ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -14 - FRED H. BRANAN, JR. M.D. The first item for the Commission's consideration for the purpose of making a recommendation to the City Council was Zoning Application Z84 -14 submitted by Mr. Dr. Fred H. Branan, Jr. In the public hearing Mr. Hardy advised that the location of the property relevant subject to the rezoning request was to the west of Park Blvd and north of State Highway 114, being 3.132 acres presently zoned R -3.5, two - family district. The applicant is requesting CC, Community Commercial. Mr. Hardy then introduced Dr. Branan who advised that he wished to build shoppettes and that a portion of his property was in Southlake, presently zoned Commercial. Then Charles Crook of Starnes and Asso- ciates addressed the Council and Commission relative to the planned strip shopping center. The principal concern of the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission was if adequate parking would be extended by Southlake for a Grapevine business. Dr. Brannan noted that he had an easement. No correspondence was received relative to the subject case, and the City Secretary reported that no letters or petitions were received. There was brief discussion in the Commission portion of the meting relative to the appropriateness of CN zoning for the tract as opposed to the requested CC. Following the discussion, Harlen Joyce made a motion to recommend that the Council grant the zoning as requested, and Vice Chairman Cook seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None P &Z Minutes 6 -17 -84 Page 2 ZONING APPLICATION Z84 -15 - MARK TUT[7N The next item for the Commission to consider and make an recommendation to the City Council was Zoning Application Z84 -15 submitted by Mr. Mark Tutun of Willard R. Baker Development. In the public hearing, Mr. Hardy noted that the subject area was 138.099 acres in the C. G. Starr Survey and the E. Cox Survey, being south of Big Bear Creek and north of Parker Cemetery on State Highway 121. The present zoning designations are multi- family and single family, and the requested zoning was CC for Tract 1 -A and 3 -A and R -7.5 for Tract 8. Then Mr. Hardy introduced Mr. Mark Tutun who explained the history of the tract and the reason for the "housekeeping" zoning request. There were no guests to speak and no correspondence was received relative to the subject case. In the Commission portion of the meeting Chairman Spencer complimented Mr. Tutun for following through with what was promised with the subject zoning request. There being no discussion or deliberation, Gerald Norman made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the zone change as requested, and Harlen Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None REPLAT OF TIFFANY FORREST The next item for public hearing was the replat of Tiffany Forrest for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council with the public hearing having been advertised even though, at present none would be necessary due to a change in State Law. It was noted by Mr. Eberhart that in the future this particular replat would require no public hearing; however, the City Staff was not notified of this until after the notification was sent to the newspaper. Mr. Eberhart further advised that the replat was submitted to settle a dispute between property owners over the location of a common property line. Both parties have agreed to the new location, settling the dispute, and the Staff would recommend approval. In the Commissioner's meeting, Mr. Eberhart further discussed the replat and responded to brief comments from Chairman Spencer, after which Commissioner Wilbanks made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the replat as submitted, and Commissioner Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None FINAL PLAT OF PECAN GAP Next the Commission was to consider the final plat of Pecan Gap and make a recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Eberhart noted the location of the plat, being the vicinity of Kimball Road and Dove Road and that the configuration is acceptable despite a slightly irregular shape of the land. Further, Mr. Eberhart noted that the the R -7.5 zoning designation allowed for 7,500 square foot lots and that all water and sewer facilities are available to the south and since all stipulations of the preliminary plat were covered on the final plat, Staff recommends approval. P &Z Minutes 6 -17 -84 Page 3 In answering questions, Mr. Eberhart noted that there were no problems with frontage, easements or right -of -way. Then Richard Atkins made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the replat as submitted, and Gerald Norman seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins, & Engholm Nays: None FINAL PLAT OF 114 PLACE Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the final plat of 114 Place. Mr. Eberhart advised that the subject property located at the southwest corner of Dove Road at Northwest Highway provides for necessary right - of -way in Dove and Wall, ultimately for the thoroughfare on both streets and that adequate water and sewer facilities are available in Wall and Dove. A site plan was submitted to the Site Plan Review Committee and the plat conforms to subdivision requirement; therefore, Staff recommends approval. Commission noted that the plat goes all the way to 114 near the Deusenburger. Harlen Joyce made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the plat as submitted, and Shane Wilbanks seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None Abstain: Spencer PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WILDWOOD PARK Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of Wildwood Park. Mr. Eberhart advised that the subject plat, located on the north side of Wildwood immediately east of the Catholic Church site provides for an additional 10 foot of right -of -way, that the developer will be required to extend the 8 inch water line from the intersection of Boyd and Wildwood to the project; and sewer is available from a lift station to the south and west. Further, he noted that there is a possibility that drainage easements running east and west on the back of Lots 8 and 9 will be required; and Staff recommends approval. Chairman Spencer questioned Mr. Eberhart relative to a possibility of a necessity of variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment should a drainage easement be required. Mr. Eberhart stated that it would not. There being no further discussion or comments, Vice Chairman Cook made a motion recommending that the Council approve the plat as submitted, and Gerald Norman offered a second. The prevailing vote was as