constituting a quorum, with
Floy Ezell City Manager

Kenneth Pritt City Secretary
John Boyle City Attorney
Mayor Tate called the meeting to order.
The Invocation was given by Councilman Dunn.
Mayor Tate stated that the first order of business was to consider
zoning application Z-73-14, Love-Henry and Associates requesting a
"Planned Development" on a tract of land adjacent to the Manor Oaks
Addition; presently zoned "R-1" . The Planning & Zoning Commission
has recommended approval. This item has been postponed from November
6, 1973, at the request of the applicant to allow the architect and
planner sufficient time to restudy the site. Property owners within
200 feet have been notified of this meeting. Mayor Tate asked for the
�ity Secretary to give the Council an account of the procedings before
he Planning & Zoning Commission. The Asst. City Manager explained
that no minutes of those procedures were ever recorded by the previous
City Secretary. The Asst. City Manager posted a copy of the "PD" as
it was presented at the previous public hearing. Mayor Tate then
inquired about who was to make the presentation for the applicant.
Mr. Kenneth McWaters came forward and stated his name. Mayor Tate .
then stated that this would not be a rehearing of any previous hearings
but that a summary of that hearing would be in order so as to inform
the new members on the Council and the audience as well. Mr. McWaters
stated that his firm did not represent the applicant at any previous
hearing but that his firm had produced a modified plan of the one that
was posted by the Asst. City Manager. Mayor Tate asked the City Attorney
what should be done about this modified plan since the previous plan
had not been adopted by the City Council. The City Attorney explained
that it was his understanding that a plan was to be presented that was
substantially different from the one presented at the previous hearing.
He further stated that he felt the hearing should be re-advertised and
a public hearing held because of the difference in the plans. He also
stated that the Council had other alternatives: send it back to the
Planning & Zoning Commission to be reheard, also the Council had the
�""� �ability to hear the presentation and make a decision on it. The Asst.
City Manager stated that this meeting was advertised in the paper and
notice was sent to the 200 feet property owners but that referencs was
not made to a public hearing. The Mayor then inquired of the City
Attorney if a public hearing could be held on the grounds of this
; advertising. The City Attorney stated that a public hearing could be �
held on this date or it could be set up for a joint public hearing with
the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. McWaters stated that the requests
for zoning were the same but the location and style of buildings on the
site had been changed. Mayor Tate then asked for Mr. McWaters to show
the Council what the changes were before the Council voted to hold a `
public hearing or send it back to the Planning & Zoning Commission.

While Mr. McWaters prepared his site plans and other visual aids,
Mayor Tate inquired if the Council could go ahead and have their
portion of the Public Hearing and then determine later if they
wanted to send it back to the Planning & Zoning Commission for their
hearing. The City Attorney stated that this would be one possibility.
Mayor Tate then declared open the public hearing on zoning application
Z-73-14 and stated that Mr. McWaters would be allowed to make a full �
presentation and then any members of ths audience could speak or ask ;
any questions. Mr. McWaters presented a revised site plan for the '
property and stated that the zoning requests were still the same - �
;� commercial at the intersection of Northwest Highway and Park Boulevard s
and multi-family on the northern portion of the property. Mr. McWaters "
then described the surrounding property and uses. He then stated that
the object of this particular "PD" was to provide a useful, commercial, �
organized, planned center that would eliminate the pitfalls of strip �?
zoning and spot zoning. He further stated that limited access from
Northwest Highway and controlled access from Park Boulevard would be {
�
available. Mr. McWaters then explained the type of parking which
would be located to the rear of the apartments. He further explained �
that a proposed garden-type office complex would be constructed to
adjoin the property on the east. A 35 foot "no improvements" area
would be provided for the benefit of those property owners on the east.
Also, no doors or exits would be located on the east side of these
commercial buildings with the exception of those required by fire codes.
w
No construction over one story would be allowed within 200 feet of the
east property line. He explained that buildings were turned at an
angle to provide maximum open space, and leave the creek in its existing �
form with addition of pertinent public works. The retail portion of the �
"PD" would be completed in three phases within three years. Mr. McWaters �
;:
stated that he had a letter of intent from two retailers wanting to R;
locate i�n this complex. Park�rig would be at each individual unit (store) �;
rather than a massive parking lot.
Questions were now in order from the City Council: �
Mayor Tate inquired if Mr. McWaters had any drawings that showed the i
g
configuration of the buildings other than what was before the Council.
Mr. McWaters produced a scaled drawing showing the retail buildings
size and design: He further explained that each building could have �
from one to four tenants - depending upon the square footage desired �
by each. Councilman Oliver inquired as to what was located next to �'
Manor Way in the original application. Mr. McWaters stated that a �`
large mall-type building and �large parking lat were next to Manor Way. p
Councilman Oliver then i.nquired about what would be done with any
' litter that flows down the creek. Mr. McWaters stated that the general 4:
maintenance and upkeep of the mall would include the picking up of �
litter. Coun�ilman Dunn inquired about �he number of buildings that �
would be constructed in Phase I. Mr. McWaters referred to a site plan �
showing the first three buildings to be built -during the first 12
months. Mr. Dunn then inquired if the developers would be willing to ;
widen the existing creek so as to hold a larger volume of water during ;
�:
flooding. Mr. McWaters stated that the bottom channel of the creek �
would be aligned so that the creek wouldn' t flood due to the fact ;
that it couldn' t �low properly but that widening the creek would be a �
public works program. He further stated that he had no control over the =
$:
water after it leaves his progerty line. Councilman Murphy inguired
about the possibility of getting the City Engineers involved in
studying this proposal and how it would effect water volume and flow on 4
the property and further points east along the creek. Mayor Tate
stated that a traffic study would also be needed to aid in the consid- �
eration of this application. Mayor Tate then inquired if the "PD" was
only being requested to cover a portion of the property or if some
mialti-family was also being requested. -Mr. McWaters explained that `
z
mul��.�:famil�g, aoning.:was: a-lsa._being.:requ�sted. Mayor Tate then inquired
if �here was any reason that single family dwellings couid be built in
the area where R-3 was being requested. Mr. McWaters stated that the
developers had planned to have three classifications of housing: C-2,
apartment townhouses, ar�d some detached single family. He further �
stated that he was asking for a higher use than R-1 on the entire tract. �

