Chairman Wells called the meeting to order at 7:00 P. M. and asked for corrections
and approval of the Minutes of January 18, 1971 meeting. Commissioner Evans moved that
the minutes be approved as written, seconded by Commissioner Landiss. Motion carried.
P&Z Case No. 1-71 - The Commission considered the final subdivision plat of Tract 1,
River Oaks Subdivision located on the southside of Highway 30.
• Chairman Wells reported that tax certificates from all taxing agencies would have to
be filed and the $10.00 filing fee paid when the developer wanted the plat filed of record.
Chairman Wells read a letter from Mr. W. W. Mann, Mann & Company of 3737 Green-
way Plaza, Houston, Texas, stating the subdivision was to be developed as an apartment pro-
ject by a joint venture with Mr. Tay Bond.
In a discussion of the easements within the River Oaks Subdivison, Engineer James
stated that a metes and bounds easement will be recorded and it will be necessary to obtain
an easement to get water to the park. Engineer Pate pointed out the approximate location of
an easement for the location of a water line to this area.
Commissioner Orr moved for the approval of the final plat on Section 1, River Oaks
Subdivisi rn, conditioned upon submission of an acceptable Guarantee of Completion and
certificates from all taxing agencies showing taxes paid. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Landiss. Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Wells pointed out to Engineer Pate and the developers of River Oaks Sub-
division that the approval of this plat did not entitle the developers to build at this time; they
had to wait for approval of the zoning request.
Engineer Pate thanked the members of the Commission for their consideration and
• approval of the River Oaks Subdivision.

Minutes - Planning & Zoning Commission
February 1, 1971
• The request to rezone was signed by Mr. J. W. Wood, Vice President and Mr.
Martel, President, Wolf Pen Creek Corporation.
Mr. Wood stated that he wanted to withdraw his request to rezone since he had
secured additional information and the proposed plans for the development of this property
could not be fulfilled under the District No. 3, Apartment, classification.
The Wolf Pen Creek Corporation had planned to build cluster housing or a planned
unit development, not apartments. Following considerable discussion among members,
Mr. Wood and citizens present, Commission members agreed that a proposed P-U-D
ordinance be presented to and recommended for approval by City Council.
It was agreed by the Commission that the P-U-D section of the proposed revision
of the Zoning Ordinance be modified to conform to Ordinance 38, with as little change as
possible.
The Zoning Committee (Commissioners Tishler, Stone and Wells) agreed to meet
with City Planner Eby to work on the proposed P-U-D ordinance.
In other business before the Commission, Chairman Wells stated he would like for
the Subdivision and Street Committee to call a meeting to start the plan for major streets
• into the extraterritorial jurisdiction area. The Zoning Committee would meet and study the
new zoning map.
On motion by Commissioner Orr, seconded by Commissioner Landiss, the meeting
was adjourned, subject to call. (8:30 P.M.)
