Eric Wilhite gave an overview of City Council decisions for cases from the last Planning
& Zoning meeting. The request from Tho Thi Dinh at 7917 Glenview Drive was
approved for the zoning change. She will have a dress shop and retail strip center at
this location. Tho Thi Dinh is currently in negotiations with the owners of the property to
the West. Mr. Wilhite stated this would allow her to expand her site and allow for better

access and parking. The final plat for the same property (at 7917 Glenview) was
approved by City Council. If she purchases the property to the west it would be
possible that she will be requesting another zoning change and re-plat to combine both
properties together.
The Request to replat the lot in the Mollie B. Collins Addition on Smithfield Road was
approved. The Preliminary Plat for Fredeking Addition was approved.
Mr. Johnson requested that the RI-PD on Hightower be heard by City Council when
they meet in August.
City Council upheld the Planning & Zoning Commissions decision to deny John
Barfield's request for a zoning change from "C-1" to "R-2" in the 8700 block of North
Tarrant Parkway.
Mike Benton asked if Tho Thi Dinh purchased the additional property to the west if she
would be required to replat the entire property?
Eric Wilhite said no but in order to accomplish what she wants with the property it would
be beneficial. The property to the west is currently zoned "R-2". It would be necessary
to request a zoning change for that property if she integrates it into the development as
commercial. Once she requests the zoning change she can also replat and combine
the lots into one large lot.
The following committee members recited the Oath of Office led by Eric Wilhite: Don
Bowen, Kelly Gent, Mark Haynes, Dianna Madar, and Steven Cooper.
Eric Wilhite said that there is money available in the budget for the Planning & Zoning
Commission members to attend planning workshops. Chad will email links for the
information on the available workshops. If interested please contact our office for
arrangements to be made.
Chairman Shiflet asked if the State is still requiring the one hour video from the Attorney
General?
Eric Wilhite said that he would check with George Staples or Patricia Hutson and find
out.
Kelly Gent said that he was called last year about a meeting but was out of town so he
wasn't able to attend.
Chairman Shiflet said that it would be beneficial for Kelly Gent and Dianna Madar to
attend.
