Street, with the following persons present, to wit: Sharron Spencer Chairman Pon Cook Vice Chairman Harlen Joyce Member Tom Powers Member Gerald Norman Member Share Wilban]s Member Rick Atkins Member NEW BUSINESS - PUBLIC HEARING ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -05 - ARTHUR WHITE The first item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zoning Application Z84 -05, suhndtted by Mr. Arthur White. Mr. Richardson advised that the subject property, Lot 6 or the Ruth Wall Addition is presently zoned "C -2" Community Business, and the requested zoning is "S -P" Site Plan for the storage, possession, retail sale and off - premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer only) incidental to the operation of a drive through /walk -up restaurant and party shop. Then, Mr. Richardson introduced Mr. White who further explained the purpose of his request for rezoning. Questions from the Commission and Council reflected concern principally relative to inadequate parking, poor visibility for turning from and into traffic, misplacement of driveways and inadequate space for forming a line for the drive- through. There were no guests present to speak relative to the request, and the City Secretary reported receipt of one letter from the Dallas /Fort Worth Airport expressing no objection to the requested zone change. Later, during the Commission's deliberation portion of the meeting, there were extensive questions asked of Mr. Richardson and Mr. White relative to revising portions of the site plan. In addition to concerns voiced during the public hearing, Chairman Spencer advised that members should consider if this request would be the highest and best use for the subject property, and if the tract was of adequate size for the proposed use. Then Member Harlen Joyce made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the rezoning request; the motion failed for lack of a second. Following further discussion, it was a suggestion to the Whites to redesign the drive entrance to provide a traffic line -up on the property rather than in the street, and a suggestion to remove the "squawk box" entirely. Then a second motion was offered from Shane Wilbanks, and seconded by Harlen Joyce to approve the request with a provision for redesigning the drives and removing the squawk box. The motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Wilbanks and Joyce Nays: Spencer, Norman, Atkins and Cook Abstain: Powers A third motion was made by Commissioner Atkins to recommend that the Council deny the request, and Vice Chairman Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: P &Z iN,inutes 3 -27 -84 Page 2 !

Mr. Baddaker advised that the portion of Northwest Plaza Shopping Center was presently zoned "S -P" Site Plan for on and off premise consumption of alcoholic beverages, and the requested zoning was "S -P" Site Plan for the operation of a veterinary clinic with animals to be kept overnight during periods of treatment and not to be a kennel. Mr. Baddaker, then introduced Dr. Tomlinson who displayed an artist's rendering of his proposed clinic and further explained the purpose of the request, emphasizing plans to insulate the sounds to best eliminate noises ordinarily associated with an animal hospital. A primary concern of Commissioners as reflected by questions, was the size of animals. Dr. Tomlinson reported that only small animals would be treated on premises. There were no letters or petitions presented to the City Secretary or City Planner relative to Z83 -06, and no one spoke for or against the case. During the Commission's portion of the meeting, Mr. Richardson questioned Mr. Boyle, City Attorney, relative to incorporating the exhibit of a floor plan presented by Dr. Tomlinson with the site plan. Following Mr. Boyle's ruling that this procedure would be acceptable, Shane Wilbanks made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve the rezoning request with the attached exhibit, and Harlen Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks and Atkins Nays: None Abstain: Powers ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -07 - RON HAYNES Next the Commission was to consider Zoning Application Z84 -07 submitted by Mr. Ron Haynes and make a recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Baddaker described the subject tract located immediately north of Dove Elementary in the Joel Hallum Survey, A -722, as being 19.78 acres presently zoned "PD" Planned Development. The requested zoning is "SP" Site Plan for a townhouse condominium development, not to exceed 12 units per acre, and the Master Plan's recommendation for the tract is medium density residential. Then Mr. Baddaker introduced Mr. Haynes who explained the purpose of the request with a lengthy presentation, displaying an artist's rendering and booklet of the proposed development. Those of the Council and Commission questioning Mr. Haynes, expressed disapproval of the inconsistency in naming the project townhome condominiums while requesting density, parking requirements, and with no provision for public streets, which is indigenous to multi- family requirements rather than townhome or condominium specifications. Other concerns addressed by Councilmembers and Commissioners related to inadequate handling of additional traffic and insufficient utilities, and that the size of some of the proposed town - homes would be only 750 square feet or one bedroom size dwelling units. The City Secretary reported receiving 8 letters and one petition containing 91 signatures in opposition to the zone change.

