Eden, Sternfels, Pippin, Walker, Mrs. McCormick Nays: None Mayor Pro Tem McCormick declared the motion carried. ITEM 2: FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF ZONING CASE NO. 84 -16 Mayor Pro Tem McCormick announced that this item was further consideration of Zoning Case No. 84 -16, a request of Brooks Builders, Inc., for a change of zoning from "R -1" Single - family Detached Dwelling District to Planned Development for multi- family (condominiums) and commercial, located west of FM 157, north of West Euless Boulevard, east of Wilshire Drive, and south of Airport Freeway. Mr. Sternfels asked Mr. Brooks what his plans and ability were to deal with the north extension of Nita Lane, and what he proposes. Mr. Brooks stated that he had tried to ;meet with Rick Barnes' group, but has been unable to set a date to meet with there. Mr. Brooks' proposal to the group at this time is to make access to any lot to which he has control, but there is no definite location as to where the exit ramp will be moved. He is willing to work with anyone anyway he can in giving them access to the area, but that a decision should not be made until location of the exit ramp is decided. 1984 -198 Euless City Council Regular Meeting - September 11, 1984 - Page Three ITEM 2: FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF ZONING CASE NO. 84 -16 (Cont.) Mr. Brooks stated that whatever is required by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council, he will abide by; but, if he is going to have to do away with most of the units in the area, he would .like to change the cornrnercial type zoning so he will have a little bit of control of the neighborhood as far as to the commercial that is going to open up to the north. Mr. Brooks stated that the residents of the neighborhood had listed four conditions, and that he was in agreement, and had no objection to any of the four requests. Mi-. Sternfels asked, since there has been no discussion with owners of property to the north, what is Mr. Brooks' position on the north-south access, and was he willing to participate in the development of the north - south access on his property. ,-Ir. Brooks stated that he would cooperate with the property owners involving his proper ty. vtr. Knight stated that the subdivision ordinance requires that, if a street is developed to some extent, the street be either extended or con-mpleted in a fashion acceptable to the City, or stubbed out. Mr. McFarland clarified Mr. Knight's statement by stating the Council could approve the change of zoning, with the requirement that the street be stubbed out to the north of the southern boundary of the property that is commercial and vacant to the north; and that, under the City's subdivision ordinance, the property owners cannot develop property and extend a street on through to the Airport Freeway without the consent or approval of the Council. Mr. Pippin asked Mr. Brooks if he intended to come back to the Council requesting commercial zoning on the northern portion of the property, and if so, why not deal with it at the present. Mr. Brooks stated that he would like to have the opportunity to develop the area himself into commercial or office buildings in order to make a better flow into single- family housing, rather than the area backing right up to a four -lane access road corning right into it. iMr. Pippin stated that he realized Mr. Brooks has had difficulty in discussing the issue the northerly property owners, but there is an indication that they desire to develop in the not too distant future, according to previous discussion and meeting minutes. He suggested that perhaps the Council might want to consider spending more time on the matter. Mr. Brooks stated that he had been trying for three years to get area property owners to help, assist, and contribute to the area plan, but has been unsuccessful. There were over 200 owners .involved in this land when he started, and it took a considerable amount of effort and time to put what he has together. Mr. Brooks felt lire he had as good a plan as could be possibly obtained at this time. There are all kinds of problems in the individual lots, such as, tax problen-is, deaths, liens, etc:. 1984 -199 Euless City Council Regular Meeting - September 11, 1984 - Page Four ITEM 2: FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF ZONING CASE NO. 84-16 ((Cont.) Mr. Sternfels asked City Attorney McFarland what position this was putting the remaining property owners into when only a portion of a particular area is rezoned. 