NEW BUSINESS
The first item for consideration by the Commission for the purpose of
making a recom-pandation to the City Council was the Re plat of Block 6
and portions of Blocks 5 & 7 of the Original Town of Grapevine.
In the public hearing, Mr. Baddaker advised that the plat concerned an
additional building for the First Methodist Church, immediately west of
the existing building, and a site plan was-submitted depicting the new
structure which included an approximate 30 foot rear setback, a 55 foot
front setback and a 17 foot setback from the west property line.
Further, he advised that the purpose of the re -plat is to allow the
building to cross a lot line. Mr. Baddaker then discussed possible ways
to solve the existing drainage problems concerning the church property
and Federal Housing Authority property north of the site.
There was no one present to represent the First Methodist Church;
however, a member of the Church congregation volunteered to answer
questions. In response to a question from Chairman Spencer relative to
naming the front of the building,Mr.Jerry Pair advised that the front
of the building would front on Franklin Street. Following a brief
deliberation relative to inadequate setbacks, Mr. Hancock, City Manager,
advised that the public hearing was held to consider combining two lots
into one, not approve a site plan, as set forth in City Ordinance
relative to re- plats.
An unidentified woman stated that her property adjoined the church
property, and she expressed concern that there would be increased
traffic and that the church expansion would crowd the neighborhood and
reduce her property value.
The City Secretary advised that there had been no correspondence
received relative to the subject re plat.
In the Commission portion of the meeting discussion continued relative
to the inadequate set backs on the site plan, and Mr. Baddaker advised
that it would be necessary to correct these when application was made
