SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF MAY 24TH WORKSHO AGENDA ITEMS
MEETING DATE: MAY 24, 1994
1. NORTHWEST GRAPEVINE LAND USE STUDY
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at the joint public hearing and workshop
meeting on April 5, 1994, instructed Staff to gather information from the Corps of
Engineers relative to the 572 foot elevation and plans for Meadowmere Park. Attached
is a copy of the brochure the Corps of Engineers provides to property owners adjacent
to public land or to property owners of flowage easement land. The brochure is
straight and to the point about what property owners can and can not do. The Corps
plans to continue maintenance of the swim beach and boat ramp. The remote control
aircraft field is maintained by the Radio Airplane Club. The park is closed in the
winter from November lst to March 1st. The park hours in the spring, summer and
fall are 9 a.m. to sunset.
The portion of Meadowmere Park as currently leased by the City, contains 80 acres,
and no lake frontage. The Grapevine Lake Master Plan, which was adopted December
1989, targets in the first phase (zero to five years), acquisition of the remainder of the
park. Parks and Recreation is currently working on that acquisition and expect it to be
completed within two years. The plan calls for development of soccer fields and
practice soccer fields, equestrian trails, sailing classes, shoreline water and beach
activities. The plan also states the potential amenities to include the rental of bicycles,
beach umbrellas, contract of concessionaires, establishment of group picnic pavilions
and enhancement of family oriented activities. There are 2 soccer fields developed at
this time. The Parks and Recreation Department is currently updating the
Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan for all the parks and recreational
needs of the entire City.
The Commission also requested Staff to invite all the property owners to the next
workshop scheduled for May 24, 1994. To give the property owners ample time, Staff
mailed the notices on Friday, May 13.

2. SECTION 20 -44 - DRIVEWAY PLACEMENT STANDARDS
Public Works' Staff will be bringing forward for your review and consideration of the
Driveway Placement Standards as discussed at the August 24 and 31, 1993 Special
Workshop Meetings. The intent of the revisions are to improve the City's control over
the number of drive cuts allowed on collector and arterial thoroughfares. The standards
were put on hold until a current lawsuit with a property owner was settled relative to
development and driveway placement. Public Works will discuss the presentation from
the beginning since the Commission has not heard this item in 8 months.
3. CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION CU94 -10 (DON
PABLOS
The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled CU94 -10 for Don Pablos on May 17,
1994. The Commission requested the applicant to reconfigure the two driveway
entrances so they are centered on the property lines and will be shared by the adjacent
developments. The applicant will provide a revised master site plan and site plan at the
meeting.
4. SECTION 60, SIGN STANDARDS FOR PROJECTING SIGNS IN THE CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT
The Building Inspection Division denied a sign permit for a proposed projecting sign
for Pueblo Connection, on Main Street in the Central Business District, because it did
not meet the Sign Standards. According to the Sign Standards, the maximum sign
height in the Central Business District allows no sign to protrude above the roof or eave
line of the principal structure. Any projecting signs shall be a minimum of eight (8)
feet and a maximum of (10) feet above sidewalk grade. Projecting signs are allowed
only in the Central Business District. Also, only projecting signs are limited to a height
between eight (8) and ten (10) feet. As a result of this requirement, almost every
projecting sign on a building with a canopy or an awning would be required to place
the sign underneath the canopy or awning.
In the case of Pueblo Connection, the Historic Preservation Commission approved a
certificate of appropriateness for the construction of the rolled metal awning now in
place. The top of this particular awning is thirteen (13) feet. Mr. Fairchild, the
owner, wanted to place the projecting sign above the awning where it would be visible
to cars driving by on Main Street.
Staff wanted to bring this to your attention, to consider amending the Sign Standards
in the Central Business District to allow projecting signs not to protrude above the roof
or eave line of the principal structure. The maximum square footage of 35 feet would
remain the same. See the attachment for review.

5. SECTION 23A GRAPEVINE VINTAGE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO HEIGHT
LIMITATION
Staff has been discussing plans with Jerry and Linda Delaney concerning their winery
to be located on Mulberry Boulevard. The Delaney's are proposing a specially
designed two story building that exceeds the maximum height of 35 feet. The height
in the Grapevine Vintage District is limited to one story and 35 feet if it is located
contiguous to a "R -20 ", "R- 12.5" or "R -7.5" Single Family District. The proposed
winery is located contiguous to a Community Commercial District on the north. The
property across the street on the east is zoned "R -MF -2" Multi Family District and on
the south is zoned Community Commercial.
The proposed building is a French Chateauesque design, which has very high pitched
roofs and chimneys, having decorative prominent dormers typical of the chateaus of the
French Loire Valley. Staff is bringing this item before you for your consideration.
You might want to consider allowing those structures over 35 feet but under 50 feet as
a conditional use, if they are not contiguous to a single family residential district
6. CITY INITIATED ZONING CASES FOR PARKS AND PROPOSED ANNEXED
AREAS
Staff will be bringing forward over the next several months City of Grapevine initiated
zoning cases for approval. City Council at the April 5th meeting asked Staff to rezone
all City parks to Governmental Use. There are a total of 14 parks not zoned
Governmental Use. Staff will be bringing in the first three parks in Southeast
Grapevine in June. The remainder will be fit in as agenda space is available.
City Council has been considering annexing back into the city limits the Dallas and
Denton County properties that were deannexed last year. If these properties are
annexed they will come back into the city limits zoned as "R -20" Single Family. A
promise was made to those property owners that as soon as they were annexed back
into the city limits, the City would initiate zone change requests to rezone the properties
back to their previous zoning. These particular properties will be coming before you
in July.
7. DISCUSS REQUIRING CROSS ACCESS EASEMENTS BETWEEN
DEVELOPMENTS IN PLANNED COMMERCIAL CENTERS
In the past cross access within a planned commercial center has become an issue.
Concerns with cross access has been noted by Staff and subsequently by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The issue arose again with a review of
the Don Pablos Restaurant at 1709 CrossRoads Drive. Consideration needs to be given
by the Planning and Zoning Commission on whether to require cross access of between
all developments and lots within a planned commercial center.

8. DISCUSS THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS OF OUTSIDE STORAGE IN
SECTION 31, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
Section 31, Light Industrial District, allows several principal uses with outside storage.
Examples are the H. C. Beck Company on State Highway 360 and MDM Scaffolding
Service at 1084 East Northwest Highway. The Planning and Zoning Commission needs
to consider if principal uses should be allowed to have outside storage that is not
screened.
