Mr. Richard Davis motioned for approval with the following stipulations: 1)
sidewalks of Lots 22 & 23 will be constructed when new homes are built, and on
Lot 24 when a permit for addition or renovation to existing house is requested, or
2) when Lot 24 is subdivided and a permit is requested, or 3) when the City

PS 2001-14

GLENWYCK ADDITION REQUESTED BY RICHARD W. RUSSELL ON 13.33
ACRES OF LAND IN THE 6400 BLOCK OF GLENVIEW DRIVE.
APPROVED
Mrs. Horton reviewed the plat for the Commission. She pointed out that the
major change is in Lot 48. This area was presented to the Commission as a 2-
foot detention easement and is now proposed as a much larger, deeper drainage
facility.
John Pitstick's biggest concern is the wording in the Maintenance Agreement for
the continued maintenance of the detention easement.
Richard Davis motioned for approval with the following stipulations:
· A 5-foot fence maintenance easement be added to the South line of
Lot 1.
· Fencing within Lot 48 is to be wrought iron with masonry columns as
on the exhibit drawing.
· Add a street light.
· The Homeowner Association maintenance agreement be reviewed by
the staff prior to forwarding the plat to City Council.
· Note on the plat that the Homeowner Association, which will be
established concurrently to the filing of this plat will maintain the
detention easement.
James Laubacher seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously (4-0).

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATE
Mrs. Horton reviewed eight changes made to the plan since the last P&Z work
session: 1) On Martin Drive - extended the office designation to lots adjacent to
the Home Depot site. 2) Removed neighborhood service designation at Bursey
and Smithfield Road. 3) Changed designation for Rumfield and Precinct Line
from office to retail. 4) Holiday Lane owner requested a change to neighborhood
service from institutional. This has been done. 5) Mr. Wang's property at Davis
and Hightower-changed to 300 feet of depth to retail along the Davis frontage.
The rest to remain residential. 6) Kent Davis residential near Town Center -
Commission decided to designate 300 feet deep to neighborhood service on
Cardinal Lane and remainder to retail. 7) Food Lion South on Grapevine
Highway incorporated into strategic planning area, and 8) to remove Little Bear
Creek designation on the area platted and approved for single family residential
lots in the Forest Glenn East subdivision.
Regarding the update to the Thoroughfare Plan and the extension of Shady
Grove Road to North Tarrant Parkway; there is a TIA study to be done on this
area which could result in possible changes to the alignment. The study will be
done in June and staff suggested to wait until the study is completed to make
recommendations.
Three letters had been received since the last P&Z work session: 1) Starnes and
Davis is shown as residential. Homeowner requests to show some retail
designation on this site to match existing zoning. 2) Mid Cities and Simmons at
8713 Cardinal Lane is zoned light industrial but shown as Town Center on the
map. Homeowner would like to request that it be changed to industrial. 3) Rufe
Snow and Bursey Road is shown office. To provide a buffer to residential
zoning, Mrs. Horton requested the plan be forwarded to the May 14th city council
meeting.
Chairman Don Bowen and Richard Davis made remarks that there needs to be a
buffer for the Birdville High School to not have industrial development by the high
school. Mr. Davis also suggests that an amendment should be made showing a
2nd access road to the subdivision near Shady Grove. The commission decided
not to make any changes based on the new letters received.
Richard Davis motioned, seconded by Tim Welch, to adopt the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan, the Strategic Planning Area Plan and the Thoroughfare Plan
without any additions or deletions to the Land Use Plan. The motion carried (4-0)
unanimously.
