CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Duane Rogers called the meeting to order.
ZONING APPLICATION Z81-5, Great Texas Companies, Inc.
The first order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Coramission
was the consideration of zoning application Z81-5 requesting "C-2" Community
Business District, submitted by Great Texas Companies, Inc., represented by
Blaine East.
Member Harlen Joyce pointed out the property in question was presently zoned
"R-3" Multi⢠Family. He would also like to see a medical and dental building
ng
erected rather than more apartments. Member Harold Anderson agreed with Member
Joyce, however he suggested a Specific Use Permit in that area but questioned
if such action was taken would the area be opened up to commercial zoning.
Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer was concerned if a Specific Use Permit was granted
when the owner would be back trying to change the zoning to "C-2". Member
Harold Anderson said he was not opposed to a Specific Use Permit. Chairman
Duane Rogers summarized by saying the majority of the citizens were opposed to
"C-2" zoning but not a professional building. Specific Use Permit would enhance
the area by restricting the construction of more apartments.
Member Harlen Joyce made a motion for a Specific Use Permit be approved for the
use of Professional, medical, and dental offices with "C-2" setbacks. Member
Ron Cook seconded the motion. No action was taken relative to the previous
motion. Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer questioned the parking facilities that
would be provided and whether customers would have to back out onto TiMberline.
Member Robert Sands questioned what would happen in the future if all the doctors
moved. The City would end up with an empty building or a requested zoning change.
Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer pointed out that the homeowners knew the apartments
would be built there when they invested their money in a home. However, they
did not know an office building would be located there. Member Harold Anderson
made a motion to deny the application requesting a zoning change. iieinber Robert
Sands seconded the motion. Denial was based on traffic problems that would be
created and the zoning change was not in accordance with the master -plan map.
The motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Rogers, Spencer, Anderson, Norman, and Sands
Nays: Cook and Joyce
ZONING APPLICATION Z81-6, C.D.E. Investments, Inc.
The next order of business to come before the Planninc, and Zoning Commission was
the consideration of zoning application Z81-6 requesting "SP" Specific Use Permit
for the storage, retail sale, and off - premise consumption of alcoholic beveraqes,
represented by Scott A,, Keeshin.
Member Robert Sands pointed out that the Commission must be consistent with their
1 of 4
decisions in the past concerning this same request and deny the application.
Member Harlen Joyce said the citizens voted to have beer in Grapevine and the
Commission has granted requests in the past and must be fair. Member Robert
Sands said that Mr. M and the Red Ball convenience stores were located on
major thoroughfares or highways. Member Ron Cook stated the previous arguements
do not warrant a zoning change and he would not support one. Vice Chairman
Sharron Spencer said the Commission has denied the request in the past and they
could not support it now. vice Chairman Sharron Spencer then made a motion to
deny the application on the basis of denial in the past with no change in the
property or application and the requested commercial operation should not be
located in a residential neighborhood but rather on a major highway or lake
corridor. Member Robert Sands seconded the motion. Denial prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Spencer, Anderson, Cook, and Sands
Nays: Joyce, Norman, and Rogers
REPLAT OF LOT 4, AND HALF OF LOT 5, BLOCK 3, RIDGECREST ADDITION

ZONING APPLICATION Z60-50, Good Luck Oil Company
The next order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Commission was
the consideration of zoning application Z80-50 requesting "SP" Specific Use
Permit for off-premise beer, convenience store, gasoline service station
and other "C-2" uses as permitted by the zoning ordinance, submitted by Good
Luck Oil Company represented by Mr. Amos E. Wilemon.
A public hearing on this matter was held on November 18, 1980. Because a
service station application had not been submitted, consideration of the
zoning application was tabled until December 16, 1980. Upon the request of
the applicant, the case was tabled again until January 20, 1981. Despite
phone calls and letters on behalf of the City Staff, a service station applica-
tion has not yet been received. In a telephone conversation with Mr. Jim
Mauney on January 13, the City Secretary was advised that Good Luck Oil Company
is no longer considering expansion at that location and that a letter is being
prepared asking for the application to be withdrawn. Therefore, Member Harlen
Joyce made a motion to deny the application. Member Harold Anderson seconded
the motion and it prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Rogers, Spencer, Anderson, Cook, Joyce, Norman, and Sands
Nays: None
ZONING APPLICATION Z80-51, Mary Wilson
The next order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Commission was
the consideration of zoning application Z80-51 requesting "C-2" Community
Business, submitted by Mary Wilson.
The public hearing on this matter was held on December 16, 1980. The recom-
mendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission resulted in a 3 to 3 tie
vote. A motion was made by the Council to return the case to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for a clear recommendation.
Member Robert Sands explained that he was absent at the December 16 meeting,
however he had gone to the area and saw no reason to deny the application.
Member Harold Anderson was concerned about spot zoning and suggested looking
at the master plan map. He did think that a day care center for that area would
be good but if the Commission varied from the master plan the City could end up
F.1 0im'd
with a vacant building. vice Chairman Sharron Spencer stated that Dublin and
Tipperary Streets were dirt and the homeowners had lived there for quite some
time and were opposed to the zoning change. Member Harlen Joyce made a motion
to grant a specific use permit for a day care center only, with screening on
the north and east sides. Member Gerald Norman seconded the motion. The motion
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Sands, Norman, and Joyce
Nays: Rogers, Spencer, Cook, and Anderson
Discussions continued regarding the master plan suggested guidelines. Member
Harold Anderson made a motion to deny the application. Member Sharron Spencer
seconded the motion. Denial was on the basis of spot zoning and the area in
question did not meet the suggested master plan guidelines. Motion prevailed
by the following vote:
Ayes: Rogers, Spencer, Anderson, and Cook
Nays: Joyce, Norman, and Sands
