TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ron Ragland, City Manager
DATE: July 8, 1983
SUBJECT: City Council Agenda - July 12, 1983
ITEM 12A & 12B: Preliminary Plat and Zoning Change - Northt~ke Woodlands
East, Phases III, IV & V
There are two issues that need to be addressed prior to the approval of
this plat.
1. Master Thoroughfare Plan - Moore Road is a critical north/south
link in the City's master plan which calls for an 80 feet right-
of-way dedication. I can tell you now that if you allow this
property to be platted without the appropriate dedication, the
City will be required to purchase the dedication at a later
date at the tax payer's expense, and with great displeasure to
the individual property owners. I recommend that the required
10 feet of right-of-way be dedicated along Moore Road.
2. It is my recommendation that the entire road adjacent to the
school site be properly designed to handle the institutional
use and traffic that will be generated. Drivers will stop and
park on both sides of the street to wait for students being
delivered and picked up. If the street is too narrow, such
activity will create a dangerous situation in terms of visibility,
manuerver~bility and traffic flow. I recomnend 60 feet R-O-W be
dedicated and the entire road be paved from the northern boundary
of the school site to the southern most construction point.
The P & Z Con~nission recommended approval of this preliminary plat on a
3-2 vote. With the two exceptions mentioned above, Steve Parsons has
agreed to make all the corrections as required and listed on the review
by Hogan & Rasor.

Enterprises, Inc. for a zoning change from SF-12, Single Family to a zoning

Mr. Steve Parsons made the presentation to the Commission. Mr. Parsons stated
that they are asking for a Planned Development zoning because of the average
72 feet width of the lots and a minimum front building line of 25 feet. Chair-

wished to speak for the proposed change. There were none. He then asked for
those persons who wished to speak against the proposed change. Again, there
were none. The public hearing was declared closed. Following discussion by
the Commission, Commissioner Weaver moved that the zoning change request be
recommended for approval; Con~nissioner Pope seconded and motion carried 4-0.

V of Northlake Woodlands East
Mr. Parsons again made the presentation to the Con~nission concerning the
preliminary plat on this section of land. The Commissioners reviewed City
Engineers, Hogan & Rasors' recommendations on this proposed development with
Mr. Parsons. Mr. Parsons agreed to all of the conditi~ns ~d t~-mns of the
proposed recommendations with the exception of al)eys b~inl) reqL. ireo in the
development and Moore Road being widened to an 80 feet righ~-of-v, ay. A copy
