He stated this was a revised site plan for Chem Spray. He stated the Commissioners had approved a previous site plan and during the course of review by the State, it was determined that the applicant make two changes. The submittal indicates a revised parking layout as required by the Texas Architectural Barriers Review and also, reflects the owner's acceptance of the additive alternate for two covered parking spaces. Mr. Bass stated the additional request was relative to the outside screening fence and the barrier perimeter fencing. The previous plan showed a 10' high solid cedar fence with metal support post. The applicant is now requesting the rear portion to be 6' high chain link fence with metal support posts. He stated there is no required coverage for screening because there will be no back side storage. Mr. Bass stated staff had reviewed the request and recommended approval. Mr. Bass explained the process of the State Architectural Barriers Review Committee and why the changes were recommended based on state guidelines. Mr. Chris Newton, Chem Spray North, Fort Worth, Texas was present to answer PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - PAGE THREE DECEMBER 17, 1996 questions from the Commissioners. There was discussion among the Commissioners regarding the changes to the proposed fencing. The Commissioners informed the applicant there would be no outside storage permitted.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CONVEYANCE PLAT - #P-96-26 - MORRISDALE ADDITION Consideration of the request from Mr. and Mrs. Jerald Jenkins, for approval of a conveyance plat for 1.7 acres out of the Morrisdale Addition, Block 13, Lots 16-B through 20-B and Lot 22 Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development, introduced the Conveyance Plat. He stated the request consisted of 5 lots in the rear of the property. The applicant desired to sell off and transfer title via a conveyance plat to the five buyers. Mr. Bass stated the conveyance plat had been reviewed in great detail by the DRC and staff members and recommended approval. He stated the developer had submitted a corrected copy of the conveyance plat to the Commissioners for their review. The previous plat had two calls within the Owner's Certificate that did not agree with the drawing on the Owner's Certificate referred to 8.15 acres of land and the title referred to 1.704 acres being out of the Hunt Survey. Paul Kruckemeyer, City Engineer stated the remainder of the land is either out of a different survey or the acreage is a typographical error in the title. Upon approval of the plat, both owners will be required to sign the plat prior to filing. Commissioner Owens asked for the minutes to reflect his statement for the need for additional personnel to assist in providing quality prepared cases to the Commission without errors. Mr. Bass responded by apologizing to the Commission for the errors and stated the Conveyance Plat had been complex and not something that is often presented to staff for review or something that surveyors deal with consistently. He stated staff had caught numerous errors and Mr. Jenkins had been under a great deal of pressure to get the case before the Commission because of the title transfer. He apologized again for the case not being perfect before the Commission. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - PAGE FOUR DECEMBER 17, 1996 Commissioner Zahn made the motion to approve the corrected Conveyance Plat #P-96- 26. Commissioner Eggers seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Commissioners Zahn, Eggers, Owens, Shuler, McMillon, Young Nays: None The motion carried. OLD BUSINESS: Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development, discussed Case #96-16-LP, Ryland Homes Subdivision in southeast Euless, which had previously been heard by the Commissioners. He stated part of their motion was contingent on the City Engineer working with the City Council to approval a drainage variance for the preservation of the creek in a natural state. He informed the Commissioners that he nor the City Engineer realized the code very clearly states it is within the purview of the City Engineer to make such a decision and the case does not require City Council action. Mr. Bass stated the City Engineer had reviewed all submittals from the developer and granted the variance per his authority. Paul Kruckemeyer, City Engineer, stated he approved the variance which allows the developer to leave a portion of the channel in its natural state. He stated the developer is doing a vast amount of erosion control and slope protection. He informed the Commissioners he had walked the channel several times and identified the areas where there might be erosion problems. There was discussion among the Commissioners and staff regarding the drainage on the property, the creek in its natural state and clarification on the issue of the motion. The case will come back before the Commissioners for further consideration. Commissioner Owens stated he wanted the minutes to reflect that he felt the citizens of Euless would be in for some major drainage problems with the variance approval.
