Mr. Doug Long, Engineer, appeared before the Council. Mr. Long stated the property was presently zoned R-4-SD and the request was to change to commercial. Mr. Long stated that at the time of the original zoning they were looking at a different type of street arrangement. Mr. Long stated that, with the North Tarrant Parkway being built, investors felt that a deeper depth of commercial was needed. Mr. Long stated there was about .42 of an acre in the middle that was zoned R-3 and that was the portion where Amber had a pipeline. Mr. Long stated there would be no building closer than 50 feet from the property line. Mr. Long stated Amber Pipeline would maintain a 25 foot permanent easement and an additional 25 foot construction easement. Councilwoman Spurlock asked for a definition of greenbelt. April 9, 1990 Page 3 Mr. Long stated they planned to do landscaping on 25 feet but were waiting on Amber Pipeline to see what they would let them place on the property. Councilwoman Spurlock stated it was her understanding the landscaping was included with the approval of this request. Mr. Long stated they would have to have approval from Amber Pipeline before placing anything on the easement. Councilman Scoma stated that, according to the Planning and Zoning Minutes, Mr. Long had said there could be two 25 foot greenbelts, for a total of 50 feet of greenbelt. Councilman Scoma stated the ordinance being approved tonight did not contain the wording relating to the greenbelt. Councilman Scoma stated to prevent any future misunderstanding if it was the intent of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the intent of the applicant it should be incorporated into the ordinance. Councilman Scoma stated the south side of the property was being addressed but not the east side, which was next to agricultural zoned property, and since the Council did not know what the agricultural would develop into he would like to see the 50 foot greenbelt extended to the east side. Mr. Long stated the property to the east, the north side of it, was already zoned commercial and they were proposing a concrete lined drainage ditch along the eastern perimeter of the Thornbridge Addition. Mr. Long stated the ditch would come across the eastern section and go into the commercial area. Mr. Long stated they were not sure what Amber Pipeline would allow but they told the Planning and Zoning Commission that there would not be any building closer than 50 feet of the property line. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he agreed with the 50 foot building set back and at least a 25 foot greenbelt area. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that if the agricultural property was rezoned, then let them buffer it. Councilman Sibbet asked what kind of time schedule there was before they received an answer from the Pipeline Company. Mr. Long stated they hoped within the next month because they could not start Phase III of Thornbridge until they heard from the Pipeline Company.
