Purchasing Finance Director DISCUSSION Mr. George Angle asked the Council for their support for the Northeast Fine Arts League. He asked that they study the feasibility and cost associated with raising the ceiling and providing adequate lighting to convert it into a small theatre. Mr. Angle also asked for one room be given on a temporary basis to the League to store equipment. The Council authorized the Staff to pursue his request with the architect and come back to the Council with a proposal. This proposal will be considered along with the overall space allocation/ layout for the Community Center/Library. There were several questions concerning this item, with Mayor Echols voicing opposition. As indicated by the vote at the formal Council Meeting, it was agreed that partial payments not appear on the Agenda and that monthly status reports of construction in ASSIGNMENT Dennis Advise Architects to study feasibility and costs. Staff Note ITEM CLARIFICATION OF PRE-COUNCIL NOTES OF JANUARY 27, 1986 DISCUSSION progress be included in the Monthly Activity Reports. Mayor Echols' opposition centered around the fact that a public record should be made of partial payments. The Council noted that all contracts involving construction are approved in open Council Meetings. All change orders effecting these contracts must also be taken to the Council for approval and all final payments must also be approved by the Council. This item pertains to the interpretation of the Pre- Council Minutes from the 1/27/86 Meeting. It was agreed that the Staff was to set up a second City/ Developer Meeting with attention focused on all zoning cases, not just R-8 zoning. The other item discussed was the Mayors Hall of Fame. It was decided that the mural and the pictures of all former Mayors will be placed in the Public Library, after it has been relocated, in an area designated as a historical section.

Motion carried 7-0. 7. PZ 85-59 PLANNING & ZONING - PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL HEARING - REQUEST OF RICHLAND HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST TO REZONE A PORTION OF LOT 1, BLOCK 25, SNOW HEIGHTS ADDITION AND TRACT 2B, W.W. WALLACE SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1606, FROM U (INSTITUTIONAL) AND R-7-MF (MULTI-FAMILY) TO C-1 (COMMERCIAL) (LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LOOP 820 EAST OF RUFE SNOW DRIVE) Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Ray Fulenwider, 7601 Hightower, representing the Church of Christ, appeared before the Council. Mr. Fulenwider stated that this property consisted of five and one-half acres located east of the present church which was presently zoned R-7 (Multi Family) on 1.9 acres and the remainder was zoned U (Institutional). Mr. Fulenwider stated this request was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 13, 1985 and was denied. Mr. Fulenwider stated that prior to the Planning and Zoning meeting they had written all of the neighbors and talked to many of them by telephone and discussed the plans. Mr. Fulenwider stated they were surprised at the June 13th meeting because they felt they had resolved most of the objections. Mr. Fulenwider stated there had been major changes since that meeting: 1) the church had sold its two main buildings to the city for a library/recreation center and other uses; 2) the February 10, 1986 Page 3 new Thoroughfare Plan designated Vance Road to be extended to IH 820 and would give the neighborhood access to IH 820 and relieve the traffic congestion in the area; 3) the church had granted the city a public access easement for Redondo to IH 820 to further help circulation; and 4) the Church was developing other streets in the Meadow Lakes Area to relieve traffic congestion on Rufe Snow. Mr. Fulenwider stated the need was much greater for commercial zoning than the MF (Multi-family) and U (Institutional) that it was presently zoned. Mr. Bob Hamm, 6201 Riveria, appeared before the Council. Mr. Hamm stated one of the main concerns of the Planning & Zoning Commission was increased traffic on Rufe Snow. Mr. Hamm stated he believed the zoning of C-1 on the property would be of help. Mr. Hamm stated that on their new site Colonial Parkway would be extended to enable the traffic to go to IH 820 and avoid getting on Rufe Snow. Mr. Hamm stated he felt the property in question was ideal for a strip center and they would be willing to restrict the zoning to exclude high-rise office buildings, hotels/motels and hospitals. Mr. Charles Owen, 6425 Martin, appeared before the Council. Mr. Owen stated they had a MAI Appraiser look at the property and give suggestions for the use. Mr. Owen stated there were two possible economical uses: a multi-story office building and single story light commercial. Mr. Owen stated the MAI's opinion was the property was better suited for single story light retail. Mr. Owen stated that market conditions indicate there was an over abundance of office space in the metroplex area and area investors were hesitant to commit funds for additional office sites. Mr. Owen stated that as far as the impact on abutting residential property there was no measurable difference between quality retail development and quality office development on property abutting residential neighborhoods so long as they were physically and psychologically separated. Mr. Ray Fulenwider, 7608 Hightower, reappeared before the Council. Mr. Fulenwider presented the following comments: Mr. Jack Roseberry felt it was a reasonable request and it would benefit the neighbors and the City; Doctor Kirby Williams felt it made good sense for the City to develop light commercial zoning along major streets to serve the community and better separate the tax base; Mr. John Hawkins felt commercial zoning was needed to balance out the development of the fast growing area; Dr. Elroy Cantrell felt the city needed to develop light commercial zoning to help the large residential area; and Josh Davis felt this was a reasonable and sensible zoning request. