Agenda Item #5. ZA 95 -28 Rezoning Request
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for
Rezoning of 0.46 acres situated in the Hiram Granberry Survey, Abstract No. 581, Tract 2D. The
location is on the South side of W. Southlake Blvd., West of the entrance to Lake Crest Addition.
The Current Zoning is "AG" Agricultural and the Requested Zoning is "0 -1" Office District. The
Land Use Category is Medium Density Residential. The Owners are Walter E. and Katherine Morris
and the Applicant is Dr. Timothy M. Huckabee. The property is located in SPIN Neighborhood #14.
Eight written notices were sent out and one written response was received from outside the 200'
notification area and it was undecided. Ms. Gandy clarified the dimensions of the property as
approximately 80' x 240', and Director Last explained there was no strip of land between this
property and F.M. 1709 R.O.W. even though the TAD map indicated otherwise. Mr. Last also
commented that the property to the East is approximately the same width as the subject property.
Dr. Timothy M. Huckabee, 2000 E. Hwy. 114, was present to represent this item.
Dr. Huckabee described plans for the appearance of the dental office to be a high quality one story
residential style building with parking in the rear. Connection to city sewer will also be
accommodated.
Public Hearing.
Tom Jacobowski, 107 Springbrook Ct., asked to see a drawing of the proposed building and Dr.
Huckabee provided an overhead. Mr. Jacobowski asked what impact this rezoning would have on
property owned by Mr. Kennedy and stated that his understanding was this property has a Land Use
Category of Medium Density Residential and was to have been a cul -de -sac with a residential use.
Chairman Wright commented that the cul -de -sac idea would suffice if the intent of the property is
to use it for residential, however, if the property is to be an office use, it will front F.M. 1709. Ms.
Gandy clarified that Mr. Kennedy owns most of the adjacent property and to -date no request has
G: \WPF\MTG \ MIN \04- 06 -95. WPD
Planning and Zoning Meeting
April 6, 1995
Page 4
been submitted requesting a zoning change. Chairman Wright explained even though this property
suggests a Medium Density Residential use, the Land Use Plan is not set in concrete.
Discussion of the overhead exhibit of the dental office, explanation of the platting procedure, and
required approvals to obtain a building permit were addressed.
Jim Martin, 2230 W. Southlake Blvd., commented that to his understanding, there would be no
zoning changes on F.M. 1709 until the Corridor Study is completed.
Public Hearing Closed.
Commissioner McGarity stated the property is too small for this use and it does not adhere to the
Land Use Plan and, for these reasons, the request should be turned down.
Other questions and answers concluded that the building is to be 2500 sq. ft; water run -off from the
concrete parking will be addressed before construction; the building will be one story; the overhead
exhibit of the building does define the bufferyards, and the building will adhere to final Corridor
Study requirements and blend with residential development with a pitched composition roof.
Commissioner Tate feels the "0 -1" Office use is appropriate and he does not foresee a residential use
on this property.
Commissioner Hobbs and Arnold feel the size limits residential development and commented that
"0-1" is the lightest use for the property other than residential.
Motion was made to approve ZA 95 -28 Rezoning Request.
Motion: Arnold
Second: Tate
Ayes: Arnold, Murphy, Wright, Tate and Hobbs
Nays: McGarity
Approved: 5 -1
Chairman Wright stepped down and Vice - Chairman Tate presided over agenda items #6 & #8.
Agenda Item #6, ZA 95 -29 Development Plan/Timarron Addition, Village "H"
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for
a Development Plan for Timarron Addition, Village "H ", being 91.17 acres situated in the
Hollingsworth & Barnett Survey, Abstract No. 797, the M.W. Davenport Survey, Abstract No. 432,
and the John N. Gibson Survey, Abstract No. 591. The location is on the Southwest corner of E.

