Agenda Item No. 10 - PZ 2003-03 - Councilwoman Johnson recalled Council
requesting from Mr. Huggins several years ago a Master Plan of his intended future
development of the area surrounding the Huggins dealership and questioned if Mr.
Huggins had provided the plan. Staff advised that the plan he provided is the plan he
currently has on the ground. Councilwoman Johnson questioned if the request should
be denied and a planned development requested. Councilwoman Johnson inquired as

to what benefit it would be to the city and city staff to require a planned development
and if such a requirement would cause a hardship on Mr. Huggins. The City Manager
advised the hardship to Mr. Huggins would depend on his timeline for the construction
of the facility and the delay in submitting it for a planned development. The advantage
would be the ability to look at the project as a whole.
Councilman Tolbert present at 6:20 p.m.
Council discussed the advantages to a planned development and Staff answered
Council questions concerning the number of requests presented to Council from Mr.
Huggins over the past several years pertaining to his dealership and surrounding
property. Council questioned if Mr. Huggins would reimburse the City for the cost of the
cul-de-sac recently constructed on Susan Lee Lane. Staff advised that it had not been
discussed but that it was anticipated it would be considered with either the plat or a
planned development.

City Council Minutes
April 14, 2003
Page 8
Mr. Pitstick summarized item and Planning and Zoning's recommendation. Mr. Pitstick
stated that staff has concerns with Mr. Huggins request for HC (Heavy Commercial)
and that staff would support a PD (Planned Development). A PD would allow better
control of the area, which staff views as a win/win situation for both Mr. Huggins and the
residential property owners.
There were questions and discussion by council on the desire for a master plan of the
development and the benefits of the project being a planned development rather than
straight zoning. Councilwoman Johnson commented that a plan was never brought
before council by Mr. Huggins to show his intention for expansion.
Mr. Pitstick advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
of the request and staff recommendation is to deny or postpone the request and come
back with a planned development.
Mayor Trevino asked for anyone wishing to speak in favor of the request to come
forward. Mayor Trevino noted for the record that Ron Huggins is in support of the
request.
There being no one else wishing to speak in favor Mayor Trevino asked for anyone
wishing to speak in opposition to come forward. The following spoke in opposition of
request.
Mr. Johnnie Latham, 4825 Susan Lee Lane and Mr. Marlin Miller, 5109 Susan
Lee Lane.
There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
Councilman Lyle E. Welch asked if Mr. Huggins would be allowed to respond to
comments.
Mayor Trevino asked council to consider allowing Mr. Huggins to speak.
Councilman Tim Welch said that he would like to hear Mr. Huggins comments
regarding staff's recommendation of PD.
Mr. Huggins said that he is requesting HC and not PD. The remainder of his property is
zoned Heavy Commercial. Mr. Huggins addressed Council's comments regarding the
overall plan. Mr. Huggins commented that he presented a plan at the time of his last
request, but could only bring forth an overall plan as he knew it at that point in time.
Since that time he has been able to acquire additional property.
Mayor Trevino informed council that Councilman Tolbert asked for a PD last year when
Mr. Huggins requested rezoning for acquired residential property. Councilman Tolbert's
reasoning for requesting PD was to allow staff more control of what futures uses would
be allowed at this property should the property be sold.

SECONDED THE MOTION.
Councilman Tolbert mentioned that he would like to see the fees waived for the PD
should Mr. Huggins submit request for a Planned Development.
Councilwoman Johnson commented that the council has yet to see a plan for the
development by Mr. Huggins. Councilwoman Johnson feels that this development is
being piece milled and council deserves to know what is going on with property.
Councilman Turnage voiced his agreement with Councilman Tolbert and Mayor
Trevino. Councilman Turnage said that he would be in favor of a PD.
Councilman Tim Welch said that he too believed that this property should be a PD.
COUNCILMAN LYLE E.. WELCH WITHDREW HIS MOTION.

THE MOTION.

HC would be affected by a Planned Development.

fee.

Mayor Pro Tem Metts and Councilwoman Johnson voting for denial and Councilman
Lyle E. Welch voting against.

it relates to this request.

cleared for grading will have to be replaced either on site or through a contribution to
