Z79-1 The first order of business was for the City Council & Planning & Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing relative to Zoning Applica- tion No. Z79-1 submitted by James K. Buckner. Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open. The City Secretary explained that because of the illness of the applicant and a death in the property owner' s immediate family, a request had been submitted to postpone the public hearing until February 20th. Member Harlen Joyce made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Commis- sion table the public hearing until February 2�th. The motion was seconded by Member Bob Stewart and prevailed by the follcwing vote : Ayes : Ware, Joyce, Burgess , Stewart, Rogers , and Sands Nays : None Councilman Gideon then made a motion that the Council continue the public hearing on February 20th. ,The motion was seconded by Council- man Florence and prevailed by the following vote : Ayes : Tate, Gideon, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Shafer, and Dunn Nays : None � PUBLIC H�ARING - ZON�NG ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS O1/16/79 The next order of business was for the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing relative to amending the zoning ordinance on parking requirements in multi-family dwelling districts. Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open. City Engineer Jim Baddaker advised that the city ordinance presently required one and one half (12) parking spaces per unit . He added that after conducting a survey of area cities he recommended amending the ordinance to require one parking space per 400 square feet Qf gross floor area or 22 parki.ng spaces per unit whichever was greater. �-, Mr. Baddaker further reconunended that all parking spaces be 9 ft. by 20 ft. and striped at the rear and sides ; that double tier lots have a minimum driving lane of 25 ft. with a 25 ft radius on the corners ; � and that a 15 ft. driveway be required for single tier, one way angle parking. Fire Marshall Bill Powers then advised the Council of rescue problems incurred as a result of improper parking. Mayor Tate as�.ed if there were guests present to speak in regard to parking requirements . Mr. Millard Di1g stated that too rigid require- ments might discourage developers from building multi-family facilities . There was little discussion from the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Council. Mr. Baddaker then discussed amending the zoning ordinance relative to minimum lot widths on cul-de-sacs . He advised that under present conditions it was c�ifficvlt to build a house on a cul-de-sac lot without violating setback requirements . He stated that it was the City Staff' s recommendation that a minimum lot width of 65 feet be established at the building line on cul-de-sac lots . Mr. Baddaker explained that the proper building lines would be determined in the following manner: �., �� The front building line is to be determined by establishing a thirty (30) foot setback from the front property pins on the property or lot lines . A chord connecting these two points shall be the front building 1ine. Where a front property line has a curved section and a straight section, the front building line shall be dete'rmined by establishing a thirty (30) foot set- back on the property lines from the front property pins . A line perpendicular to the straight section wi11 be established at the property pin where the curve begins ; a point will be established on this line thirty (30) feet behind the property pin; the build- ing line will be established by connecting these points . , There was no discussion from the Council or the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. 0. L. Michaels , developer, stated that if approved, the me�hod recommended by Mr. Baddaker would be of great benefit to builders . Next, a discussion was held reiative to amending the zoning ordinance relative to sign height restrictions . Mr . Baddaker advised that the present ordinance allows a maximum height of fifty (50) feet on all signs within the City. He added that in reviewing the airport zone restrictions , there was only one acre where a 80 foot or 90 foot sign would conflict with airport flight pattern restrictions . He recommended that on limited access freeways (114 & 635) the height restrictions be limited by airport flight path restrictions and that all other areas retain the fifty (50) foot maximum height restrictions . Mayor Tate asked if there were guests present to speak in regard to the discussed zoning changes . Mr. Jesse Woods , Grapevine citizen, c,�utioned the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Council about liberizing standards in order to O1/16/79 attract growth, commerce, industry, apartments and other types of , development. He added that a need exists to be concerned with the rate of growth, the ratio of growth and the quality of growth. He then suggested that immediate action be taken to revise the City' s master plan and that the utmost precaution be taken to provide a consensus which we could respect and hold on to for the next five or ten years. There being no further formal discussion, Member Dwayne Rogers made a motion to close the Planning & Zoning Commission' s portion of the public hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Robert Sands and prevailed by the following vote : Ayes : Ware, Sands , Rogers , Stewart, Joyce, and Burgess Nays : None Councilman Oliver then made a motion to close the Council ' s portion of the public hearing, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Dalton and prevailed by the following vote : Ayes : Tate, Florence, Shafer, Gideon, Oliver, Dunn, and Dalton Nays : None REPLAT - CANTERBURY VILLAGE The next order of business was for the Planning & Zoning Commision and the City Council to discuss the replat of Canterbury Village. The City Engineer expalined that the replat proposed would allow for a cul-de-sac to be platted on the north end of Camelot, thereby preventing the extension of Camelot into future subdivision develop- ments . Mr. Richard Eakins submitted a petition containing 42 signatures of persons desiring the praposed cul-de-sac. Mr. Bill Shevelin advised that he was in the process of purchasing the property to the north and requested that a decision on the matter be postponed pending comprehensive planning. Mr. Kenneth Smith, Camelot Street resident, stated that Camelot had not been built to endure hav�ng thru traffic. Mayor Tate stated that access must be provided to developed areas but that he too felt Camelot was not designed to be a major thoroughfare. He suggested that the City Staff research possible thoroughfare loca- tions to provide access to the property in question. City Manager Jim Hancock advised that the City Staff realized the critical situation and that every effort had been made to set aside personalities and to keep in mind solely the overall devel.opment.of the City .of Grapevine, maintaining continuity of streets and promotion of public safety and welfare. He added therefore, that it was the recommendation of the City Staff that the cul-de-sac not be created and the street be allowed to maintain continuity to whatever the future may provide. There being no further discussion, Member Jerry Burgess made a motion to close their portion of the public hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Robert Sands and prevailed by the following vote : Ayes : Ware, Sands , Rogers , Stewart, Joyce, and Burgess Nays : None Councilman Dalton then made a motion to close the Council' s portion of the public hearing.