4r. McFarland said that as far as a legal liability, he saw none. In the standpoint of your legal authority, if the Council approved this plan, the City could initiate on its own merit a rezoning of any of the other lots into a planned development coning. The City has that authority, but it is not frequently used. Mr. Eder: stated that the trend is being set as far as Planned Development. He thought that any future housing that carne up has to be Planned Developed to go with that particular area. Mr. Brooks has worked very hard with the horneo%,vners trying to corn€ up with a plan that is acceptable to them, and has agreed to their terms. Mr. Brooks is putting in a single-family dwelling district on the west side, which is next to the existing development. Mr. Eden thought there should be a north exit, but doesn't see how the City can require Mr. Brooks to put an exit through someone else's property. He has agreed to stub out a street on property that he has control over, Nita Lane. Mr. Sternfels stated that if the Council cannot address rezoning a total Planned Development of the entire area, then Council certainly needs to address the westerly exits and entrances through Toplea and Kynette. The feeling of the homeowners is basically that it would eliminate traffic from the new area into their area, but basically it would allow access from an easterly direction. Mrs. McCormick read Traffic Safety Coordinator :Tay Heilrnan's letter of recom- mendation to the Council which emphasized the fact that it would riot be advisable to close Toplea; and that if the north - south street is cut through the seventeen -acre tract to the north, the center line of said street could be no closer than 300 feet from the knoll of the State Highway 183 exit ramp when relocated. Mr. Sustaire stated that until such time as the Highway Department relocates the exit ramp, you will not know which street needs to be closed. They would not allow a right exit or cross entrance into the service lane any closer than 300 feet to the exit ramp. The State Highway Department had indicated they would consider relocation, are working on it now, but it probably will be where Nita would fit as a through street. Mr. Sustaire remarked that allowing 500 feet would be best. Mr. Pippin asked Rick Barnes (in the audience) if he had any idea of the time frame for development of the piece of property to which he holds interest. Mr. Barnes said he did not. Mr. Eden moved to approve Zoning Case No. 84-16, in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and requiring a north -south access, and a stub -out of Nita Lane. Mr. Walker seconded the motion. Ayes: Messrs. Eden, Walker, Pippin, Mrs. McCormick Nays: Mr. Sternfels Mrs. McCormick declared the motion carried. 1984 -200 Euless City Council Regular Meeting - September 11, 1984 - Page Five (City Secretary's Notation: Mayor Samuels arrived at 8:35 p.m., and Mayor Pro Tem McCormick relinquished the gavel and meeting to Mayor Samuels.) ITEM 3: PUBLIC HEARING FOR ZONING CASE NO. 84 -17 Mayor Samuels opened the public hearing for Zoning Case No. 84 -17, a request of Harold D. Copher and Weldon George for a change of zoning on Tracts IC and IC.1, E. Taylor Survey, A -1550, 7.192 acres of land, from "R-1" Single-Family Detached Dwelling District, "C -1" Neighborhood Business District, CUD /R -2 (Single- family Attached) to "C -2" Community Business District, located east and adjacent to North Main Street and south and adjacent to Glade Road, and asked if there were any proponents to the zoning case. Mr. Walter Elliott, Elliott . & Hughes Engineers, representing Harold Copher and Weldon George in their request for change of zoning on a portion of land located on the east corner of Glade Road and North Main, stated that the total property applicants own consists of 11 acres of land. Their request tonight has been amended for a change of zoning from 7.192 acres of land to 4.959 acres, consisting of single- family residential lots formerly owned by the Hicks family, which is a two -acre tract of Land, and three plus acres of land that is presently zoned under CUD/R-2 (Single- family Attached). Mr. Elliott distributed pictures which reflect what applicants are proposing, The applicants have been in contact with an anchor tenant in an attempt to attract good development in the commercial nature, which would help create a good tax base. Mr. Elliott further stated that the applicants have agreed to five requests by the adjoining single - family detached homeowners in Cimmaron Subdivision, who had some concern about commercial. property .backing up to theirs. Applicants acquiesced and backed off some 160 feet from the south, and are presently only asking for 4.959 acres of land 160 feet north of Cimmaron Subdivision, allowing the zoning to remain the same. This will also allow one street projecting from North Main Street east into 20 acres of .land, with an eight -foot masonry or concrete wall. The revised field notes reflect this change, and the development will involve less than nine acres of land. The owners intend to .immedia.tely go into the planning stage in developing their final plans for this development. Mayor Samuels asked Mr. Elliott if this change excluded the 1.60 feet of CUD. Mr. Elliott stated that it does, but the new plan does not show the street and wall. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that there be no outlets through the wall, and applicants have no objections. Mr. Eden asked how many acres Mr. Elliott was requesting for rezoning. Mr. Elliott stated that in this zoning request there were approximately 4.959 acres, This acreage consists of the two -acre tract of land presently zoned R -I, .formerly the Marvin Hicks home, and the remaining two odd acres presently zoned CUD /R -2. Mr, Knight stated that, if approved, all property will go to C-2, except 160 feet to the south. 1984-201 Euless City Council Regular.

