Paul Kruckemeyer, City Engineer, stated the drainage would PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 - PAGE THREE be taken care of during the construction design and the pond would be used for drainage. Commissioner Owens asked the staff about the entrance into Westpark Way. Mr. Kruckemeyer explained the street cut requirements being only two approaches with a median providing two way traffic to accommodate firelane requirements with adequate space for traffic on either side. Commissioner Owens asked Mr. Carbone if the building would contain fire sprinklers. Mr. Carbone replied, "yes". Commissioner Owens asked if Mr. Kruckemeyer and the Engineering Department was satisfied with the project. Mr. Kruckemeyer stated the plan met adequate parking requirements for the City of Euless and staff was aware of the amount of parking being used along the street. In the near future this will be a no parking area and the developer needs to be made aware of this. Commission Owens asked Mr. Carbone if the parking on the street would be taken care of with the 108 parking spaces. Mr. Carbone stated there would not be parking on the street when the second building was erected. Commissioner Owens asked Mr. Carbone if he had considered a rock front. Mr. Carbone replied he didn't feel a rock front facing was necessary behind the main building which faces Westpark Way and 200 yards from Hwy 10. Paul Kruckemeyer stated the fence on the north side of the building presently had a container to collect construction material and the company would not be allowed to have storage once construction was complete. The site will include dumpster type containers unless a screening fence is installed. Mr. Carbone assured the staff that dumpster screening would be provided if necessary. The motion was made by Commissioner Shuler to approve Site Plan #96-16-SP as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner McMillon. Commissioner Owens had concerns with having a rock or stone front on the building on either side fronting Westpark Way and/or Hwy. 10. Mr. Carbone stated the existing building would not always be their flagship facility and their plans are to have a larger and much more impressive engineering facility that will front on Hwy. 10 and will not be a metal building. Chairman Young asked that Ms. Barbara Polk state her concerns. Ms. Barbara Polk, owner of 1 1/2 acres south of the proposed project voiced her concerns of the integrity of the City in its ability to follow the Master Plan, zoning and restrictions affecting the property values. Ms. Polk passed around pictures showing her property as a result of �,, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 - PAGE FOUR inadequate parking on Mr. Carbone's project. Ms. Polk asked if staff and the City could guarantee that property values would increase. Ms. Polk asked the City to stop deviating from the Master Plan and asked that she be notified of any changes taking place near her property. Chairman Young asked Mr. Bass to explain the Site Plan requirements for public notification. Mr. Bass stated proper notification was made through the posting of the agenda on the Administration Buildings "A" bulletin board. Commissioner Owens commented about the rock/brick front on the building, the 108 parking spaces if and when the parking spaces are filled and did we have a system in place where the City could enforce parking violations. Mr. Bass stated if necessary, the City would go out on complaint calls and have an inspector observe if a violation has occurred, of which the City could pull the Certificate of Occupancy.

Chairman Young asked the Engineering Department if the City was requiring the removal of trees in the creek. Mr. Kruckemeyer stated the Engineering Department hadn't seen the drainage numbers or the flow calculations, but the City had discussed the issue with Mr. Goodwin and felt that the channel could handle the flow. He stated he had walked the channel and there were concerns about erosion but he did not feel that complete channel work from one end to the other was necessary.

Jim Piper, 506 Claymore, asked if the smaller lot sizes required cutting down more of the trees. Mr. Goodwin stated not necessarily, and then described, the process in determining lot sizes and grades regarding the removal of trees. They are working with the City's Parks Department, marking the trees 4 inches in diameter or greater that they can save and set aside an area to stock the trees the city is going to transplant. A citizen asked the applicant the price range of the homes. Mr. Phillips stated the homes would sell for between $110,000 - $150,000. Commissioner McMillion commented if this case was approved as a zoning case there would be opportunity to see a land plan and a site plan. Commissioner Owens stated the City would be proud of this development and it might help with the crime and other problems in this area.

Residents from a development near Item 2, expressed their concerns of property values of houses in the area with commercial businesses right at their back fence. The citizens mentioned to the Commissioners and staff to please be careful in proposing land use because it may depreciate property.

Mr. Bass continued with Item 9, the Wilshire Elementary is recommended to be low density residential, Item 10, is currently a residential land plan and the staff felt it to be more feasible to make the site commercial because north of the property is multi- family and south of property is commercial. Mr. Bass concluded the explanation of the Planning and Zoning recommended changes to the 1993 Comprehensive Land Development Plan by giving Chairman Young the opportunity of open the Public Hearing. Chairman Young opened the Public Hearing by asking the audience to come forward and state if they were for or against the proposed change. Chairman Young asked if there was anyone to speak for or against the proposed change to Item 1. Ms. Barbara Polk, 716 Koen Drive stated her concerns about the density of apartments in that area. Chairman Young explained to her this piece of property would be low density which is single family dwellings. Chairman Young skipped over to Item 3, for anyone to speak for or against.

Mr. McMillon stated he wanted the property to be commercial. Chairman Young asked for comments to Items 5 & 6. Mr. Ford, stated concerns of Item 6, because a portion of this land was on his property.
