All necessary dimensions, bearings, etc., have been added to the plat. 4. Engineer has not received input from Texas Power & Light. He stated he will add any required easements when so notified. C5. Engineer stated that the City Engineer has the necessary executed documents for the abandonment of a portion of the right-of-way of North Main Street. 6.

He stated that it may have been addressed in the Homeowner's Agreement which the City Attorney is reviewing at this time. 7. The City Attorney is reviewing the Homeowner's Agreement.

The drainage to be carried on private property adjacent to North Main Street right-of-way will be part of the Perpetual Maintenance Agree- ment. 4. The width of the drainage easements for the overflow channel has been addressed on the plans. 5. The ditches have been graded to drain away from the temporary crossing. Page Three - Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, December 7, 1982 C Mr. Knight suggested they use concrete instead of asphalt for the temporary drive. Mr. Unzicker agreed. The questioning referred back to the North Main Street right-of-way abandonment mentioned in Item #5, Final Plat. Mr. Unzicker stated that the developer plans to construct North Main Street, but does not want it to be tied to the plans. Mr. Knight asked if the developer intends to fill in that area to be abandoned to the same height as the existing embankment on North Main Street. Mr. Unzicker stated that the building pads will be approximately at the North Main Street level. Mr. Lynch inquired if that involved all lots. Mr. Unzicker stated that all lots would be within one to two feet. Mr. Knight stated that is different from what he reads on the plans. Mr. Tyson stated his concern that if North Main Street is not tied to the plat, how can the Commission be assured that it will be done. 0 Mr. Lynch felt that all provisions for North Main Street embankment structural support and any purtenances that go with maintaining the roadway sections, should be retained within the dedicated right-of-way of the City. Mr. Knight stated that the Park Board has not reviewed the open space. He stated Bob Phillips has not seen the plan, but he is generally agreed to it. Mr. McMillon asked Mr. Unzicker if he was agreeable to Mr. Lynch's suggestion. Mr. Unzicker stated he was. After a considerable amount of discussion, Mr. Lynch made a motion to recommend approval of the final platting of McCormick Farm - Phase Three A with the following conditions: 1. Subject to Comments addressed in Rod Tyler's letter dated December 3, 1982, with Item #5, Engineering Plans, being modified to indicate that the temporary driveway access from North Main Street into the addition be constructed of concrete. 2. Stipulation that the City not agree to abandon that portion of the North Main Street right-of-way that exists on the southern half i.e., that sufficient area be retained by the City to provide for structural support of the embankment slope for North Main Street and provide any drainage that the engineering staff deems necessary for North Main Street in that C area. Also, provide a breakdown of the runoff in the area so that the exact quantity of water that will flow through the open swell can be evaluated. Page Four - Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, December 7, 1982 4. Staff have at least seven (7) days to review the plans before it goes to C City Council. 5. The drainage area in the vicinity behind the curb of North Main Street requested for abandonment be restricted so that it does not pick up water off of existing Main Street and carry it into the addition. Mr. Cotten seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Lynch, Cotten, Williamson, McMillon, and Tyson Nays: None Acting Chairman Williamson declared the motion carried. II. PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING CASE #380 - REQUEST OF BOBBY HARRELL FOR CHANGE OF ZONING FROM R-1, R-3/CUD, AND C-2 TO R-5/CUD AND C-2 ON TRACTS 4B, 4B5, 4B6, AND A PORTION OF 4E, R. CROWLEY SURVEY, A-312, LOCATED SOUTH OF LITTLE BEAR CREEK, EAST OF FULLER-WISER ROAD, WEST OF AIRPORT PROPERTY AND NORTH OF HARWOOD ROAD Acting Chairman Bob Williamson explained the rules of the public hearing and stated that the proponents would be heard first and then the opponents. Mr. Paul Spain of Terra International presented the request for rezoning. Mr. Williamson asked if there were any additional proponents. There being none, he asked for any opponents. Mr. Bobby Heath of the Planning & Engineering Department at D-FW Airport addressed a letter from their office to the Commission in which they did not recommend any residential development in Noise Zone "B". There being no additional opponents, Acting Chairman Williamson declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Tyson stated his concern about the