R. Baddaker, City Engineer and Bobbie Phillippe, Acting City Secretary also in attendance. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Duane Rogers called the meeting to order. OLD BUSINESS - DISCUSSION OF MASTER PLAN CHANGES The first order of business was for the Planning & Zoning Commission to discuss and consider changes in the Master Plan. Chairman Rogers asked each of the Committees for a progress report of their study of the Master Plan. Ron Cook (North Committee), stated that after one more meeting the North Committee should be able to present a plan to the Commission. The South Committee reported that they did considerable work and they also need more time to look at the part of town they are stydying. They will have one meeting and then present a plan to Council on March 19, 1980. Jerry Burgess made a motion to report to City Council that the Committees have no definite recommendations until the streets have been laid out or until we have some major ideas of thoroughfares in that area. Chairman Duane Rogers ruled the motion out of order and stated that after further discussion the motion would be reconsidered. East/West Thoroughfare After further discussion Jerry Burgess made a motion that we ask City Council to consider land east and west from Timberline across to Pool Road and South of the high school. Sparron Spencer seconded the motion and it prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Rogers, Burgess, Spencer, Cook Nays: None North/South Thoroughfare After a short discussion Duane Rogers made a motion that we recommend to Council to make a change to our major thorough- fare plan concerning North/South Thoroughfares that will commence at Parr Lane, go North and intersect Timberline ad- jacent to existing Oakwood Apartments and go in a Northerly -pooqaoqTqSiau umo ano go Ino PUP UT qa2 of :qaaaD xvo go squapTsaa atla aoj asnpo oq 2uio2 sT siqq aTssvLl aqq aas upo no7, -aUlAadvao oquT o� oqaAlaG SUVqSnW 01 SuTssOaO Pup POOmaT2uvl Oq 2uimoo aq TTTm swam -Javav aqq go squapTsaa aqa analsT slql JI *'7TT ,Kvmiq2iLj oq ppoa ssaoop up fq uanqaa uaTAI BuTssoao PvaqagAO aqq 01 JTvq auO Pup aTTm P 3noqv Umop 02 PTnom oiggpal lvqq Pelvis 9H 'auTTa9qmTj qv a3uvaqua @IvTP9u=T up aOJ suvTd ou aaam aaaqq quasaad IV qpqq am PTOI aq pup auiTaaqmij Luoaj LSI XPMq2Tq SUTa9jUa OTJJPaq aqj aO -0 j aa m suvTd aqi qvqm inoqu aaauT2u . a XITO 9ql q4Tm PaqTSTA I -vaau ul ITTnq aav squamqapdp aaom jT uaddpq oq SuTo2 sT ipqm go sqoadsoad aqq IV PamavTv my I Pup s:luamqapdp aqq uo auop Buiaq f?PaaTv uoTqonaq -suOO mau allq qlTm 9u'Taaqu'Tl uo 2uiopj aq TTTm am qvLlq stuaTqoad O-Eggpai qv Sum--,,IooT uaaq aAPLI I to2v auiTq autos papoq aqj aaojaq paapaddp I aouTS •aulTaaquIll 90 Pua qsva aqq uo PuPT aqq 90 SuTuoz C --d aqq qnoqv uaaouoo _Km ssaadxa oq sT STLIJ, :saaquiaN TTounoo apaa : SMOTTOJ SP S19UMOaUlOq STIOTaVA U10aj saa419T arlog p-aaa addITTTLId aiqqoq KapjaaoaS KqTo 2UTJOV I* wo tore 10 to, EIRIS =Q CA 9 auoN :sfvm aaouadS pup �000 IssaBanq Isaa2o-d :saXV :910A 2uTmOTTOJ aqj Xq PaTTVAaad IT pup uoilom aqq papuooas AooD uoU 3VTJ TVUTJ uo UMOLIS aq 01 L qOq uo luamasPH a2vuTeaG L1ITm UMOIIS SP IvTd flaeu'UITT9ad 9LIq aAoaddp 04 TTOUnOD KqTD a-qa 01 UOTlVPu9MMO3aa V 9AVLu UOTSSIUUOD 2UTUOZ '9 2UTUUPTd aql qpqq UoTqoM v apvui sse2anq faaaf uoissn-osip jaiaq v aaqgV - saqvqsg mOPP9N av9TD u-1 1VTd XaPUTUITTaad V JO UOTjVaaPTSUo3 SVM UOTSSTMMOD 2UTUOZ 29 2u'uuvTd 9ql aaojaq amoo oq ssauTsnq go aap ao jxaU aqj SSHNISflq MHN aaouadS :sfvN S292ou pup ssaBanq .)IoOD :safe :910A 2UTMOITOJ aqq fq PaTTVAaad IT pup uoTqotu aqq papuooas ssa2anq faaaf -UVTd v qjTm --,,Iopq qaodaa TTTm am aav sppoa aaailm mous sn qaT TjTm ITounoo jT Inq PuPT PalluTdun aqj uo uvTd ou aAVq UOTSSTUIMOD 2uTuOZ 29 2u'uuvTd aql qvq3 096T "7 qOaPN uo TTOunOD ol laodaa am qvqq UOTIOLU V appLu ->1000 Uou -aq oq eap sqaaals aaagm qno puTj am TTqun TTOunOD 01 uOTIvPuammOO@a v a-.,Iuul Oq aTqTssod 91 IT T9ag IOU OP Ka-qI amll sTqj IV qvtlq UOTSSTUIMOD 2uTuOZ 29 2uTuuvTd aqq 90 snsuaOuOO Tvagua2 9q:j OSTV sT II -sqquOul 9 uvql a9sOTO paqppdn uPTJ a9qsvN aLIq aAVq Ol a�iTT PTnom f,-a-qj qpqq paooaa aqq aog pelvis uoissimmoo aqj auON :sfpm AooD pup aaouadS 'ssa2anq Isaa2o-d :saKV :aqOA 2ulmOTT09 aqq f,q P9TTVAaad IT PUP U0140ul aql papuooas aaouadS uoaapLjs .2upqsn;q oq qqaoN anulquoo pup aqUUVM I feel that for the safety of our children walking to school and playing in the neighborhood