Mr. Jay Patterson, representing Terra Land Development Company made the presentation.
He stated that the development, containing approximately 600 acres, contains a
golf course with a country club theme. Three million cubic yards of fill will
be required to bring those parts of the development that flood up out of the
flood plain. A landscaped linear park is proposed to be developed under the
utility structures with a homeowners association maintaining the greenspace area.
All greenspace areas will be open for public use. Landscaping and irrigation
would be provided along the railroad property on the southern boundary of the
property. Triland Development would build two lanes of the MacArthur Boulevard
extension through this property and would be reimbursed by Terra Land Develop-
ment Company for the cost of this extension with the additional two lanes and
the divided median being constructed by Terra Company. The open drainage on the
northern boundary of the property would either be covered or landscaped,
according to the wishes of the City Council. Following the presentation, Mayor
Brown declared the public hearing open and asked for those persons present who
wished to speak against the proposed zoning. Those persons speaking were Mr.
Don Nixon, Mr. David Bain, Mr. Lewis Ferrero, Mrs. Sandra Burton, Mr. Mike
Ruiz, Mr. Bill Enlow, Mr. Michael Lee, and Mrs. Darianne Hall. Mayor Brown
then asked for those persons who wished to speak for the proposed change. Those
persons speaking were Mr. Larry Strom. Mayor Brown then declared the public
hearing closed. Discussion by the Council then followed where concerns voiced
were the density and the traffic increase. Prior to a motion by Council, Mr.
Patterson requested a short recess to confer with his company for a counter
proposal to the one presented tonight. Request for recess was granted.
Following the recess, Mr. Patterson informed the Council that Terra Land
Development Company would like to amend their zoning change request to include
a second access road, crossing the railroad track, at the southeastern portion
of the property, to include deed restrictions that no building permits be
issued east of MacArthur Boulevard until the Corps of Engineers has approved
Terra's land reclamation plan, and to include that the MF-2 west of the swale
be changed to TH-1. Following further discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Thompson moved
that both the amended zoning request and the original request for zoning be
denied without prejudice; Councilman Pettijohn seconded and motion carried 5-0.
PLATTING ACTIONS
5. Plat Application #84-09-17 - to consider approval of a preliminary plat
of Northlake Woodlands East, Phase 8 on the property located at the corner
of Mockingbird Lane and Beltline Road
Mr. Bill Troth and Mr. Steve Parsons made the presentation to the Council.
This request is for a private frong tennis facility and would be constructed
of a poured concrete, tilt slab with a metal roof. The facility will be deed
restricted so that it would be a private facility only and would not be
allowed to become a private club. The area surrounding the facility would
be fenced (wrought iron) and landscaped and would be developed according to
commercial requirements. Following discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Thompson moved
that this plat be approved with the stipulation that the plat be deed restricted
so that it could not be converted to a private club, that the deed restriction
could not be removed without prior Council approval, and that the facility be
screened; Councilman Pettijohn seconded and motion carried 5-0.
CONSENT AGENDA
Councilman Bailey moved that the minutes be removed from the consent agenda and
be considered separately; Mayor Pro Tem Thompson seconded and motion carried 5-0.
Councilman Bailey then moved that Item No. 7 (Approval of the Departmental Bills)
be approved; Mayor Pro Tem Thompson seconded and motion carried 5-0.

change request of Tristar Tompkins Joint Venture) included a motion to table
this item to the December 11, 1984 Council meeting. Councilman Bailey moved
