Chairman Bowen stated there is a conflict with items #1 and #5. He said the Commission feels the alignment of Bursey Road should be resolved before the Commission acts. Chairman Bowen said if the alignment is not resolved, the Commission will have to decide where the road should go. Owen D. Long, one of the owners in B. H. & L. Joint Venture, came forward. He said he would like to speak regarding item #1. He said they have their zoning already approved for this site, but the zoning for item #5 has yet to be approved by the City Council. Mr. Long said he had been advised that you could not come in for platting until you get the zoning approved. . Page 2 P & Z Minutes July 24, 1986 . Mr. Long stated they aligned Bursey Road with the existing Fair Oaks Subdivision and made it straight across to miss an existing lake which will be a retention pond. He said if they made a curvature, the city would not like it. Mr. Long stated he called Mr. Perkins to set up a meeting regarding item #5 and Mr. Perkins said he would draw up some sketches and get back with him, but he had not heard from him. Mr. Long said he requests the Commission act on this preliminary plat. He said if he had to move Bursey Road, he would lose approximately 7 lots. Mr. Long said they could have come in sooner with this preliminary plat, but they wanted to be sure they had Green Valley Raceway shut down. . Chairman Bowen asked Mr. Royston about the zoning of item #S. Mr. Royston stated the zoning had been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and would be heard by the City Council on August 11th. . Dick Perkins with Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. came forward to represent Mr. Lynch. He said they had applied for zoning on this property since last October. He said the problems have been with the City Council. Mr. Perkins said they have requested R-2 and R-3 zoning which has been approved by P & Z and he feels this is what the City Council wants. He said they applied for Commercial zoning along Davis Boulevard after they had received the Multi-Family zoning and at that time there was a discussion of the alignment of Bursey Road through the Commercial area. Mr. Perkins stated the 19± acres of Commercial was equally split. He said they feel that moving Bursey Road over would limit access to the northern property. ~ Page 3 P & Z Minutes July 24, 1986 . Mr. Perkins stated he visited with Long Star Gas Company and agreed to move their line at a cost of $39,000 to be adjacent to Bursey Road. Mr. Perkins said he called the Fire Department and discussed the Lone Star Gas easement with them. He said the Fire Department agreed they had rather have the line adjacent to the road in case of a leak. Mr. Perkins stated they would also lose 7 to 9 lots if they change the alignment of Bursey Road. He said they are prepared to move immediately to develop the property. . Mr. Long came forward. He said if the zoning was approved with the street alignment, then theirs was approved also. He said the original Master Plan showed Bursey Road where item #5 shows it, but item #1 shows the revised Master Plan which matches Fair Oaks plat. Mr. Long said if Mr. Perkins is paying to relocate the gas line, why not relocate it to match Mr. Long's. Mr. Long said he does not plan to move the gas line. Mr. Schwinger asked Mr. Long and Mr. Perkins to come over and show the difference in the alignment. Chairman Bowen stated the Commission needs to either postpone these requests or decide on them tonight. Mr. Long said he would appreciate the Commission's decision tonight. He said he remembers a plat being submitted before the zoning was approved. He said the zoning was denied and they went to court and the court agreed the plat was valid. . Mr. Perkins stated he did not recall there was a dedicated alignment of Bursey. Page 4 P & Z Minutes July 24, 1986 . Chairman Bowen said it was predictated by the Fair Oaks plat. Mr. Perkins stated they have zoning lines which need to be considered. He said if they move Bursey Road, they would have to request another zoning change. Mr. Perkins said he did not feel a compromise is required. He said he feels the issue is the Commercial zoning alignment and the Lone Star Gas easement. Mr. Tucker said they could put in an "s" curve. Mr. Perkins said it would put the curve too close to Davis Boulevard. . Chairman Bowen stated that both applicants have requested the Commission decide tonight on the items. Mr. Tucker stated there are pros and cons on both items. He said item #5, there would not be a major curve, but Mr. Long is stuck with where he must start the road. Mr. Tucker said the Commission had also requested R-l zoning with retention ponds. Chairman Bowen stated they would consider items #1 and #5. 1. PS 86-28 Request of B. H. & L. Joint Venture for preliminary plat of The Valley Addition, Section 1.

He said he feels Mr. Long should also be responsible for the realignment of the road. Chairman Bowen stated the Commission had already made their decision. Mr. Perkins said he thought the Commission approved Mr. Long's plat subject to the realignment. He said he feels Mr. Long should have to compromise with him. Chairman Bowen stated that was not the way the Commission voted. Mr. Perkins asked if the City Engineer stated in his letter about us getting together and working out an alignment of Bursey. He said he was told it would be in both letters. Mr. Perkins stated he was offended that it did not appear in the letter.
