Page 2 P & Z Minutes July 10, 1986 . . Mr. Barfield said they plan to build a brick wall in front of this shopping area to match Nob Hill, but it would only be about 30 inches high. He said they need the commercial zoning for a shopping center. He said it was commercial on the Hurst side, but the North Richland Hills residents have no place to shop in our city. Mr. Barfield stated he feels there is a definite need for a shopping center. He said Precinct Line Road is planned for a 6 lane thoroughfare and another thoroughfare is planned to the south of Martin and there should not be any residences between Martin and this road. Mr. Barfield stated there is no Commercial zoning along Precinct Line Road on the North Richland Hill's side, but there is Commercial zoning along Precinct Line Road on the Hurst side. He said as he develops property along Precinct Line Road they will build the road. Mr. Barfield said he hopes to make this shopping center look similar to the Ridglea Shopping Center. He said he would like to have restaurant pad sites along Precinct Line Road and the shopping center across the back. Mr. Barfield said he felt this would be a nice addition to the city and he has not found any objections from the neighbors. Joan Rice, 2900 Pool, Grapevine, TX, came forward. She said she owns one half acre of this request and she would like their part zoned Commercial. She said she is not a part of the joint venture. Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . Foy Moss, 752 Spring Valley, Hurst, came forward. He said he is opposed to this rezoning. He said John Evans owns 16 acres of commercial and Herman Smith owns 30 acres of commercially zoned land and we don't need any more. ~ Page 3 p & Z Minutes July 10, 1986 . Mr. Moss stated he felt they should wait to zone anything commercial until Precinct Line Road is fixed. He said he could not see extra traffic along that road. He also stated there was a flooding problem in this area. Chairman Bowen stated that would be taken care of in the platting process. He said if they could not meet the city's platting requirements, then they could not build. . Mr. Moss stated he was concerned with all that could be put in Commercial zoning. He read out of the zoning ordinance some of the things that could be in Commercial zoning. He said he lives across the street and was concerned that there might be a high rise building put there. Mr. Moss said he could be looking at a 10 story building there. Mr. Moss asked when Precinct Line Road would be widened and asked if Nob Hill Addition was on hold or if they were under construction. Mr. Royston stated Nob Hill is not on hold and it is under construction. Mr. Moss asked if the Commission would require them to have a plat prior to the zoning of the property. Chairman Bowen stated the property had to be zoned before it could be platted. Mr. Moss stated that W. A. Porter Elementary school is at the corner of Spring Valley and Precinct Line Road and he felt the traffic would be bad for the parents bringing and picking up their children. . Bob Curry, 6517 Valley View Drive, came forward. Page 4 P & Z Minutes July 10, 1986 . Mr. Curry stated he lives a block from the property in question. He said he would not like to have a high rise office building there and he does not want another Rufe Snow. He said he previously lived in Watauga and Rufe Snow was a small street and after it was widened they started building businesses and restaurants and now you can not get down it for the traffic. Mr. Curry said there is lots of commercial going in on the Hurst side. He said he would like to put a hold on this request and let other people know about this request. Mr. Curry said he had talked to the Mayor and he was not in favor of what was going on. Ms. Nash asked Mrs. Calvert how many were contacted. . Mrs. Calvert stated there were 7 plus the City of Hurst. Mr. Curry stated they did not need any apartments there. Chairman Bowen stated the apartment zoning has been zoned that for years, but it is a small area. Mr. Curry asked how he could get this request stopped. He said he felt they should be required to have a plat. Mr. Tucker stated the Planning and Zoning Commission is only a recommending body to the City Council, only the City Council can grant zoning. He said you can also speak your wishes to the City Council. Mr. Curry asked if he needed to come with more people. Mr. Tucker said he could do however he wants to. . Chairman Bowen stated our ordinance does not require a drawing for a zoning request. ~ Page 5 P & Z Minutes July 10, 1986 . Chairman Bowen stated that any citizen could go to the City Council meeting and speak. He said they have a Citizen's Presentation at the end of every agenda. . Don Turnbull, 744 Springhill Drive, Hurst, came forward. He said normally, the City of Hurst notifies them of zoning requests in their area. He said he lives across the street from Nob Hill and the Multi-Family zoned property. He said the Commercial zoning request bothers him because of the traffic. He said he lives 3 houses from Precinct Line Road and the Tarrant Appraisal District increased the value of his property one third more, but with Commercial going in it will decrease in value. Mr. Turnbull said he likes the Agricultural zoning with the horses. He said he had rather leave it like it is or go with single family. Chairman Bowen stated the Agriculture is only a holding zoning. Mr. Turnbull said he knows it will go something else, but would prefer single family rather than Multi-Family or Commercial. Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Wood asked Ms. Rice if her property was included in this zoning request. Ms. Rice said it is a part of this request, but she is not a part of the Joint Venture.

Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Delbert Stembridge, Consulting Engineer, came forward to represent Dr. Abbott. He said this property has a severe drainage problem and it would make it too expensive to develop as Single Family zoning. Mr. Stembridge said he felt this is the proper zoning since it is next to the railroad. . Mr. Wood asked if they plan to have a spur. Mr. Stembridge said he was not sure. Mr. Schwinger asked if they had any plans for developing the property. Mr. Stembridge said they had none at this time. Mr. Wood asked if there is a need to get the zoning before there is a need to develop. Mr. Stembridge said they would like to get the zoning at this time.
