OT~ER
EVALUATION OF ITEF~,, DATE:
On September 21, 1989, the Planning Commission recommended denial (3-2) of a
request for SF-7 on this parcel. The Commission's action was predicated on
non-conformance with the comprehensive plan, proximity to D/FW flight paths,
etc.
On October 10, 1989, Council overruled the Commission by a 6-1 vote and
approved PD-SF-9 zoning on this 50.1 acre parcel.
In November the Planning Commission denied a preliminary plat and authorized a
public hearing to consider proper zoning. Subsequent to that action, the
owner, developer, engineer, staff, members of Council and Commission met to
consider an alternative plan which resolved many o~,,,:-.the C¢
Included in these conversations: '..'. A~~}S~~erns°
a decrease in density to 138 lots BY
dedication of a 2.5 acre park site ad~ac~['~
a re-designed street pattern·
minimum dwelling unit size of 1,800 s ee
public access from Post Oak Drive to t-hepark land.
The Commission eventually agreed to retain the Council approved zonin nd in-
cluded conditions, including those just mentioned, in a preliminary plat subse-
quently approved by both Planning Commission and Council. The plat acts as the
site plan for this zoning change, but does not reflect the information included
in the original Council approved written P.D. conditions. The purpose of this
hearinq is to clarify the Council's position regarding this case, Obtain con-
sensus on the content of the pending amending ordinance, and insure that the
plat approved by Council is accurately reflected in the zoning ordinance.

Acting City Engineer Shohre Daneshmand made the presentation to
the Council. Mrs. Daneshmand stated that following studies by the
City, stop signs are not warranted at these intersections. During
discussion, Councilman Morton commended staff and the Police
Department on the additional patrolling in the Hunterwood
Subdivision. Following further discussion, Councilman Morton moved
that the recommendation of staff to not install stop signs at the
above stated intersections be approved. Councilman Thomas seconded
the motion; motion carried 5-0 with Councilmen Weaver, Thomas,
Morton, Cowman and Robertson voting in favor of the motion.
Item 7 Presentation by Ron Morrison of Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. regarding their review of the Kaye
Street Drainage issue (north side).
Mr. Ron Morrison of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. made the
presentation to the Council. Mr. Morrison stated that their study
found that 1) there is not sufficient cause to blame the drainage
problems on the Shadowridge Subdivision construction; 2) that field
surveys show that many of the swales grated by Fox & Jacobs to
drain storm water from the back of Kaye Street residences to
Spanish Moss Court are not properly grated; therefore, the result
of this causes water to stand on the Kaye Street lots; and 3)
according to their field survey, it is possible to construct a pvc
drain from the back of the Kaye Street lots between the Shadowridge
residences to Spanish Moss Court and still maintain a positive
drain. However, Mr. Morrison pointed out that there is not enough
fall to construct a standard grate inlet. Therefore, they are
proposing a removable grate. Mr. Morrison also indicated that the
installation of these pvc pipes could be installed for less than
$10,000 in their estimation. During discussion on this item,
Council requested the full survey with field notes and drawings
with engineers' seal for City files. Mr. Morrison indicated these
documents would be provided to the City. Council also expressed
disappointment in the information that was submitted and indicated
they were looking for definitive solutions to this problem.
Following further discussion, Councilman Thomas moved that the City
not take any action until it is seen how the study would fold into
the overall drainage study that is being conducted by Albert Halff
& Associates, Inc., which will be presented to the Council no later
than the last meeting in July. Councilman Weaver seconded the
motion; motion carried 4-1 with Councilmen Weaver, Thomas, Cowman
and Robertson voting in favor of the motion and Councilman Morton
voting against the motion.
Item 8 PUBLIC HEARING - Consider approval of an amendment to the
site plan for Case #PD-109, Oakbend Addition on property

Director of Planning & Community Services Gary Sieb made the
presentation to the Council. Mr. Sieb indicated this item is for
clarification of a zoning case for which Council considered a
zoning ordinance on May 22, 1990. The ordinance submitted did not
reflect the site plan and preliminary plat already approved by
Council. Consequently, Mr. Sieb asked the Council to clarify their
earlier action and direct the drafting of an ordinance ~hich
depicted the conditions of the site plan and plat. Mr. Berry~
Knight representing Centex Realty was also present to discuss this
item with the Council. Mayor Wolfe declared the public hearing
open and asked for those persons who wished to speak against the
proposed zoning change. There were none. He then asked for those
persons who wished to speak in favor of the proposed zoning change.
Again, there were none. The public hearing was left open at this
point. Following discussion by the Council, Councilman Morton
moved that this item be tabled until the last regular meeting in
July with the public hearing being held open. Councilman Robertson
seconded the motion. The motion did not have a definitive status
with a 3-2 vote with Councilmen Weaver, Morton and Robertson voting
in favor of the motion and Councilmen Thomas and Cowman voting
against the motion.

facilitate a four-lane thoroughfare if needed. Additionally, the
Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended intersection lane
configuration with the appropriate right-of-way width. Mayor Wolfe
declared the public hearing open and asked for those person who
wished to speak against the proposed Thoroughfare Plan. Those
persons speaking were:
1. Mr. Mike Daniel, Nathan Maier Engineers, representing Mr.
Bill Thompson. Mr. Daniel indicated his clients concern
about the recommendation for limited motions at the
Gateway and Royal intersection.
