PP 2005..03 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF NORICH PARK ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 5400 BLOCK OF GALWAY LANE -10.03 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green summarized the case. Norich Park is an existing, unplatted park undergoing redevelopment. As part of the redevelopment, the Parks Department is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for the site. A letter from the Public Works Department states that the plat meets City criteria and staff recommends approval. Don Bowen, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned to approve PP 2005..03. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). The Chairman announced Agenda Item #12 as the next item for consideration before the Commission. 12. FP 2005·16 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM GRAHAM RANCH PARTNERS, LTD., TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF GRAHAM RANCH PHASE 1 ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 7000 BLOCK OF HIGHTOWER DRIVE - 34.09 ACRES). POSTPONED The Chairman announced that at the request of the applicant the consideration of this Final Plat has been delayed to September 1, 2005. Scott Wood, seconded by Randy Shiflet, motioned to postpone FP 2005·16 until September 1, 2005 as requested by Mark Wood on behalf of Graham Ranch Partners, Ltd. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). 6. PP 2005..Q4 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF GOODE PARK ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 7800 BLOCK OF NORTH RICHLAND BOULEVARD -1.64 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that Goode Park was purchased by the City a couple of years ago as part of their Neighborhood Park Initiative. It is only 1.6 acres in size and the Parks Department is requesting preliminary plat approval. A letter from the Public Works Page 2 of 13 8118/2005 P&Z Minutes -",,--------''"'~ Department states that the plat meets City requirements and staff recommends approval. Chairman Davis asked about parking availability for the park. Bill Thornton, Asst. Dir. of Parks and Recreation, responded that this particular piece of property was purchased a few years ago to work in concert with Liberty Park. The two parks were designed together to provide the neighborhood services for that neighborhood zone. Liberty Park has a small parking lot and amenities. Goode Place, as only a small, 1.6 acre park is meant to have a playground area only for smaller aged kids. There will be some sitting areas as the park is located between an assisted living center and a day care. The hope is that the park will serve as an intergenerational gathering place. Being such, the Parks Dept. does not anticipate it being a drive-to destination. It has a good amount of frontage along North Richland so that if there were someone who would want to stop by there and visit the park there would be the capability for on-street parking. The Chairman stated concern that North Richland is a big cut through from Holiday Lane to Davis Blvd. with a lot of traffic. He stated that hopefully this park would be used a lot during the day by the day care center, but he is concerned that if it becomes a drive destination there will be a line-up on the street. Mr. Thornton stated that there are no amenities other than the playground and passive seating areas with a sidewalk connection to the day care to the east and also a sidewalk connection to the apartments to the north. The Chairman asked if "no parking" signage on the street would be appropriate. Mr. Thornton responded that signage could be done. He stated that in the past the Parks Department has worked with homeowners associations or even individual neighbors around a park to resolve any potential conflicts. He mentioned, as an example, Founders Park and Linda Spurlock Park, where the Parks Department worked with the neighbors to resolve parking problems. Mr. Sapp asked if fencing would be put up since that street is so busy. Mr. Thornton responded that fencing is not planned. He stated that at Liberty Park they tried to locate the amenities further away from the street and they have drawn attention to crosswalks. If it does become an issue, Mr. Thornton stated that the Parks Dept. would work with the Public Works Dept. to address it. The Chairman added that it might be a good location for a speed bump. Mr. Thornton responded that they will discuss that option with Public Works. He added that the Parks Dept. has not had any feedback from the residents on the south side. Mr. Shiflet asked if the City put a small parking lot on the south end of Linda Spurlock Park. Mr. Thornton responded that a parking lot was going to be the last resort. Instead, Council directed that parking counts be done, which the Parks Dept. did for six months to determine what type of on-street parking use was