Councilman Davis asked if they make a curb cut on Colorado, would they need the building line. ~ Page 3 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Mr. Wilder said they had talked with the City Staff regarding how they plan to face the buildings. He said they are requesting they be allowed to have a 25 foot building line on the front and rear and a 10 foot on one side and not show any sideyard on the west. Mr. Wilder said in item #6, they have problems with requiring Arco Pipeline to approve their plans. He said they have talked with Arco several times and don't feel they will have any problems, but they do not feel they should have to approve our plans.

Page 4 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Mr. Hedgcoth said their proposed new channel will be smooth earth lined with grass embankments. He said since the attractiveness of the development will be improved by the channel, the side slopes have been designed where they can be mowed. Mr. Hedgcoth said the developer will maintain the grass along and in the channel as a part of the regular landscaping for the project. Mr. Hedgcoth said item 7 regarding fire coverage, they will furnish adequate fire protection; item 8, the sewer line will be placed on the plat. . Mr. Hedgcoth said item 9 regarding pro rata, the developer agrees to pay his pro rata share of the existing sewer line that is utilized for this development, but feel it would be unjust for him to be required to pay for lines he will not be using, and also, the owner dedicated the land for these lines to the city at no charge. He said the developer feels he should not be required to pay pro rata for sewer lines that cross his property but would not be used. Mr. Hedgcoth said Mr. Beckham will be happy to pay for the ones he uses. Mr. Hedgcoth said items 10 and 11 they agree to. Councilman Davis asked how they propose to service Lot 3.

Mr. Hedgcoth stated the figures are the same as were used for the plat to the north of this property. Mr. Hannon said the Planning and Zoning Commission can not waive the payment of pro rata.

Mr. Long said they would agree to whatever the city would want them to do.

He said with reference to #5, he has been working with adjacent property owners and told them we plan to drain all the lots to Davis Boulevard; with reference to #7 regarding the street at the back of this subdivision, they do not feel they should be obligated to escrow funds for future street improvements because the street will not be used to serve this subdivision. Mr. Stembridge said they take no exception to the other comments. Acting Chairman Bowen said he did not feel they should be required to escrow the money unless they had curb cuts on the street. Mr. Hannon said he did not go along with item #6 regarding deleting Oakridge Lane from the plat. He said Oakridge Lane is noted in the dedication and should be left on the plat even if it is not a dedicated street. . Mr. Hannon asked Councilman Davis about requiring pro rata for the street behind this development. ~ Page 9 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Councilman Davis said if the street is improved in the future and the adjacent property owners request a curb cut to the rear of their property, they will be assessed.

He said they had received the City Engineer's letter and they take no exception to it. Mr. Stembridge said they need a clarification on items 6 and 9 regarding the changing from 8 inch to 10 inch sewer lines and changing from 6 inch to 8 inch water line. He said they will agree to do that, but they request the city's participation in the oversizing. Acting Chairman Bowen asked if they have any plans for Lot 4. . Mr. Stembridge said they do not, it is too small to do anything with it, it is a wasted piece of land. Acting Chairman Bowen said it would be good for a right turn lane on Rufe Snow. Standley Peskind, 5580 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, came forward. He said he thought about putting a sign on that small piece of property. Mr. Peskind said Rufe Snow already has a right turn lane. Mr. Hannon said the City's new Sign Ordinance will probably not allow a sign there. He said it would be good for future road expansion. Mr. Peskind said he had not considered that, and he would like to have time to think about it before making a decision. PS 83-73 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PS 83-73 subject to the Engineer's comments.

Mr. Stembridge said they were aware there was only a two inch water line for this property, but to have to extend a larger line from Amundson all the way down to this property for only one residence would be a hardship for his client and they request the requirement for a fire hydrant be waived. Mr. Hannon said they had turned down plats for not having proper fire coverage in Commercial zoning. Councilman Davis asked if there were houses on either side of this property. Mr. Stembridge said there were. . ~ Page 13 p & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Mr. Hannon asked if there was fire coverage on the Hurst side of Precinct Line Road. Mr. Stembridge said he was not sure.