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mr. Ernest Hedgecoth, owner of property at 7001 Corona, appeared before the Council. February 10, 1986 Page 4 Mr. Hedgecoth stated he had been asked by 29 of the 31 property owners who lived within 200 feet of the property and opposed this request to represent them. Mr. Hedgecoth stated that all of the speakers who issued the comments did not live within 200 feet of the property and they were not going to have to live with the zoning. Mr. Hedgecoth stated they opposed the request for several reasons: 1) reduced property values; and 2) increased traffic, noise and trash problems that would be generated by Local Retail zoning. Mr. Hedgecoth stated that all operations were objectionable and they would like for the property to be zoned 0-1. Mr. Hedgecoth stated they would like to ask that a six foot masonry fence be required on the property. Mr. Hedgecoth respectively asked the Council to deny the request. Councilwoman Moody asked Mr. Hedgecoth if the neighborhood group had met with the Church and tried to work the 0-1 zoning out. Mr. Hedgecoth stated yes, that it had been mentioned. Councilwoman Moody asked if the request was denied how would they feel about having apartments on the property. Mr. Hedgecoth stated they wouldn't like it, but they could live with it. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked if Mr. Hedgecoth was in favor of Vance Road being extended through to the north. Mr. Hedgecoth stated, personally, no. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the Church was willing to place restrictions on the C-1 zoning and if there were negotiations between the Church and the property owners, were there other restrictions in C-1 that they could possible live with. Mr. Hedgecoth stated they would consider negotiations if the Church would consider 0-1 zoning. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked if a strip center would be satisfactory if there was a six foot masonry fence. Mr. Hedgecoth replied no. Mayor Echols advised that the City Council could either deny or approve the request, any other type of zoning would have to go back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Councilman Fisher asked if they were not concerned about a high rise office building being built on the property. Mr. Hedgecoth stated they would not be pleased, but it would be better than a strip center. Councilman Ramsey advised that restrictions could be placed on the C-1 zoning. February 10, 1986 Page 5 Attorney McEntire stated he hoped all parties involved realized that this could possibly not be the final say-so because if it was taken to the District Court they could zone it C-1 without any restrictions. Councilman Ramsey stated that he felt there was room for compromise and he thought the Church, the homeowners, and a councilperson should meet and try to work the situation out. Mr. Hedgecoth stated that he would be willing to negotiate with the Church. Councilman Ramsey stated the request could be tabled and an agreement worked out. Attorney McEntire stated that the Mayor should conclude the Public Hearing and reconvene the meeting after negotiations. Mr. Jim Cato, 6729 Corona, appeared before the Council. Mr. Cato stated that his main concern with the commercial zoning was increased traffic westbound on Corona. Mr. Cato stated Vance Road had been on the City's Thoroughfare Plan since the mid-60's and was not in a new development in this case. Mr. Cato stated he recognized the city could put limitations on the building heights but he would like to ask if the city had the prerogative to delete uses allowed under the city's Zoning Ordinance. Attorney McEntire stated they could delete uses allowed in the City's Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Echols granted rebuttal time. Mr. John Michiner, 2513 Norwood, Attorney for the Church, appeared before the Council. Mr. Michiner stated consideration should be given to what was the best use for the property. Mr. Michiner stated he felt that the traffic would be reduced with this type of zoning. Mr. Michiner stated that he would like to work out a compromise with the neighbors if the Church could be assured of coming back before the Council within one month. Mr. Michiner stated they would be willing to restrict the zoning. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. 8. ORDINANCE NO. 1255 APPROVED Councilman Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilwoman Moody, to appoint Mayor Pro Tem Davis representative to meet with the homeowners and the applicants to work out a compromise and come back to the Council no later than March 24th or come back in two weeks if something was worked out. * *Corrected 2/24/86 Councilman Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilwoman Moody, to withdraw the motion.

