This property is located approximately 1300 feet south of Starnes Road and bounded on the east by Briarwood Estates Addn. Mr. Adcock came forward. He said they wish to develop this property for 1F-9-1500 which would be a continuation of Briarwood Estates, Section 4. . The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to please come forward. Gerald P. Fug1er, 7613 Hightower, came forward. He said he had three questions: 1. Chapman Road is overflooded with each rain; what do they plan to do with the water? With more development, there will be more water. 2. The City is working on Rufe Snow but after the last rain there were 24 recorded blow-outs on Rufe Snow. 3. The 1F-9-l500-the minimum is 2000 sq. ft. on both sides of Briarwood Estates. 4. There is a large pond on this property. What do they plan to do with it? 5. They have lost water power before and with this large development, they would have even less. . Mr. Bowen said that Briarwood Estates is also 1F-9 zoning and 1500 sq. ft. is the minimum, not the maximum. . . . Page 4 P & Z Minutes November 19, 1981 Mr. Tucker said this is a request for zoning, changing from Agriculture to IF-9-l500, but when they come in for platting, the drainage & water, etc. will be taken care of. Mr. Fugler asked if we could find out what size the houses would be. Mr. Tucker said they could not, they could only set a minimum. Mr. Greenfield said that the Commission would have to hear this three times before it is completed. Mr. Bowen stated the minimum lot size would be 9500 sq. ft. Grady Buck, 7629 Hightower, came forward. He said he lives east of this property. Mr. Buck said he was concerned about the drainage. He said the land was used to collect dirt for all of Briarwood Estates and there is about a 4 foot drop. He said he was very concerned to see what they can do with the drainage problem. Mr. Greenfield said there is a law that states you cannot flood your neighbor. Mr. Buck asked if the developer plans to extend Hightower. Mr. Greenfield said they do not have a plat of the property yet. Mr. Buck said he has problems with so many vacant houses in Briarwood Estates and does not see a need for more. Phil Peterson, 7625 Hightower, came forward. He said he was totally opposed to this request. Mr. Peterson said he sold a house on Chapman and the last rain it got flooded, ruined the carpet, etc. . . . Page 5 P & Z Minutes November 19, 1981 Mr. Peterson said the property in question is a gully and you can never fill it. Mr. Peterson said his house was 1800 sq. ft. He said if the Commission would just drive out there they would see they had street and drainage problems. Mr. Greenfield said the Commission members go out and look at every piece of property that is on the agenda. The Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Hannon said they are concerned about the construction, however, the only one they can look at is the zoning from Agriculture to IF-9-1500. He said he believes this to be the proper use if it can be constructed. Mr. Tucker said this is a zoning case. Agricultural zoning is a holding zoning until a better use is found. He said he would like to assure them if the zoning is changed, the Commission will scrutinize it when the platting comes in. Mr. Tucker said the City is drawing up new guidelines, but now we will have to look at it as a zoning request. Mr. Greenfield said there are two Engineers on the Commission which helps in matters like these. PZ 81-37 APPROVED Mr. Bowen moved to approve PZ 81-37. This motion was seconded by Mr. Hannon and the motion carried 4-0. 7.

PZ 81-39 Request of Canadian Texas Properties, Inc. to rezone Tract lG and portions of Tracts 1, lA, lB, and lC, Abstract 1588, J. M. Vandusen Survey, from their present classifications of Local Retail and Multiple Family to a proposed classification of Commercial. This property is located at the northwest corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Northeast Loop 820. Bill Crowson came forward to represent the owners of the property. He said he has with him Max Jordan representing Weitz Company. Mr. Crowson stated they are negotiating with the Tapp Corporation to put in a shopping center on this site. Max Jordan came forward. He said if the zoning and platting are successful, they have a collection of price retailers who wish to have a Factory Outlet Mall offering first quality, first run merchandise for sale for 20 to 25% off retail price. . . . Page 7 p & Z Minutes November 19, 1981 Mr. Jordan said the project would cost 3~ million, would be $25,000 property tax with an annual income of 20 million. He said one percent would be City sales tax. Mr. Jordan said time was of the utmost importance. He showed a picture of a mall similar to the one to be built here. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to please come forward. There being no one, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Tucker said this is not right on the corner, it is approximately 750 feet north of the corner of Rufe Snow and Northeast Loop 820. Mr. Hannon asked how this property would be served by utilities and about traffic. Mr. Greenfield said he was not sure they would address this since this is a zoning request. Mr. Tucker said this request meets the land study requirement, but would ask the City Staff to take a real close look at the plat and construction plans. He said to be sure to see if the construction of the mall will meet the demands of Rufe Snow. Mr. Bowen said the zoning does fit in the Master Plan that is underway now. PZ 81-39 APPROVED Mr. Tucker moved to approve PZ 81-39. This motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and the motion carried 4-0. Page 8 P & Z Minutes November 19, 1981 . OLD BUSINESS None.
