B.0 Consideration of Minutes Thursday May 15, 2014 BA Consideration of Minutes from the April 17, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting APPROVED Kathy Luppy motioned to approve the minutes of the April 17, 2014 Meeting. The motion was seconded by Don Bowen. The motion passed unanimously (6-0). C.0 Consideration of Planning & Zoning Requests CA SUP 2014-02 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from The Caffey Group, LLC for a Special Use Permit for the Kest gas well pad site located on a portion of Lot 1, Block 2, City Point Addition in the 4200 block of Ruth Rd. John Pitstick came forward to present staffs position on the SUP zoning application. The 600 foot radius from the Kest gas well pad site includes commercial property and a couple of church sites. There is a 150 foot "no build" zone around the site. Any gas wells considered for the site would require additional approval. Valve or lift stations would need to be contained. Staff expresses a concern regarding where the gas pipeline would travel from pad site to valve station around City Hall parking lot construction. Staff is generally supportive of the request with the stipulation that the churches & commercial building owners along Willman have input. An eight (8) foot masonry wall and landscaping will be in place prior to construction. Likewise, stipulation of a maximum of sixteen (16) wells and a five (5) year maximum time frame from approval date for the SUP. Patrick Filson; 5751 Kroger Dr; Ft Worth, TX, representing The Caffey Group came forward presenting the applicant's SUP request. Caffey has worked with Mr Pitstick and staff. We may need to modify the pipeline alignment as we work through the City Hall construction plans w/ Staff. The Caffey Group has received a number of letters of support from surrounding properties. Per Staff recommendations, we are planning a double row of landscape screening in front of masonry screening wall prior to drilling operations. We understand the approval requirement for each gas well drilling permit. Chairman Randall Shiflet opened Public Hearing of SUP 2012-02 @ 07:16pm. Mark Hancock, Chairman of Board of Trustees, representing Richland Hills Methodist Church, 6104 Circleview Drive; Haltom City, TX came forward. He stated that they have signed a waiver in favor of the well site. Thursday May 15, 2014 Ken Kenvin; 7341 Glenview Dr; NRH, representing St John the Apostles Catholic Church at 7341 Glenview Drive came forward, neither in favor or in opposition. This was an informational briefing. Concerns over potential noise, drilling/construction safety and proximity to church and school. We have 4,000 registered families as well as 250 children in school and 100 children in day care. Our property is mostly outside of the 600 foot radius. Gas line runs right along our property line, adjacent to athletic field. Paul Lee; 7813 Conn Dr; NRH came forward in favor. I am President of North Hills Mineral Owners Coalition. We comprise 1,300 members within these proposed units in a wide area, including a working relationship with the hospital. We are supportive of the whole concept, but not yet in agreement. Residential and commercial are in favor of moving forward. Debra Gaggliarti; President Gaggliarti Group, Inc.; 5712 Cherrywood; Arlington, TX. I represent The Kest Group on this project. Kest would like to address the one issue with the church. Kest has been working with the City, Caffey Group and Peleton for over a year. Original location was slightly west of City Hall, close to the school. The school is one of the primary reasons for the current site location. We hope this is beneficial to all parties. Lofts and multi -family just west of the City Hall will be outside the 300 foot radius. Chairman Randall Shiflet closed Public Hearing of SUP 2012-02 at 07:23pm. MOTION TO APPROVE Bill Schopper motioned to approve SUP 2014-02, including staff recommendation and stipulations, as proposed. The motion was seconded by Mark Haynes. Don Bowen confirmed with Mr. Pitstick that the gas well route was a staff concern, not a concern for this Board. Bill Schopper brought up a point of information regarding staff recommendations that surrounding properties provide input; that driveway, landscaping and screening wall be established prior to drilling activities; that there is a maximum of 16 wells and SUP restriction of 5 years from date of approval. Don Bowen brought up his primary concern for the multi -family. However the gas well will be place before the multi -family comes into place, so they would know what they are getting. Jerry Tyner requested landscaping clarification for the reclaimed frack pond. Mr. Filson clarified the final plan along the south side of trees and shrubs. When frack pond is filled in, it will revert to natural vegetation. APPROVAL The motion passed (6-0).
