ITEM 1 A. CITIZENS REQUEST, MR. JACK JACKOWSKI Mr. Jack Jackowski, 4113 Grace Lane, President of the Westover Homeowners Association, addressed the City Council concerning the proposed development of an apartment complex at the intersection of Hall-Johnson Road and Heritage Avenue. He stated that over 200 residents in the area had signed a petition opposing the proposed apartment complex citing concerns that the proposed development would cause a decline in homeowner property values, increased traffic and increased burden on the elementary schools in the area. He stated the residents would like to see the property rezoned to single-family as apartments are not in the best interest of the community. There are other alternatives to the apartments which would be in the best ' interest of the community as a whole and acceptable to the various parties including the developer. He stated the citizens present and those who signed the petition want to make the City Council aware that they want to open the dialogue between the 10/04/94 homeowners and the proposed developers and to make the City Council aware of the opposition to the proposed apartment complex. ITEM 1 B. CITIZENS REQUEST, MS. SUE TROYAN Ms. Sue Troyan, 2612 Valleywood Drive, Vice President of the Westover Homeowners Association, addressed the City Council on behalf of the homeowner association as well as other neighborhoods concerning the proposed development of an apartment complex at Hall-Johnson Road and Heritage Avenue. She stated that more than 200 residents in the area do not have any objection to neighborhood commercial or community commercial development of the tract being discussed. She expressed hope that the City Council would participate in discussions to find a mutually beneficial plan to all involved (City Council, citizens and developer) to maximize the City's tax base, maintain property values and find a constructive alternative to the proposed multi-family dwelling. She commented that citizens would like to see a small portion of the tract developed as single-family residential. Mayor Tate responded that during previous public hearings on the proposed land use map for State Highway 121 Corridor, residents in the area expressed opposition to proposed commercial development in the area. Ms. Troyan responded that when faced between a choice of an apartment complex and commercial development, the residents in the area would chose the commercial development. She again expressed the willingness of the residents to work with the City Council and the developer to develop a long range plan to give the City a broader tax base and maintain property values. ITEM 1 C. CITIZENS REQUEST. MR. ALLAN MCKILLIP Mr. Allan McKillip, 4128 Grace Lane, expressed the concerns of the residents in the area of Hall-Johnson Road and Heritage Avenue relative to the proposed apartment complex. He stated concerns regarding the impact of an apartment complex on schools and property values. He requested that if the developer maintains the multi- family zoning, that he propose something that would be in harmony with the current neighborhood. Mayor Tate responded that most developers work with the citizens and the government in trying to address the common interest of those concerned. 2 10/04/94 ITEM 1 . PRESENTATION, CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW OF PROPOSED COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES CENTER AND PROPOSED OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL Director of Parks & Recreation Douglas Evans presented the concept plans for the proposed Community Activities Center and proposed outdoor swimming pool that will be considered by voters at the October 29, 1994 bond election. Mr. Evans reviewed the conceptual design as prepared by HKS of Dallas and the two proposed site plans of the Community Activities Center. He stated two issues were addressed during the research of site location: central location for access to all citizens and placement of the facility on City owned property. He stated the two potential sites (owned by the City) are northeast and due north of the Grapevine Municipal Library and that approximately four to five acres would be required for the facility and adequate parking. The northeast location, currently undeveloped, would have primary access from Nash Street which could cause traffic flow problems at the intersection of Main Street and Nash Street. The property due north would be more accessible in that the street west of the Grapevine Library could be extended to the north to allow access to the parking lot of the proposed Community Activities Center; however, this location would require the in-line hockey rink to be relocated to the east of its current location, which would be a minimal cost. Mr. Evans reviewed the conceptual design of the outdoor swimming pool as prepared by Schrickel & Rollins. He noted the preferred location of the swimming pool would be in southeast Grapevine on property owned by Grapevine/Colleyville Independent School District adjacent to the new Grapevine Elementary School on Hall-Johnson Road. Included in the proposal is a 25 meter fitness leisure pool, a zero depth to 2' wading/learn to swim pool, shade shelters, concession area, bathhouse and a filtration building. He noted access would be off Hall-Johnson Road and Hughes Road and that the elementary school's 100 car parking facility would be utilized. Council Member Pittman reminded Staff of the potential impact of traffic on Nash Street and Main Street due to the expansion of OmniAmerican operations and requested consideration of a traffic light at that intersection. City Manager Petty responded there has been enough bond money budgeted for improvements to Nash Street. There was no action taken by the City Council. ITEM 2. PUBLIC HEARING. MOVE-IN BUILDING REQUEST M1694-01 , GE CAPITAL MODULAR SPACE Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open. Community Development Director H. T.
