In the public hearing, Mr. Baddaker, Director of Public Works, advised
those present that the request for 138.099 acres located on the west

Creek, was to rezone from the present "R -1" Single Family designation to

"CN" Neighborhood Commercial, with the recommended use as prescribed by

a soil study, a hydrology study, a vegetation analysis, site
reconnaissance, a thoroughfare /utility analysis, proposed zoning and a
traffic analysis. Questions fielded from the Council and Commission
pertained principally to hydrology on the subject tract, proposals for
the flood plain area and the proposed extension of Cheek - Sparger Road
and the City's thoroughfare plan in this vicinity.
Guests present, speaking in opposition to the requested zoning were
Dale Bessant, 3104 William D. Tate Avenue, Ann Chamberlain, 2745 O'Dell
Court North, and Lois Miller, 2740 O'Dell Court North. The City
Secretary reported that no correspondence had been received relative to
Mr. Tutun's request for zone change.
In the Commission's portion of the meeting, members' questions
reiterated concerns expressed in the public hearing. City Planner,
Steve Richardson, advised that Mr. Tutun had been in consultation with
Mr. Wiles, Grapevine's Planning Consultant in determining zoning. The
major concern, as demonstrated by the lengthy discussion pertained to
the building of a bridge or low water crossing and all of the
considerations to be taken in such a venture, and Mr. Tutun advised the
mixed use plan was done to maintain compliance with the proposed zoning.
Then, Harlen Joyce's motion was to recomanend the zoning as requested, &
Shane Wilbanks' seconded the motion which failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Joyce& Wilbanks
Nays: Spencer, Cook, Norman & Atkins
A second motion by Richard Atkins was to table action for further
clarification and a second from Gerald Norman failed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Atkins, Spencer, & Norman
Nays: Cook, Joyce, & Wilbanks
Then Mr. Hardy reminded the Commission that they were dealing with a
zone change, not a plat approval, following which Shane Wilbanks again
made a motion to approve the zone change as submitted, and Harlen Joyce
offered the second which failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Wilbanks, Cook, & Joyce
Nays: Atkins, Spencer & Norman
Then a further discussion included consideration of withdrawing tracts
to which Commissioners had objection, followed by a motion from Richard
Atkins to approve provided that areas designated for "R- 12.5" zoning be
changed to "R -20" on the northern most area, that Tract 11 not be
included and Tract 8 be "R -7.5 ", which would be denying Tracts 11 & 8
and approving the remainder of the tracts. Following further brief
discussion, Mr. Atkins withdrew his motion.
Then Gerald Norman made a motion to table Z84 -09, and the second came
from Chairman Spencer. After a discussion relative to dedication of
right -of -way being done at the time of plat approval, the prevailing
vote was as follows:
Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Norman, & Atkins
Nays: Joyce & Wilbanks
The Commission then informed Mr. Tutun as to what areas to address in
the revision of the site plan as he requested.

In the public hearing, Public Works Director, Jim Baddaker, reported the
subject property's location to be 215 East Franklin Street and that the
Board of Zoning Adjustment had granted an exception to the frontage
requirements. Mr. Ron Tillery, the applicant for replat, introduced by
Mr. Baddaker advised that the purpose of the request was to divide the
lot into two, one with an existing house and another for building a new
house. Briefly, Mr. Tillery fielded questions from the Council and
Commission, after which Mayor Bill Tate invited guests to speak relative
to the replat. No one wished to speak; however, one letter from Mrs.
Rosa T. Allison, expressing approval of the replat was read into the
record by Karen Spann, City Secretary.
Commissioners, in their meeting further discussed the decision rendered
by the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the rezoning designation for the
subject area. The lot sizes, as reported by Doug Eberhart, Engineer,
as divided are 7700 square feet for the new house and 6600 square feet
for the existing house. It was noted that other lots in the area were
equivalent in size.
There being no further discussion, Harlen Joyce made a motion to approve
the replat as requested, and Shane Wilbanks seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks & Atkins
Nays: Spencer
The next order of business was for the Commission to consider the Replat
of Dove Creek, Phase I and make a recommendation to the City Council.
It was noted that this replat was submitted because the original plat
indicated building sites, and during the field layout of the project,
the building locations shifted to save several large oak trees. For the
purpose of closing on a construction loan the builder indicated that the
revised building sites needed to be shown on the plat. Mr. Eberhart
discussed the Dove Road and Autumn Drive drainage situation briefly and
advised that the City Staff recommends approval of the replat; and since
it is a one - owner, one -lot subdivision, no public hearing is required.
A motion from Commissioner Wilbanks and a second from Commissioner
Norman was to approve the replat as submitted, with the prevailing vote
as follows:
Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks & Atkins
Nays: None
FINAL PLAT OF NORTHWEST CROSSING
The next item for consideration by the Commission and a recommendation
made to the City Council was the final plat of Northwest Crossing.
It was noted that this plat covers 11:64 acres of land zoned "C -2" for
commercial development. The plat, being property located on the
northwest corner of Glade Road and Euless Main Street, meets all City
utility, right -of -way and easement requirements. The City Engineer
would suggest two (2), rather than three (3) drives on Dooley which
would meet with State Highway Department requirements.
After a motion from Gerald Norman and a second from Harlen Joyce to
approve the plat as submitted, the prevailing vote was as follows:
Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, & Atkins
Nays: None