Mr. Stembridge said that would be fine and it would give him time to talk to his client. . The Acting Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward.

Acting Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Tim Fleet with Sabine Valley came forward. Mr. Hannon asked why he requested this zoning. Mr. Fleet said they plan to have 158 lots which they plan to sell some and build on some. . Acting Chairman Bowen said he has a problem with 1,200 square foot houses. He said he did not feel this would get through the Council. Mr. Fleet said 1,200 square feet is what they want, but were expecting it to be bumped up. Mr. Hannon asked if they would agree to a larger house. Mr. Fleet asked what they felt the Council would agree to. Acting Chairman Bowen said the Commission could not say what the City Council would approve, but if Sabine Valley is agreeable to larger houses, he should so state. Mr. Fleet said they would like to have the lowest square footage they could get. . Mr. Hannon said if the Commission deny's this request, they would have to have 3/4 majority of the Council for approval. ~ Page 17 p & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Mr. Hannon asked what size could they live with and what would be feasable for them. Mr. Fleet said they could live with 1,300 square feet. He said if they had to build 1.500 square feet houses, it would take them two years to complete the job. Ms. Nash asked if all the houses would be 1,300 square feet. Mr. Fleet said if they receive 1,300 square feet minimum, they would run from 1.300 to 1,600 square feet; if they receive 1,500, they would run from 1,500 to 1,600 square feet. Mr. Hannon asked if Mr. Fleet would agree to 1,500 square foot minimum. Mr. Fleet said he would rather have 1,300 square foot minimum. . Acting Chairman Bowen said he has problems with 1,300 square feet. Mr. Wood said he did not feel this Commission should negotiate without first hearing the other people. Mr. Hannon said he felt the Commission needed to know what they could live with. He said Mr. Fleet should know what his cost would be. Mr. Fleet said he would like to have 1,300, but would accept 1,400. The Acting Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . Howard Cassady, 7020 Chapman Drive, came forward. He said he lives across the street from this property. Mr. Cassady said there are 3 houses on his block that are less than 1,400 square feet, but the others are in excess of 1.400 square feet. ~ Page 18 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Mr. Cassady said the development of this area would create more traffic on Chapman Road which cannot handle it. He said if the square footage was raised to 1,500 or 1,600, the market would increase and they could provide a decent street. Mr. Cassady said he felt 1,400 square feet is too low. Acting Chairman Bowen said a minimum of 1,400 did not mean that all the houses would be 1,400 square feet; he would probably build from 1.400 to 1,600 square foot homes. Mr. Hannon said Mr. Cassady's area is zoned 1F-7 which was 1,000 square foot minimum. He said most builders like to spread the houses; every square foot is a margin for him. Mr. Hannon said the streets will be built to city standards regardless of the zoning. . Mr. Cassady asked what they plan to do with Chapman Road. Mr. Hannon said Chapman Road will be a collector street. Acting Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing. PZ 83-48 APPROVED Ms. Nash said since Mr. Fleet agreed to a 1,400 square foot minimum, she would make the motion to approve PZ 83-48 with the stipulation that it be 1F-8-1400.

This property is located on the east side of Rufe Snow Drive, bounded on the east by Douglas Lane and is approximately 906 feet south of Bursey Road. . ~ Page 19 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Acting Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mark Tutun with Baker and Associates came forward. He said they are in the land development business and they plan to have approximately 50 lots which they plan to sell to builders. Mr. Tutun stated they were under contract with Miller of Texas to buy this property. He said they do not have the Local Retail portion of this property. He said they are requesting 1F-8-1400 which would allow a range from 1,400 to 1,600 square foot homes. Mr. Tutun said this development would be an extension of Foster Village to the south of them. He said he understood that they received IF-8-1400 for their property. . Mr. Tutun said they will dedicate the right-of-way for Rufe Snow Drive and will pave their half of the street. Mr. Tutun stated there was existing duplex zoning adjacent to the southeast corner of this property. Mr. Tutun said they will bring the necessary utilities to this area and they have an agreement with Southland Financial for the drainage. Mr. Tutun said their lots would be 65 feet by 125 feet. He said they would consider extending the major streets in Watauga to join the ones in North Richland Hills. He said he was not sure if this would be good or bad. . Mr. Tutun said the homes in Watauga had small, 6,500 square foot lots and these lots would have a minimum of 8,000 square feet. He said this land is pretty with trees and ridges. He said they will deed restrict the property to make sure all builders will comply. ~ Page 20 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 .