Mr. Delbert Stembridge, Engineer, representing Earl McKinney, appeared before the Council. Mr. Stembridge stated this property was adjacent to R-3 zoning on the south and R-2 zoning on the east. Mr. Stembridge stated they planned on constructing a street through to Davis Boulevard which would help alleviate traffic on Odell and Stonybrooke. Councilwoman Moody asked if they would consider 1600 square foot houses. Mr. Stembridge replied yes. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mr. V.L. Gibson, 8333 Odell, appeared before the Council. Mr. Gibson stated he was opposed to this request because the houses would not be the same type that were in Stonybrooke and it would also create more traffic. February 10, 1986 Page 7 Councilwoman Moody stated the houses would be the same as in Stonybrooke only the lots would be smaller. Mr. Don Chaille, 8405 Timberline, spokesman for the Stonybrooke area, appeared before the Council. Mr. Chaille stated he strongly opposed R-2 houses on R-3 lots. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. 10.

Mr. Delbert Stembridge, Engineer, appeared before the Council. Mr. Stembridge stated that this property was bounded by commercial on the north and west. Mr. Stembridge stated that Davis Boulevard was a major thoroughfare and you would not want to build a home that backed up to Davis. Mr. Stembridge stated he felt the highest and best use for the property was commercial. Councilman Kenna asked if a sight barring fence on the south and east would be installed. Mr. Stembridge replied yes. Councilwoman Hinkle asked if there would be no access to the residential areas from the property. Mr. Stembridge replied no. Mr. Stembridge asked the Council for rebuttal time. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. February 10, 1986 Page 8 Mr. V.L. Gibson, 8333 Odell, appeared before the Council. Mr. Gibson stated that commercial zoning would increase traffic and devalue property in the area and he felt it should be zoned residential. Mr. Gibson stated there was already enough commercial in the area and this would not be in the best interest for the city. Mr. Gibson asked that the Council vote against this request. Mr. Don Chaille, 8405 Timberline, appeared before the Council. Mr. Chaille stated it would devalue his property and he felt additional commercial in the area was not needed. Mayor Echols granted rebuttal time. Mr. Stembridge reappeared before the Council. Mr. Stembridge stated that Mr. Chaille's property backed up to existing commercial and was not within 200 feet of this request. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated there was an existing 15 foot easement along the south line of the property. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated there was a possibility a drainage channel would be put there and asked how wide the easement would be. Mr. Stembridge stated the Master Drainage Plan called for a 20 to 30 foot concrete channel. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that Mr. Stembridge would be required to erect a sight barring fence. Mr. Stembridge stated he was aware of the requirement for the fence. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the Public hearing. 12.

Mr. Satyanarayana stated he was concerned with the litter on his property, vandalism and the increase in traffic. Mayor Echols granted rebuttal time.
