Eric Wilhite, Planning and Development Manager, gave a brief overview of this
case. Mr. Wilhite stated the applicant, Mr. Charles Morgan, is requesting
approval of a Site Plan for a 2.92 acre tract of land zoned 1-2 and is located
directly across from the Parks at Texas Star. Mr. Morgan currently operates a
business at 1344 W. Euless Blvd. and plans on developing this tract to move his
business, as well as having a portion of this leased to someone else. The
Development Review Committee has reviewed this Site Plan and it is in
compliance with City standards and development regulations and recommend
approval.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, stated that Mr. Morgan had
indicated earlier that he was on a construction site and was not sure if he would
be able to make it in time for the meeting.
Commissioner Hughes stated that he understood there were some items on the
plans that needed to be corrected and resubmitted. Mr. Wilhite stated staff is
working with the applicant to help expedite the process. A little work needs to be
done on the lighting plan and the landscape plan. Commissioner Hughes asked
if their recommendation to the City Council could be contingent on the applicant
resubmitting those plans before it goes to City Council. Mr. Wilhite stated staff
would appreciate this recommendation.
There was no discussion from the commission.

Eric Wilhite, Planning and Development Manager, gave a brief overview of the
case. This case is to receive public input regarding the request for a Specific
Use Permit on Sotogrande Addition, Lot 22R1 B, 3601 Pipeline Rd., for Church in
R-5 Multi-Family zoning on Sotogrande Addition, Lot 22R1 B, 3601 Pipeline Rd.
Life Impact Fellowship Church is requesting a renewal of a current Specific Use
Permit that was previously approved by City Council on May 9, 2000. The
previous approval tied the SUP to Pastor Tim Anderson and limited to terms of
the two year lease, Life Impact Fellowship had at the time. Staff is unaware of
any problems that have occurred with the parking or any other substantial
development compliance issues on this site. This site has worked really well for
the church and they are requesting to stay there to have their church continue in
that location with a specific use permit. Staff recommends approval.
Chairman McNeese asked if the applicant or representative was present and to
come forward for comments.
Karen Jackson, Church Administrator, 522 Marilee Cir., Irving. Ms. Jackson
stated the church has been in the community going on their third year. They are
multi-cultural, non-denominational church and have made a tremendous impact
in the community. They have had several fund raisers and several events, such
as Praise in the Park, and have a lot of positive response. The church likes the
area and community.
Chairman McNeese asked if there were any proponents/opponents to the case.
There being none the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Tarin asked if the City of Bedford was the landlord of the building.
Ms. Jackson stated they do lease from the City of Bedford. Commissioner Tarin
asked what year they were in on their lease and when the lease will end. Ms.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5
May 7, 2002
Jackson stated they were in their third year. The first lease ended after two
years and they had the option to lease for an extra year.
Commissioner Deithloff asked to verify the lease term. Ms. Jackson stated the
first lease was in 2000 for two years and they had an option for a third year and
they decided to stay and signed the lease for this year. Commissioner Deithloff
asked if the term of this lease will end in May 2003. Ms. Jackson stated that was
correct.
Chairman McNeese asked Ms. Jackson if they knew what their plans for the
church were beyond the next year. Ms. Jackson stated they are looking for a
building because they are growing. Chairman McNeese asked what was the
current membership and what was the membership when they started. Ms.
Jackson stated the membership is currently 300 and when they started it was 25.