Acting Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Carter came forward. He said he wants to sell beer and wine at this pizza restaurant. Mr. Hannon said the specific use would have to be in an individual's name and would be non-transferable. Mr. Carter said it would need to be in his name. Acting Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward.

This property is located on the west side of Smithfield Road and approximately 213 feet south of Odell Street. Acting Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. . Mr. Roseberry came forward. He said this is not 3 tracts as the tax office shows, it is one tract of land. He said there is a house and several buildings on this property, all are unsightly. Mr. Roseberry said the City is trying to condemn it. He said Northeast Wrecker Service is to the north of this property and on the south is Wayne's Garage. He said the people who owned this property had a terrible financial problem and tried to sell the property to Northeast Wrecker, but he ended up buying it. Mr. Roseberry said he was aware he has a drainage problem. He said he does not plan to plat the property for awhile. He said he gave the people 90 days get out, then he will come in with a bulldozer and clean the place up. Acting Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . Charles H. Leverton, 7816 Odell Street, came forward. He said his property joins this property. He said this property is in a terrible condition: partial wood and dirt floors, raw sewage runs into this drainage ditch to other property. Mr. Leverton said the City has made no effort to get them to clean it up. ~ Page 22 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . Mr. Leverton said he requests they be made to clean it up, they don't need more junk like the Northeast Wrecker Service. He said they don't need a wrecker service and junk yard in this area. Mr. Leverton said this would be spot zoning. He said it would be more suitable for single family dwellings or Local Retail such as Star Electric building. He said he would be afraid if they approved Commercial zoning, that they would have another wrecker service with flashing lights and dogs barking all during the night. . Mr. Leverton said with Commercial zoning around you, FHA will not loan on a home. He said also, the City cannot provide sewer to this area. He said he had been trying to get on city sewer for 8 years. Mr. Leverton said the property will not pass a percolation test, it does not have proper drainage. Mr. Hannon said all this does not pertain to the zoning of this property, this would be taken care of in the platting of the property. He said the Commission has to decide what is the appropriate zoning; Agricultural zoning is only a holding zoning until the property is developed. Mr. Hannon asked Mr. Leverton if he had talked to the City about putting in the sewer from Smithfield Road; has he spoken to Mr. Bronstad or the City Engineer. Mr. Leverton said he had. He said he feels this area would be best for single family or retail business such as Floyd Jones building on Smithfield Road. . John McBroom, 7808 Odell Street, came forward. He said his property is 330 feet deep. He said he was turned down by FHA on a lot on Jerrell Street because it was next to Commercial zoning. Page 23 P & Z Minutes July 28, 1983 . . PZ 83-51 DEN IED ADJOURNMENT . ~ Mr. McBroom said he is concerned with what they plan to do with the drainage ditch. He said also, Wayne's garage is on septic tank and he tried to get on the city sewer and they told him that he would have to put in a pump to get on the sewer. Mr. McBroom said he is against this request because of the sewer problem and because of the effect it would have with FHA. Acting Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Wood said he doesn't have a problem with the new proposed commercial zoning, but the present commercial zoning classification is too broad. He said Mr. Roseberry said on the application that he has no intended use now so he could clean it up with the present zoning. Mr. Wood said he felt he could work with the neighbors and come back later with a zoning request. Mr. Wood made the motion to deny PZ 83-51. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion to deny carried 4-1 with Mr. Schwinger voting against denial. The meeting adjourned at 10:26 P.
