OLD BUSINESS Z87-01 - JOHN EVANS - ZONING APPLICATION The first item for consideration was the revised concept plan for Z87-01 submitted by Mr. John Evans. Chairman Atkins stated that he would like to reaffirm a commitment that he had made to Tommy Hardy following the meeting of February 17, 1987; that being that in the future the concept plan acted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission must be the concept plan originally submitted by the appropriate deadline. This is in order for Staff to have sufficient time to hold a T.R.C. meeting of the concept plan prior to any Planning and Zoning Commission action. Chairman Atkins then asked for any comments from the Commission Members and Staff. This item is F.Y.I. only and there is no action to be taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Sharron Spencer asked if the Commission had considered requiring some sort of a legal instrument addressing the shared parking - deed restricting it and maybe be a party to it so that if those tracts were sold off the purchaser or new owner could not preclude his adjacent neighbors from using the parking. Chairman Atkins replied that "no" the Commission has not addressed that. The Commission did address requiring part of lot 3 be paved along with lot 2 which is to be developed first. Chairman Atkins further stated that perhaps it was not to late to take this suggestion up at Council level. Z87-02 - HENRY S. MILLER (REVISED CONCEPT PLAN) The next item for consideration was a revised concept plan submitted by Henry S. Miller. There was discussion with regard to the changes reflected on the revised concept plan, after which, Chairman Atkins asked if the T.R.C. list confirmed that this zoning change was not in compliance with the City's Master Plan. The answer to this question was that it is not in compliance. Referring to the Master Plan requirement under Goal 2, Objective 1, Policy 1-3 on page 33 of the Master Plan, Chairman Atkins asked if Staff could demonstrate for the Commission that the applicant can meet the policies contained in the plan, or can Staff address for the Commission why the applicant was not required to include a proposal to Planning and Zoning March 2, 1987 Page 2. amend the plan. Another question posed was regarding the legality of the application if it is not in compliance with the Master Plan. Adrienne Leonard, City Attorney's Office, stated that the Master Plan is merely a guideline. Amendments should be used to make it more consistent and more legal. Also regarding Policy 1.2 or, Page 75, Chairman Atkins read from this section with regard to ratio of land uses. Was this calculated as to what impact this change in zoning would have on our land use plan? Again it would appear that the applicant should submit a recommendation for an amendment to the Master Plan. These are just a few comments that Chairman Atkins had before beginning the deliberations. The following persons were present and spoke against the project itself: Ed Yatsco, Peggy Yatsco and Mr. Hearne. (It should be noted that these persons were permitted to speak as they were not properly notified of the Public Hearing which was held February 17, 1987. Two petitions containing signatures for individuals against this zoning change request were presented at this time from the Brookside subdivision.) At this point in the meeting there was much discussion regarding traffic at the intersection of Park Blvd. and Northwest Hwy. The homeowners residing in Brookside subdivision were concerned with being unable to access to Northwest Hwy. from their subdivision. One of the individuals present inquired into what the benefits to the taxpayers of Grapevine would be if this development were built. After a lengthy period of discussion from the individuals present in the audience, Chairman Atkins closed the Public Hearing and called for deliberation by the Planning and Zoning Members. During the deliberation by the Commission the following items were discussed: What would the traffic situation be at this intersection at build out in the northwest portion of the City? Do the improvements the applicant is offering enhance the situation in this portion of the City? Definitions of the current zoning and the requested zoning change, and how each would affect this particular area. Can Pad C & D share drive as is shown on the plan for Pad A & B? Chairman Atkins noted that if the Planning and Zoning Commission does not like something about a plan, then perhaps they could work with applicant to try to get improvements to the plan. This would possibly avoid a denial recommendation, in some cases, from the Planning and Zoning Commission. He asked all members to consider his suggestion. There was further discussion with regard to the TRC list showing that this is not in compliance with the Master Plan. Again more reference to policies as stated in the Master Plan. After the above mentioned period of discussion, a motion was made by Ron Cook to table this request for Staff to obtain information showing that they (the applicant) conform to Policy 1.2 , page 75 of the Master Plan and page 33, (goal 2, objective 1, policy 1-3) for consideration of this presentation in a Public Hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission level only. Ervin Meyer offered a second to this motion. At this point after the motion, and before the voting, there was more discussion with regard to this case and curb cuts possibly being combined and shared with various pads. The feeling was that there are too many curb cuts both on Northwest Highway and on the Park Blvd. proposed extension. Chairman Atkins at this time called for the Members to vote on the motion and second before them, which was as follows: Ayes: Cook, Meyer, Atkins, Atchley, Traverse Nays: Engholm, Martin Planning and Zoning March 2, 1987 Page 3. After the vote, there followed further deliberation between the members again with concern over curb cuts and