In the public hearing Mr. Baddaker advised that the subject property, known as the Pickering Farm was 143.902 acres presently zoned "PD" and the requested zoning is "PUD" Planned Unit Development. A waiver was previously granted by the Council making it possible for the subject request for rezoning since the property location is included within the moratorium area. Mr. Baddaker then introduced Mr. Joe Wright, applicant and owner of the subject property and Mr. Buddy Sheppherd of Starnes and Associates Engineering Firm. Mr. Wright explained the purpose of his request and displayed an artist's rendering and site plan of the planned development for the entire tract. He advised that 27.8 acres would be developed Multi- family, 98.7 acres, single - family detached, 17.4 acres single - family attached, 8.0 acres of park, and 7.7 acres for neighborhood service. There were questions and extensive discussion relative to open space, expected traffic generation, the planned minor arterial for the area, pedestrian access to Pickering Park; and Mr. Wright offered an explanation of use of the site plan rather than the "R -MF -2" as per Mr. Wiles' (City Planning Consultant) suggestion. Those present responding to mayor Tate's invitation to speak were Jackie Mayfield, 3619 High Drive, opposing Mr. Wright's proposed multi- family portion of the development, Dorothy Koopman, 3025 Hillcrest, opposing the development because of the added traffic, John Steiben, 2731 Kimberly in opposition and Ken Smith, 2708 Newcastle Drive who questioned the thoroughfare plans for the area and Alfredo Robledo, 2813 Kimberly who expressed disappointment in City services in the area for present residents. The City Secretary, Karen Spann, read into the record one letter from Jack W. Boles, 2751 Warwick Way, expressing opposition to the subject request. In the C=,ission portion of the meeting, there was further discussion relative to a vaalkway being provided for park access as Councilwoman Brekken had suggested during the public hearing portion of the meeting as well as Vice President Cook expressing a desire to see trails provided and Mr. Wilhank's expressed desire for a preference to Mr. Wright's application for "PRD -6" rather than the "PUD ".

Mr. Baddaker advised those present that all legal notices had been accomplished for this tract of land. The purpose of the request was to incorporate a small portion of Lot 7 which had been purchased to alleviate a problem previously created because a garage had been constructed on a lot line. There were questions relative to adequate sideyard requirements from Chairman Spencer. There were none present to speak relative to the subject case, and the City Secretary reported that no correspondence had been received. In the Commission portion of the meeting there was further discussion relative to the sideyard provision, and then Vice Chairman Cook made a motion to table the replat to provide time to obtain the necessary information relative to the sideyard. Richard Atkins seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Powers, Norman, Wilbanks & Atkins Nays: None REPLAT OF LOTS 11 & 12, BLOCK 1 OF WTNDMTT,T, ESTATES The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the replat of Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 of Windmill Estates. In the Conunission portion of the meeting, Mr. Eberhart advised that it was not necessary to advertise the subject replat for public hearing due to no lots having been sold within the addition. Further that the purpose of the replat is to combine Lots 11 and 12 into one large lot. Further, he advised that Staff recommends approval of the request. Chairman Spencer asked the purpose of the request, and Mr. Eberhart advised that the owner, Sonny James, wishes to have the larger lot for his residence. There being no further discussion, Commissioner Richard Atkins made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the replat as requested, and Commissioner Shane Wilbanks seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Joyce, Powers, Norman, Wilbanks and Atkins Nays: None Abstain: Spencer REPLAT OF LOT 7, GRAPEVINE INDUSTRIAL PARK The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the Replat of Lot 7, Grapevine, Industrial Park. P &Z Minutes 3 -27 -84 Page 5 Mr. Eberhart reported receipt of letters from all property owners within the addition stating that there is no objection to the proposed replat, therefore, no public hearing is necessary prior to consideration of the subject request for replat. Further, those present were advised that the present zoning is "I -2" Heavy Industrial, and the plat conforms to all zoning subdivision requirements. However some difficulty could be encountered in tieing into the existing sewer tap since it is approximately 30 feet north of the new property and is not established at a common property line. The Staff recommends approval of the replat. In answering questions, Mr. Eberhart advised that the original lot length was about 240 feet wide, and with no further discussion, Member Harlen Joyce made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the plat as submitted, and a second was offered by Commissioner Tom Powers. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Powers, Norman, Wilbanks & Atkins Nays: None FINAL PLAT OF LAKEAIEW PLAZA The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the final plat of Lakeview Plaza. Those present were advised -that this plat covers the area to the west of Northwest Plaza on the south side of Northwest Highway, at which location a banking facility has been proposed. The area size is 4.7 acres where parking lots will be united with Northwest Plaza. Adequate City utilities are available, and Staff recommends approval of the plat as submitted. In response to a question from Chairman Spencer, a representative of the applicant advised that the drive is 350 to 400 feet from the bottom of the hill and the highway in the area of the drives is being widened. There being no further discussion, Commissioner Wilbanks made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve the plat as submitted, and a second was offered by Commissioner Harlen Joyce; then the prevailing vote was follows: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Powers, Norman, Wilbanks & Atkins Nays: None FINAL PLAT OF DOVE CROSSING PHASE I & PHASE II The next item for the Commission's consideration in order to make a recommendation to the Citv Council was the final plat of Dove Crossing. Phase I and Phase II. Those present xiere advised that this plat was split into two sections for-filing purposes, the reason being Phase II covers the area which is lower in elevation requiring special treatment to meet FHA financing requirements. Since the plat meets all City requirements and incor- porates all recommendations on the preliminary plat, City Staff recom- mends approval, Mr. Eberhart advised. There being little discussion, Commissioner Rick Atkins then made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve the plat as submitted, and Tom Powers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Powers, Norman, Wilbanks, & Atkins Nays: None P &Z i':1nL1�E'S 3 -27 -84 Page b t 11NZTl'ES O '177 =17l^"" t' ' rEBFJARZ 6 , 8 , 13, 21, 22 , 27 & MARCH 5, 1984 Next for �'lanning & Zoning Coninission consideration was the Minutes of the meetings of t`ebruar y 55, 10, 13 , 21, 22 27, and March 5, 1984.
