ITEM 1 CASE #99-04-LP — PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A LAND PLAN Receive public input regarding a Land Plan for general commercial proposed to be located at J.P. Halford Survery, Ab. 711, Tr. 7C and 7C6, approximately 300 feet north of Midway Drive on the east side of F.M. 157. Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development, explained the orientation of the site and stated that Land Plans serve to answer three questions: f 1 b can you access the site? (2) are there adequate utilities in place such as water, drainage; and sanitary sewer or can you provide for those to service this lot? (3) can you develop this lot in an orderly fashion? Mr. Bass stated this particular Land Plan meets all submission requirements. Mr. Bass stated there are three access points, which will minimize the number of curb cuts. Mr. Bass stated we are requiring the developer to limit the number of curb cuts through the Land Plan. He also stated when the land was originally sold a restriction was placed on the front 75 feet which stated no building or structure may occur there. Mr. Bass stated in the future there will be parking, a 24 feet emergency and mUtual access way. He stated the series of notes on the Land Plan refer to specific points that the developer is committing to. Mr. Bass stated Dote #6 references the provision of an eight 3 feet masonry wail along the entire east elevation to be developed as individual parcels come on line. Mr. Bass stated that this Land Plan could develop into two office complexes or it can also develop into a series of individual lots. Mr. Bass stated staff feels that the developer has taken a large step in committing to an eight 8 feet masonry wall along the back side, which staff supports. Mr. Bass stated the staff, also support, due to the financial concern involved, that this be installed as each individual parcel comes on line. Mr. Bass stated staff recommended approval and that he awaited any questions. Acting Chairman McMillon gave the rules for a public, hearing and asked the applicant or owner's representative to make a brief presentation. Mr. Marshall Ilan Dyke, 2902 Carlisle; Suite 200, Dallas, Texas, stated he works for Glenn E. Lyons and Associates, and that he represented W.R. Rose Investments, which is the owner of the property. Mr. Van Dkye stated they had met or exceeded City requirements and that he was available to answer any questions. Acting Chairman McMillion asked if there was anyone in the audience who may want to speak in favor of the case. Seeing none, he asked if there was anyone who would like to speak in opposition of the case or anyone who had a question in regard to the case. Mr. Scott Wooley, 607 Parker Drive, Euless, Texas, asked if the back fire lane will be concrete. Mr. Bass stated yes. Mr. Wooley asked if there will be a location to plant shrubs. Mr. Van Dyke stated there is a ten 10 feet area between the wall and the fire lane. Mr. Bass stated there will be a ten 10 feet landscape strip and irrigation per code. Lloyd Simmons, 509 Parker Drive, Euless, Texas, asked Mr. Bass if the 24 feet easement would be paved. Mr. Bass answered yes, in concrete. Mr. Simmons asked about the existing 24 feet easement that is behind RaceTrac and the other properties. Mr. Bass stated there will be no connection as a paved surface from Midway behind RaceTrac into this property. Mr. Simmons asked why it would be paved if there would be no access. Mr. Bass stated if the buildings are sprinkled we might be able to avoid the 24 feet paved surface. He stated if the buildings that are built are less than 10,000 square feet the City cannot require sprinkling so the City would require the ability get a fire truck around the building. Mr. Bass stated that is the reasoning behind the access road being paved. There being no other speakers, Acting Chairman McMillon closed the Public Hearing and opened the case for discussion among the Commissioners. ITEM 2 CASE #99m04RLP— CONSIDERATION OF A LAND PLAN Consider a request for a Land Plan for general commercial proposed to be located at J.P. Halford Survey, Ab. 711, Tr. 7C and 7C6, approximately 300 feet north of Midway Drive on the east side of F.M. 157. Commissioner McNeese stated the Land Plan was fine. Commissioner McNeese stated in regards to the eight feet masonry wall he hopes when Mr. Van Dyke gets to the point of developing that the fence would be finished on the east side as nicely as it will be finished on the west side. Commissioner McNeese stated the other issue is that the homeowners need to be thinking about where that fence is going to go. He stated they need to decide where the fence is going to be and how it is going to look, and as this process goes forward and the homeowners stay involved there would be time to address that more specifically. Commissioner McNeese stated he would like to see that as Mr. Van Dyke put his fence up that it goes in consistent with the existing property lines. Mr. `Jan Dyke stated when he puts the first development in he will work with the homeowners and landowners. Mr. Van Dyke stated he would be putting something up that looks Trice. Commissioner McNeese stated the other point he made and he wanted to make sure Mr. Van Dyke picked up on it as well as the homeowners is that when that fence goes in it should tie to the existing