occurring, and the Parks Dept. was able to work with the adjacent homeowners to resolve conflicts that occurred. Folks searching for practice field use were driving the parking demands and the Parks Page 3 of 13 811812005 P&Z Minutes Dept. was able to work an agreement with the School District to open up additional practice fields at Thomas Acres over by Fossil Creek Park and also clean up and make available practice soccer and football fields off of Noreast Drive where the school varsity baseball field is located east of Holiday. The Parks Dept. also worked with the Youth Associations to educate all of the teams of where those fields were available and once that occurred the parking problems at Linda Spurlock Park went away. Ken Sapp, seconded by Don Bowen, motioned to approve PP 2005..04. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). 7. PP 2005..05 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LITTLE BEAR CREEK PARK ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 7500 BLOCK OF CONTINENTAL TRAIL - 47.37 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that Little Bear Creek Park is being platted into two lots -- a smaller Lot 1 and a much larger Lot 2. A letter from the Public Works Department states that the plat meets all of City requirements and staff recommends approval. Ms. Cole asked for an explanation of why the Park is being platted into two lots. Mr. Green responded that Lot 1 will be the ,area of future development by the Parks Department. Mr. Thornton added that this -property is classified as a community park. There are neighborhood park services as a part of the community park. There is no development proposed for the community park portion. The southern portion, Lot 1, is designated for a small playground and trail in the future; probably five years out. Mr. Shiflet asked that right-of-way along North Tarrant Parkway be addressed by the final plat. Mr. Thornton responded that when the property was purchased the right-of- way was divided out from the park and designated separately. The Chairman asked that the designation be noted on the final plat. Randy Shiflet, seconded by Scott Wood, motioned to approve PP 2005..05. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). 8. FP 2005..07 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM JONES & BOYD, INC. ON BEHALF OF ARCADIA LAND PARTNERS 17, LTD., TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1, BLOCK Q HOMETOWN WEST PHASE 6 ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 8600 BLOCK OF MID-CITIES BOULEVARD - 7.5 ACRES). Page 4 of 13 8118/2005 P&Z Minutes APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this site is in the 8600 block of Mid Cities Blvd. There is an existing drainage channel and lake along the Hometown boundary. Last year, an SUP was approved for this site for a proposed senior independent living facility. This is the final plat for that lot and the next item on the agenda will be the site plan for this development. Access will be along Winter Park Drive to the west of this development. A memo from the Public Works Department lists minor items that should be addressed and staff recommends approval subject to the requirements listed in the engineer's letter. Javier Jaramillo, Jones & Boyd, representing the applicant, stated that the SUP was approved by P&Z and the City Council at the end of last year and they are now proceeding with the final plat and site plan. He stated that they are working with Public Works to resolve the remaining two issues, one of which is along the east/west property line there is a 10-inch water main constructed with Phase 3 Hometown development and Public Works is requesting a water easement by separate instrument. The Chairman asked if that separate instrument has been done. Mr. Jaramillo stated that it is being reviewed by Public Works and once approved will be filed. The other issue was at the southeast corner along Riverdale. Riverdale does not extend all the way down to the southeast corner. It falls short before the crossing over the lake. Public Works asked for an extension of the sidewalk to the southeast corner but Jones & Boyd is requesting postponement of the sidewalk construction because if constructed at this time, it will be damaged and have to be replacød once the bridge structure is built. Escrow money will be put up for the sidewalk~ Ken Sapp, seconded by Don Bowen, motioned to approve FP 2005..07 subject to the engineer's comments dated August 12, 2005 regarding the water easement and the escrow requirements for sidewalk completion. The motion was approved unanimously (6..0). 