Vice Chairman Grove made the motioned to approve case #02-02-SUP with the
following conditions: 1) SUP coterminous with the lease that expires May 2003;

motion. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Vice Chairman Grove, Commissioners Tarin,
Huffman, Hughes, May and Deithloff
Nays: None
Abstention: None

ITEM 4 CASE #02-01-ZC — PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A ZONING
CASE AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN
ORDINANCE
Receive public input regarding a request for a Zoning Case of
Westpark II Addition, Block B, Lots 1, 2, 3,4 from C-2 (Community
Business District) zoning to R-1 L (Single Family Limited Dwelling
District) zoning and consider a recommendation regarding an
Ordinance. This property is located on Westpark Ct. at Dana Kay
Drive.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief overview of this
case. This request is to receive public input regarding a request for a Zoning
Case of Westpark I I Addition, Block B, Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 from PD #774 (Light
Industrial with office and warehouse) zoning to R-1 L (Single Family Limited
Dwelling District) zoning. This property is located east of Westpark Way, north of
Kynette, and south of Westpark Ct. The land uses surrounding the proposed
zone change development would include C-2 immediately to the north with
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 6
May 7, 2002
existing development that fronts the eastbound frontage road of Airport Freeway.
This includes Showplace Lanes Bowling Alley and a heavy equipment
dealership, Case, to the north. There are apartments immediately to the east,
garden office to the west and an existing residential subdivision to the south that
was constructed in the early 1970's, which is in close proximity to Wilshire Park
and an elementary school. The proposed zone change to R-1 L (Single Family
Limited Dwelling District) standards would create approximately a 74 lot
subdivision based on R-1 L development standards which have a minimum lot
size of 5,500 square feet.
Chairman McNeese asked for the applicant or a representative to come forward
for comments.
Tommy Kline, Kline & Co., 12311 Marbrook, Dallas, stated he is the applicant of
this zoning request and hopes that his reasons that he presents will yield a
favorable recommendation to ask City Council for approval of the zoning request.
The subject tract was platted in 1986 and has been on the market as commercial
at a reasonable commercial price since 1986 by a couple of different entities
which are the same owners. The zoning request conforms with R-1 L and meets
all the standards with no variances. This proposal would create 74 lots ranging
from 5,500-10,033 square feet. The average lot is 6,167 square feet. The
development would be screened with an 8 foot masonry fence on the north and a
6 foot masonry fence along the south perimeter. They would commit to a 2-3
foot retaining wall with metal posts and wood fence on top of the retaining wall
that would screen the apartments on the east. A wood fence is proposed on the
west side by the office. Drainage will be addressed during the platting stage with
the proposal of a retention pond. This development would create no extra
burden on the City's capacity for water and sewer. Some of the utilities would be
relocated. Mr. Kline has talked with builders that are interested in this site.
Those builders are Ryland Homes, Buescher Homes and Grand Homes. Mr.
Kline read the following comments from Bill Ridgway's DRC review:
1. This Commercial area is best suited for medical office or commercial office
space.
2. The south is bounded by residential and the east is also residential.
3. There is adequate growth for commercial growth north of Westpark Court
and west of Dana. Commercial growth is also available north and south of
Westpark Court west of Evans Drive.
4. Westpark Court and Dana provide a divide for residential growth, which ties
into the development to the south and east.
5. Demand for development has been extremely non-existent in recent years
for this area.
6. Discussion for development to the north of Westpark and west of Dana has
been discussed with the owners of that property in 2001 but no new
development has come forward since 9-11. This proposed development
did not go south of Westpark Court.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 7
May 7, 2002
7. The long-term growth could go commercial but the development time would
be over an extended period of time.
8. The proposed use could be in the best interest of Euless and I recommend
acceptance of the site plan and zoning change subject to comments of the
DRC.
Chairman McNeese asked if there were any proponents and to come forward for
comments.
Bill Reese, 5430 LBJ, Dallas, stated he was representing First Community
Realty, First Community Bank Shares and the Gerald B. Katz interest which is
the owner of this property. They have been the owner of this property since the
bank took it over in 1986. The client asked for him to read into the record the
following letter which was addressed to the Planning and Zoning Commission
dated April 30, 2002.
To Whom It May Concern:
First Community Realty, Inc. (FCR) has owned the property listed on the
attached notice (Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Block B on Westpark II Addition) since
1996. Prior to 1996, an affiliated company held the property for approximately
ten years. The property has been on the market for this entire time and the level
of interest has been dismal. FCR also owns Lots 1 and 2 on Block A on
Westpark II Addition, which is directly across from the property for which a zoning
change is requested. The requested zoning would allow the property to be
developed into single family housing, which FCR believes could attract other
possible end land users into the area. Signed Evan H. Katz, Vice President.
