HELD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT CASE NO.20- 11-SUP AND RECOMMENDED AN ORDINANCE Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing at 6:36 p.m. Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. Urban Grooming is seeking a revised Specific Use Permit. The company has been operating for many years in the City of Euless at this location. The ownership is modifying the owner of record for the business. The Specific Use Permit that was last approved by the City Council was in March 2017. The April 2015, the business expanded to allow for overnight care (kenneling) of dogs. No more than ten (10) animals are boarded at one time. The company tracks vaccination records for all animals boarding with them. All animals are exercised outdoors on leash and any excrement is immediately picked up and disposed of properly. Since approval of the Specific Use Permit in March 2017, there have not been any code compliance issues with the operation of the business. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: a. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the business owner; Kelsi George and, b. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the Business Name: Urban Grooming LLC; and, c. All animals shall be kept within clean and safe conditions; and, d. Tracking of animal vaccinations shall be kept within business records; and, e. The Specific Use Permit may be revoked if one or more of the conditions imposed by this permit has not been met or has been violated. Chairman McNeese asked to hear from the applicant. Ms. Kelsi George, one of the owners of Urban Grooming, stated that she has been a part of the business ownership since opening; however, the listed Managing Owner, Mrs. Matthews, is no longer a part of the business. She also mentioned that this request for a new specific use permit is to have Mrs. Matthews removed.

A final plat establishes the appropriate easements for the development, enabling the required public infrastructure to be constructed for the development. The final plat is for a single lot containing an elementary school. The final plat conforms to the standards of the zoning district.

Commissioner Owens made a motion to approve Case No. 19-04-RP for a Replat to be located on 11.242 acres out of the Solomon Huitt Survey Abstract No. 705 to be platted as International Village Addition Block A, Lot 1 R located at 701 International Drive. Commissioner Ellis seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Vice Chairman Portugal and Commission Members: Brown, Dunckel, Ellis, Owens and Wilson. Nays: None Abstention: None Chairman McNeese declared the motion carried. (7-0-0) ITEM 5. APPROVED REPLAT CASE NO. 20-07-RP Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. On July 21, 2020 the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing regarding the replat of this R-1 single family lot into four (4) R-1 single family lots. Due to the plat not meeting the technical requirements of the City of Euless and State Law, staff informed the Commission that the replat was required to be denied. The replat did not label the setback distance restrictions contained in the original Oakland Estates recorded plat. Section 84- 412(b)(3) of the Euless Unified Development Code states that a replat may be recorded Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 6 August 18, 2020 if the replat: "Does not attempt or remove and covenants or restrictions previously incorporated in the final plat." The replat as previously submitted had removed the setback distances of fifty (50') feet parallel to Oak Lane and one hundred (100')feet parallel to N. Main Street. Staff informed the Planning and Zoning Commission, the applicant, and the public, at that time that the applicant could resubmit the replat with the setbacks labeled appropriately. If this was done, the technical requirements of the Euless Unified Development Code and the Zoning District would then be satisfied and the Planning and Zoning Commission would be compelled by State Law to approve the replat. The applicant proposes to replat the above described property by subdividing the lot into four (4) lots for three (3) individual single-family residences. Lot 1 R4 at the southwest corner of Oak Lane and N. Main Street will have setback distances of fifty (50') feet from Oak Lane and ninety (90') feet from N. Main Street due to the fact that ten (10') feet of the original lot was dedicated as Right-of-Way for N. Main Street in 1977. These conditions make lot 1 R4 conforming to the zoning and restrictions, but essentially unable to be built upon. The remaining three lots, will have the fifty (50') setback distance from Oak Lane and will conform to the R-1 zoning district. The zoning district requires lots to be a minimum of 7,500 square feet in area. All four of the lots are slightly greater than 20,000 square feet. Each of the three developable lots will be developed as a single-family residential lot with individual addressing. No zoning change is taking place with this subdivision. The Development Services Group (DSG) has reviewed and certified that the replat for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission has met all of the information required for consideration by the City of Euless. Staff recommends approval of the replat. Mr. Gary Waldron, son of the resident at 300 Oak Lane, asked to speak to the Commission. He stated that most of the residents of Oak Lane are not in favor of this replat. They would like to see the subdivision remain as is with wooded and spacious lots. There were no questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Brown made a motion to approve Case No. 20-07-RP for a Replat of 1.8 acres out of property previously platted as Oakland Estates Block 2, Lot 1 into Oakland Estates Block 2, Lots 1 R1, 1 R2, 1 R3, and 1 R4. Commissioner Ellis seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Vice Chairman Portugal and Commission Members: Brown, Dunckel, Ellis, Owens and Wilson. Nays: None Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 6 August 18, 2020 Abstention: None Chairman McNeese declared the motion carried. (7-0-0) ITEM 5.