density. Mr. Spain pointed out that they agree to the previous building standards and avigation easement. Mr. Lynch also stated his concern about the R-5 density, however, that it is a small portion in relation to the entire area. Mr. Tyson preferred that East Ash Lane tie in someway with proposed S.H. 360. Mr. Spain stated that would be discussed with Staff in a meeting on Friday. Page Five - Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, December 7, 1982 Mr. Lynch stated that he appreciated Mr. Heath's comments; however, he does not feel that all the area in Noise Zone "B" can go commercial and industrial. Mr. Cotten made a motion to recommend approval of Zoning Case #380 subject to James Knight's letter dated December 2, 1982, and the acknowledgement of the letter from DFW Airport, and the existing requirements of zoning. Mr. McMillon seconded the motion and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Cotten, McMillon, Williamson, Tyson and Lynch Nays: None Acting Chairman Williamson declared the motion carried. (The Commission took a five minute recess and returned at 9:00 p.m.) III. PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING CASE #381 - REQUEST OF ROBERT W. CUMMINGS FOR DONALD H. DILMORE FOR CHANGE OF ZONING FROM R-1 TO C-2 ON TRACTS IA & lAl, A. M. DOWNING SURVEY, A-415, LOCATED NORTH OF S. H. 10, SOUTH OF MARY DRIVE, EAST OF DEBRA DRIVE AND WEST OF MARLENE DRIVE Acting Chairman Williamson opened the public hearing and explained that the proponents would be heard first and then the opponents. Mr. Donald H. Di!more explained that he was trustee and part owner of the subject property and the property south to S.H. 10 with the exception of the Dairy Queen and Klaus Service Center which is already zoned C-2. He is requesting that the 1.2267 acre triangle also be zoned to C-2 to allow the development of an office condominium project. He stated that 80% of the units will be one-story with 20% to be two-stories with victorian architecture. Each building will contain approximately four two-story units. All of the buildigns will face into a courtyard with detention ponds. A berm is planned around the edges of the project. Mr. Tom Chandler, Vice-President of Nelson Company, Inc., Salina Kansas, stated that Victoria Park will consist of approximately 56 units and will be sold in 720 square foot increments. The project is ready for construction once zoning and platting have been approved. Should the owners of the Dairy Queen and Klaus Service Center be willing to sell their property, he stated that the project has been designed so that those properties can be incorporated. However, they are not willing to pay an exorbitant price to secure those properties. Mr. Lynch asked how the parking and lighting would be handled. Mr. Chandler stated that parking will be on the outer boundaries of the project. They have not selected the type of lighting, however, there will probably be low lighting along the walkways and parking area. l Page Six - Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, December 7, 1982 C, Responding to a question, Mr. Rick Martin, Architect, stated that there will be five (5) two-story units in the area near the residences. There will be a heavily landscaped berm area next to the residences and then a driveway which will set the buildings back about 70 feet from the property line. Acting Chairman Williamson asked for any additional proponents. There being none, he asked for any opponents. Wayne Saunders, 807 Debra; Walter Bartzat, 801 Debra; Cecil Falls, 1709 Mary; Roger Sickler, 1601 Marlene, A. D. Brunson, 809 Debra, and Mr. & Mrs. Richard Cook, 803 Debra were in general agreement that the project as proposed was desirable; however, they wanted some assurance that some of the undesirable uses allowed in C-2 would not be constructed. The majority of them wanted access off of S. H. 10 instead of Debra Drive. One property owner preferred that their fences be replaced with the developer's required fence instead of having two fences back to back. To alleviate the concerns of the property owners, Mr. Lynch suggested the developer might request a down zoning to C-1. Mr. Chandler stated that they have restrictions in the owner's agreement preventing any undesirable type business. He pointed out that the project is designed for offices only. Acting Chairman Williamson closed the public hearing. Mr. Lynch stated that he supports the problem concept, but has with the C-2 zoning. He stated he could support C-1. Mr. Tyson agreed. Mr. Dilmore amended his request to C-1 instead of C-2. Mr. Lynch made a motion to recommend approval of the amended request of C-1 for Zoning Case #381. Mr. McMillon seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Lynch, McMillon, Tyson, Cotten, and Williamson Nays: None Acting Chairman Williamson declared the motion carried. IV.
