The Parks Director and Board were directed to work with the Executive Committee of RYA and the Girls Softball League and work out a mutually agreeable timetable for for implementation. Action on this item will be postponed for 30 days to resolve any difficulties. Reverend Posey, from the Davis Memorial Methodist Church, appeared before the Council and asked that the entire assessment and interest due from the church be waived by the City Council. The City Attorney advised that this can not legally be done as the statutes treat this assessment in much the same way as it does property tax. Therefore, the Council does not have legal authority to waive this assessment. It was also pointed out that the church had 30 days from the time of the assessment hearing in 1980 to appeal the assessment. It was determined that the church members present would present a payment schedule in the open Council Meeting.

Councilman Ramsey stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission had worked very diligently establishing criteria and the Zoning Ordinance was very clear on the objectives that should be in certain classifications. Councilman Ramsey stated the dilemma he had was that if this request was approved then it would have to be done for every applicant that requested C-2 zoning. Mr. Pent stated that as investors they were sensitive to market conditions and maintained a posture in the market place that would allow equitable uses for the property. Mr. Pent stated he felt the C-2 zoning flexibility was needed for the property. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated the City was responsive to the needs of the City and the development.

Mr. Ackins stated that was right. Mayor Pro Tern Davis asked how high that would be compared to car level. Mr. Ackins stated it was the minimum height to catch the eye of the person driving on the freeway; approximately the same height as the North Texas Bank sign. Councilman Ramsey asked if anyone could recall why the Council had to approve the message part of the sign. Mr. Line stated that the Council had to approve all billboard permits and not because it was a message board.

Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated that the sign might advertise local businesses, but many times they did not. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated there were several pole signs there already - each restaurant had one and he felt it would be taking from the businesses already located there. Councilman Ramsey stated he had a problem with the safety factor. Councilman Ramsey stated that according to the Star Telegram analysis, the way people drove on the freeways and looking for a billboard to find dinner, he felt locating a billboard in this spot would be asking for trouble. Mr. Farris stated the sign would not necessarily be advertising a restaurant. October 13, 1986 Page 9 Councilman Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to deny SO 86-13. Motion carried 5-0. 23. GN 86-101 SUPPORT FOR CERTIFICATION OF ALL COACHES IN YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM, RESOLUTION NO. 86-39 POSTPONED Mayor Pro Tern Davis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Moody, to postpone Resolution No. 86-39 until November 10, 1986.

GN 86-108 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 10 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PERMIT INCENTIVE INCREASES IN APARTMENT ZONING WITH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT CONTROLS, ORDINANCE NO. 1409 DENIED Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor to please come forward. Mr. Line stated the proposed ordinance would modify the maximum unit density allowed on planned development multi-family sites. Mr. Line stated the intent of the ordinance would be to allow an incentive increase in the maximum density of units when the planned development site plan was submitted and approved by the Commission and the City Council. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition. Councilwoman Moody stated that a lot of thought went into the Zoning Ordinance in regard to the density on multi-family sites. Councilwoman Moody stated she felt the City would be compromising by increasing the density. Councilwoman Moody stated she was opposed to the ordinance. There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Echols closed the Public Hearing. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he had worked with the Planning and Zoning Commission as a liaison when the Zoning Ordinance was written and he would be the first to defend it. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he felt the Council needed to look at the controls they would have with this ordinance. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated the only difference in this ordinance and the original one was four units per acre. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated that the control the Council would have would be such as the location of the buildings, landscaping, etc. Councilman Fisher stated he was in favor of planned development if there were a way to hold the developer to it. Councilman Fisher stated he was October 13, 1986 Page 10 not in favor of 20 units per acre. Councilman Ramsey stated he felt the City had apartments under control at the present time. Councilman Ramsey stated he felt the ordinance did have a merit but he was not in favor of it. Councilwoman Moody stated that in response to Mayor Pro Tern Davis' statement some of the things sounded very attractive as to what the developer could be held to in planned development. The Council had been known to be flexible and fair minded. Councilwoman Moody stated that each case was looked at individually and she did not think the City had to go to a carte blanch on multi-family property. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated the Council would not get the chance to see the individual case or see a particular project because a variance could not be granted until this section of the Zoning Ordinance was changed. Mayor Echols stated he felt the planned development was an option the City needed. Councilwoman Moody moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to deny Ordinance No. 1409. Motion carried 3-2; Councilwoman Moody and Councilmen Ramsey, and Fisher voting for and Mayor Pro Tern Davis and Councilman Garvin voting against. *25.

Mayor Echols stated the Church was requesting the Council to waive the interest on the assessment on the subject property. Dr. Dean Posey, representing Davis Memorial United Methodist Church, appeared before the Council. Dr. Posey stated he felt that the City had not lost any money and requested the Council to waive the interest. Councilwoman Moody moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Davis, to waive the interest. Mr. McEntire advised the Council they could not waive the interest because it would be like waiving taxes. October 13, 1986 Page 11 Councilman Ramsey stated there were several citizens and businesses that had been assessed with interest and he felt the Council should stand behind the policies. After further discussion, Councilwoman Moody withdrew her motion and Mayor Pro Tern Davis withdrew his second.

CHARLES PARISH, PARISH HOMES RE: SIGN ORDINANCE Mr. Charles Parish, 5505-B Davis Blvd., appeared before the Council. Mr. Parish stated the City IS Sign Ordinance had been in effect since 1983 and until now he had no problems with the ordinance. Mr. Parish stated in the past the policy had been that no directional signs would be removed on the weekends and holidays. Mr. Parish stated there had been so many signs erected that it had gotten out of hand and he would like to apologize for the abuse. Mr. Parish stated that without the directional signs to advertise their various housing projects it was hard to promote their subdivision. Mr. Parish stated that the City of Arlington had a policy for weekend builder advertisement that he would like for the City to review. Mayor Echols advised this would be taken under advisement and the City Staff would like into the possibility of establishing a policy of weekend builder advertisement. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he would like to request that Mr. Parish work with the City Staff on coming up with a workable policy. Mr. Parish stated he would be willing to work with the Staff, but would like to see it in an ordinance rather than a policy. Ms. Margaret Bartley, 7721 Nor East, appeared before the Council.
