CONSIDERATION OF FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR TRACTS 1 AND 2, EULESS SQUARE (LOCATED AT NORTH- WEST CORNER OF S.H. 183 AND RAIDER Chairman Weber read a letter dated November 2, 1970, from the City's Consulting Engineers, as follows : "As requested by Mr. Bullard, we have reviewed the plans for Euless Square, Tracts 1 and 3. We would suggest the addition of dedicated easements for the two water lines which penetrate this tract from the North, since they will apparently be con- sidered on the City side of the meter. Except for this comment, the plans submitted are in compliance with your City standards in our opinion." Chairman Weber recognized Mr. Walter A. Elliott, Jr. , who introduced Messrs. E. W. Berry and W. B. Matney, representing the Marketing Division of Humble Oil Company, and Mr. Howard Decker, Architect for Messrs. Vernon Smith and James Smith. Mr. Elliott stated that Tract 1 , Euless Square, will be developed by Humble Oil Company as a service station site, and Tract 3 is proposed as an apartment development, to be developed by Messrs. Smith. Mr. Elliott advised that there are no definite plans for Tract 2, at this time; therefore, it was excluded from this request. Mr. Elliott reminded Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission that the Preliminary Plat for the subject property divided it into only two (2) tracts; however, the northern por- tion of Tract 2 is now designated as Tract 3. He advised that water and sewer lines have been designed in compliance with the preliminary plans and only minor changes have been made. (Mr. Cline arrived at this time.) Responding to questions from Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, Mr. Decker advised that Tract 3 consists of approximately 8.7 acres -- that one hundred, fifty (150) units are pro- posed -- that the density is approximately 17.14 per acre, and parking spaces in excess of two per unit will be provided. Mr. Bullard advised that an adjustment of the easement will be required -- that he is of the opinion a fire truck cannot get around the corners -- that a fifty (50) foot radius is needed, and the plans indicate only about forty (40) feet. (Page Three, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, November 3, 1970) Mr. Elliott advised that ingress and egress will be from Raider Drive -- that from the North driveway, traffic can travel either North or South on Raider; however, traffic from the South driveway must travel southward, because of the median in Raider Drive. Mr. Elliott advised that Tract 3 will be a separate enclosed unit, with a fence on the North side and, possibly, on the South also, depending on the type of development on Tract 2. In reply to questions, Mr. Elliott stated that Tract 3 is adjacent to Central Junior High School -- that the existing dirt road is located on the school property, and the driveway indicated on the layout plat for Euless Square will parallel the existing road. He ad- vised that the driveways have been designated as Fire Lanes so everyone will know they should be open at all times. Responding to Chairman Weber's questions, Mr. Decker advised that thirty-two (32) one bedroom apartments, ninety-four (94) two bedroom apartments and twenty-four (24) three bedroom apartments are proposed for this development. Mr. Decker presented a sketch and eleva- tion for review of Members of the Commission, advising that construction materials include wood shingle gables, plywood with stucco finish,and brick. Mr. Cline moved to recommend approval of the Final Plat for Tracts 1 and 3, Euless Square, as presented, providing all requirements are met in accordance with the Building Code. Mr. Arth seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes : Messrs. Cline, Arth, Leggett and Weber Nays : None Chairman Weber declared the motion carried. IV.