Continental Blvd. and Brumlow Ave. The Current Zoning is "R- P.U.D." Residential Planned Unit
Development. The Land Use Category is Medium Density Residential. The Owner is Timarron
Land Corporation and the Applicant is Carter & Burgess, Inc. The property is located in SPIN
Neighborhood #9. Twenty -one written notices were sent out and two written responses were
received from within the 200' notification area in favor. Ms. Gandy stated the Applicant has met the
minimum curvilinear street design requirements of comment #5.J. on the Plan Review Summary and
this comment should be deleted. She also commented that item #8 providing a 20' Public Access
Easement for the trail system is premature since the City has not yet adopted the Master Trail
System. Timarron, however, has agreed to dedicate this at the Final Plat stage.
The Commission discussed old Brumlow and existing tract access, and bufferyard comments.
Steve Yetts, 300 E. Carpenter Frwy., Suite 1425, Irving, was present to represent Timarron Land
Corporation.
Mr. Yetts stated he was in agreement with the Plan Review Summary dated March 31, 1995 with
the exception of item #5.I. recommending that Street "D" be aligned with South Carroll Ave. He
explained that Street "D" entrance lines up to tee boxes on hole #2 of the golf course and creates an
important statement when entering the development. For this reason, and to eliminate traffic taking
short cuts to Byron Nelson Pkwy., he would like to keep the entrance at this location. He also
restated Ms. Gandy's comment to accommodate the trail system by providing a 20' Public Access
Easement along the North boundary line of the project tract at Final Plat.
Public Hearing.
No Discussion.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion was made to approve ZA 95 -29 Development Plan for Timarron Addition, Village "H"
subject to the first Plan Review Summary dated March 31, 1995, deleting item #5.I. requiring Street
"D" be aligned with S. Carroll Ave. and deleting item #5.J. regarding the curvilinear street design
requirement.

Agenda Item #8. ZA 95 -31 Plat Showing
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for
Plat Showing of Lots 1 & 2, Hall Medlin No. 1038 Addition, being 6.039 acres situated in the Hall
Medlin Survey, Abstract No. 1038, Tracts 2D1, 2D2, 2D3, 2D3A, 2D4, 2D5, and 2D6. The location
is on the Southeast Corner of E. Continental Blvd. and S. White Chapel Blvd. The Current Zoning
is "R- P.U.D." Residential Planned Unit Development. The Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The
Owner is Timarron Land Corporation and the Applicant is Carter & Burgess, Inc. The property is
located in SPIN Neighborhood #9. Twenty written notices were sent out and four written responses
were received from within the 200' notification area opposed and one was in favor. One written
response was received from outside the 200' notification area opposed and one was received in favor.
Ms. Gandy advised the Commission that residents of Timarron are concerned that this request is for
a change in zoning to Commercial uses. The request, however, is a platting issue. This Plat
Showing was approved in October 1991. Ordinance No. 480 -01A and the associated Concept Plan
designated certain areas for "C -2" Commercial uses and was approved on April 16, 1991. The
Applicant failed to file the Plat Showing at the Courthouse and it has since expired. This Plat
Showing is essentially a duplicate of the one already approved. Ms. Gandy again commented that
item #9 providing a 20' Public Access Easement for the trail system is premature since the City has
not yet adopted the Master Trail System. As with the previous request, Timarron has agreed to
dedicate this at the Final Plat stage.
Steve Yetts, 300 E. Carpenter Frwy, Suite 1425, Irving, was present to represent Timarron Land
Corporation.
Mr. Yetts restated Ms. Gandy's comments explaining the reason for the request as being a correction
to the oversight of failing to file the Plat Showing, and this being simply a housekeeping measure
to clean up the paperwork. In addition, he stated the comments in the Plat Review Summary dated
March 31, 1995 will all be addressed.
Public Hearing.
Gary Hargett, 935 S. White Chapel Blvd., expressed the concern that if this formality of reapproving
the expired Plat Showing is required, shouldn't the zoning go hand in hand with the plat and require
a reapproval also. The citizens want quality residential areas and commercial uses in the proper
places and this request does not allow that. Mr. Hargett said a major concern of the homeowners is
that Mobil will keep this small commercial piece of property until after the residential area develops
and then sell it to someone from out of state who will be hard to work with and who will put
whatever he wants to on the property without regard to the neighboring resident's wishes. Spot
zoning in a residential neighborhood is a hot issue which needs to be looked at in great detail.