the possibility of either combining or sharing of same or removal of one or more. A motion was made by Peggy Engholm to bring back the case tabled by previous motion, and a second was offered by Catherine Martin. The motion prevailed as follows: Ayes: Engholm, Martin, Atkins, Cook, Traverse and Meyer Nays: Atchley Chairman Atkins then requested another motion on the case. A motion was then made by Peggy Engholm to recommend denial as this is an inappropriate land use and is in conflict with the City's Master Plan. A second to this motion was made by Catherine Martin and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Engholm, Martin, Atkins and Meyer Nays: Cook, Atchley and Traverse DISCUSSION OF THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN The next item for discussion by the Planning and Zoning Commission was the updated Thoroughfare Plan as prepared by Freese & Nichols. The commission is to discuss and then make a recommendation to the Council with regard to this updated Thoroughfare Plan. Tommy Hardy spoke to the members and briefly stated the purposes of the update. This update is modeled after the City Zoning Map, to include all phases of the zoning. This update will also help in the future by showing what the right-of-way and paving sections should be on the arterials shown on this updated Thoroughfare Plan. This update will also help Staff in the upcoming Capital Improvement Program. There followed a lengthy period of discussion between the Members, City Staff, Frees & Nichols and the City Attorney's Office. Most of the discussion centered on Pool Road as recommended by the updated Thoroughfare Plan, and also Dove Road's eastern extension. The discussion regarding Pool was mainly centered around the right-of-way necessary to widening this particular roadway, and whether or not the City of Colleyville would also be contributing land for any future right-of-way necessary for this widened roadway. Most of the discussion with regard to Dove Road extension was the need for this extension. It was mentioned that if Northwest Highway were widened to accommodate more traffic volume, then why would it be necessary to even consider the extension of Dove Road to the east. Mark Mendez of Freese & Nichols noted that Dove Road would be the only other east/west arterial within the northern portion of the City other than Northwest Highway. The members questioned the need or necessity for the Dove Road extension. They further inquired as to the Staff's dealings with the Corps of Engineers concerning the east extension of Dove Road since this roadway crosses Corps property at several locations. Has the Corps indicated that they will give the City permission to build over their lands. At the end of this discussion a motion was made by Gil Traverse to recommend that Council adopt the updated Thoroughfare Plan with the exception of tabling the Dove Road extension. Ron Cook seconded this motion. Prior to any vote on this motion, Gil Traverse withdrew his previous motion. The second was also withdrawn. More discussion followed with particular attention to the Dove Road extension and how the Commission's recommendation should be worded. A motion was made at this time by Larry Atchley, to recommend that Council adopt the Thoroughfare Plan with the amendment that the Dove Road extension is eliminated not tabled, based on the fact that they can not get a consensus of opinion, public input is totally opposed to this extension and uncertainty about right-of-way through the Corps' property. A second to Planning and Zoning March 2, 1987 Page 4. this motion was made by Peggy En-gholm, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Atchley, Engholm, Atkins, Martin and Meyer Nays: Cook and Traverse This is for consideration of Section 31, LI, Light Industrial dealing with Freight Forwarders and the definitions of same as a conditional use. After a very brief discussion of this amendment, a motion was accepted from Catherine Martin to recommend that Council accept these amendments. A second was made to this motion by Gil Traverse. Prior to voting, Catherine Martin amended her motion as follows: To recommend that Council hold a public hearing to consider the amendments to Section 31 and Section 12. Gil Traverse amended his second and the motion prevailed as follows: Ayes: Martin, Traverse, Atkins, Cook, Atchley, Meyer and Engholm Nays: None The Planning and Zoning Commission is to next consider the minutes of the meeting of February 9, 1987. As there were no additions or corrections to these minutes, a motion was made by Ervin Meyer to accept these minutes as submitted. A second was made by Peggy Engholm and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Meyer, Engholm, Atkins, Cook, Martin and Traverse Nays: None Abstain: Atchley Marcy Ratcliff referred to Sign Ordinance in each members packet, and advised all present that this is the final copy. This is the adopted final ordinance. Please replace the old ordinance and replace with this newly adopted Sign Ordinance. As there was no further business for discussion, a motion was made by Larry Atchley to adjourn this workshop meeting. A second to this motion was made by Peggy Engholm, which prevailed as follows: Ayes: Atchley, Engholm, Atkins, Cook, Martin, Traverse and Meyer Nays: None PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS ON THIS THE &DAY OF I 1987. 7 APPROVED: Chairman ATTEST: Secreta /P STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF TARRANT CITY OF GRAPEVINE The Planning and Zoning Commission for the City of Grapevine, Texas met in a Joint Public Hearing with the City Council at approximately 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, April 21, 1987 in Council Chambers, 307 West Dallas Road, and at approximately 9:00 P.M. met in Regular Session in Room #204, 307 West Dallas Road with the following persons present, to wit: Richard Atkins Chairman Ron Cook Vice -Chairman Peggy Engholm.