9. SP 2005..08 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM JONES & BOYD, INC. ON BEHALF OF ARCADIA LAND PARTNERS 17 , LTD. FOR APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR FRANKLIN PARK SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY (LOCATED IN THE 8600 BLOCK OF MID-CITIES BOULEVARD - 7.5 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this is a 3-story design for a senior independent living facility with the entryway coming off of Winter Park Drive. The Special Use Permit (SUP) was brought forward last year with a conceptual plan and the P&Z and City Council approved it subject to the applicant returning with a final plat and final site plan for Page 5 of 13 8/18/2005 P&Z Minutes approval prior to any building permits being issued on this property. This is the site plan. The buildings will be brick and stucco design and the architecture for this development has gone through the Hometown architectural review process and received approval. Just a fraction of the landscape plan submitted to staff is shown tonight. This is a remarkable project and the applicant has done an extraordinary job with the proposed landscaping of this site. The drainage channel along the north side of the property is owned by the City and is part of the lake system for Hometown. The applicant, Franklin Development, is taking responsibility for landscaping and maintaining this area since this is the front yard of their development. A total of 194 units are being proposed. A letter from Public Works states that staff supports this site plan. Chairman Davis asked the applicant to define "basic maintenance" for the landscaping of the ditch along Mid-Cities Boulevard. He stated that the Parks Department currently maintains it and perhaps that wouldn't be as well as Franklin would like, but, for instance, they are required to clean out the bottom of the ditch periodically and the Chairman would like Franklin to be more definitive of a "basic maintenance" agreement. Greg Grand Jean, Franklin Development, stated that they will work out an agreement with the Parks Department. He stated that they are planning to put in irrigation for the trees and they will cut and edge around the trees and in the parkway. The Chairman asked that they define sprinkling, trimming, and mowing with specifics such as "15-ft. path from the curb line back" so that the applicant knows what they are required to do and the City is clear on its expectations. Mr. Wood asked for an explanation of parking. Tim Settles, representative of the management arm of Franklin Development, stated that the.demographics are such that the average age is north of 80. Half of the residents own vehicles; therefore, .5 of the required parking is typical in this type of venue. He gave as examples two other independent senior communities, Meadow Lakes which has a .7 parking ratio and The Wellington, which has a ratio of .833. He stated that their parking will be 1:1, which will be more than adequate. Randy Shiflet, seconded by Brenda Cole, motioned to approve SP 2005..oS. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). 10. FP 2005·12 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM RAMYPASHA INVESTMENTS, INC. TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF WOODLAND OAKS PHASE 2 ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 6700 BLOCK OF PRECINCT LINE ROAD - 3.24 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this final plat is an area that was reviewed last year in terms of rezoning and preliminary platting. This subdivision is located along Precinct Line Road Page 6 of 13 811812005 P&Z Minutes with an entryway off of Precinct Line Road, but two of the ten lots are accessed by Nob Hill Drive. Public Works has provided a letter stating that there are a few minor issues that need to be addressed and staff recommends approval subject to meeting engineer's comments. The Chairman stated that the engineer's letter regards the wording for an abandoned easement. Ted Brooks, representing the applicant, stated that they would meet the requirements of Public Works' memo dated August 11 regarding the easement issue. He agreed that the changes would be made before going to Council. The Chairman asked for an explanation of their plan for the end of Nob Hill Drive where it deadends into Lot 26. Mr. Brooks stated that they will have a concrete flume out to the street. He stated that they will have to do something to screen it off. The Chairman asked if they envisioned a gate for a rear entry garage on Lot 26. Mr. Brooks stated that Lot 26 is too steep to have a driveway off of Nob Hill Drive. He stated that it will have a driveway off of Woodland Hills Drive. The Chairman asked Mr. Brooks to work with staff to have a very visible fence and perhaps a reflection system and signage so people know it is a dead end. Ms. Cole noted that on Lot 24 the existing zoning is stated as AG and should be corrected before going to Council. Scott Wood, seconded by Don Bowen, motioned to approve FP 2005·12 subject to meeting the requirements of Public Works memo dated August: 11 and noting the AG zoning correction for Lot 24. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). 