PAGE 3 In the Commission's deliberation session, following a brief discussion, Commission member Curtis Young's motion and Darlene Freed's second was to recommend the City Council approve Conditional Use CU91-15, and waive the specific requirements of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 47.E.2 pursuant to Section 47.F, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Martin, Young and Freed Abstain: Cook and Oliver Nayes: None Absent: Meyer and Stamos END OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING PLAT VACATION OF BEAR RUN ADDITION, PHASE I: Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the plat vacation of the Bear Run Addition. After presentation by Civil Engineer Scott Dyer, and a brief discussion, a motion by Larry Oliver and second by Cathy Martin was to recommend the City Council approve the request for the plat vacation of the Bear Run Addition, Phase I, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Martin, Young, Freed Nays: None Absent: Meyer and Stamos PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BEAR RUN ADDITION: Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of Bear Run Addition. After presentation by Civil Engineer, Scott Dyer and a brief discussion, a motion by Cathy Martin and second by Curtis Young was to recommend the City Council approve the request for the preliminary plat of the Bear Run Addition, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Martin, Young, Freed Nays: None Absent: Meyer and Stamos FINAL PLAT OF BEAR RUN ADDITION, LOT 1, BLOCK F: Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the final plat of Bear Run Addition, Lot 1, Block F. PAGE 4 After presentation by senior Civil Engineer, Larry Frassinelli and a brief discussion, a motion by Larry Oliver and second by Curtis Young was to recommend that the City Council approve the request for the final plat of the Bear Run Addition, Lot 1, Block F, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Martin, Young, Freed Nays: None Absent: Meyer and Stamos PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX B, SUBDIVISION, SECTION 2 RELATIVE TO AMENDMENT PLAT REQUIREMENTS AND FEES: Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the proposed amendments to Appendix B, Subdivision, Section 2 Relative to Amendment Plat requirements and fees. Senior Civil Engineer, Larry Frassinelli, stated that frequently, the final plat of a subdivision with its associated drainage and utility easements do not coincide with the final construction plans and final location of drainage and utility facilities. This is a result of the City of Grapevine's process allowing final platting of property prior to final approval and construction of the physical infrastructure. In the past, staff has required that the appropriate easements be prepared and dedicated by separate instrument to the City to insure that these drainage and utility facilities are within dedicated easements. More recently, staff has begun to consider requiring that an amendment plat be filed with the City and ultimately with Tarrant County to reflect the correct location of the necessary easements to provide a correct pictorial representation of the subdivision and its various easement locations. The City Code currently requires an amendment plat fee to be $138.00. In the case where an amendment plat is filed by a property owner at the initiation of the property owner, this fee should remain intact. However, in the case where the staff is requiring an amendment to reflect only the relocation of utility and drainage easements, staff feels that the appropriate fee for this application should only be the $50.00 cost which the City must pay to Tarrnat County to record the amendment plat. A motion by Cathy Martin and second by Curtis Young was to recommend the City Council approve the request for the proposed amendments to Appendix B, Subdivision, Section 2 Relative to Amendment Plat requirements and fees. The following vote prevailed. Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Martin, Young, Freed Nays: None Absent: Meyer and Stamos PAGE 5 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT TR91 -03, SUBMITTED BY HEATHERWILDE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the Tree removal permit, TR91 -03, submitted by Heatherwilde Limited Partnership.
