Chairman Spencer then declared the floor open for nominations for a Chairman. Peggy Engholm made a motion to nominate Sharron Spencer, and Gerald Norman seconded the motion; then, there being no further nominations, Richard Atkins made a motion to elect Mrs. Spencer by acclamation, and with a second from Vice Chairman Cook, the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None Abstain: Spencer Absent: Wilbanks Chairman Spencer, then called for nominations for Vice Chairman, and Richard Atkins nominated Vice Chairman Cook, to which Gerald Norman offered a second; then Gerald Norman made a motion to elect Ron Cook By acclammation, and Peggy Engholm seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Joyce, Norman, Atkins, & Engholm Nays: None Abstain: Cook Absent: Wilbanks ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -10 - UPTON The second item of new business for consideration by the Commission for the purpose of making a recommendation to the City Council was zoning application Z84 -10, submitted by Mr. Gary Upton. In the public hearing Mr. Baddaker advised those present that the area of the application was legally described as Lots 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 29, and the north 15 feet of Lot 13, Block 15 of the Original Town of P &Z Minutes 5 -15 -84 Page 2 Grapevine, located at the corner of East College and South Main Street. The present zoning "CBD" Central Business District has a grandfather conditional use for alcohol. The requested zoning, "SP" Site Plan, for the storage, possession and retail sale of alcoholic beverages for off - premise consumption incidental to the operation of a supermarket and for the placement of a reverse vending machine, all in accordance with an amended site plan, has a recndation for commercial use by the Master Plan. Then Mr. Baddaker introduced Mr. Gary Upton, General Manager for Can Cashier of Texas, who explained the purpose of his request being to install a machine for the disposal of cans using a plot plan to depict the location of the unit in the vicinity of the Winn Dixie supermarket. Mr. Upton and Mr. Baddaker fielded questions from the Council and Commission relatively to the maintenance and assurance of the attractiveness of the facility and of the alcoholic beverage request. There were no guests present to speak for or against the proposed zone change and no letters or petitions were reportedly received by the City Secretary. In the Commission portion of the meeting the discussion pertained mainly to the lack of delination of area for storage of alcoholic beverages. Following a deliberation as to necessity of requiring this depiction on the site plan, Peggy Engholm made a motion to table the application to enable the applicant time to revise the site plan delineating the area where alcoholic beverages are to be sold and stored; and Richard Atkins seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: Joyce Absent: Wilbanks ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -11 - WHITE The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was zoning application Z84 -11, submitted by Arthur and Darleen White. In the public hearing Mr. Baddaker advised that the property location is the east 102 feet of Lot 5, Ruth Wall Subdivision located at East North- west Highway at 921 East Wall, presently zoned "HC" Highway Commercial. It was noted that the requested zoning is "SP" Site Plan for the storage, possession, retail sale and off - premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer only) incidental to the operation of a walk -up, drive- through restaurant and party shop, all in accordance with a site plan. The Master Plan's recommended use is low density residential. Mr. Baddaker then introduced Mr. Arthur White, applicant. Numerous questions from the Commission and Council pertained mainly to the traffic from Wall Street into the store, determining for certain that it would be one -way. The City Secretary reported receiving no petitions or letters, and there was no one present to speak relative to Z84 -11. In the Commission portion of the meeting, following a lengthy discussion relative to no delineation for alcohol storage on the site plan, the consensus of the discussion was concerning there being more of a "beer barn" use rather than a party shop usage, such concern being whether it would be the highest and best use for the property. Then Vice Chairman Cook made a motion to table the recommendation until a site plan could detail the area for storage of alcoholic beverages (beer only). The Whites then presented a site plan showing the storage area which was available to the City as required; and Mr. Cook withdrew his motion. The next motion came from Harlen Joyce to approve the site plan and recommend approval of the zone change request to the City Council. P &Z Minutes 5 -15 -84 Page 3 The motion failed for lack of a second. In further discussion, Mr. Eberhart questioned the Whites relative to drive -way width, determining that they were 14 feet, and Mr. Hardy noted that no drives were added to State Highway 114. The final motion from Richard Atkins was to recommend that the City Council deny the request for zone change, and Peggy Engholm seconded the motion. Mr. Atkins' reason was potential traffic problems and that the majority of the sales would be frog. beer. The prevailing vote was as follows: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Atkins & Engholm Nays: Norman & Joyce Absent: Wilbanks ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -12 - SAFEWAY STORES, INC. Next the Commission was to consider Z84 -12 and make a recommendation to the City Council. In the public hearing, Mr. Baddaker described the area of the application as being Lots 1 and 2 of Safeway Addition, #4, located at 108 West Northwest Highway. The present zoning is "HC" Highway Commercial, with prior "SP" grandfather clause, and the proposed zoning would be "SP" Site Plan for th storage, possession, retail sale and off - premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer only) incidental to the operation of a supermarket, all in accordance with a revised site plan. Then the Director of Public Works