Director Last explained that platting and zoning are two different processes. Platting is essentially
the legal documentation of the boundary of a property and has nothing to do with the zoning of a
property. This Plat Showing has no bearing on zoning. Once zoning is in place, it can run to
perpetuity.
Greg Saunders, 503 Vicksburg, questioned if zoning goes with the land and has no expiration date,
what are the legalities of failing to file a plat in regards to exceeding the statute of limitations.
Director Last stated Statute of Limitations did not apply to platting. Mr. Saunders asked what
Timarron's plans were for this land and Mr. Yetts stated there are no current plans for that comer and
at this time there is no potential purchaser for the property. Mr. Saunders asked for clarification on
the definition of green space as it relates to a golf course and was provided with the information from
the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Saunders feels the issues are not definable and further consideration is
needed and, therefore, this request should be tabled.
Joseph McClure, 1495 Bent Trail Circle, asked if a Plat Showing was required before building could
begin on a property. Director Last replied yes and if the Applicant met all requirements of the
subdivision ordinance it is Staffs duty to approve the request. Mr. McClure suggested that Timarron
sell the property to Timarron residents so that the community could decide the outcome of that
corner.
Kamran Saadatjoo, 385 Highland Oaks Circle, said he did not understand the connection between
zoning and platting together and Vice - Chairman Tate restated there is no correlation between the
two.
Jim Giffen, 1020 Highland Oaks Dr., asked how the residents could get this zoning back to
residential and Director Last suggested an avenue to pursue is to talk to the developer and work from
there. Mr. Giffen said the citizens are concerned about this request even though the Applicant says
it is merely a housekeeping procedure.
Jim Roberts, 310 Glenrose Ct., asked why the two lots were so different in size and Mr. Yetts
explained that Lot 1 containing the Timarron Community Sign will most likely be deeded to the
Timarron Homeowners Association at the completion of the development and Lot 2 can be sold.
Juergen Strunck, 200 N. Carroll Ave., addressed the issue of the golf course being included in the
10% required open space and after discussion with the Commission he stated he feels this item
should be tabled until questions could be more clearly answered.
Public Hearing Closed.

Planned Unit Development. The Owner is Timarron Land Corporation and the Applicant is Carter
& Burgess, Inc. The property is located in SPIN Neighborhood #9. Ten written notices were sent
out and one written response was received from within the 200' notification area in favor. Ms.
Gandy explained the purpose of this revision is to correct the location of 100 year flood plain and
to revise the variable width drainage easement that is located between the two phases. Staff is also
recommending that this plat be divided into two phases for ease of tracking in the future. Director
Last said to his understanding, Timarron has agreed to do this.
Steve Yetts, 300 E. Carpenter Frwy, Suite 1425, Irving, was present to represent Timarron Land
Corporation.
Mr. Yetts explained there is a nature preserve area that runs through the location and some easements
were violated by the builder. This request is to clean up mistakes previously made. Mr. Yetts also

stated he is in agreement with comments on the Plat Review Summary dated March 31, 1995 and
he does intend to split the exhibit into the two phases.

Review Summary should be deleted.

General Commercial District. The Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The Owner is Southridge
Center, L.P. and the Applicant is Graham Associates. The property is located in SPIN
Neighborhood #13. No written notices were required. Ms. Gandy stated further review found no
100 year flood plain on this property and, therefore, item #6 on the Plat Review Summary dated
March 31, 1995 should be deleted. She further stated that this Final Plat substantially conformed
with the previously approved Preliminary Plat. Also, a pre -mylar submittal has been received by
Staff and the Applicant has met all recommended changes to the first Plat Review Summary with
the exception of 5C.
Chuck Starke, 616 Six Flags Dr., Arlington, was present to represent this item.
Mr. Starke stated he has received the Plat Review Summary and corrections have been made,
including 5C.

