(Page Two, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, November 21 , 1978) CONSIDER REPLATTING - LOTS 13-R-A, 14-R, AND 16-R, BLOCK 2, AIRPORT BUSINESS PARK, BEING A REVISION OF LOTS 13-R THRU 17, BLOCK 2, AIRPORT BUSINESS PARK. PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF WEST EULESS BLVD. AND EAST OF SOUTH AIRPORT DRIVE Mr. Adams arrived at this time. Chairman Tyson asked if there was a representative present for the Airport Business Park replatting request. There was not. Mr. Jones requested the city staff to furnish the Commission a plat showing the present platting as opposed to the requested platting on future replat requests. Mr. Adams stated this would be good to show the existing property lines as well as easements in relation to the requested change. Chairman Tyson stated he sees no problem with this plat. However, he does not fully understand where the easements were before. Mr. Adams stated he feels if there were new easements or other substantial differences, the city staff would have so specified in the letter. Mr. Flynn stated there will be a fifty-foot easement abandoned, which is the Lone Star Gas Company easement. Chairman Tyson asked if it is being abandoned now. Mr. Flynn stated the abandonment process has already been initiated on this easement. Another plat will be submitted later showing that it has been removed. Chairman Tyson asked if this new plat will be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission. (Page Three, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, November 21 , 1978) Mr. Flynn stated he believes this could be taken care of without coming back to the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion. Mr. Adams stated the easement can be abandoned by written instrument and not require the additional plat. Mr. Flynn stated the subject easement was once used as a telegraph line easement which is no longer necessary. The actual gas easement is north of the subject easement, and this is the reason for the abandonment. He stated the replat is to accomodate the building plans. Chairman Tyson stated there will be a building in the abandoned easement. Mr. Flynn stated this is correct. Chairman Tyson stated he could not determine from the plat if there are any new or relocated easements on the replat. Mr. Flynn stated all of the easements are the same on the replat except for the fifty-foot easement which is being abandoned. Chairman Tyson asked what kind of request has been received from Lone Star Gas Company concerning the abandon- ment of the easement. Mr. Flynn stated he is not sure what the actual requirements are. However, anytime the City negotiates with Lone Star Gas Company involving an easement, there is a legal letter sent from Lone Star Gas Company, and the city has already received that letter. Chairman Tyson stated he does not feel the Commission should act upon the easement abandonment. Mr. Adams stated he would not want to require another plat to be submitted because of the easement. He would prefer approval to be granted and if the abandonment has met all of the legal require- ments of the city, then a revised plat be submitted without having to come back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Eden made a motion to recommend replat approval of Lots 13-R-A, 14-R and 16-R, Block 2, Airport Business Park, being a revision of Lots 13-R thru 17, Block 2, Airport Business Park, as requested. (Page Four, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, November 21 , 1978) Mrs. Lightbody seconded the motion and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Mr. Eden, Mrs. Lightbody, Messrs. Deithloff, Adams, Tyson, Jones, and Munir Nays: None Chairman Tyson declared the motion carried. Chairman Tyson requested Mr. Lynch' s letter be made a part of the minutes. II .

Mr. Flynn stated there were not. Mr. Adams stated it is his understanding that the reason for the replat request is to facilitate putting in a circle drive. Chairman Tyson requested Mr. Lynch' s letter be made a part of the minutes. Mr. Jones made a motion to recommend replat approval of Lots 10-R and 11-R, Block 1 , Trailwood Addition, as re- quested.

PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF WESTPARK WAY AND NORTH OF TIBBETS DRIVE. Mr. Hughes stated he is a consulting engineer with the firm of Elliott and Hughes located at 1004 West Euless Blvd. He stated they are representing Mr. Harry B. Hunsicker in his role as the trustee and owner of the property that is currently known as Tract 3AR-1 of the Westpark Central Addition. Mr. Hunsicker desires to subdivide the portion of the property into three separate tracts, which will have a total of 232,000 square feet. Preliminary plat approval was requested on Tracts 3AR-1 and Tract 9 about a year ago. At that time, Tract 9 was also final platted as well as Westpark Court. Westpark Court is now being constructed; all of the street is in with a few minor exceptions. The property is basically complete, development-wise, with a few exceptions which will be taken care of provided final platting requested at this time is approved. This includes a water line extension between Tracts 6 and 7 and a short section of sanitary sewer line and storm sewer line on the East. Mr. Hunsicker has owned the Westpark Central property for about ten years. He has a contract on the property known as Tract 7. An individual proposes to build a 12,000 square .IMI foot facility that will serve as a professional office space and some kind of medical facility. Chairman Tyson asked if there have been any changes made from the preliminary to final plat. Mr. Hughes stated the only change is that on the preliminary plat, Tract 6 was divided into two tracts whereas it is now one. Mr. Deithloff asked if there is a purchaser for Tract 6. Mr. Hughes stated they do not have a purchaser for Tract 6 or Tract 8 at this time. Mr. Jones asked the zoning of the property. Mr. Adams stated it is zoned "C-2". Chairman Tyson requested Mr. Lynch's letter be made a part of the minutes. (Page Six, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, November 21 , 1978) Mr. Adams asked the width of the right-of-way on Tract 8. Mr. Hughes stated it is thirty-five feet. Mr. Adams stated it would be a private right-of-way for that lot and will be maintained by the property owner. Mr. Hughes stated this is correct. Mr. Adams stated he abstains from voting because of his involvement in Westpark Central . Mr. Jones made a motion to recommend final platting of Tracts 6, 7 and 8, Westpark Central , as requested. Mr. Deithloff seconded the motion and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Messrs.
