This property is located at 113 E. Ash Lane. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 2 June 20, 2006 Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing. Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief description of the case. The applicant, Margaret Ly, is requesting approval of a replat of Block 1, Lot 4 to create two lots to be known as Lot 4R1 and 4R2. A duplex is owned by Ms. Ly and located on Lot 4. She is selling one half of the duplex. Sec.84-412 establishes specific requirements for replatting a residential lot, including a public hearing notification and property owner notification within 200 feet of the subject property. Additionally, if 20% of these owners within 200 feet were to protest the request for replat, a three-fourths vote would be required. No such threshold was reached. Chairman McNeese asked if the applicant or applicant representative was available for comments and questions. Margaret Ly, 115 E. Ash Lane, Euless, stated she wants to sell half of her property and was available for any questions. Chairman McNeese asked for any opponents/proponents to come forward for comments. Thomas Holland, 113 E. Ash Lane, Euless stated he was concerned with the avigation easement. Mike Collins stated that the avigation easement is required by the city but provides discretion on whether or not the easement would have to be included on the plat. Thomas Holland stated he was concerned that the avigation easement would allow dumping of fuel and waste from aircrafts. Mike Collins stated that the avigation easement and release is between the City of Euless and that property owner. There could be a potential for a new runway to be constructed that could affect the property owner. Therefore, east of Main Street is established as a noise zone B, which means that thru new construction you have to accomplish a .25 reduction in the decibel because of the noise of the aircrafts. The release is that the City of Euless is not responsible for action created by DFW Airport. Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing Commissioner Zahn stated that he felt the avigation easement would protect himself as a citizen and is in favor of the replat and leaving the language as stated. Commissioner Huffman asked if Mr. Holland was satisfied with the language presented to him. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 June 20, 2006 Thomas Holland stated he feels the language needs to be corrected as in the liability and responsibility of such action should be upon DFW Airport in any and all activities they participate in involving air flight over Euless. Mike Collins stated, per the City of Euless attorney, if the applicant chooses not to include the avigation easement language on the plat it would still meet all technical requirements. Commissioner Bynum asked Ms. Ly what prompted her to do this replat. Ms. Ly stated the reason was because of her lack of time to take care of the property and financial situation. Commissioner Zahn made a motion to approve case #06-02-RP with the avigation easement language included on the plat. Commissioner Bynum seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Commissioners Zahn, Huffman, Portugal, Bynum Nays: None Abstention: None The motion carried (5-0-0) ITEM 3 REPORTS There were no reports. ITEM 4 DIRECTOR'S REPORT There were no reports. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 6:52 p.m. / / r 7 7,9.64 C .irman . cNeese Date