Mr. Reese stated their lack of success in marketing this property. They have few
offers on the property. The most recent was for a church that chose not to afford
this site. With the exception of the sale to Case Equipment there have been no
other transactions on this property which leaves a 22.5 acres of remaining land.
There are no foreseeable sales coming to the City of Euless for this property that
would raise the tax base and strongly encourage on the behalf of his client to
approve this recommendation for the zoning change.
Patrick Hinde, 1806 Kynette Dr., Euless, stated that he is for the proposal but he
feels there is not adequate drainage for this area to handle another development.
Housing is preferred, but the drainage that exists for this area needs to be
addressed before any development. Mr. Hinde wanted to know if there would be
any fencing on the side of Kynette and if there would be any access opened onto
Kynette. He explained there is enough traffic now and does not want to see
more. He also wanted the fencing proposed on the south side addressed
because of flooding that occurs now.
Chairman McNeese asked if there were any opponents and to come forward for
comments.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 8
May 7, 2002
Evan Cottrell, 713 Live Oak, Euless, stated he was concerned with the water. He
has had continuous flooding problems since development started in the area in
1985. His property has flooded five times in the last 13 years. The creek is not
able to handle the rains that bring large amounts of water in short periods of time.
He stated that any development to the north would increase the flooding
problems.
Melanie Koraska, 711 Live Oak Dr., Euless, stated she has been a resident in
Euless for the past 12 years and a resident on Live Oak Dr. for the past 6 years.
The stress of the rains when there are flash floods comes down in such a rage
that it does block up at the Marlene Bridge. The property that is being discussed
currently absorbs a lot of the water, and if it is developed, there will be no place
for the water to go, except into the sewage and down hill. Ms. Koraska stated
they are considering selling their property because of the flooding. She stated
that the problems with the flooding need to be fixed before any development
occurs.
Earl Hawkins, 1808 Kynette, Euless, stated he has lived there since 1973. His
concern is this development will become another "Fossil Creek Development".
This was an area where housing could not be sold because of the flooding. He
would like to see the development but put some kind of control over the water so
we do not end up with another"Fossil Creek" problem.
William Meadows, 503 Evans Dr., Euless, stated that Evans Dr. is having the
same problems with flooding as Live Oak. He wanted to make the point that
young professionals are not stuck in their houses and will move on with the
continuing problems of flooding.
Brad Jones, 411 Westcliff, Euless, stated he wanted to express his concerns
about the access to this development through the cut in on the north side of
Kynette. Kynette is already too crowded to even consider allowing access or
egress from anything that is developed there, whether commercial or residential.
He also stated that he would like to see corrective actions made to the water flow
problems before any development begins.
Stan Browning, 1906 Kynette, Euless, stated his concerns of any access that
would be coming from the development onto Kynette. Also, back in 1986, there
was an 8 foot simulated wood/concrete fence put 10 foot back to the north off of
the property line with the indication the owners were giving up the rights to the 10
feet of land. He wanted to make sure this was still the case or would they be
coming in and taking this fence down and pushing it back to the south 10 feet to
start the development.
Chairman McNeese asked the applicant to come back and address some of the
concerns that were asked by the citizens.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 9
May 7, 2002
Tommy Kline, Kline & Co., stated they will do everything possible to mitegate the
drainage that this development would produce. If the Engineers see that it is
necessary to put in a retention pond on the SE corner they will do so. In answer
to the question about the fence that is 10 foot north of the residents, there is no
evidence in the title work that any property was ever relinquished and the
developer is looking at moving the fence where they can. They are wanting to
save as many trees as possible.
Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing.
Commissioner May stated the property will be developed, whether it be
residential or commercial. The drainage is a problem and they will consider how
it will affect the development.
