Chairman Spencer called the Commission portion of the meeting to order

and purposes of the meting.
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

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.

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:

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

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

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

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