introduced Mr. Myron Baker, representing Safeway Stores who was questioned by the Commission and Council relative to any existing problem with the easement for roadway for the State Highway Department. The City Secretary reported that no letters or petitions relative to the subject request were received, and there were no guests who wished to speak. Then, in the Commission Meeting, Mr. Eberhart issued copies of a letter pertaining to the Main Street alignment, discussing the relationship of the zoning case to the site plan. Traffic access on Barton Street was addressed by Chairman Spencer. Then following further discussion, Member Joyce made a motion to approved the zone change as requested, and Gerald Norman seconded the motion; and following further discussion, Mr. Norman withdrew his second, and the motion failed for lack of a second. Then Peggy Engholm made a motion to table a recommendation for further information on the road extension which Mr. Eberhart advised should be available from Freese & Nichols soon. Richard Atkins offered a second to the motion, and the prevailing vote was as follows: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: Joyce Absent: Wilbanks REPLAT OF THE ORIGINAL TOWN OF GRAPEVINE, LOT 2, BLOCK 4 The final item for public hearing for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the replat of the Lot 2, Block 4, of the Original Town of Grapevine. In the public hearing, Mr. Baddaker advised that this replat was submitted prior to the finalization of the City - initiated zoning case in this area. The property, located immediately west of Crabtree and Powers' Goodyear Store, previously zoned "C -2" is now zoned "CBD" Central Business District and covers the tea room. With the rezoning to "CBD", 20' minimum frontage requirements became applicable to Lot 2 -B. P &Z Minutes 5 -15 -84 Page 4 Further, Mr. Baddaker advised that Staff approval would be recommended if Lot 2 -B is incorporated with Lot 1 with 1 -A and 2 -A remain as submitted., incorporating the Crabtree and Powers business facility all on one lot, meeting minimum. requirements of the zoning ordinance. Mr. Baddaker introduced Mr. Bill Crabtree, applicant, who further answered questions from Council and Commission, and described the revised site plan. The City Secretary reported receipt of no letters or petitions, and there were no guests present who wished to speak for or against the request for zone change. In the Commission portion of the meeting, Chairman Spencer advised the applicant to prepare a new site plan depicting what the Engineering Department drawings did change. Then a motion from Gerald Norman and a second from Harlen Joyce stated that the replat should be approved on Lot 1 -A instead of 2 -B. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None Absent: Wilbanks REPLAT OF THE SAFEWAY ADDITION The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the replat of the Safeway Addition. In the Commission meeting, Mr. Eberhart advised that the replat, located at Main and Barton, would eliminate a lot line which would allow Safeway to expand the existing building to the west and requires no public hearing since property owners in the area signed a petition agreeing to the replat. Then, Mr. Eberhart discussed in detail, the plans for street realignment, detailing easement and right -of -way requirements and that the Staff would recommend approval of the plat if the requested Texas Power and Light easements are shown on the plat as well as the realignment of Main Street, with a conditional permit being issued subject to the final plat being submitted with the corrections mentioned with the certificate of occupancy being held if the plat is not revised. Following a discussion, the consensus of the Commission was to wait until an exact road alignment could be shown, when Freese and Nichols, City of Grapevine Engineering Consultants had furnished such. Then Vice Chairman Cook made a motion to table recommendation on the plat for necessary information for clarification of TP & L easements and Main Street realignment, until a called meeting in early June. The motion was duly seconded by Gerald Norman and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None Absent: Wilbanks FINAL PLAT OF GLADE CROSSINGS RETAIL CENTER The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the final plat of Glade Crossings Retail Center. It was noted that this plat is commercial property at the northwest corner of Glade Road and Grapevine - Euless Road. Also, Mr. Eberhart advised that all requirements had been met from the preliminary plat with water and sewer facilities installed by Crow Development and Staff recommending approval. P &Z Minutes 5 -15 -84 Page 5 There being little discussion, Member Joyce made a motion to recommend the Council approve the plat as submitted, and Commissioner Norman seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins, & Engholm Nays: None Absent: Wilbanks PRELIMINARY PLAT OF TOWN PARK The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of Town Park. This subdivision for single - family lots adjacent to Oak Creek Estates has some severe drainage problems, Mr. Eberhart advised, which the developer is aware of. It was noted that Freese and Nichols is doing a study to determine water line size for the area, and adequate utilities are available or will be able to be provided for; and lots appear to conform to "R -7.5" regulations. The only needed adjustment foreseen for the submission of the final plat would be a slight realignment of the arterial as the street enters the Lightner property to the south to create useable property on both sides of the arterial. There being little discussion, Mr. John Ball provided a copy of the plat of the North -South Arterial, and Mr. Baddaker explained the adjustment which had been made in the arterial alignment. It was the general consensus of the Commission to postpone the recommendation on the subject plat until after consideration of the amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan this evening. Then later, Gerald Norman made a motion to accept the plan as shown on the map, and Harlen Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Norman, Joyce, & Atkins