Commissioner Deithloff asked if the sale of the property was contingent upon the
zoning. Commissioner Deithloff stated they all have concerns about the drainage
but the issue is changing the zoning from C-2 to R-1 L. His decision is whether
this will be the best and highest use for this property and his answer to that is
yes.
Vice Chairman Grove asked if Mesa Dr. would be extended. Mr. Kline stated
that it would not because the intention was for the community to be contained.
Vice Chairman Grove stated he was still not pleased with the density of the tract
and asked if the developer would consider giving up approximately half a dozen
or fewer lots to the entire tract. Mr. Kline stated that hurt the economic viability of
the tract. Vice Chairman Grove stated that once a complete topographic study
has been completed and figure what will have to happen could you conceivable
give up 2-3 lots for detention. Mr. Kline stated that would be possible and
possibly more if necessary. Commissioner Grove asked why he thought this
property had not sold previously. Mr. Kline stated that once development
occurred in along the front of Airport Frwy. it blocked off the front door for a sale.
Commissioner Hughes asked what would be the construction of a fence along
the south side of the tract. Mr. Kline stated there was an existing 8 foot concrete
fence now. They would need to move the fence back because they would be
losing 10 feet of property and would replace this fence with a solid fence that has
not been determined whether it would be masonry. Commissioner Hughes
stated he can understand the rationale for coming forward with this proposal with
the analysis that was conducted, but there was good analysis brought forward
concerning the floods. Taking all of this into consideration he stated the
commission must look at the case before them which is a zoning case.
Commissioner Hughes stated that he felt the current zoning was the best use at
this time.
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 10
May 7, 2002
Commissioner Tarin thanked all the citizens for coming and expressing their
views and concerns. He explained to the citizens they are only a recommending
body and the City Council is the voting body.
Evan Cottrell stated there was no question if any new development would
increase the flooding. Mr. Cottrell asked if the City would accept the
responsibility to make the necessary improvements to Marlene bridge and the
creek to prevent additional flooding or require the developer to do this before
approving or recommending approval.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, stated to the citizens that
the Planning and Zoning Commission is only charged by City Charter to make a
recommendation to the City Council regarding the appropriateness of this land
use. There is no individual member that would begin to get into a discussion with
any individual property owner on whether or not you are experiencing drainage
problems. The issue is strictly a land use issue. If this commission were to vote
in favor of that land use recommendation it is not a vote saying they do not care
about your drainage or to say you do not have a drainage problem, it is just not
their charge. Looking at the broader picture of what contributes to drainage
issues that you are facing is one in which a thorough analysis would look at
developments that are completely off this site for which a developer can not be
held responsible for. If there are issues that are affecting the drainage in the City
of Euless that the City of Bedford development is causing, any individual
developer coming into the City of Euless can not be held accountable. What we
can do through the Engineering process is hold them accountable for that water
that falls from the sky directly onto their development. This is the issue you are
challenging is whether any drainage study would have credibility that indicated
the proposed development would not contribute to any further problems. The
short answer is that we cannot require the developer to make extensive off-site
drainage improvements because it would be conditional zoning. Anything that
would hold this developer or land owner accountable for off site issues would
make them responsible for things they had no impact on creating.
Commissioner Hughes stated to the citizens that he was also a citizen and was
there to represent their interests as well as the City's. He stated that he has
been persuaded by what has been said than any change that is not properly
done is going to aggravate the problem. The data presented does influence how
they think, but this is a zoning case and this is how the commission will have to
vote and not say they are ignoring the problems.
Chairman McNeese thanked everyone for their comments. He stated that this
Commission does have to vote on the issued brought before them which was a
zoning case.
Commissioner Deithloff made a motion to approve zoning case #02-01-ZC.
