ITEM! 2 PUBLIC HEARING ZONING CHANGE #98-17-ZC T- EULESS COMMERCE CENTER Public input regarding the request of Steve MaGee for a zoning change of Edward Taylor Survey, Abstract 1554, portions of tracts 1B, 1131, 1C and 1C2 from C-2 (Community Business District), C-1 (Neighborhood Business MINUTES CF APRIL 21,1998 District.) and CUD Community Unit Development) into C- (Community Business District) and PD (Planned Development) for office uses. Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development described the tracts and the uses. He stated that the applicant's intent was to develop an office complex on the PD portion and retail uses on the C-2 portion. The Development Review Committee recommended approval. Steve MaGee, president of Magee-Leonard Corporation located at 4611 Pine Valley Drive, Frisco, Texas, explained they were proposing a two part development. The first part would be a professional office component on the western boundary of the site. It would have a cul de sac street, and would include six office parcels, The second component would be a commercial portion for which they have drawn a conceptual plan and was requesting a straight C-2 zoning. He stated that they realize this site is surrounded by some residential homes and have included in their conceptual plans a fence and extra landscaping in the buffer yards. Mr. MaGee indicated that an association would maintain the common property, that his corporation would subdivide the lets into smaller office parcels, and that as developers they would remain and have an interest in the property. Wanda Gerard, 2911 Clairmont Lane, Euless, stated that neighborhood residents met with Mr. MaGee recently. She indicated they have no problem with the proposed plans, as long as the buffer concept is followed. She stated that the only problem is the fact that Kessler Drive and Nutmeg Lane might be joined which would be very detrimental to those living in that area. She stated that the traffic would be a mess, and children would be endangered. Barbara Bingham, 318 Kessler Drive, Euless, reiterated Mrs. Gerard's comments about being in favor of the proposed zoning change, but concerned for all the children and the increase in traffic. Barbara Moine, 3015 Clairmont Lane, Euless, also expressed her concern about the increase in traffic and how fast people would drive through if the two streets in question were joined. She also stated the safety of all the children would be threatened. Laura Jackson, 3007 Clairmont Lane, Euless, stated that the development is fine in all aspects but she was not in favor of the street connection. Cheryl Lawson, 2903 Clairmont Lane. Euless, stated that she was against the road connection and had selected the neighborhood because of its secludedness, and she would not want additional traffic. Dan Broadhead, 3003 Clairmont Lane, Euless, reiterated what had been said. He expressed his concern for the decrease of value of all the homes if they were not secluded anymore. He stated that he would prefer to see Glade Road improved. PL4NNING A\407 NING COMMISSION PAGE 4 MINUTES of?PF l-21;19 PA Mark Weyman, 403 Lexington, Euless, stated that he was one of the first homeowners in the neighborhood in 1988, and indicated that part of its appeal was the fact it is one way in and one way out. He was concerned traffic would cut through if the roads were connected, he believed Glade Road should be widened. Ruth beard, 3005 Clairmont Lane, Euless, stated that she moved into this house because the neighborhood had one way in and one way out. She asked the audience who would put their house on the market if the street connection was made, and almost everyone in the audience raised their hands. Jack Gerard, 2911 Clairmont Lane, Euless, submitted a petition with 48 names stating they were against the Kessler Drive /Nutmeg Lane connection. Dan Sindelor, 201 Nutmeg, Euless, stated that he was against commercial businesses behind his horse. He stated that he would not like the added noise and smells. Mr. MaGee responded to Mr. Sindelor that there would be no public access, instead there would be a closed gate with a lock mechanism to be used only by emergency personnel as a secondary access. As far as the issue of the commercial building behind him, Mr, McGee indicated that this plan was entirely conceptual. Regarding the road access issue he stated that it would be better if staff addressed that. Chairman young closed the public hearing ITEM 3 RECOMMENDATION OF — ZONING CHANGE #98-17-ZC — EULESS COMMERCE CENTER Consider recommendation of a zoning change of Edward Taylor Survey, Abstract 1550, portions of tracts 18, 1B1, 1C and 1C2 from C-2 (Community Business District), C-1 (Neighborhood Business District) and CUD (Community Unit Development) into C--2 (Community Business District)for retail use and PD (Planned Development District) for office uses. Commissioner Owens asked Paul Kruckemeyer City Engineer, to address the Glade Road issue and asked Mr. Bass to explain about the connection of Kessler Drive and Nutmeg Lane not being part of this zoning change. Mr, Kruckemeyer stated that there were no plans for improving Glade Road right now, The main problem with Glade Road was the center lane being the city limit of two