11. FP 2005·13 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM KENNIS KETCHUM, PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMANT LLC, TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF THE VENUE AT HOME TOWN ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 9000 BLOCK OF GRAPEVINE HIGHWAY - 11.49 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this is the final plat for the Venue At Home Town. It is the first mixed used development for Home Town and the City of North Richland Hills. Public Works has provided a letter with comments. Staff recommends approval subject to the comments in the engineer's letter. Jim Riley, Brockette Davis Drake Engineers, came forward. Mr. Riley stated that he was aware of the comments that Mr. Van Nieuwenhuize has put together on the R-O-W dedication, setback, and the actual R-O-W with Grand Avenue. Page 7 of 13 8118/2005 P&Z Minutes Mr. Sapp asked Mr. Riley if a site plan was coming soon and how the grade elevations would be dealt with. Mr. Riley answered yes; a site plan is coming soon. In regards to the grade elevations, that will be tricky due to what is being put in out there. There will be two buildings that have to be relatively close to the finish floor and the street has to be similar. Scott Wood, seconded by Brenda Cole, motioned to approve FP 2005·13 subject to engineer's comments dated August 11, 2005. The motion was carried unanimously (6..0). 12. FP 2005·16 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM GRAHAM RANCH PARTNERS, LTD., TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF GRAHAM RANCH PHASE 1 ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 7000 BLOCK OF HIGHTOWER DRIVE - 34.09 ACRES). POSTPONED Agènda Item #12 was moved up on the agenda and was heard by the Commission between items #5 and 6. 13. RP 2005..04 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM MYCOSKIE, MCINNIS ASSOCIATES ON BEHALF OF BATES CONTAINER TO APPROVE THE REPLAT OF LOT 11 R, BLOCK H SMITHFIELD ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 6400 BLOCK OF SMITHFIELD ROAD - 2.45 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green explained that this site is 2.45 acres in size. It is located in the 6400 Block of Smithfield Road. The purpose of this replat is to combine several existing small long narrow lots into one lot for the purpose of an expansion of Bates Container. They are proposing a 37,000+ square foot industrial building on this site. Due to the site having residential adjacent across Smithfield Road to the west, there will be a site plan following this request for approval. This is simply a replat on the property combining all of those lots into one lot. Public Works has provided a letter stating that the plat is ready for the Commission's consideration. Staff recommends approval of RP 2005-04. Scott Wood, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned to approve RP 2005..04. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). Page 8 of 13 811812005 P&Z Minutes 14. SP 2005·10 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM MYCOSKIE, MCINNIS ASSOCIATES ON BEHALF OF BATES CONTAINER FOR APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR A 37,300 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING (LOCATED IN THE 6400 BLOCK OF SMITHFIELD ROAD - 2.45 ACRES). APPROVED Mr. Green stated that this is the same piece of property that the Commission just looked at and approved. This will be a 37,000+ sq. ft. building with a series of loading docks on the rear side, dumpster location, and a connection to the existing Bates Container site. The site plan before you meets all of the City's standards in terms of landscaping and signage. Public Works has provided a letter stating that all of City's standards have been met. Staff recommends approval of SP 2005-10. Mr. Shiflet asked how the driveway aligns with the residential streets. Mr. Green stated that the location is almost right across the street from the existing street off of Smithfield Road. It is a small offset. Michael Buckley, Mycoskie Mcinnis Associates, came forward. Mr. Buckley stated that this will be a new facility for Bates Container. Mr. Bowen stated that he noticed the loading docks on the east end of the building. Will those tractor trailers typically access to the east through the property on Davis Boulevard or will it come over to Smithfield Road. Mr. Buckley stated that Bates wanted some connection so there is an access road that will go across the next lot over. It will be a private access. There will be some incoming traffic from Smithfield Road. Mr. Bowen stated that it is a collector street, but a lot of the tractor trailers coming through there may be an annoyance to the neighborhood to the west. Mr. Buckley stated that was the purpose for trying to provide the road across the other lot in order to minimize