He said that more than half of this tract is sur- rounded bycommerclal projects already. He also said that sewer capacity in this area had been checked into about a year ago, and that at that time, there was capacity forR-5development.. Discussion followed concernIng how the remainder of the tract might be used, location of a streetandusesinC-3 zoning. Commissioners agreed they would prefer to table this item until more definite plans could be formulated, and Mr. Wood agreed that more plannIng would be necessary because of the restriction in the size of the tract allowable in C-3districts. L.- B.Groce,a resident of the neighborhood came forward to say he was opposed to this rezoning reques.t because of the heavy traffic a1 ready in that area which would be i n- creased with the development of more commercial projects. No one else spoke. Publichearingwasc'losed. Mr. Hall made amotion to table this request until Noyember18th if that gave the applicant enough time. Mr .Mi 11 er 'seconded the motion. MotTon carried unanimously." AGENDA ITEM No.4: 82-315: A preliminary plat-BlockBLot .1 EastMarkll. Mr. Mayo located the tract on a plat and indicated staff still has a problem with the depth of 4 of the lots facing Southwest Parkway. He said that staff would prefer a plan which would maintain control of curb cuts (number and location) and signage, indicating that perhaps specific areas be designated as "building sites"and then signage could be controlled through the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Hill asked if the Com- mission should now designate the number of signs to be allowed on this prel iminary plat, and Mr. Mayo said hedidn't think that should be done tonight, but rather that the developer is aware of theCommission's feelings concerning a large number of signs, and that this should be recorded in the minutes. Mr. Behling pointed out that these were huge lots for any commercial project and thinks that a note on the plat should be included to show that re"'subdivisioncould occur. MrfO Miller indicated that he is somewhat concerned about the access road being only one way each way, and feels that the City could not possibly allow 3 or 4 curb cuts on the access road. Mr. Mayo informed him that the Engineering Department has control of curb cuts, but further indicated there is a legal question concerning a property owner1s right to access to a publ ic street. J. W.Wood spoke and said that he had complied with all recommendations received from staff concerning this preliminary plat, including a private access easement. He said that an attempt has been made to divide this large tract into as few a number of small, usable tracts as is possible, and most tracts are about 2 acres in size, which is larger than most small businesses need, but with thlsplan, curb cuts would be minimal. After much discussion, Mr. Behl ing indTcatedthat he would like for the Commission to approve thisprel iminaryplat,andto work out the sign problem on the Final Plat. Mr. Kelly said that he would like to have the City Attorney rule on how 5 ignage can be controlled. Mr. Behling said that whatever the decision, it should become a matter of record on the plat itself. Mr. Runnels mentioned thepossibiJity of an overpass on Southwest Parkway, and how the route or location of i tcou lda ffect this t ractofl and. Mr. Mayo sa id theH i ghway Department has presented 2 plans for consideration, and that staff will recommend to Council that it be routed into RafntreeDrive. ~ . . . 1,'1 ~. P&ZMinutes 11 -4-82 . page 3 After further discussion, Mr. Bailey made a motion to approve this preliminary_plat. Mr. Miller secoridedthemotion. Mr. Hall said that it was h.is understanding that approvalofapreliminaryiplat was a 11stamp of approval"with minor changes, and that he believes there are too many problems to be resolved on this preliminary plat to get approval. He named (1) sign problems, (2) private access easement, and (3) future de.signof the Southwest Parkway overpass. Mr. Bailey pointed out that historically the Commission has approved preliminary plats, and then had received completely differehtFinalPlats of the sa~e property, and all concerns must be taken care of before the Final Plat is approved. Mr. Mayo pointed out that the Final Plat section of the Ordinance says the City in no way is obl igated to approve a Final Plat simply because a preli.minaryplat has been approved. Mr. Hall still felt he would be more comfortable in denying'this preliminary plat which would tell the developer that the Commission doesn't like it. Motion toapprovetheprelimJnary plat carried with 2 negative votes. (Fleming & Hall) AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: 82-316: A preliminary plat -Woodway West - 32.289 acres out of the Crawford Burnett League at the intersection of Luther St. & Jones Butler Road. Mr. Mayopresentedthls plat and indicated staff recommends approval with the P~esub- mission Conference recommendations. Mr., Kelly asked who will be paving the road where I.G.&N.is, and Mr. Mayo said the City probably would. Mr. Kelly asked about cir- culation and Mr. Mayo said the street.will be extended i.n the future, and the plans might change to include paving from the existing Luther to the new Luther, but the Director of Capital Improvements would have to take a look at this. Mr. Behl ing asked why the developerdoesnl tmake the.street now, and was informed they don I town that land. Mr. Kelly said that he is concerned with blocking the existing Luther Road and whowi<ll do the paving between the existing Luther and the new Luther, and that he recommends that the City or the developer pave that short strip to the new Luther to provide access in to this new development. Mike McClure, one of the engineers involved in the development of this project, came forward and said the developers plan to .Lnclude a street along the I.G.& N. RR, which will extend to the new location of Luther Street, and it is his understanding that the City currently does not have a plan for that street to go to Holleman, but the developers do not own the property now and are platting only the property they own, and need to workout some legal problems on that short section of street. Ownership of that right-of-way was discussed, with no answers reached. Mr. Kelly asked what size street was planned, and Mr. McClure answered a39 ft. street is planned. Mr. Miller said he wants to make. sure this street is extended to the new Luther Street, and doesn'twant to be put in apositlonof suggesting, by approval ofa preliminary plat, that the City is not going to require the extension of this street. Mr. Kelly made amotion to approve this preliminary plat with the underst~nding that the developers and engineers are aware of the situation of the City concerning extend- i ng th is stretch of street from the ex i st ing Luther to the proposed Luthe.r forc i rcu- lation. Mr. Miller seconded. Mr. Behling then read an excerpt from the minutes of the 4-15-82 meeting concerning the extension of Holleman and the directive that no .futureplattingwould be done in that area, and no. future building permits issued there until Holleman is completed. He.wanted it to be on record that this particular platted- area falls into that area, and the Commission can only approve this Prel iminary Plat, and no Final Plat can be approved until Holleman is completed. Mr. Mayo pointed out that there already had been a preliminary plat approved on this at the time of the 4-15-82 ruling. Mr. Behling reiterated therewlll be no Final Plats or Building Permits issued until Holleman is complete. Motion carried unanimously. 1;;b --d/lj , .