cities. He stated that probably next year Euless staff would work something out with Grapevine, The Euless City Council in the next sixty days would be considering a bond issue in late Summer or early Fall, and Glade Road was one project that would be discussed for inclusion in the bond package. Mr. Kruckemeyer stated that if Grapevine was willing, he would like to submit Glade Road for federal ISTEA funding because it could receive high points, and then the road project would be 80% federal dollars, and roughly 20% would be split between the two cities. Mr, Krukemeyer then stated he believed the two cities were about ready to do something. He stated the road for the commercial part of this PLANNING AND ZONING GV'ti'W:SSION PAGE 5 MINUTES OF APRIL 21,199A proposed tract would have to be at least a minimum of five lanes. He also stated he would not consider, recommend, or support any recommendation to do anything to Nutmeg Lane or Kessler Chive until something is done with Glade Road. The City has no plans whatsoever to pave the street connection at this time. The City does not anticipate requiring this developer to pave that street connection. The City will be acquiring a right- of-way that was lacking in that area. Mr. Bass indicated that the traffic impact issues would be discussed at Platting and Site Plan Stages. He stated that staff is not in favor of Nutmeg Lane and Kessler Drive connecting at this time. He also stated that there may come a time when the neighbors will be asking the City to connect Nutmeg Lane and Kessler Drive when Glade Road was widened, but as it is now, those two streets will not be connected. Mr. Bass stated the staff recommended approval. Commissioner Owens stated that on the plat the developer had eliminated some uses that would be allowed by right. He stated that he believed the gate situation would resolve some of the problems, and iron fencing would prevent a tunnel effect. He stated he supported the zoning change. He reiterated that the Nutmeg Lane situation and the right- of-way situation were not part of this Planned Development tonight, and that the road was not being approved tonight. Commissioner Shuler stated that she thought it was a good project. Commissioner McMillan stated the streets would not be considered until Glade Road was widened. Commissioner Bright stated she appreciated all the work Mr. MaGee had done to prepare the people and that it looked like a very good project. Commissioner Eggers thanked Mr. MaGee for meeting with citizens to ease a lot of their concerns. He stated that it was a beautiful project that the City of Euless would welcome. He asked staff if residents would be notified when the Site flans come in. Bo Bass said there would not be notification for a Site Plan, but that there would be a publication in the newspaper. He suggested if they saw orange flags going up, to call hires at 685-1684 and he would tell them what was going on. Chairman Young asked Mr. McGee to please clarify whether the area being considered for C-2 could completely change, since the shopping center was just an option. Mr. McGee answered that was correct. Chairman Young then said that the developer had no intended uses for the C-2 portion at this point. Mr. MaGee answered that they did not intend to develop it immediately. PLA"IA ING AND ZONING COMMISS ON PAGE 6 MINUTES OF APR;L 21,19% Chairman Young stated the developer intended to develop the Planned Development part with the offices immediately. He then asked Mr. MaGee to eliminate some automotive uses just as he had eliminated some other permitted uses under C-1 zoning. Mr. MaGee stated they had eliminated some uses and that they would be happy to work with staff, since their intention was to build a professional office facility. He stated that they would like to keep some flexibility, but they had no intention of building automotive related uses in this development. Chairman Young requested as a condition of approval for this application, that the applicant meet with staff to consider eliminating additional uses. Mr. MaGee said that would be fine. Commissioner Owens moved to approve zoning case #98-17-ZC, with the condition that the developer and staff review the list of uses that were voluntarily eliminated from the Planned Development portion to see if the list should be expanded. Specifically; to see if automotive uses should be eliminated from the Planned Development. He stated that the motion did not include the right-of-way for the Nutmeg Lane and Kessler Drive connection. Chairman Young asked if there was a second to Commissioner Owen's motion, He then said that before voting on this, he wanted to tell people in the audience that City Council has the authority to make the final decision, enacting the ordinance to accomplish this rezoning, which would occur three weeks from tonight. Commissioner Eggers seconded motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Commissioners McMillan, Eggers, Young, Bright, Shuler, Owens Nays: None Absent: Commissioner Zahn The motion carried unanimously. Chairman Young reminded everyone about Arbor Daze. ADJOURNMENT: There beingnefurther business, the meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m. i` ,r j' Chairman Ronald F,. ung f' Dat