that. Chairman Davis stated that it is always good to see an existing business expand. Scott Wood, seconded by Ken Sapp, motioned to approve SP 2005·10. The motion carried unanimously (6..0). Page 9 of 13 8118/2005 P&Z Minutes 15. ZC 2005-10 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM GORDON SWIFT CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. (ON BEHALF OF WEST CREEK PARTNERS, LLC) FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM "C-1" COMMERCIAL TO "RI-PD" RESIDENTIAL IN FILL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (8400 BLOCK OF HIGHTOWER DRIVE - 2.27 ACRES). CONTINUED Mr. Green explained that this request is the second RI-PD the City has seen since this District was created. This property is located at the southeast comer of Hightower and Davis. The developer is proposing 14 lots. Staff concurs with the project but there is one major issue that could not be resolved with the applicant. The center area has a combination residential site pad and common open space. Staff feels the open space should be all open space and should not be split between a residential use and an open space because this amenity is for everyone in the neighborhood and to have a private residence in the middle of that is impractical in staff's determination. If the middle area was left a common area, the street could be moved over a little bit and add depth to the lots along Davis Blvd. Staff does not support the design before the Commission. Mr. Shiflet stated that in the staff report there is a comment, "long held policy that P&Z not consider requests that are not ready". Mr. Shiflet asked if this request is in that category. Mr. Green responded that in staff's opinion it is not ready. The Chairman stated that a project is considered ready when it is given a favorable recommendation by staff. He asked Mr..' Green· to confirm that this project did not get a favorable recommendation from staff but the applicant still asked to go forward to P&Z. Mr. Green confirmed the Chairman's statement. Mr. Wood commented that Liberty Village, the first RI-PD approved about a month ago, blew everybody away because it was what P&Z was really looking forward. He asked Mr. Green if this project was not in the same category in staff's opinion. Mr. Green responded that staff's primary concerns are the two uses in close proximity in the center area. He stated that perhaps there are other specific amenities that could bring it in line with the standards set by the previous project. Staff would support those. Mr. Wood asked if there should be concern about leaving it commercial zoning. Mr. Green responded that this property has been zoned "C-1" Commercial for many years. Planning wise, it is a better idea to locate commercial uses at intersections and not string them out along thoroughfares, because they become very inefficient and ineffective and a city ends up with dead spots that cannot be supported over time. On the future Thoroughfare Plan, Hightower goes through to the west, but right now, Hightower ends at Davis Blvd. If Hightower did continue on to the west, that would create a 4-corner intersection and that would be a good situation to maintain commercial usage. Additional factors come into play with this property. Along this stretch of Davis Blvd., this property slopes downward at a good rate from Davis Blvd. Page 10 of 13 8118/2005 P&Z Minutes which makes it a less than desirable commercial site. The visibility is poor. Additionally, across the street from this site is a pretty good hill and to bring Hightower through would create a canyon and a lot of earth would have to be moved to create that thoroughfare. These factors show that this corner is not as good a corner for commercial as might be thought. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. Dan Mcinnis, Gordon Swift Consulting Engineers, representing the applicant stated that the applicant, John Dancer, came here tonight strongly opposing staff's opinion that Lot 14 should go away but has changed his mind while listening to discussion between staff and the P&Z Commission in premeeting. He would like to propose that area become all open space, reducing the circle in size, and provide a little more buffer from Davis. They are hoping to go ahead and get approval of this project tonight based on some amendments, the first of which would be making Lot 14 open space. Mr. Mcinnis also showed the Commission examples of the types of rear or side entry garage doors they are proposing, along with examples of their vision of how the front yards will look with every lot having a 50-ft. front. They plan to have "dressier" planting beds with stone or masonry along the edge. He stated that their target market are folks who are not looking for a starter home but are looking for a home that has less maintenance on the outside, but have amenities inside. He showed an example of the