residential lot. Mr. Van Dyke stated the homeowners need to check with their mortgage companies and attorneys to find out the legalities if the fence is put on their property. Mr. Bass stated that he was not sure that Commissioner McNeese was specifically saying it should be on their property. Mr. Bass stated staff would like to see one of them come down because it creates weed problems, etc. Mr. `Jan Dyke stated his company has over a thousand feet of frontage on the property line and they do not want to be bad neighbors. Mr. Van Dyke stated when they develop this they want to work with the homeowners to make sure they are satisfied. Commissioner Grove stated personally if he was a homeowner he would like to see the fence go up when the first development happens. Commissioner Grove stated that the Commission cannot require that to be part of the Land Plan, Commissioner Grove stated as Commissioner McNeese stated that when the first development happens Mr. Vary Dyke should make sure he ties the end of the fence with the property line. Commissioner Hughes stated on the Land Plan he noticed the steep grading. Commissioner Hughes stated water flow is important in the way it is controlled, and when that masonry wall gets put up he would like to see that it does not create any kind of shute that would cause erosion to go from one property to ,another. Commissioner Hughes asked if the Commissioners could require the fence to be placed as development begins., prior to construction? Mr. Bass stated the Land Plan is not the tool for that but if a project came in with a SLIP [Specific Use Permit] the Commissioners could time it in that fashion. Commissioner Hughes made a motion to approve the Land Plan as presented. Commissioner Gene Sloan seconded the motion. Commissioner McNeese stated he agreed with the motion and asked if Commissioner Hughes was open to including the comments regarding the eight feet masonry fence, the fact that the Commission would like to see the fence finished on both sides and ending at the property line, that the elevation point should be consistent with the homeowners' property lines, and the discussion and resolution with the developer and homeowners regarding the placing of the fence. Commissioner Hughes stated the motion would be to accept the plan as presented with the following points: fence end on a lot line, be finished on both sides; be measured from an elevation with the joining property, and the cooperative establishment of the fence between the builder and homeowners. Mr. Bass stated should this Land Plan be approved it is not contingent upon these points but the Commission wants to make sure the developer and homeowners are aware of these things. Acting Chairman McMillion started the actual motion is to approve the Land Plan with these recommendations to the developer. Commissioner McNeese seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Commissioners McMillion, Sloan, Grove, Hughes, McNeese Nays: None The motion carried. ITEM 3 CASE #99-02-PP — CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT Consider a request for a Preliminary Plat changing John Groves Survey, Ab.599, TrAC2, 1D1, 1E1A, 1E, 1173 to St. Michael's Subdivision, Block A, Lots 1-9, and Block B, Lot 1, This property is located at the corner of Hospital Parkway and S.H. 10.

Mr. Bass stated there are three entry paints. Mr. Bass stated the Preliminary Plat is to tie down easements and rights-of-ways, provide for dedications, and provide for perpetual maintenance instruments for various utility functions. Mr. Bass stated the Preliminary Flat meets all the standard submittal requirements. Mr. Bass asked the City Engineer to address any key points. Ron Young, Assistant Director of Pudic Works and City Engineer, stated a Letter of Acceptable Public Improvement Plans has been issued and staff requests that the Preliminary Plat be approved as presented. Acting Chairman McMillan opened the floor for discussion among the Commissioners. Commissioner Hughes stated from discussion about the last case it was his preference that there be an eight feet fence with uniform materials and color consistently built along the full length. Acting Chairman McMillion stated that staff has a recommendation that they would life for the Commissioners to include as part of their notion. Mr. Bass stated this language could replace the existing note on both the Preliminary and Final Plats relative to screening fences. Acting Chairman McMillion read the staff recommended note for the record: Screening Fences A screening fence is required along all lots adjacent to residentially zoned property. Such fence shall be constructed of consistent materials, color, and texture, and shall be finished on both sides. (Block A, Lots 1-9 along north [rear] property lines and side property lines; also, arrest property line of Lot 1) (Block B, Lot 1 along north and east property lines) Mr. Bass stated it is not appropriate to specify the height at this paint.

Commissioner McNeese stated as he understands it the owners of the property are jointly and separately responsible for the maintenance of the project. Ron Young, Assistant Director of Public Works and City Engineer, .stated the perpetual maintenance agreement that is on the face of the Plat does require the owner's jointly and separately, which ties them to the maintenance.