follows: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE SIMONS TRACT Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of the Simmons Addition. Mr. Eberhart advised that the plat covers the property located at the southwest quadrant of Dove and Park. He noted the following stipulations P &Z Minutes 6 -17 -84 Page 4 should be met before submittal of the final plat: resolving possible site distance problems for Streets E & L, an additional 25 foot of right -of -way for Dove Road, alignment of Streets M and H to property to the south and Street H intersection with Dove Road should align at Cimmarron Trail, establishment of minimum slab elevations along the creek to the south, a sewer line extension from the Dove Lift Station #2 across Dove Road which might also need an additional pump which would need to be provided by the developer. There followed a lengthy discussion and deliberation relative to access to the property. It was the general consensus of Commissioners that access for multi- family or duplex should not be provided through the single - family district. Reference was made to the Jess Prido property and the recommendation of the Commission for Keith Cecil to allow access for the duplex development through the Woodlake Apartments. There was also discussion relative to there being more median cuts across from Park Blvd. during which Mr. Atkins expressed concern that more should not be added. Then following further deliberation, during which Mr. Wright spoke and fielded questions from the ComIImission, Mr. Richard Atkins made a motion to recommend the Council approve the plat with the stipulation that a street not be constructed from the duplex -zoned side through the single - family area to the south. Mr. Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None PRELIMINARY PLAT OF COLLEGE CREEK Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of College Creek. Mr. Eberhart briefed the Commission and guests that the subject plat, located south of Cannon Elementary School, presently zoned R -7.5 and duplex on the rear tracts has a discrepancy 260 feet north of the rear tract right -of -way line and the property lines shown on the plat, making a rezoning necessary to correspond with the plat. Mr. Eberhart noted that it was not plain if the eastern-most north -south street lined up with Drexel, which it would need to do. Staff would not be certain that College would be the appropriate place for exit and would require traffic studies prior to final plat submission as well as a drainage study because of the water generated south of State Highway 26 with the developer to be required to provide the culverts under College. City Staff would require the developer to meet the above stipulations before the final plat submittal. The Commission expressed greatest concern that any possible complication to existing traffic at Cannon Elementary would be caused by the planned development. Mr. Deacon addressed this and introduced Mr. Thomas, Traffic Engineer, who relayed findings of the traffic study performed, noting that as planned if left as planned traffic should be accommodated; however, the Commission's general consensus was that the duplex development should not begin until an exit road is extended to the east or west, requesting that Mr. Parker and Mr. Sterek submit a letter to this effect that no building permits would be sought until roads are stubbed out to State Highway 114 or College. Then, following further discussion, Vice Chairman Cook made a motion to accept the preliminary plat subject to the clean-up of zoning, the implementation of traffic studies as revised by the Planning and Zoning Commission, no building permits would be sought until either Ball or State Highway 114 roads are extended and that "no parking" restrictions be extended through Lot 3. A second was offered from Harlen Joyce and the ensuing vote was as follows: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engholm Nays: None P &Z Minutes 6 -17 -84 Page 5 PRELIMINARY PLAT OF DOVE LANDING Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the Preliminary Plat of Dove Landing. Immediately east of Park Place and zoned R -5.0, Mr. Eberhart noted the following should be resolved prior to final plat submittal: With present zoning, it is not discernible what lot sizes and areas are until they are dimensioned. Any sewer line relocation will need to be at the developer's expense. Drainage studies and utility lay -out required. Drainage easement necessary for for Summit and Dove and TP &L easements between Lots 23, 24, 17 and 18, Block 3. The Hampton extension should be tied in to Dove Road at the top of the hill. An additional 5 foot of right -of -way necessary for Dove Road. A sewer will need to be accommodated from Dove and also accommodate a third pump at Dove #2 lift station with oversizing contract from developer and minimum slab elevations established along the creek. Following discussion and comments from Thomas and Horton, Richard Atkins made a motion to recommend that the Council approve the plat subject to a provision that the lots on the cul-de -sac of Overlook Drive (Lots 1 - 12, Block 2) be deed restricted. A second was offered by Harlen Joyce, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks, Atkins & Engho]m Nays: None MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION & /OR REPORTS Chairman Spencer discussed a recent telephone conversation with Mr. Tony Wiles, and noted that the Commission should review the draft zoning ordinance and site areas needed for change. It was noted that the following areas should be addressed in scheduled Ordinance Workshop meetings in the near future: 1. "R -MF -2 - 20 (Change to 16 units per acre) 2. Parking requirements 3.

Advertising signs as opposed to billboards P &Z Minutes 6 -17 -84 Page 6 MINUTES OF THE MEETINGS OF FEBRUARY 16, APRIL 30 & MAY 1 & 15, 1984 Next the Commission was to consider the minutes of the meetings of February 16, May 15 & 30 & May 1, 1984. It was the general consensus of the Commission to table consideration of the minutes of May 1 and February 16. Members reasoned that they were unable to read these thoroughly. In considering the minutes of April 30, Peggy Engholm noted that there was not adequate information on Page 5 relative to Parcel 171 and that Page 10 of Parcel 35 Peggy Engholm noted that she had voted nay rather than aye and Norman did not vote. Then Peggy Engholm made a motion to approve the minutes as corrected, and Harlen Joyce seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman, Wilbanks & Engholm Nays: None Abstain: Atkins It was noted that in considering the minutes of May 15, there was a question relative to Page 7 at the bottom of the page.
