FURTHER DISCUSSION OF UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Chairman Weber recognized Mr. Bill Ratliff, representing the firm Knowlton-Ratliff-English-Collins, who was recently instructed by the City to update the City's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Ratliff advised that the proposed Updated Comprehensive Plan was reviewed by the Euless City Council at their last regular council meeting. Mr. Ratliff stated that the Council was of the opinion approval of the route for Highway 360 as shown on the proposed plan would be an invitation for the Airport Authority to take additional land, and were of the opinion it would be better to extend Highway 360 along the western perimeter of the airport as far North as possible. Chairman Weber reminded Mr. Ratliff that this possibility had been discussed previously by Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission. In reply to a question from Chairman Weber, Mr. Ratliff stated that the City of Irving is apparently faced with the same problem. Members of the Commission discussed the possibility of this problem. Mr. Bullard asked if the location of the highway would make any difference, if the Airport Authority decided to take additional land . Mr. Ratliff advised that he is of the opinion it would be more difficult for the Authority to show a need for the land as a part of their operation, if the highway separates the Airport from Euless' industrial area. In reply to a question, Mr. Ratliff advised that shifting Highway 360 to the Eastern boundary of Euless ' industrial area (within the Airport boundaries) , and extending it north- ward as far as possible will separate a corner tract of approximately ninety (90) acres from the remaining area which is proposed for industrial zoning. Mr. Cline inquired concerning the possibility of going before the Airport Board with a contract concerning this particular area. Mr. Ratliff stated that the Council discussed getting the Board to commit themselves, but most of the Council Members were of the opinion they would not get any place. (Pape Five, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, June 16, 19701 Mr. Cline stated that he would be in favor of submitting a contract to the Board and giving them thirty (30) slays to act on it, and if they did not do anything for the City of Euless to move the highway from its proposed location eastward. In reply to a question, Mr. Ratliff advised that he is of the opinion the State will put the highway wherever the City and Airport Authority agree to locate it providing the curves are restricted to a three (3) degree angle; however, if the City and Airport Authority do not agree on a location, the State will pyt it where they want to. Mr. Ratliff advised that the Euless City Council requested that he present their recommendation for changing the location of Highway 360, for consideration by Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Cline moved to recommend that Highway '60 be placed outside the Eastern boundary of Euless ' industrial area, within the boundaries of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport , concurring with the recommendation of the City Council . Mr. Leggett seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Cline, Leggett, Arth and Tench Nays: None Chairman Weber declared the motion carried. VI .
