PS 2001-22 REQUEST FROM MICHAEL O'NEAL FOR THE APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF LOT 3R1, AND LOTS 6R THROUGH 10R BLOCK 2, CULP ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 6800 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD. Page 1 11/08/01 P & Z Minutes APPROVED Tim Welch abstained from discussion and vote due to a conflict of interest. Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating a Final Plat of Lot 3R1 and Lots 6R through 10R, Block 2, Culp Addition had been submitted for final approval. The purpose of this replat is to reconfigure the existing lot patterns to coincide with the phases of the applicant's proposed development. The applicant recently received the site plan approval for an office/warehouse development at this location. The applicant revised this site plan and has resubmitted it for the Commission's consideration. The revised site plan is included on this agenda. Staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to the applicant complying with staff comments. In addition, the applicant's traffic consultant provided an updated letter concerning the timing of a proposed traffic light at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and NE Parkway required by this development. Doug Blue, seconded by George Tucker, motioned to approve subject to staff and engineering comments. Motion was approved 6-0-1 with Tim Welch abstaining. 5. PZ 2001-22 REQUEST FROM MICHAEL O'NEAL FOR A REVISED SITE PLAN APPROVAL OF A PROPOSED OFFICEIWAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN 200 FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 6840 DAVIS BOULEVARD. APPROVED Tim Welch abstained from discussion and vote due to a conflict of interest. Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating this case was previously approved at the September 27,2001 meeting subject to stipulations of the site plan reflecting staff engineering comments, landscaping fronting Odell Street, Davis Boulevard and Northeast Parkway, screening walls adjacent to all residential properties in the initial construction of Phase I, and the driveway geometry onto Davis Boulevard being shown clearly on the north driveway. This was originally configured as a one-lot development. Based on the Commission comments, the applicant would now like to develop into six lots and develop in different phases. Based on this, staff can support the request to install landscaping as each site develops. Page 2 11/08/01 P & Z Minutes Staff recommends approval of the revised plan subject to comments from Public Works and the Fire Department. Doug Blue, seconded by George Tucker, motioned to approve subject to staff comments. Motion was approved 6-0-1, with Tim Welch abstaining. 6. PS 2001-28 REQUEST FROM DAN QUINTO, REPRESENTING ARCADIA HOLDINGS, INC. FOR THE APPROVAL OF A REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT OF HOME TOWN NRH ADDITION, FORMALLY NRH TOWN CENTER ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 8700 BLOCK OF BRIDGE STREET. APPROVED Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized case by stating a revised Preliminary Plat of Home Town NRH Addition had been submitted by Dan Quinto of Arcadia Holdings, Inc. The Development Review Committee reviewed the plat for compliance with the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. As compared with the approved preliminary plat, the revised plat shows a reduction in the number of residential lots. The applicant's engineer maintains that the number of residential lots proposed will fluctuate according to market demands as each phase is developed. Some individual lot configurations have been revised with the addition of alleyways or alleyway extensions. The revised plat, however, does propose changes to street alignments, intersections and pavement cross sections. These thoroughfare street revisions will be presented to the Commission for consideration in the near future. Approval of this revised preliminary plat will be contingent upon the approval of the proposed thoroughfare changes. Staff recommends approval of the revised preliminary plat subject to the comments outlined by Public Works. The plat should also reflect the correct residential lot totals and acreage devoted to commercial/residential use. Additionally, amendments to Ordinance 2350 and 2360 will be needed to be made to reflect new street cross sections CS 1 06-60 and CS 100-60. Scott Turnage, seconded by Don Pultz, motioned to approve subject to staff comments. Motion carried unanimously 7-0. 7. PS 2001-38 REQUEST FROM OWEN LONG, ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER, FOR THE APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF FOREST GLENN EAST ADDITION, PHASE I LOCATED IN THE 8500 BLOCK OF NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY. Page 3 11/08/01 P & Z Minutes APPROVED Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating the plat was previously approved by the Commission on April 12, 2001 as PS 2000-11 subject to comments by Public Works. The City Council denied the request due to a lack of information from the Corps of Engineers concerning authorization and conditions to develop in a designated wetland area. The Council's action did include the waiving of fees should the applicant wish to resubmit the site plan request. The applicant has recently received approval from the Corps and has resubmitted the plat request. Staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to approval of the final construction plans by Public Works. In addition, a comment that the mitigation area identified by the Corps of Engineers should be dedicated to the City by separate instrument and the area and volume and page shall be shown on the final plat of this addition. Douglas Long, representing the property owner, asked about engineering comments mentioned by Cathy Horton. Mike Walker from Public Works stated that all the comments on the plat had been resolved. Mr. Long also asked about the wetlands document being signed and made a part of the plat. He objected feeling that the wetlands are not part of the plat. He didn't have a problem filing the separate instrument with the plat, but they are not one in the same. Tim Welch asked about the off-site mitigation being done during construction. Mr. Long replied that there wasn't any, other than to grass the wetlands. Tim Welch, seconded by Don Pultz, motioned to approve subject to staff comments. Motion carried unanimously 7-0. 8. PS 2001-43 REQUEST FROM DAN QUINTO, REPRESENTING ARCADIA HOLDINGS, INC., FOR THE APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF HOME TOWN BRIDGE STREET BRIDGE ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 8700 BLOCK OF BRIDGE STREET. APPROVED Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating a final plat of Home Town Bridge Street Bridge Addition has been submitted for approval by Dan Quinto of Arcadia Holdings, Inc. This plat includes only that portion of Bridge Street that spans the water feature of the Hometown NRH project. Staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to comments by Public Works. Tim Welch asked the applicant to describe the bridge to the commission. Page 4 11/08/01 P & Z Minutes Dan Quinto approached and gave a brief description of the bridge. James Laubacher, seconded by Doug Blue, motioned to approve subject to staff comments. Motion carried unanimously 7-0. 9.

