ESTES SUBDIVISION, FROM THEIR PRESENT CLASSIFICATION OF C-2 (COMMERCIAL) TO A PROPOSED CLASSIFICATION OF I-2 (INDUSTRIAL).

Delbert Stembridge, Engineer, representing Mr. Hazel, appeared before the Council . Mr. Stembridge stated the property was in a transition area. Mr. Stembridge stated he felt I-2 zoning was the highest and best use of the property. Councilwoman Spurlock asked if thft lots met the requirements for I-2 zoning. Mr. Stembridge stated Lot 11, Block 1 consisted of 1.886 acres. Mr. McEntire stated the Council could waive the requirement of two acres. Councilman Scoma asked what the status was of the property that was for sale. Mr. Stembridge stated the property was for sale subject to the zoning. Councilman Scoma stated his concern was that Council was considering rezoning this property for multi purposes and part of the property was to be sold and part was to be used for existing businesses. Councilman Scoma stated he questioned the intent on pulling all of this together as a single zoning request. Mr. Stembridge stated whether it was a one or two acre tract, he thought the two acre requirement, even though it was in the Zoning Ordinance, needed to be looked at by the Council because there were instances where a tract needed to be rezoned and it might only be one acre. Mr. Stembridge n HU_U ,un May 8, 1989 Page 4 stated the adjacent property owners were requesting that the zoning be changed also. Councilman Scoma asked if the house at the end of that tract was part of this request. Mr. Stembridge stated it was not included.

(LOCATED SOUTH OF BURSEY ROAD, EAST OF RUFE SNOW DRIVE AND WEST OF WESTERN OAKS ADDITION) Mayor Brown opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Steven Sloan, representing Americity Corporation, appeared before the Council . Mr. Sloan stated the original request was denied and he was instructed to meet with the neighbors and come up with a compromise. Mr. Sloan stated they had reached an agreement that was suitable to everyone. Mr. Sloan stated he was then advised that the City was not interested in R-8 zoning. Mr. Sloan stated they divided the R-8 into C-1 and R-3. Mr. Sloan stated the case before the Council was to zone the unzoned land north of Rolling Ridge to C-1 and south of Rolling Ridge to R-3. Mr. Sloan requested the Council approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to zone the tract C-1 and override the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission for the other tract and approve R-3 zoning. Councilman Garvin asked Mr. Sloan if it was not correct that when he was before the Council previously and was denied the R-8 zoning, "did you not meet with me and some of the other Council Members after the meeting". May 8, 1989 Page 5 Mr. Sloan stated that he met at the request of certain Council Members. Councilman Garvin stated he made that request and that the Council had been accused of having a secret meeting. Councilman Garvin stated it was not intended to be that, but the purpose was to resolve Mr. Sloan's situation. Mr. Sloan asked for rebuttal time. Mayor Brown called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mr. Garrett Miller, 6821 Old Mill Road, appeared before the Council. Mr. Miller stated he was in favor of the R-3 but was opposed to the C-1. Mr. Miller stated the concern was that it would create a dangerous traffic situation. Mr. Miller stated the zoning did not stipulate what could be built on commercial. Mr. Miller stated he would like for a strip next to the proposed C-1 to be zoned R-3 so that the houses would back up to commercial rather than face it. Councilwoman Spurlock asked Mr. Miller if he would rather for the houses to back up to C-1 instead of face it. Mr. Miller replied yes. Councilwoman Spurlock asked Mr. Miller if he would prefer that office buildings be built on this strip; that it be a planned development area where Council would have more control. Mr. Miller stated he was not aware that the Council was empowered to control Planned Development but that would be a consideration. Councilman Scoma stated it was very likely that Cross timbers and Rolling Ridge would be an entry as well as n exit point from the commercial businesses. Councilman Scoma asked Mr. Miller if he felt the neighborhood would be satisfied if those streets did not exit to either Bursey or Rufe Snow and remained residential streets. Mr. Miller stated they would be satisfied with anything that would minimize the traffic control. Councilman Garvin asked the possibility of stubbing out Rolling Ridge. Mr. Sanford stated he did not want to comment until the situation was studied. Councilman Garvin asked Mr. Miller if he would like for the last street in the proposed subdivision to be R-3 on both sides. Mr. Miller replied yes. Mr. Gilbert Caldwell, 6813 Old Mill Road, appeared before the Council. May 8, 1989 Page 6 Mr. Caldwell stated a compromise had been worked out previously and they were satisfied with it. Mr. Caldwell stated one of the possibilities he would like to see was commercial zoning, having R-3 on the north side of Rolling Ridge and possibly not extend Crosstimbers to Bursey. Mr. Caldwell stated he was against the C-1 zoning. Mr. Caldwell stated he would like the R-3 on the south side of Rolling Ridge to be extended 115 feet north of Rolling Ridge so the houses would back up to the commercial instead of facing it. Mr. Steven Sloan reappeared before the Council. Mr. Sloan stated he felt that he had compromised and would like to point out that the strip in question was in excess of 500 feet from the residential property lines. Mr. Sloan stated he felt he had established an adequate buffer. Mr. Sloan stated he would be willing to grant the requested buffer but was not willing to concede that there would be a negative effect on the R-3 use by the adjacent C-1. Councilman Scoma asked Mr. Sloan for his reaction to eliminating future plans for Rolling Ridge and Crosstimbers from traversing the C-1 property. Mr. Sloan stated it would be a negative impact on his property and much contested and a negative influence on the residential homeowners. Mr. Sloan stated he did not believe it would be appropriate for Crosstimbers. Councilman Scoma asked Mr. Sloan if he would have a positive or negative response to a request on behalf of the City to perhaps use the strip north of Rolling Ridge as a park facility. Mr. Sloan stated he would not be interested in donating the land to be used for that purpose. Councilwoman Spurlock asked Mr. Sloan if he would consider doing Planned Development zoning on the strip north of Rolling Ridge. Mr. Sloan stated he would consider planned development on the north side if it was also extended on the south side. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Brown closed the Public Hearing. 15.