this would be disastrous. For this reason among many more, I appeal to you to stop the approval of all permits until this and other problems have been worked out on this problem. I appreciate your consideration on this matter and I am confident that the other members of the Oak Creek Estates Organization concur. Sincerely, Dan Cameron Dear City Council & Planning & Zoning I am greatly disturbed about the zoning in the Timberline and Oakcreek Estates area of Grapevine. We chose to make our biggest investment of a single family home in Grapevine because of the area's rich, aesthetic and pleasing environment. I am not opposed to growth but I feel it should be well planned. I do not want to see our City become a "mishmash" like Irving or Arlington. If I liked their sprawled, growth for growths sake approach, I would have moved there. It is my opinion that we do not have enough zoning classifications. We should revise and add more zoning classes to cover high density of apartments, medium density (like garden apartments of 4 to 8 units per acre), and low density for single-family homes. A buffer zone could be used of duplexes, condominiums, etc., as a backup to single family areas. Apartments are a good mix in commercial area. Yes, we need to provide housing for those who cannot afford houses. But, not at the sacrifice of the community as a whole. It is my hope that you can and will come up with a good, reasonable compromise to the present zoning discrepancies. Sincerely, Carol R. Davis 2510 Briarwood Grapevine, Texas 76051 The members of the Oak Creek Homeowner Association are concerned about the current developments along Timberline Road. Our major concern is that of "controlled growth" and not of uncontrolled ex- pansion. A well defined plan of single family, low density, multi -family and commercial zoning is the concern here. We feel that the current trend is to develop high density housing in an area not in accordance with the Master Plan.

Many groups and individuals including representing our own Homeowners Association, have voiced their opinions on this topic. As members of our association, but more importantly as individual citizens of the City of Grapevine, we are please to see that the ultimate result of these efforts was the initiation of several zoning changes, which should mutually benefit the Timberline Drive area residents and the City as well. It is reassuring to realize that our city officials are attune to the needs and desires of the constituency which they represent. We are also pleased to note that tonight's Agenda for the Planning and Zoning Commission contains a dis- cussion to establish a date for the Public Hearing concerning the unplatted areas along Timberline Drive. The consideration to possibly rezone certain tracts within these remaining areas has been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance to the citizens of our area. Of particular interest is the zoning of the tracts which lie both north and south of Timberline Drive, between Tanglewood Drive and Highway 157. It is this area which we consider to be of greatest concern, because of its location and because of the potential future problems which we feel could stem from the issuance of additional R-3 multi family building permits along this strip. Examples of these problems are traffic conjestion, sewer system capacity, crim, overloading current schools, tax bases which would have to be supplemented. With the high density apartments currently to the immediate north and now southeast of our subdivision, we feel that we have contributed our fair share to the necessary "balance" of single family versus multi -family ratio within the City of Grapevine. After completion of the Oak Wood Apartments on Timberline Drive, there will be over 800 units out of Grapevine's 1200 total apartment units, which constitutes over two-thirds of this total, in our immediate area. Based on the aforementioned beliefs, the Oak Creek Homeowners Association does respectfully request that (1) the subjects of Grapevine's overall "Master Plan" and the zoning of the remaining Timberline Drive area be scheduled for Public Hearings in order to enable all interested parties to voice their opinions on these matters. (2) A recommendation be sent forth by the Planning & Zoning Commission to the City Council which would rezone the current R-3, C-2 areas to either R-2 or R-1 along the Timberline Drive.
