Baddaker, P.E. and Secretary Terry Pennington also in attendance. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Duane Rogers called the meeting to order. ZONING APPLICATION Z81-10, Trailwood Mobile Home Estates The first order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Commission was the consideration of Zoning Application Z81-10 requesting "M-H" Mobile Home, submitted by Mr. Herbert C. Martin. The Council voted on March 17 to table consideration of the Planning and Zon- ing Commission's recommendation of denial (4 to 2) pending full Council attendance. In the meantime, a letter was received from Mr. Martin requesting that the application be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further consideration. During the Council meeting of March 24 the Council complied with that request. Members discussed sewage, water, and the location within the noise zone. Chairman Duane Rogers felt, as did other members, that a mobile home zoning would be the most feasible at the present time considering the DFW Airport's proposed crosswind runway. When the runway construction was started the residents in the mobile home park could be required to move. Member Robert Sands made a motion to approve the requested zoning pending finalization of a deed restriction with the city of Grapevine being a party which would eliminate those mobile homes within the noise zone when the crosswind runway became operational. Member Ron Cook seconded the motion and it prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Rogers, Spencer, Anderson, Cook, Joyce, and Sands Nays : None Abstain: Norman ZONING APPLICATION Z81-17, Carla Ross The next order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Commission was the consideration of Zoning Application Z81-17 requesting "SP" Specific Use Permit District for the storage, sale, serving and on- premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only), incidental to the operation of a restaurant and further providing for all other uses in the "C-2" Community Business District, submitted by Carla H.

The next order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Commission was the consideration of Zoning Application Z81-18 requesting "I-l" Light Industrial, submitted by Wadsworth Golf Construction Company. Member Harold Anderson pointed out that the new master plan map suggested the area in question be used for multi-family. Member Anderson also questioned whether Hughes Road would handle heavy equipment because the road was not designed to handle the weight of heavy trucks and tractors. He suggested the Planning and Zoning Commission follow the master plan recommended use. Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer said the company would be good in Grapevine, but would like it to be located in another area. Member Harlen Joyce stated his concern of spot zoning and also suggested the company be located elsewhere in Grapevine. Member Robert Sands agreed with Member Anderson by saying that a great deal of work had been put into the master plan and the City had areas set aside for "I-l" Light Industrial. Member Harold Anderson made a motion to deny the requested zoning on the basis that it was not in keeping with the new master plan, Hughes Road did not lend itself to heavy construction vehicles and the requested zoning change would be classified as spot zoning.
