Mr. Hill, in response to Chairman P&Z Minutes January 15, 1985 Page 2.

After a brief discussion in the Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, a motion was made by Harlen Joyce to recorm end that the City Council grant the Ccmuunity Commercial Zoning request, which was seconded by Shane Wilbanks. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cock,Wilbanks, Norman, Joyce and Atkins Nays: None Absent: Engholm At the public hearing portion of the joint meting, Mir.

Mr. Baddaker further reviewed zoning history relative to the subject property, noting Mr. Larry Lightner's zoning request. At the Commission portion of the meeting regarding this zoning change request for the subject 10 1/2 acres, there was a brief discussion by the members. There being no further comments, a motion to recommend that the City Council grant the zoning request was made by Harlen Joyce and seconded by Shane Wilbanks; which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer,Cook, Wilbanks, Norman, Joyce and Atkins Nays: None Absent: Engholm At the public hearing portion of the meeting it was outlined that this is a zoning change request from R-3.5, Duplex Two-Family District to R-TH Townhcme District on 8 1/4 ± acres on Park Blvd. across from Vbodlake Apartments. Mr. Phil Parker spoke to all present and advised that there would be 55 units, which he noted, is well below the density requirements. He then introduced a Mr. Bill Orkin with Braewood Homes who showed drawings of the proposed units. These drawings indicated front entry garages, but when questioned about these, it was indicated that all do not have to be front entry. Drawings also showed that the units are attached by brick walls from each unit with an iron fence (gate) in the center. At that time, it was pointed out by Planning & Zoning conmission Members that Townhcmes are not attached by a fence between units. Further discussion from the Planning & Zoning CaTuLission was regarding the in number of stories on the units. Mr. Parker indicated that he would like to have about one-third (1/3) of the units two-story with single story units in between. He further indicated that these two story units would be well buffered by the non- buildable perimeter area. During this portion of the meting a home owner from Park Place, Mr. Pat McDermott, Lot 1, Block 4, 2013 Redwood Trail spoke indicating that he would have no problem with single story his on/near the buffer area. However, if two story horns were to be built there, he would like the zoning case to be tabled or denied. Also discussed during the public hearing portion of the meeting was the storm sewer situation in Park Place. It was stated that the developer would not start anything that would increase flow into Park Place. It was also mentioned that a pipe was to be put into Park Place to eliminate P. & Z. Minutes January 15, 1985 Page 3. drainage problems. Pursuant to the drainage problems in Park Place, it was noted that most seem to stem from the time the subdivision was originally built. Actual costs for the project are unknown, but it is expected that the new developer would pay 214 construction cost for this sewer project. Councilman Ron Dyer asked Mr. Phil Parker if he was willing to enter into a legal agreement with the City and participate for 21 % of cost. As figures are unavailable, a verbal commitment to participate was received. An estimated total cost of $99,423.00 was mentioned at this point in the discussion. At the Commission portion of the meting regarding this zoning change, Chairman Spencer open this case for discussion. It was the concensus of the members that this request for R-TH is a thinly disguised attempt to build R-5.0 with narrower lots than are allowed on the R-5.0 zoning district. The also mentioned no real effort on the part of the developer to restrict the units to single story. In view of the fact that this request goes around too many R-TH restrictions the following occurred: A motion was made by Richard Atkins to reccmmnd that the City Council deny the request for zoning as requested and was seconded by Shane Wilbanks; it prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Wilbanks, Joyce and Atkins Nays: Norman Absent: Engholm The next item for consideration is Zoning Application Z85-05 submitted by Central Park Development. This is a zoning request change from R-7.5 Single Family to CN Neighbor- hood Commercial for 1.2/3 ± acres described below. Mr. Al Davidson representing Central Park DeveloFmnt spoke to all present during the public hearing portion of the meting. He identified the site as the land adjacent to Northwest Plaza (currently a trucking business). Northwest Plaza also being a project of Central Park Development, they would like a road built between the two properties. Mr. Davidson advised that this would be a dedicated road, and the purpose would be a linkage between Wall Street and Business 114 (Northwest Highway). At this point, Mr. J. R. Braddaker advised that this road would have to be a 421 collector type street. Mr. Davidson further mentioned that they would like to build garden offices and show room type facilities on this property. The purpose of the road from 114 to Wall would be to make it easier for persons (customers) to have access to these businesses. At this point in the public hearing, several homowners from the Ridgecrest Addition directly behind this property spoke against this collector road. Some of the residents were against the zoning change itself, but all were against this road being cut into Wall Street. Several letters from homeowners also opposed to this road were read by the City Secretary, Karen Spann. Chairman Spencer opened this request for zoning change for discussion by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Members were opposed to the road between 114 and Wall as it would generate more extra traffic into the subdivision, which already has additional traffic due to the elementary school. It was further mentioned that this road is not on the Master Plan. The Commission is not in opposition to the zoning change as such, but is opposed to the road into Wall Street. At this point, a motion was made by Shane Wilbanks to recommend that the City Council deny the zoning change as requested. Motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Cook and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Wilbanks, Norman, Joyce and Atkins Nays: None Absent- Engholm P & Z Minutes January 15, 1985 Page 4 v4swilimmovoLLOAKeg, i• lardrew The final zoning case for consideration by the Commission, in order to make a recommendation to the City Council was zoning application Z85-06 requesting zoning be changed from present PID Planned Industrial Development to CC Community Commercial. Mr. Robert C. Naublock, Architect, for this proposed project spoke on behalf of Tommy Goff. The site is approximately 2.99 acres (one corner of approximately 73 aces on the southwest comer of SH 114 and Main Street. The current zoning is PID Planned Industrial Development and the requested zoning is for CC Community Ccumercial. The proposed building would be a seven (7) story structure, the main business being a banking institution. Mr. Naublock was asked by Council when project would begin. His answer was that it would partly depend on the availability of sewer. Water is already available to the proposed site. In the P & Z portion of the meeting, Chairman Spencer opened this case for discussion and questions. There was some discussion on the benefits of PID Zoning, if pieces of the larger tract were whittled out and sold the parcel a little at a time. Chairman Spencer indicated that they would see a concept plan each time and that it could be rather piece milled; adding that each could be less than 20 acres, and more if it is developed as a PID. As there was no further discussion, a motion was made by Harlen Joyce to recommend that the City Council grant CC Zoning as requested, and seconded by Ron Cook. This prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Wilbanks, Norman, Joyce and Atkins Nays: None Absent: Engholm, 18*10 The purpose is to vote to recommend the replat be approved to correct the typographical error - the word "thence" was left out of one line of the legal description on the original plat. The lot dimensions and easements and roadways have not been changed. As no discussion was necessary, a motion was made by Shane Wilbanks to recommend that the City Council approve the replat as requested, which was seconded by Harlen Joyce. This prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Wilbanks, Norman, Joyce and Atkins Nays: None Absent: Engholm. This particular tract is located on the north side of Dallas Road directly across the street from the Police-Library Building. Site is presently zoned LI Light Industrial, with water and sewer facilities available to serve the site. There is presently 70 feet of Right-of Way for Dallas Road, which will provide for a four-lane facility. The proposed facility to be built on this site would be a warehouse. After a short period of discussion, a motion was made by Harlen Joyce to recommend that the City Council approve the replat, and was seconded by Ron Cook; which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Wilbanks, Norman, Joyce and Atkins Nays: None Absent: Engholm.