FOR THE APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF LOTS 3R1R, 3R2R, AND 3R3R2, BLOCK 2, WALKER BRANCH ADDITION LOCATED IN THE 8700 BLOCK OF GRAPEVINE HIGHWAY. APPROVED Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating that this case was previously approved by the Commission under case number PS 2000-53. The case was placed on the October 22,2001 agenda for the City Council, but was denied due to the absence of applicant representation. The council waived the application fees and the applicant has resubmitted an identical plat. The purpose of this replat is to accommodate the expansion of the existing Weinerschnitzel Restaurant. Staff recommends approval of the final plat. George Tucker, seconded by Tim Welch, motioned to approve subject to staff comments. Motion carried unanimously 7-0. 10. PZ 2001-19 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM CHESTER ROSS, ON BEHALF OF PROPERTY OWNER KAE SON KO FOR A ZONING CHANGE ON 1.006 ACRES FROM THE LR LOCAL RETAIL COMMERCIAL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR ALL LR LOCAL RETAIL USES PLUS A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH ACCESSORY GASOLINE SALES. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT 8015 GLENVIEW DRIVE POSTPONED Tim Welch asked if the property is 1.081 or 1.006 acres. Cathy Horton stated that based on information filed in the Planning Office, the acreage is 1.006. If there is a discrepancy, the applicant should show evidence of the change. Page 5 11/08/01 P & Z Minutes Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized the case by stating that the case had been heard at the previous meeting, and the applicant was advised to make some changes to the request. The applicant had made changes to landscaping and canopy elevations, however the roof doesn't meet the appropriate criteria, and the drawings don't reflect the brick around the columns. Chairman Don Bowen re-opened the public hearing. Dennis Bohon, with C.W. Ross Construction, came forward to answer any questions. Tim Welch explained that the roof of the canopy needs to have a continuous pitch to the apex, and that the structure should be moved toward the north an additional 10-15 feet. Plans submitted need to reflect actual changes, rather than noting them. Property owner Kae Ko came forward and stated he was unclear as to the definition of the pitched canopy. Commission advised conferring with staff as to the definition. Applicant requested a two-week postponement to make additional changes. Don Pultz, seconded by Tim Welch, motioned to postpone until 11-20-01. Motion carried 6-1 with George Tucker voting against. 11. PZ 2001-31 REQUEST FROM KEVIN SMITH FOR REVISED SITE PLAN APPROVAL OF A PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING WITHIN 200 FEET OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE 8200 BLOCK OF MID-CITIES BOULEVARD. APPROVED Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton summarized case by stating Kevin Smith is requesting approval of a revised site plan for an office building within 200 feet of residential zoning. This request was approved by the Commission on September 27, 2001 as PZ 2001-24 with several stipulations. Rezoning of this site from AG Agricultural to 0-1 Office was also approved at the same meeting. The rezoning was approved at the October 22, 2001 Council meeting. The site plan request was denied based on the desire to have the building front or entryway face Mid- Cities Boulevard, rather than to the west. The Council did waive fees should the applicant wish to resubmit the site plan request. The applicant has resubmitted the site plan and has taken the basic design and rotated the building so that the front entry is now facing Mid-Cities Boulevard. Page 6 11/08/01 P & Z Minutes Sam Knoll, representing Kevin Smith, came forward to answer questions. Chairman Don Bowen asked about the upper rear building window and what it faced. Mr. Knoll stated this was a window to an office. Tim Welch, seconded by Don Pultz, motioned to approve. Motion carried unanimously 7-0. 12.
