I.-mv Me) W •. IS)RINSOMPTNINN The first item for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission was the above captioned replat. Stan Laster explained the purpose of this replat. After a brief period of questioning by the Commission Members a motion was made by Catherine Martin to recommend that Council approve this replat. This motion was seconded by Gil Traverse, and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Martin, Traverse, Atkins, Cook, Engholm, Meyer and Atchley Nays: None The purpose of this final plat is to receive a building permit. Tammy Hardy presented the concept plan for review by the Commission Members. After a short period of discussion a motion was made by Peggy Engholm to recommend that Council approve this final plat with a second from Gil Traverse. Prior to the vote, Chairman Atkins noted that the final statement on the plat information sheet should read, "This amount shall be paid prior to the issuance of the building permit". The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Engholm, Traverse, Atkins, Cook, Engholm, Atchley and Meyer Nays: None DFW NORTH BUSINESS PARK - PRELIMINARY PLAT The next item for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission was the Preliminary Plat of the D/FW North Business Park. Per Stan Laster - the owners are starting the platting process specifically to get the tree removal permit. This tract is adjacent to the Northport tract which was perviously platted. Questions arose with regard to the drainage channel on this property. Per City Staff - approval has been received from FEMA and Planning & Zoning January 20, 1987 Page 2. construction plans have been approved by Staff. Staff feels that the channel is adequate using the City Drainage Ordinance and HEC II analysis. At this time, there were questions addressed to erosion control to the channel itself. "Does our ordinance cover erosion?" Chairman Atkins then asked if the Drainage Ordinance was a part of the Zoning Ordinance. Per Chris Caso of the City Attorney's Off ice, the City's Engineering Department is currently reviewing wording for erosion control as part of the Drainage Ordinance, and is believed to be ready to adopt this wording. The present ordinance does have wording specifying that sides of channels must be sodded to help prevent erosion. After further discussion relating to the channel, a motion was made by Larry Atchley to recomend that Council approve this preliminary plat. To this motion a second was received by Catherine Martin, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Atchley, Martin, Atkins, Cook, Engholm, Traverse and Meyer Nays: None The final item for discussion was the proposed amendments to the 1980 Ccmprehensive Master Plan. Tommy Hardy referred to "red" area as Budgens Street between in Street and Dooley Street. All of this area is presently zoned R-7.5, single fan -Lily. Staff feels that this area should not have been zoned R-7.5 in the first place as it is more suited for commercial. One of the lots is already zoned commercial. This was done prior to the 1984 rezoning. There is therefore a direct conflict with the zoning now in place. There followed a short period of discussion with regard to the various sections of the City that are actually in a flood plain. Two areas in particular were mentioned, ie., areas near Los Robles subdivision and areas near the proposed S.H 360. As this item was for discussion only, no vote was taken. Updated Thor )ughLaLe Plan - Tommy Hardy reminded the Commission that they must make a recommendation with regard to the Thoroughfare Plan at the February 17th joint meeting with City Council. There followed more discussion with regard to Dove Road East and Pool Road. One of the questions raised to be asked Freese & Nichols was, "What is the maximum amount of right-of-way needed for Northwest Highway - for four lanes and possibly more lanes and is that right-of-way available at this time." Also with the maximum number of lanes on Northwest Highway, will it carry the traffic without the Dove Road extension? There was also discussion with regard to Dove Road East as it relates to the Corps of Engineers property. It was then mentioned that perhaps City Council needs to formally request the Corps of Engineers' ruling on any possible extension of Dove Road to the east across their property. It was suggested that this, too, be added to questions for Freese & Nichols - Having the City make a formal request to the Corps of Engineers for possible use of their property for the Dove Road East extension before making this a part of the updated Thoroughfare Plan. Procedure of filing Zoning Cases with Variance Requests - Marcy Ratcliff, Planning Technician, explained to the ' Planning and Zoning Commission that there were three (3) possible scenarios for procedure for zoning changes with variances. After discussing all three, the consensus seemed to favor going with scenario number 2. No vote was taken as this was more for information only. American Planning Association - Tommy Hardy spoke with regard to an American Planning Association Conference to be held on April 25th through the 29th in New York City. He advised that there is enough money budgeted Planning and Zoning January 20, 1987 Page 3. for one member of the Planning and Zoning Commission to go to this conference. Mr. Hardy needs a decision on who will be attending as he would like to book the flights at least three (3) days in advance. One Staff person will also attend. The members will discuss this conference and will advise Mr. Hardy as to which one will attend. ALI As there was no further business for discussion or consideration by the Planning and Zoning Conraission, a ration was made by Ron Cook to adjourn. This motion was seconded by Larry Atchley and prevailed as follows: Ayes: Cook, Atchley, Atkins, Engholm, Martin. Traverse and Meyer Nays: None The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:00 P.M.
