previously approved under the Planned Industrial Development District with a
Conditional Use Permit CU93 -07 (Ordinance 93 -35) with deed restrictions, but
construction was not begun within the allotted time requirement and the permit
expired.
Marcy Ratcliff, Planner, explained the City of Grapevine is the applicant in this request
because City Council instructed Staff at the April 30, 1996 Joint Workshop with the
Planning and Zoning Commission to initiate zone change requests in the area bounded
on the south by Bethel Road, on the north and west by State Highway 121 North and
on the east by the City Limit Line. All these properties are currently zoned "PID"
Planned Industrial Development and all the requests will be for "CC" Community
Commercial. Further, she explained the request was tabled at the June 18, 1996
public hearing until the July 16, 1996 meeting to give the applicant more time to
review and approve the proposed deed restrictions.
Marcy Ratcliff, Planner, stated Staff had submitted deed restrictions in conjunction
with this request that were almost identical to the deed restrictions and conditions
approved with Conditional Use Permit CU93 -07. The City Attorney, John Boyle has
reviewed and approved the deed restrictions. The restrictions still include specific
noise level standards not to exceed, require an independent acoustical consultant to
certify the noise reduction attenuation requirements, and recognition of both the
Joiner and Harris Reports completed in 1993.
Mr. Chuck Stark of Graham & Associates was introduced to respond to questions
relative to the request.
With no questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was

Next for the Commission to consider was the Tree Removal Permit TR96 -03
submitted by Trinity Industries requesting to remove trees outside the platted right -of-
way of the proposed Hanover Drive and Municipal Way.
Marcy Ratcliff, Planner, explained that developers as a matter of right are allowed to
remove trees in platted rights -of -way. They are not allowed to remove trees outside
the platted right -of -way. The Trinity Industries Addition plat and concept plan were
approved February 20, 1996.
Also, she discussed a letter included in the packet from Gordon Mayer of Nathan D.
Maier Consulting Engineers explaining the reasoning behind the request and the
exhibit indicating the location of the trees in relationship to the platted rights -of way.
Mr. Gordon Mayer was introduced to address the request and answer any questions
relative to this request. Mr. Mayer explained that Trinity Industries, Inc was
requesting a Tree Removal Permit to allow construction of Hanover Drive and
Municipal Way through the 237 acre tract located at the northeast corner of State
Highway 114 East and South Main Street. Hanover Drive and Municipal Way have
been designated as collector streets on the City of Grapevine Thoroughfare Plan and
are being constructed to open the interior of the property and make it more attractive
for development.
Mr. Mayer also stated Hanover Drive and Municipal Way are to be constructed in a
cut through a hill to provide proper drainage of the site and to provide fill material for
the site. The property generally slopes from west to east with a major branch of
Cottonwood Creek traversing the northern half of the property and crossing Minter's
Chapel Road. To maintain proper drainage Hanover Drive will slope away from Main
Street. This will limit the amount of storm water directed to the Main Street drainage
system. Storm water will flow overland and within the Hanover Drive storm sewer
system to Cottonwood Creek. Development of the portion of the property near the
northern and southern branches of Cottonwood Creek will require substantial fill
which may be obtained onsite.
Further, he stated construction of Hanover Drive and Municipal Way will require
removal of all trees within the right -of -way and the limits of the sloped area. There
wil
P & Z Minutes

are 218 trees proposed for removal, 73 of which are within the right -of -way. The
145 trees within the sloped area have a total caliper of 830 inches. Allowing the
removal of the additional trees within the cut section slope limits will provide the
working space needed to construct these two collector streets and will conform to
the spirit of the provisions of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. He stated they were
proposing to plant 140 trees along Capitol Street and 120 trees along Trinity
Parkway. The cumulative caliper of replacement trees will exceed that of the trees
being removed.
In response to Commissioner's questions, Mr. Mayer stated that Municipal Way will
eventually open up to Nash Street. He also stated they would begin street cuts in
August of 1996 with completion estimated in the spring of 1997. Also, he stated the
replacement trees will be irrigated.
After a brief discussion, Chris Coy moved to approve Tree Removal Permit TR96 -03
with the following stipulations: the total number of inches to replace is 830 inches
or more, the minimum tree size to use for replacement is three to four caliper inches,
trees planted along the Chevron /McDonaId's access easement shall have a maximum
separation of 50 feet, trees planted along Capitol Street, Trinity Parkway, Hanover
Drive and Municipal Way shall have a maximum separation of 25 to 30 feet, An
irrigation system must be installed to provide adequate water to the new trees, and
implementation of the tree mitigation plan is a requirement of the acceptance of the
streets by the Public Works Department. Darlene Freed seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Freed, Stamos, Martinez, Newby, Coy and Czapanskiy