ITEM'? 4: PUBLIC .HEARING FOR ZONING CASE NO. 84 -18 Mayor Samuels opened th.e public hearing for Zoning Case No. 84 -18, a request of 'Washington/Wallace, Inc., Engineers and Planners, for a change of zoning on Tract 1 of the. .1. H. Havens Survey, A -685, 21.055 acres of land, from "R -1" Single - family Detached Dwelling District to ''C -2" Community Business District and Planned Development. for Cabinet Manufacture and Hospital Furniture and Equipment Renovation, located on the southeast corner of Glade Road and Cheek - Sparger Road, west of FM 157, and asked for any proponents to the zoning case. Mr. Bill Deacon, one of the owners of the property located at the southeastern intersection of Cheek- .Sparser Road and Glade Road, presented background on the property to be rezoned. The Deacon family has owned this property since before 1900. Through the early 1970'.s it was referred to at times as the "Turkey Farm," because the family was in the poultry business at that time. Several poultry houses were constructed during that time on concrete slabs and heavily insulated. in 1973 they sold their poultry and feed business. The buildings on the property were converted into rental property, many of which are housing businesses and rent houses. Mr. Deacon distributed photographs and reports which outlined the State Highway Department's design of the intersections and roadways in the area. The City Engineer of Grapevine told him that their plan was to let contracts for the paving of the main road at Highway 121, and the Fort Worth Star- Tel.egram reported recently that there is about 10 million dollars allocated to buy a right -of -way for the extension of Highway 360. What is planned is to have a moor interchange building here in this vacinity, about 550 feet off Highway 121. There will be an 80 -foot right -of -way coming across from Glade Road and across West Airfield Drive where the simulator facility is built, and there is signalization at the interchange. 1984 -202 Euless City Council Regular Meeting - September 11, 1984 - Page Seven ITEM 4: PUBLIC HEARING FOR ZONING CASE NO. 84 -18 (Cont.) Grapevine plans to build a five-lane road with an 80 -foot right -of -ways, so Cheek- Sparger is going to be a road that runs from Highway 26 down to subject tract. That will put an intersection with two SO-foot rights -of -way- as the future begins to unfold. There will be approximately 75 acres of commercial zoning at the intersection. Mr. Deacon stated that they believe the property as outlined has a very good future potential in a commercial use. They are now leasing property to a successful cabinet manufacturer and a hospital equipment manufacturer and would like to continue that use. Mr. Deacon requests that the Council give its approval on the C -2 zoning at this location, and also respectfully- requests that the Council grant them the approval of planned development on an interim basis: until they can make the entire tract C - -2, so that the current uses will be brought into compliance with the zoning regulations. Mayor Samuels asked if there were any other proponents for the zoning change. There being none, Mayor Samuels asked if there were any opponents to the zoning change. There being none, he asked if the Council had any questions before the hearing was closed. There being none, Mayor Samuels declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Walker made a :notion to approve Zoning Case No. 84-18, in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Sternfels seconded the motion. yes: Messrs.

City Engineer :fames Knight stated that applicants are also requesting abandonment of a portion of some streets, and if this item is approved by the Council, the approval should be subject to presentation of all documents before time of filing and recording the plat at Tarrant County Deed Records. City Attorney Bob McFarland stated that the approval of the plat does not vacate the easement and right - of-way of the street. Council wi.:•1 still need to schedule at a future meeting the ordinance vacating the right -of -way. Mr. Pippin stated that it appeared to him that the new street design is a vast improvement over tlx: previous one and that it would be a proper measure to vacate since it is on the property in question and there should be no requirement for renumera.tion. Mr. Pippin moved to approve Platting No. P- 84 -46, in accordance with the rec.ommenda.tions of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and subject to Councils approval of an ordinance vacating the street and instruction to the City not to record the plat until an ordinance vacating the street has been adopted.

Walter Elliott, Elliott & Hughes, 2275 Westpark Court, Euless, Texas, representing Blair & Associates (Billy Blair and Carl Smitri) in their request for preliminary plat approval of Bear Creek Estates - Phase 111, stated that this request is a continuation of Bear Creek Estates that was started several years ago. The property is presently zoned Multi-family R -.3 and R-4. The proposal is for a zero lot -line, but falls under the CUD conforming to the R -i of single - family zoning. The lots will be smaller, but they will be individual lots. There are measurement easements along some of the lots that allow a neighbor to come onto your lot and work and snake repairs on his home, if he has to make repairs. it is not intended to be used as anything other than maintenance and gives everyone privacy in their own homes. They are not duplex lots. Considerable amount of fill needs to be done on these lots, in order to bring then- out of the flood plane. 1 984 -2014 Euless City Council Regular Meeting - September I.I., 1984 -• Page Nine ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION OF PLATTING NO.

NO. 805 Mayor Sai-nuels opened for discussion consideration of first and .final reading of an ordinance regarding an application for the vacation of a portion of Fuller-Wiser Road, a public street in the City of Euless. City Attorney Bob McFarland stated the City had requested that they be furnished an abstract of title, as well as a consent to abandon the property, and these documents have not been received. Peter Stats, representing Triland Corporation, stated that they had received a consent from property owners. Mr. McFarland asked if the request for abandonment or vacation is "save and except," as to a particular utility easement, Mr. Stats stated that it was. Mr. McFarland asked Mr. Stats if he had a legal description of the right-of-way "save and except"? Mr. Knight stated that he had copies of the field notes and legal description of each individual parcel of land that was filed ea.rlier, when the applicants had asked that the City relinquish it in the way of a warranty deed. Mr. McFarland asked if each quitclaim presented for execution by the City, delineates that particular property owner's portion of the right-of-way to the center line. Mr. Knight stated that they do, with one exception. The. City is quitclaiming its share to one particular property owner. Mr. McFarland asked if the legal description takes that into account. Mr. Stats stated that it did. Mr. McFarland stated that he understands Triland Corporation has entered into an agreement with the abutting property owners to remove the existing paving, return the property to grade, and move the homeowners fences back to their new property right--of--way. Mr. Stats seated that was correct. Mr. McFarland asked Mr. Stats if he would .furnish the City a letter itemizing what Triland has agreed to do. Mr, Stats stated that he would. Mr. Knight stated that the City has an existing waterline (formerly the old Fuller- Wiser Road) in this area that is redundant, and the agreement probably includes the cutting off of that line so that it is not lying in the property owners' backyard. Mr. Knight's recommendation was that the City abandon the waterline. Mr. ',McFarland stated that the Storer easement would still continue.