Nays: Spencer & Engholm Absent: Wilbanks PECAN GAP ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT Next, the Commission was to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council on the Pecan Gap preliminary plat. Mr. Eberhart advised that this plat, located north of Dove Road, east of Kimball Road is not uniform, having been been split as a result of an estate sale; and he noted that the final plat needs to indicate a 5 foot dedication on Kimball Road, 10 foot utility easements for the power and telephone companies, and show finished floor elevations on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 21 Block 2. With these corrections, the Staff recommends approval, Mr. Eberhart advised. There being no questions or discussion, Vice Chairman Cook made a motion to approve the plat subject to stipulations recommended by the City Staff being shown on the final plat. Harlen Joyce seconded the motion, and it prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None Absent: Wilbanks PRELIMINARY PLAT OF MARSHALL ESTATES The next item for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of Marshall Estates. Mr. Eberhart advised that the location of the plat is north of Hall Street and west of North Main, and noted that Mr. Baddaker's recommendation to eliminate two intersections of an arterial street being within 40 feet of one another, that the street extensions proposed in this subdivision not be extended into the City property so that more P &Z Minutes 5 -15 -84 Page 6 through circulation can be provided to the area west of the sewer plant which would mean cul- de- sacing the street. Further, he advised that Staff recommends approval with the addition of the cul -se -sac and the additional utility easements. There being little discussion, Harlen Joyce made a motion to recommend that the plat be approved with the changes recommended by the City Staff; and Vice Chairman Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None Absent: Wilbanks NORTH -SOUTH ARTERIAL LOCATION - AMEND THROUGHFARE PLAN Next for consideration by the Commission for a recommendation to the City Council was the North -South Arterial Location. Mr. Baddaker, with the lay -out of the arterial from Hall Johnson through the airport to State Highway 26, described the proposed changes at length. It was noted that a letter of approval to place the arterial on airport property was received from the airport. Chairman Spencer expressed some concern relative to requiring easements from more than one property owner in one area of the arterial shift. It was noted that from an engineering standpoint, the primary consideration was give to the lay of the land as well as to have only one property owner per side giving the most usable property for development. Following further deliberation, Harlen Joyce made a motion to recommend the Council approve the north -south arterial as amended. Then Gerald Norman expressed the concern that an exception should be the area having the property line split the road. The motion was duly seconded by Vice Chairman Cook and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Norman, Joyce & Atkins Nays: Spencer & Engholm Absent: Wilbanks EAST - WEST ARTERIAL LOCATION - AMENDMENT TO THOROUGHFARE PLAN The next item for consideration by the Commission in order to make a recommendation to the City Council was to amend the thoroughfare plan relative to the East -West arterial location. Mr. Baddaker reviewed the proposed thoroughfare plan change, detailing the location of the realigm -ent on the map as follows: From the corner of Dove and Dove Loop Road, southeast to Murrell Road, then continuing southeast until it intersects North Main; then continuing east, crossing Wildwood and Dooley and aligning with Peach Street, then continuing east across Boyd to Ruth Wall. Then following an extensive discussion, the Commission included their recommendation relative to curving a line; and Mr. Baddaker concurred that such a change could be easily incorporated. There being no further deliberation, Commissioner Atkins made a motion to approve the realignment as recommended, and Commissioner Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: P &Z Minutes 5 -15 -84 Page 7 Ayes: Cook, Joyce, Norman, & Atkins Nays: Spencer, & Engholm Absent: Wilbanks ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -09 - MARK TUTUN Next the Commission was to consider Zoning Application Z84- 09,previously tabled at the April meeting, and make a recommendation to the City Council. It was noted that the property on the west side of Highway 121, north of Parker Cemetery and south of Big Bear Creek, being 138.099 acres of land, presently zoned "R -1" Single Family with the requested zoning being "R- 12.5" Single Family, "R -7.5" Single Family, "R -MF -2" Multi- Family and "CN" Neighborhood Commercial, had been recommended as follows by the Master Plan: a mix of low density residential, high density residential, and low intensity office / commercial. The primary concern of the Commission in tabling the recommendation at the earlier meeting, was realignment of the thoroughfare plan. Chairman Spencer called on Mr. Tutun to discuss the revised request as exists following the rezoning hearing. He advised that prior to April 17, there had been one zoning on the entire property which primarily reduced the number of units allowed by 300, increasing the amount of single - family, and resulted in the existing zoning request. In the discussion, Mr. Tutun advised that Tracts 1, 2, 3, 8, and part of 10, would need to be withdrawn. Chairman Spencer advised that a motion to that affect would be required. Richard Atkins so moved to permit the above named tracts to be withdrawn and with no action to be taken on Tract 4, 9 or lower half of 10, and Harlen Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Atkins & Engho].m Nays: None Absent: Wilbanks Then Richard Atkins made a motion to approve the zone change request in accordance with the metes and bounds on file with the City Secretary's office since the revision of Zoning Application Z84 -09, was accomplished and the second was offered from Harlen Joyce.
