_
Mr. Savage then came forward and advised that Mr. Ernest
'� Dean, Executive Director of Dallas/Fort Worth Regional
r Airport had asked him to appear before the Council and
Planning & Zoning Commission and go on record as stating
� that D/FW Airport opposed the requested zoning. He added
that it was the practice of the Airport to strictly prohibit
any advertising signs within their boundaries for the purpose
, of providing a more scenic atmosphere. Mr. Savage noted
that two such signs had already been constructed within
airport boundaries in the City of Coppell , but that action
was being taken to have them removed.
Mayor Tate then asked if Mr. Keeshin would like to make a
� reply to the comments made by Mr. Savage. Mr. Keeshin stated
that he felt their request unique in that they were dealing
with a right-of-way situation and were not asking permission
, to have property rezoned for the purpose of placing signs on
airport property.
Both Mr. Sava e and Mr. Keeshin ex ressed a desire of
g P
cooperation.
' City Attorney John Boyle asked Mr. Savage if the D/FW Airport
' owned the underlying fee of the property in question. Mr.
' Savage advised that Mr. Wells , Airport Attorney, had not had
the time to research that question, but that it may be
necessary to investigate the title held by the railroad.
Mr. Boyle then stated that it appeared both the applicant
and the Airport were in agreement that D/FW Rules & Regulations
' - would be applicable relative to the requirement of obtaining
an additional permit from D/FW Board. Mr. Savage advised that
if such an application were made to the Airport Board, , it would
be denied. He stated, however, that the legality may be such
that a permit is not required.
There being no further comments , Planning & Zoning Commissioner
� Bob Stewart made a motion to reclose their portion of the
' Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Robert Sands
and prevailed by the following vote :
Ayes : Rogers , Stewart , Joyce , Cook, Spencer & Sands

Commission and City Council to consider
amending the basic zoning ordinance by
eliminating multi-family construction

�
f
�
�
City Engineer, Jim Baddaker explained the proposed �
e
amendment in detail as well as problems associated �
with the existing ordinance.
�
Planning & Zoning Member Bob Stewart asked if a change �
of that nature would in effect be "back zoning"? The Y
City Attorney answered that it would be a reduction of a
principle use of the zoning categories , and added that it '
was permissable to alter the requirements and restrictions �
within various categories . ;
�
Member Harlen Joyce asked if the change would effect 4
�
projects already under construction. Mr. Baddaker answered '
that it would not effect those projects where building !
permits were taken out prior to the effective date of the i
amendment ordinance. �
�
Mayor Tate asked if there were guests present to speak for �
or against the application. Mrs . Frank Pilney asked if �
the proposed change meant that if the property was located �
in a residential area, apartments coul.d be built. Mayor �
Tate answered no , and explained the meaning of the proposed €
change.
�
The City Secretary then advised that she was in receipt of �
a letter of opposition to the amendment. She then read the �
following letter into the record: '

Re : Approximately 2 . 76Q2 Acres , located at the �
Southeast Corner of Mustang Road and the
proposed extension of Tanglewood Drive in �
Grapevine , Texas . �
t
Dear Mrs . Armstrong and Members of the Council : �
I purchased the above described property from Lomas �
& Nettleton Financial Corporation in December o� 1978 .
Prior to my acquisition of the property, I visited
with the City of Grapevine and it �tas con�irmed to
me that the property was zoned C-2 (Community Business) . `
I was informed that this zoning provided �or several �
various commercial uses that my needs required, but
also had the ability to be used for multi-�amily �
purposes . The property was larger than my needs at
that particular time but because of the capability
of a multi-use, I moved forward and purchased the
property. Since that time , I have marketed the €
property on a basis of a commercial use for that 4
frontage on Mustang Road and a multi-�amily or
duplex use for that portion of the property fronting 4
on the proposed Tanglewood Drive extension. �

