Chairman Ron Cook called the Quarterly Workshop Session to order at 7:00 PM. I I DAIMN M Irt" iii The Invocation was delivered by Commissioner Ery Meyer. OLD BUSINESS PROPOSED CHANGES TO LOT PLAN OF ZONING APPLICATION 89-01 The first item for the Commission to consider was Mx. George Field's presentation relative to a revised lot plan for the area of Zoning Application Z89-01 and Z89-04. Mr. Fields advised that the 16.6 acres out of the Jess Hall tract which were presently zoned "R-20", with the requested change to "R-12.5" had originally left the 8.8 acre perimeter "R-20"; however, it became apparent at the March 21, public hearing that the surrounding property owners preferred a change in zoning for the 8.8 acres as well. In describing two lot plans, Mr. Fields further noted that the northern perimeter lots, 18,000 square feet in area would very closely match the lot lines of the Marsh Lane homes adjoining their rear. Mr. Fields noted that the plan at the public hearing showed 58 lots and the new plan 51, with an average being 18.6 and the minimum being 16 thousand square feet, underground interior utilities, with perhaps the perimeter major transmission lines above ground. The plan, he said, that even though Plan I meets all requests of the neighbors, it would be better to widen the lot on the southeastern most lot, while reducing the lot widths to the north. This would increase the buffer to Hall -Johnson Road, an amenity to the subdivision, especially since the enhanced entry would be eliminated. Plan II would retain the fancy entrance, would provide a 30,000 square foot park, have deeper lots along Marsh lane and provide wider lots on the west perimeter. The plan has 53 lots instead of 51 in Plan I. Overall the lot size would be smaller. The average lot size is 16,600, with the smallest being 13,000. Custom builders in Colleyville had not had an opportunity to support or refuse the plans. Robert Hinson questioned Mr. Hardy relative to the Parks Board's preference for a park. Mr. Hardy noted that the Board would probably prefer a park, not monies in that area. There was some discussion Minutes: Planning & Zoning Can-nission, lst Quarterly Workshop: March 28, 1989 Page regarding the access to High Country going through or being eliminated. Mr. Hardy noted that the strip of land at the southwest corner to be removed from the request would require a revised legal description. The five itemss listed by property owners at the public hearing had been addressed, Dr. Walker noted. Or. Terry Walker requested that 75% masonry on all 4 sides of the houses be provided; and a neighboring property owner discussed the elevation of 'Land adjacent to his lot being high which would •- r s• eproblem if the houses were built two story. Mr. Fields noted that the two-story homes would not be as deep into the rear of the lots. The Comission's general consensus was a preference for Plan I, hoping t# convince the, builders to maintain a 2,500 square foot minimum sized hom; and Dr. Walker agreed. There was further discussion relative t# the park and overall lot sizes. The Comnission's consensus was to support Plan I, allowing the elongated front lot (taking some width from all the other lots, not just one), with minimum 2,500 square foot home (but hopefully 26) and with 75% masonry on all sides of the homes. There was no formal action taken on the item. REVTEW OF SECTION 60, SIGN STANDARDS, RELATIVE TO ALLCWIM WNW.-Te"WA The next it for public hearing was the review of Section 60, Sign Standards, and take any necessary action. Mr. Hardy advised that San Antonio was contacted relative to the "trade-off" proposal reviewed at the March 21, 1989, public hearing. He distributed the San Antonio ordinance. Mr. Hardy further requested that the Commission carefully consider all aspects involved if billboards are again allowed. The San Antonio ordinance require two signs to be removed for every new sign erected. The ordinances are tied to the Highway Beautification Act which requires a distance between the signs. Mr. Hardy noted that there are more signs involved than those noted discussed at the March 21 hearing. Ivbst of the types of signs are allowed only along freeways, and sometimes collectors. Any amendrrent to allow billboards would also affect the present prohibition of off -premise signs. The Commission then suggested that Staff take an inventory of existing loillboards, Kay Barnes noted that she had wished for an avenue to advertise Grapevine activities, but requested that the amendments not be proposed - a welcome sign would not be classified as "billboard" but a boundary Parker; however, Adrienne Leonard advised that the City of Grapevine would not be able to advertise local events unless other advertisexnents were also allowed. Following further discussion relative to new conforming signs and existing non -conforming signs, Cathy Martin made a motion to table further consideration of amending Section 60 relative to billboard signs to allow ComTunity Development Staff to inventory existing signs and the City Attorney to study the San Antonio ordinance and other legal aspects, to the meting of April 18; and Robert Hinson seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Martin, Meyer, Atchley and Hinson Nays: None Absent: Price 1gan's LUMI Next the Planning and Zoning Ccmnission was to consider providing a definition of "storage" as opposed toparking. Minutes: Planning & Zoning Commission 1st Quarterly Workshop: March 28, 1989 Page The Bruce Kaposta Conditional Use request was briefly discussed relative to outdoor storage and screening of storage area. The consensus of Commissioners was not to adopt a definition of storage.