type of fence they are proposing which is a wrought iron/masonry combination and they are also planning to plant photinias along Davis Blvd. The Chairman asked for the following: (1) on the site plan it states thatthe dwellings will be 1800 sq. ft. minimum average but the narrative states the minimum is 1'800 with an average of 2000. The Chairman asked that the applicant pick one or the other and have the narrative and site plan match. (2) that the renderings of the garage doors be made "a typical elevation of the garage doors" as a part of the application. (3) that planting beds are required on each of the 13 lots with masonry or stone along the edge. He would like that addressed through the site plan of this project with pictures as "typicals" since the City cannot enforce deed restrictions or homeowners association rules. (4) a masonry wall along Davis Blvd. rather than a combination wrought iron/masonry wall. He suggested a mix of solid masonry along Davis and a combination wrought iron/masonry along Hightower. Mr. Sapp pointed out that wrought iron looks very nice, but street noise is a problem. He stated that the applicant would be doing the residents a favor if a solid masonry wall was built along Davis Blvd. He suggested using wrought iron at the entrance to open up the project and make it look attractive. The Chairman added that wrought iron along Hightower would impact three lots of this project whose backyards would be open to Hightower. Page 11 of 13 8118/2005 P&Z Minutes Mr. Shiflet stated that the applicant has a written comment (No.7) that patio walls will be 6-ft. masonry privacy. Mr. Shiflet asked where those walls would be located. Mr. Mcinnis replied that the written comment was an error and will be removed. Mr. Bowen stated that there are Lots A, B, C, and D on the plans and no one can find Lot D. Mr. Mcinnis explained that additional open public space in front of Lot 14 was intended to be Lot D, but that is going away. Mr. Sapp suggested a common mailbox location for this project. The Chairman reminded the applicant to make them stone and masonry. The applicant suggested the location be placed in the common open area. Mr. Green commented that staff plans to bring the Preliminary Plat of this project to P&Z on September 15. He suggested that the applicant postpone his zoning request until the 15th in order to address these issues and bring the zoning and preliminary plat together. Mr. Bowen commented to the Commission that he would like to see this plan again. He does not wish to approve it without another look at it. The applicant asked for five minutes to confer and decide what course he wished to take. In the meantime, the Chairman asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of or against this project. There were none. The Chairman called for a five minute recess. The meeting recessed at 8:37 p.m. and resumed at 8:45 p.m. The Chairman suggested that the applicant continue his request until the September 1 st P&Z worksession. At that time, he would be expected to make the following changes: (1) Delete lot 14 (2) Move the circle in a little bit to allow some depth, particularly on lots 4 and 5. (3) Photos to show "typical elevations" for garage doors on at least the Hightower lots, although not necessarily for the Davis Blvd. lots. (4) Include "typical elevations" for the houses. (5) Common mailbox area. (6) Expand upon landscaping in the new common area in the middle. (7) Show what is going to be put in along Hightower, i.e., wax myrtles. Something screening. (8) Solid wall along Davis Blvd. and allow decorative combination of stone and wrought iron along Hightower. (9) Clean up the language on the square footage of the houses. Site Plan states that dwellings will be 1800 sq. ft. minimum average but the narrative states the minimum is 1800 with an average of 2000. Pick one or the other and have the narrative and site plan match. (10) Remove comment about patio walls will be 6-ft. masonry privacy. (11) Remove notation of "Lot D". Page 12 of 13 8/18/2005 P&Z Minutes Mr. Sapp suggested that driveways should be washed aggregate and that lay down curbs would be appropriate. The Chairman commented that the plans call for concrete or pavestone. He suggested the applicant think outside the box on the placement of the mailboxes. Perhaps a 5-ft. wide strip of pavestone or stamped concrete across the street would direct people to the mailboxes. He suggested that could look pretty cool. The Chairman announced at the concurrence of the applicant that he would entertain a motion to continue this public hearing until September 1. Mr. Shiflet asked for further detail on the entryway. The applicant indicated he had a picture he could include with the resubmittal of the project. Ms. Cole, seconded by Don Bowen, motioned to continue ZC 2005-10 until September 1, 2005. The motion was carried unanimously (6..Q). 16.
