Mr. Mark Wood, applicant, advised council that the purpose of the request is to plat an existing lot (Lot 4, Block 3 Nortex Addition) and two tracts into 15 lots for residential development. Mr. Wood is aware of a question raised regarding a general easement on the property. On the eastern two tracts there is a blanket easement from Lone Star Gas now Oncor involving a gas pipeline that runs north and south through the middle of the property. Oncor has agreed to define it as a 30-foot wide easement, which would be somewhat down the middle of the property on the east side of the road out in front of the building. Mr. Wood advised council that the setback line is set back an additional five feet. The pipeline is a minimum of six feet deep and deeper than six feet in some points. Oncor is in the process of finalizing the documentation to redefine the easement. Mayor Pro Tem Metts asked Mr. Wood if he had the documents from Oncor. Mr. Wood advised council that they have been working with Oncor for the last three months. Oncor's engineering department is reviewing the final detail work. City Council Minutes July 08, 2002 Page 6 Mr. Staples advised council that staff would not issue any permits until staff has received the final documents from Oncor. Mr. Pitstick advised council that the request is a replat of an established area of town and creates new lots in the southern area of the city.

Mayor Trevino asked for anyone wishing to speak in favor of request to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino asked for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to come forward.

Mr. Pitstick advised council that there is an existing home on this property. Staff realized that there was a home built with a 20-foot building line. Since city ordinance allowed 20-foot building line staff allowed him to proceed with development of the home with the fact that he would come in for a replat. The Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend approval of this item at their June 13 meeting. Mayor Trevino called for comments in favor of request to come forward.

COUNCILMAN TURNAGE MOVED TO APPROVE PS 2002·27. MAYOR PRO TEM METTS SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 13. PZ 2002-11 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY A. PATRICK McENVOY REPRESENTING COMMERCIAL WESTERN REALTY FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT (SUP) IN A C-1 AND C-2 DISTRICTS TO ALLOW THE USE OF BUILDING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PERMITTED BY SECTION 605 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE (LOCATED IN THE 8200 BLOCK OF BEDFORD EULESS ROAD - ORDINANCE NO. 2638) APPROVED Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing. City Council Minutes July 08, 2002 Page 8 Mr. Patrick McEnvoy, applicant, summarized item for council and was available to answer council questions. Mr. Pitstick advised council this item is a formal request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) to use a form of EFIS (Sto Classic and Sto Classic High Impact) on an existing retail strip center on Bedford Euless Road. The applicant is adding some landscaping to property. The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled item once to have a formal demonstration and finally recommended with the stipulation that the landscaping on the site plan shall be included as part of the approval. Councilman Whitson asked if this material needs any footing because his understanding it is attached to an existing wall and does not need any footing at all. Mr. Pitstick is of the same understanding. Staff understands that there are some metal studs that they will have to erect to attach to. Keith Fulton, architect (Addison Design Group), advised council that it will attach to the existing structure. Two columns will be put up in the center section, which is basically for support and wind loading stability. Councilman Tolbert wanted to know if the applicant would be using the same material on the north side that faces Bedford Euless Road to match the face of the building. Anthony Hulcy of Hulcy Construction pointed out to council that the Sto finish (the actual texture - finish and look) can be applied straight to the concrete tilt walls. So when they are done the texture, color and everything will wrap around the entire building. The building will have the same finish and look around the building. Councilman Tolbert asked if there is something that they can put in the SUP that will track the language given by Mr. Hulcy. Mr. Pitstick advised council that a note can be put on the site plan that the textured surface would be on all four surfaces. Staff prefers to have the note on the site plan so the ordinance does not need to be changed. Mr. Staples informed council that staff prefers to have notation on site plan because staff enforces certain requests of council by the site plan. A notation on the site plan can be added to that affect. Councilman Tolbert clarified that Mr. Hulcy would put up EFIS and on top of the EFIS will be a texture. The texture will continue on the existing material. Mr. Hulcy informed council the actual finish (aggregate and the colorant) that goes over the top of EFIS system can be applied to the concrete tilt wall. The finish will have the City Council Minutes July 08, 2002 Page 9 same appearance in the front, side and back of the building. It will be a uniform appearance all the way through. Mayor Trevino asked anyone wishing to speak in favor to come forward. There being no one wishing to address council, Mayor Trevino asked for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing. COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON MOVED TO APPROVE PZ 2002-11, ORDINANCE No. 2638 WITH A NOTICE THAT A NOTATION WOULD BE PUT ON THE SITE PLAN THAT ALL SIDES WILL BE FINISHED WITH STONE MATERIAL TO MATCH. Mr. McEnvoy informed council that he is not economically able to finish all sides of the building. Mr. McEnvoy is willing to put the finish on the north side of the building. COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON REVISED HER MOTION SO ONLY THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING WILL BE FINISHED WITH STONE MATERIAL TO MATCH THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. MAYOR TREVINO CORRECTED COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON IN THAT IT WOULD NOT BE STONE MATERIAL, BUT IT WOULD BE THE SAME FINISH IN TEXTURE AND COLOR AS THE FACE OF THE BUILDING. COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON ACCEPTED THE CORRECTION. COUNCILMAN TOLBERT SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 6-0. 14. PZ 2002-16 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING R-3 ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS (TABLED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THEIR 6/27/02 MEETING) TABLED Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on staff to give a summary of the issue. Mr. Pitstick advised council that the Planning and Zoning Commission tabled this case at their June 2ih meeting. Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Pitstick if the case should be discussed since there was no recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Trevino said the public hearing would be opened and a motion would be entertained to table the item. City Council Minutes July 08, 2002 Page 10 Mr. Cunningham agreed with Mayor Trevino in that it would not be appropriate to discuss since the Planning and Zoning did not forward a recommendation. Mr. Pitstick advised council that the Planning and Zoning Commission did have some questions. Staff hopes to have a recommendation to bring back to council. Mr. Pitstick advised council that staff would need to re-advertise the public hearing and staff would not recommend council specify a date to hear the public hearing. Mayor Trevino advised council that he would leave the public hearing open and entertain a motion to table the public hearing until a formal recommendation is received from Planning and Zoning Commission. COUNCILMAN WHITSON MOVED TO TABLE PZ 2002-16 UNTIL COUNCIL GETS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND TO LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. COUNCILMAN WELCH SECONDED THE MOTION. Councilman Tolbert voiced his disappointment with the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Tolbert was also concerned about Mr. Cunningham's statement that it would not be appropriate to act on item. Mr. Cunningham advised Councilman Tolbert that under State Law the council can not act on a zoning case until they receive a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission whether the recommendation be for or against item. Council can initiate a zoning case, but can not act on this or any other issue unless the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a recommendation. Councilman Tolbert reiterated to Mr. Pitstick that he would like to see a vote this Thursday from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Pitstick advised council that he does not believe that the Planning and Zoning Commission is purposely holding the item. The Planning and Zoning Commission had some questions as the way the item was presented. The Planning and Zoning Commission would like to move forward with a formal recommendation.
