Application Z80-11 submitted by Harper Construction Company. � Mayor Tate declared the Public Hearing open and called upon 3 Mrs . Armstrong to explain the application. "�` The City Secretary advised that the property in question contained slightly in excess of four acres and was located on the west side of Dove Road adjacent to and North of, South Shore Acres Sub- division. She added that the present zoning was "R-1" Single Family with the requested zoning being for "R-2" Two Family Dwelling, or in the alternative any higher zoning that is more restrictive by use or restrictions . Mr. Eddie Cheatham then made a presentation on behalf of the applicant and provided the Council and Commission with proposed construction plans . He noted that Hampton Road Subdivision was planned for single family attached, owner occupied dwellings . He added that there would be fifteen lots , with thirty units constructed. The City Attorney advised that if the thirty units were to be sold individually, a replat would be necessary after construction to subdivide the area into thirty lots . Following a short discussion, Mayor Tate asked if there were guests present to speak for or against the application. Mr. Jim Lorkowski, 930 Harbor Drive, commented relative to a +�"` petition of opposition, that had been submitted to the City Secretary, and noted opposition to the requested zoning primarily because of the close proximity to the single family area, the � high elevation of the proposed property overlooking the existing subdivision, high density, and the increased possibility of rental property. Mr. Leslie Smith, 942 Harbor, addressed the Council and advised that he preferred the property to remain single family zoning. 03/18/80 The City Secretary then advised that she was in receipt of a petition of opposition containing fifty-four signa- tures . She advised that there were twenty property owners within two-hundred feet of the property in question, with fourteen of those lots represented in opposition. She then read the caption of the petition as follows : We, the undersigned, residents of the homes adjoining the property described in Zoning ""'�'' Application Z80-11, filed by Harper Cons- truction Company seek=ing a change from "R-1" to "R-2" , request that that area remain zoned a Single Family Dwelling District. We are firml a ainst chan in the zonin in our area ecause we ee : (1) Higher population density would increase crime, noise, and traffic. (2) Multifamily dwellings , including duplexes would increase the number of rental properties in the neighbor- hood and decrease the stability and the average level of maintenance of the neighborhood. ------------------------------------------------------- The City Secretary further advised that she was in receipt of one letter of opposition which was read into the record as follows : 930 Harber Ave. ,,,� Grapevine, Texas 76051 March 7 , 1980 � � � Sir . Before we bought our home we checked that all the land around not already covered by single family houses was at least zoned for single family homes. This is important to us because we feel : (1) there is less crime in such a neighborhood, (2) low population density gives a quieter, cleaner neighborhood, and (3) home owners take better care of the property than renters . Changing the zoning of the land next to us , as requested in Zoning Application Z80-11, could make our home less desirable and inflict an economic loss if we sell. The homes bordering this land are not small homes , not on small lots , and are not compatable with a much higher popu- lation density area. � This neighborhood can stand no more multi- family areas . There are already many units one-half mile away. Dove Road is already too busy. It serves our area and the large complex `�' down the road and also serves as access to Grape- vine Lake. The Oak Grove Marina and the city park and ball fields . More multifamily units , connecting o.�_nl.�� to Dove Road would increase traffic much more than single family units similar to those adjoining the property. Sincerely, James Lorkowski Gay Lorkowski ------------------------------------------------------ 03/18/80 There being little other discussion, Planning & Zoning Commission Member Harlen Joyce made a motion to close their portion of the Public Hearing.

Daniel Addition. She added that the present zoning was "R-1" Single Family Dwelling with the re- quested zoning being "C-1" Neighborhood Business District. Mr. Mike Davis addressed the Council and Planning & Zoning Commission advising that he and Mr. Roy Stewart had recently purchased the property in south of 1020 South Main, for the purpose of constructing an office building. He advised that s ; the lot being rezoned was needed for additional parking and � to provide for the convenience of a drive thru window for a prospective tenant.

She added that the requested zoning was for a "SP" Specific Use ,� Permit for the storage, retail sale, and on premise consumption of alcoholic beverages incidental to the operation of a restaurant, further providing for specialty shops and agencies as permitted in the "C-2" Community Business District in accordance with a site plan to be attached to the amendment ordinance. Mr. Scott Tarwater then addressed the Council noting that he represented a partnership consisting of Mr. Bill Hudson, Mr. Phil Parker, Mr. Randy Jordan, and himself. He then provided architectural and decorative information relative to the remodeling of the building and outlined his proposed plan of operation. There being little discussion from the Planning & Zoning Commission or the Council, Mayor Tate asked if there were guests present to speak for or against the application.

For the past several years since Mr. Smith has owned the property, he has made no attempt to clean up , improve, or even remove junk from the premises . Weeds 03/18/80 ' have been allowed to grow and an old laundry building which should have been torn down has been allowed to deteriorate. Generally the vacant lot has been used to park heavy equipment and as a dump ground for different kinds of rock. If Mr. Smith wishes to put up a building, I believe it should be a new permanent building that meets city requirements . ,,,,.,� H.E. Thomas 211 East Wall Street Grapevine, Texas �"°" Enc.