� Mayor Tate stated that there was a very nice addition on the east and
� that there w�s a lot of concerned property owners that felt this
� development would effect the value of their property. He further
� stated that he felt it was an admission of commercial zoning not being
� condusive to single family dwellings �f the applicant was not willing
� to zone any single family next to the commercial zoning. Mayor Tate
� then stated that there was too much commercial zoning in this "PD" and
� before he would vote for it there would have to be more single family. �
Questions or comments were now in order from the audience:
� The Council recognized Mr. W. Floyd Deacon of 105 Cross Creek Drive. 1
� Mr. Deacon stated that he was representing the Manor Oaks residents.
� Mr. Deacon then passed out a packet to the City Councid:. Mr. Deacon �
made reference to a petition that had been signed and filed during the
� last hearing on this application. He further stated that some of the
� property owners had changed since the last hearing, one being a new
resident that had built a fine ne�r home on Business 114 proving that
; this area is very condusive to single family development. He then
$ stated that they(property owners) object to the proposed zoning as made
� by Mr. McWaters. This is sixteen homeowners and one lot owner that
t
� object because they feel that the �alu�_,.of their property would decrease
� maybe as much as 50 percent. He then stated that the zoning of this
� property has been R-1 down through the years and none of the property
� owners would have built homes there if they thought that a shopping
center would be located next to them. He further stated that this land
� was very desirable for residential zoning and that it was needed because
this is one of the last areas left where a residential section could be
1 located. He then discussed the location of the property and stated
� that it was desirable for R-1 because of its nearness to the Airport.
� He then stated that he felt the City of Grapevine would still grow
�
� without this "Planned Development" ; he felt that it was a good plan
� but was it actually located where it would best serve the economic needs
� of the City. He then pointed out several office buildings that were
� vacant and stated that he felt an econimic impact study should be made
� to determine the feasibility of this development in this area. Mr.
� Deacon then stated that the residents were very concerned about the
� environmental impact on water, lit ter, and traffic that would be a
� result of granting this zoning. Th.e water problem would definately
i
increase if the area would be paved. He then pointed out several
� businesses in the area that had problems with litter. The traffic
� situation was discussed by Mr. Deacon. He then stated that the proposal
� was not complete. He then stated that the�e residents liked Mr. McWaters '
� proposal but that it was just in the wrong location and that there would
� be better times for this type of development.
�
� Mr. M. G. Spencer stated that he was the person who had just built the
� new home on Business 114. He questioned the fact if the Planning &
� Zoning Commission had��studied the water problem in this area. He then
stated that he recommended that the application go back before the
� Planning & Zoning Commission.
�
� Mr. Tom McAfferty made several points that 1�ie felt was of vital
� importance:
� l. the area is condusive to single family development and
! should not be condemned because it borders on two major
thoroughfares.
E 2. the develop�en� would increase traffic i�f the zoning were
s approved.
3. the water problem would increase.
4. the "green area" would not be green in the winter, providing
very little screening.
5. what will eventually be built there if the zoning is approved,
is not n�cessarily what was called for in the P.D.
Mr. Stafford Page pointed out that there were several areas located
throughout the metroplex where shopping centers adjoined residential
property and the persons never moved not did the value of their property
�
�
1 � ;'
. �
,
devaluate. He then stated that he was for the application. '''
Mrs. Tom McAfferty stated that she was against the proposed zoning �'
and offered re�sons for it tha� she felt it was very relevant to �
women: they want to insure the quiet, peaceful atmosphere that they
now engoy. She then stated that �he restaurant that had been proposed ±
was very offensive to her because of the business hours and the odors "
that are a product of a restaurant.
Further questions from the Council were now in order: �
Councilman Dunn inquired about the values of the property in this r
area. Councilman Dunn then inquired if the residents of this area
would be willing to submit to �he Council what they paid for their
property due to amount of conversation held on property values.
Mr. Deacon explained that the residents would be willing to disclose
this information. He stated tha� the lots that he bought in 1965
had tripled in value. Mr. Deaeon then explained a par�graph from the
handotzt that he provided to the Council. He stated that he felt the `
applicant bought the property at a residential rate with the intention z'
�
of having it rezoned to a higher use, sell the property at a higher
price because of its higher use, and make a large profit. There was
then a short discussion of lot sizes and prices in that addition. �
Councilman Dalton stated that he was not in favor of taking any action
and he then made a motion to close the public hearing and table any x
action until a later date. Councilman Pirkle seconded the motion and `'
the motion prevailed by the following vote: #:
Ayes: Tate, Conine, Dalton, Murphy, Dunn, Oliver, Pirkle ;
Noes: None
Mayor Tate declared the public hearing on Z-73-14 closed. �

and stated that insurance in the amount� of $100,000 had beeri placed in �
the ordinance and that this insurance would not cost more than $50 per �
year. Councilman Murphy stated that his position on this subject was `
still the same. Councilman Dunn stated that he was more concerned
about merchandise being placed on the sidewalks. The City Manager F
�
explained that portion of the ordinance detailing the pla�ing of =
merchandise on public sidewalks. Councilman Dalton then made a motion �
to pass the �ord inance on an emergency basis. Council�itoman Conine