, 07/17/79
In the telephone conversation with Mr . Jim
Baddaker, City of Engineer of Grapevine , on
Monday, July 9 , I learned that there was a
. proposed Change in Use , of the present C-2
zoning classification to go before the Council
on July 17 , 1979 that would prohibit multi-
family or duplex use. As I mentioned to you
previously, I purchased the property upon the
verification for the City that it had multiple
; uses under its C-2 zoning classification.
I feel there are many investors that have �
purchased property based upon the same type :
of criteria which my decision was made. To
change the zoning classification for new
commercial property is one thing, but to
re-classify property bought under the existing
C-2 ordinance would be unjustifiable to the
present owner. I therefore request that I
be noted as being in opposition to the new
C-2 proposal. I would appreciate consideration
of the Council in this matter.
Yours truly,

/ Item Two (2) - City Council and Pl.anning &
Zoning Commission to consider amending the
accessory building setback requirements in
the "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District.
Mr. Baddaker explained that the recommendati.on of the City
Staff was to permit one story accessory structures within
six (6) feet of the rear property 1ine. He �urther suggested
that any structure above one story be setback one (1) �oot
for each foot of height above one (1� story to a maximum
setback of twenty-five teet .
There was no discussion from the Planning & Zoning Commission
or Council.
Mayor Tate asked if there were any guests present to speak
for or against the proposed amendment . There were none.
Item Three (3) - City Council and Planning
& Zoning Commission to consider an amendment
that would allow the City Council the ability
to require screening and to increase setbacks
*� without the necessity of a site plan category.
The City Engineer , Mr. Baddaker , explained that the present
ordinance does not allow the City Council to increase
setbacks or require screening on a case by case basis . He
added that an ordinance permitting additional requirements
of this nature would allow the Council to have the flexibility
to require additional setbacks and/or screening in a specific
instance where the proposed zone district requirements are
not restrictive enough to protect adjacent land owners . He
also suggested that the Planning & Zoning Commission should
be permitted to recommend additional setbacks or screening when
considering specific zoning changes .

CITIZENS REQUEST AND/OR MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS �
Retail Merchants Situation �
Mr. Eddie Windom, representing Retail Merchants Association r
appeared before the Council and requested that Barton and �
Jenkins Streets be made one way to help alleviate traffic E
on Main Street. The group also suggested that the City ;
consider moving the fence back around the downtown water
tower to provide some additional parking space. #
�
Following Mr. Windom' s presentation Mayor Tate commented �
that although the one way street suggestion may solve some
problem, it would also create others . He suggested that one =
of the only other alternatives would be for the downtown �
merchants to consider a joint venture in purchasing property �
for parking purposes . �

' In regard to relocating the fence around the Barton Street
Water Tower , the City Manager advised that he would have
to discuss the matter with the State Health Department since
their agency had required the fence at the original time of
; the water tower construction.
' Mayor Tate then instructed the City Engineer and other staff
members to meet with Mr. Windom in an effort to assist the
downtown merchants .
� Mr. Windom then officially filed a petition with the City
Secretary in regard to the above mentioned matter.
Doyle Jordan Drainage Problem
�
, Mayor Tate then asked if Councilman Mullendore had a report
1 relative to Mr. Jordan' s drainage problem which was discussed
; during the Council Meeting of July 3rd, 1979 .
i
Councilman Mullendore advised that he had investigated the
situation and had filed a report with the City Staff. He
further noted, that based on his statements , the staff was
� preparing to draft a letter taking care of the matter.
+ He added that his investigation revealed that a drainage
� easement had been violated by a number of the property
, owners in the area. He continued to say that numerous ;
, fences would have to be removed before the drainage area
could be cleaned and made effective.
The City Manager advised that the City Engineer would have
to draft a letter to all property owners in violation of
, ,,� the easement right-of-way and that they would need to be
given a reasonable length of time to move their fences .
�I Mr. Hancock further noted that one-hundred percent cooperation
was not expected.