NEW BUSINESS J. M. WILLIAMS/DELI-MART - Z87-04 & CU87-01 The first item for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission was a requested zoning change from "CN" to "CC" for 1.735± acres located on the northeast corner of Ira E. Woods Avenue and Mustang Drive. Also to be considered along with this zoning change is a Conditional Use Application for the sale of gasoline and sale of alcoholic beverages (beer) for off -premise consumption. The applicant has removed the Car Wash from the Concept Plan mylar in order for the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider this request at this time. With the removal of the Car Wash, the Concept Plan now meets all of the standards for "CN" zoning. The applicant has withdrawn the request for "CC" zoning at this time. The applicant may return at a later date for the requested rezoning of the entire six acre tract. At this time the applicant is asking that the CU application be considered as outlined above. After considerable discussion between the Members with regard to the sale of alcoholic beverages (beer) at this location (at the gateway to the high school) and also adjacent to the parking lot for the stadium, a motion was made by Ron Cook to deny the Conditional Use Permit for the sale of alcohol beverages for off -premise consumption, and to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the gasoline pumps. A second to this motion was made by Peggy Engholm., and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Cook, Engholm, Atkins, Martin, Meyer and Traverse Nays: Atchley Z87-05 LOU HILLMAN The next item for deliberation by the Planning and Zoning Commission was the requested zoning change from R-33 (Duplex) to RMF -2 (Multi -Family) on the 1.3 acre site at the northeast corner and at the deadend of McPhearson, west of Park Blvd. Lou Hillman was present to speak for this application. After a review of this request and discussion the consensus seemed to be that the applicant may wish to remove some of the units which might also remove some of the reasons for some of the variances. A motion was made by Catherine Martin to table this requested zoning change to the May 19, 1987 Planning and Zoning April 21, 1987 Page 2. meeting in order for the applicant to submit a new concept plan and an updated list of variances requested. A second to this motion was made by Ervin Meyer, and the motion prevailed as follows: Ayes: Martin, Meyer, Atkins, Cook, Engholm, Atchley and Traverse Nays® None M After a brief period of discussion, a motion was made by Catherine Martin to recommend that Council approve this final plat, keeping the current zoning of "U".

There was some discussion with regard to the drive and Marcy Ratcliff outlined the variances that had already been granted by the Board of Zoning Adjustment. After this discussion, a motion was made by Ron Cook to recommend that Council approve this replat as represented on the mylar. The plat in the individual packets was prior to the variances granted by the BZA. This motion was seconded by Peggy Engholm, and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Cook, Engholm, Atkins, Martin, ATchley Meyer and Traverse Nays: None This plat is for an approximately 322 lot, R-7.5 subdivision immediately adjacent to North Dooley Street on the west side and Murrell Road on the east side. Present to represent this plat was Joe Wright - Developer. Doug Eberhart of the Engineering Division outlined this plat for the Planning and Zoning Commission Members and further mentioned that it had been requested by both the Fire Chief and the Police Chief that this subdivision have another entrance/exit for better fire and police protection. Both indicated that they would like this entrance/exit through to Main Street (Murrell Road). Comments were made at this time by Mr. Wright that he would prefer to not have any entrance/exit onto Murrell Road. He further stated that he does not want this subdivision to tie into the lake traffic. Mr. Wright further commented on several points listed on the Staff's Plat Check List. After much discussion with regard to entrances and/or exits to this subdivision and discussion dealing with the flowage easement shown on this plat, a motion was made by Catherine Martin to recommend that Council approve this Preliminary Plat with staff comments being addressed (especially comments by Chief Powers) before the Final Plat comes before the Planning and Zoning Commission. A second to this motion was made by Peggy Engholm, and the motion prevailed by the following vote. Ayes: Martin, Engholm, Atkins, Cook, Atchley Traverse and Meyer Nays: None The final item for discussion by the Planning and Zoning Commission was a Tree Removal Permit requested by DFW North Business Park.