He then reviewed the information provided by Librarian Janis Roberson. Mr. Hancock further advised that it was the recommendation of the City Staff and the Grapevine � Library Board that the additional employee be approved. Councilman Dunn, Chairman of the Personnel Committee stated that they had reviewed the material submitted, and based upon the facts the Staff and the Library Board had recommended approval, and since there had been a significant increase in the use of the Library, it was the recommendation of the Personnel Committee that the additional staff inember be approved. 03/18/80 Councilman Mullendore then made a motion that the recommendation of the Personnel Committee, Library Board and City Staff be accepted and that the employment of an additional Library employee be authorized.

He added that the pool would also be open on Labor Day, which would be the last day of the season. Mr. Conklin sited reasons for his request as being lack of employees near the end of the season and low pool attendance. Following a short discussion, Councilman Mullendore made a motion to accept the recommendation of the City Staff and Park & Recreation Board and approve the 1980 Swimming Pool Schedule as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ware and pre- vailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Florence, Oliver, Dunn, Shafer, Mullendore and Ware Nays : None � �+ ATHLETIC FIELD RENTAL FEES The next order of business was for the City Council to consider the recommendation of the Park & Recreation Board concerning Athletic Field Rental Fees . Park & Recreation Director, Kevin Conklin reported that the City Staff and Park & Recreation Board were recommending the establishment of a reservation fee for lighted athletic fields , for practice sessions only, of $3. 00 per hour and added that the fields could be reserved by any team that was in a City League. He then provided a survey of area City' s reservation fees . Mr. Conklin sited reasons as being rising utility costs , costs of field and facility maintenance and repair, and more organized control over the reservation of the fields . Councilman Dunn expressed concern that he did not feel there was a financial burden in regard to the City Budget and commented that there were only four lighted fields within the City. He added that he felt taxes were being paid to provide the fields and he did not feel justified in approving the fee. '� Councilman Oliver suggested that a flat fee be added to the registration fee rather than paying for each time the fields � were reserved. Mr. Conklin stated that there are numerous teams that did not practice enough to warrant additional registration costs . Following a lengthy discussion, Councilman Mullendore made a motion to accept the recommendation of the City Staff and Park & Recreation Board and authorize the Park & Recreation Department to institute a $3. 00 per hour fee for practice time beginning at their discretion. The motion was seconded 03/18/80 I�i� by Councilman Ware and prevailed as follows : I Ayes : Tate, Florence, Oliver, Ware & Mullendore Nays : Shafer and Dunn RESOLUTION - AMENDING TAX ROLL The next order of business was for the City Council to consider a resolution amending the adopted Tax Roll for the Fiscal Year. � The City Manager advised the Council that periodically through- out the year, amendments would be made to the Tax Roll.

Councilman Oliver made a motion to accept the recommendation of the City Manager and table consideration of the item. The motion was seconded by Councilman Shafer and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Florence, Oliver, Ware, Mullendore, Shafer & Dunn Nays : None ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, BUILDING CODE CONFLICTING The next order of business was for the City Council to consider an ordinance amending Section 2, Chapter 7 , of the Grapevine City Code relating to Building Code conflicts with other regu- lations . City Engineer, Jim Baddaker reported that in accordance with the ,,,,,,,�,, present ordinance, whenever a conflict in the language or interpretation of the Building Code, and any other related ordinance exists , the Building Code always take precedence. He added that the amendment ordinance would provide that the more restrictive language or interpretation prevail.

He added that the vote was unanimous . The City Secretary then read the caption of the proposed ordinance accordingly. Councilman Mullendore asked if the recommendation met the approval of the applicant. � Mr. John McDearman, owner of the property, stated that he pur- chased the property in question several years ago as a commercial / tract of land. He added that he had requested the down zoning l � to "R-2" because he felt the area needed a buffer between the commercial property and the neighboring single family area. He added that he would be willing to reduce the zoning from "C-2" to "R-2" , and to comply with the zoning ordinances of the City of Grapevine. He added, in view of the fact that the property was under contract of sale, and not yet closed, he did not feel pre- pared to place restrictions on the property beyond accepting an ordinance of "R-2" Zoning. Councilman Dunn expressed concern that the Planning & Zoning Commission had, during their last meeting, recommended an increase in the Multi-Family Minimum Floor Area Requirements , which the Council accepted, yet were in this case recommending a higher floor area than recently approved. Mr. Blankenship stated that as prospective purchaser of the property, he had no objections to the restrictions as stated. He added, however, that he felt the question of agreement with the restrictions should be addressed to the present property owner. � Mayor Tate asked Mr. McDearman if the need for the Zoning Application came about as a result of a contract of sale with Mr. Blankenship.