Commissioner May seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:

ITEM 5 CASE #02-02-ZC — PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A ZONING
CASE AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN
ORDINANCE
Receive public input regarding a request for a Zoning Case of Bell
Ranch Terrace, Block 12, Lots 8-14; Block 13, Lots 1-14, 24R1,
24R2 and 24R3; Block 14, Lots 1-11; Block 15, Lots 8-9 from C-
2/PD-819/CUD-854 (Community Business District/Single Family
Attached and Multi-Family/Multi-Family Medium Density) zoning to
R-1 L (Single Family Limited Dwelling District) zoning and consider
a recommendation regarding an Ordinance. This property is located
on 1200 Signet Street.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief overview of this
case. The purpose of the public hearing is to receive public input regarding a
request for a zoning case of Bell Ranch Terrace, Block 12, Lots 8-14; Block 13,
Lots 1-14, 24R1, 24R2 and 24R3; Block 14, Lots 1-11; Block 15, Lots 8-9 from C-
2/PD 819/CUD 854 zoning to R-1 L (Single Family Limited Dwelling District)
zoning and to consider recommendation to City Council. This property is located
west of S.H. 157 and south of Signet Dr. The applicant is proposing to develop a
R-1 L subdivision that would contain approximately 166 lots. The developer is
proposing to develop this in two phases. The zone change before you would
create approximately 64 lots south of Signet. The land uses include the Euless
Town Center commercial/retail development to the north. S.H. 157 to the east
with various retail development fronting on S.H. 157. Existing residential
development to the west in the Bell Ranch Terrace subdivisions Phase I and II.
The new City of Euless Police and Courts facility is located in this vacinity with a
office building complex on the corner of S.H. 157 and Hwy. 10.
Chairman McNeese asked if the applicant was present and to come forward for
comments.
Ottis Lee, CivilWorks Engineering, 1192 Boling Ranch Rd., Azle, stated he is
representing BNR Properties as the owner of the property and Centurion
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 12
May 7, 2002
American Development Group who is the developer of the property. This is a
rezoning of 13.65 acres at 1200 Signet from C-2/PD 819/CUD 854 which
consists of commercial, single family attached, multi-family and multi-family
medium density to the R-1 L which is single family limited dwelling. They have
been working with staff on this site to comply with all city requirements. This
property consists at this time of almost 60 multi-family lots south of Signet, plus
the community business, plus some of the single family detached and therefore
we are looking at approximately 66 to 68 lots south of Signet with the typical size
being 55 x 110 lot size which is slightly over 6,000 square feet which a little bit
larger than R-1 L. Based on the area they are looking at S.H. 157 fronts this
property with commercial, the additional commercial within this PD and CUD as
stated in the previous does not front a major thoroughfare and therefore is
difficult to potentially develop as long term commercial. In addition, the R-1 L is a
transitional use between some of the lots to the west of the subdivision and the
commercial being a limited single family detached size lot. They are not
requesting any exceptions to the development or the engineering standards.
Chairman McNeese asked if there were any proponents/opponents. Seeing
none the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Tarin asked what will be the price range for the homes. Mr. Lee
stated they would be between $135,000 to $160,000 with an average of
$140,000-$150,000 for the houses in that area.
Commissioner Hughes asked if lots 11 and 25 and the others to the east were
part of this development. Mr. Lee stated they were owned by Brooks Builders
and they are part of the PD that are approved for commercial buildings.
Commissioner Hughes as if these lots were platted as narrow lots. Mr. Lee
stated they were platted as the narrow lots. Commissioner Hughes asked if they
were trying to acquire the northern part of the development. Mr. Lee stated there
has been some acquisition of lots and the owner in conjunction with the
developer are in the process of acquiring the north part in order to create a single
phase of this development. Commissioner Hughes asked what percent of the
lots does the owner and developers have some commitment. Mr. Lee stated
they have about 70% either by contractor or actual ownership. Commissioner
Hughes asked if this would be developed in a continuos residential development.
Mr. Lee stated that it would but with the multiple property ownership's they were
unable to bring a zoning case for this portion at this time.
Vice Chairman Grove asked if Lots 11 and 25 had been acquired. Mr. Lee stated
they were part of the original purchase.
Vice Chairman Grove made a motion to approve zoning case #02-02-ZC.
Commissioner Hughes seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