Chairman Wright advised Staff and the audience to go to agenda item #17 for the Public Hearing
for the Corridor Study.
Agenda Item #17, Adoption of the Corridor Study
Director Last informed the Commission that before them was the March 31st draft of the Corridor
Study regulations for S.H. 114, F.M. 1709, and F.M. 1938 Corridors. He commented that Dennis
Wilson, the Consultant working with the City on the project over the past year, and Rowland
Jackson, a Landscape Architect, are here to answer any questions. Director Last made additional
comments pertaining to the current draft document, citizen input and the direction the Commission
wants to proceed with revising the regulations. He then discussed right -of -way planned designations
for S. Carroll Ave. with the Commission.
Public Hearing
David Harris, 920 Ownby Lane, said most of audience is here from the Southview Addition and
from the addition to the North and they are all concerned with what direction Carroll Ave. is going
to take. Will it be a five lane road or will it be a divided boulevard? He said he is not adverse to
commercial development to the East of Carroll Ave., however, development should be compatible
to residential and efforts should be made to insure buffers and setbacks along Carroll Ave. as it
relates to their neighborhood. When the property develops there will be more traffic. Mr. Harris
feels a timetable should be given to the residents of Southview on both the widening of Carroll Ave.
and the development to the East so residents will know where they stand.
Mat Deno, 400 Southview Trail, brought up issues dealing with the Neighborhood Preservation
Ordinance and Chairman Wright said this was another item to be addressed at another time.
Juergen Strunk, 200 N. Carroll, brought up concerns with bufferyards, setbacks, urban design
guidelines, and commented the Corridor Study should also address cross streets and not just main
arterials. Trash receptacles located at the back of businesses in the view of neighboring Southlake
citizens was also a concern.

Richard Lawrence, 520 Southview Tr., stated there are inconsistencies in the regulations. Language
such as "6 -story buildings, as determined to be appropriate and to serve the patrons" is undefinable
and unclear. His understanding of the regulations require retail to have access to the arterials.
Implementation of Village Center will dramatically impact Carroll Ave. Minimizing driveway
access along the Corridors will ultimately place more driveways on Carroll Ave. at Village Center
which will be a big burden to the residents of Southview.
Chairman Wright commented that commercial development to the East of Carroll Ave. could start
in one year or twenty years. There is no time table at this time.
Jerry Curan, 925 Southcrest Ct., President of Southview Homeowners Association. commented his
understanding is that the City of Southlake will be moving their location in the future and if the City
is so thrilled with Village Center, why are they moving. Chairman Wright stated Council will make
that final decision and will probably take into consideration that the existing tract of land is not large
enough for a new City Hall and the City will probably not want to pay the price that will be asked
for additional land. Mr. Curan also said he echoes the sentiments of the previous speakers.
Becky McMichael, 350 Binkley Ct., stated she is a former City Attorney. She thinks the City can
accommodate Village Center in a way that makes everyone happy if the City makes the right
decisions now.
Richard McMichael, 350 Binkley Ct., Vice President of Southview Homeowners Association
brought up the Master Trail Plan issue of enough room to put a trail along Carroll Ave. Knowing
the intended ROW of Carroll Ave. would allow residents of Southview to know how much room is
going to be available between the street and the wall. The amount of curb cuts dumping onto Carroll
Ave. will help determine traffic issues. Expansion of Carroll Ave. crossing F.M. 1709 was
addressed. Mr. McMichael suggested that another arterial street be considered to the West of
Walmart and East of Village Center to help alleviate retail traffic. Bufferyard issues on the East side
of Carroll Ave. were also discussed further.
Becky Smith, 675 Bentwood Lane, stated Carroll Ave. should be constructed before commercial
develops across the street from Southview Addition. She feels residents should be kept updated with
what is happening in the future.
Jim Martin, owner of Jellico Corner, stated he came to hear discussion on the Corridor Study which
involves S.H. 114, F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938, and so far, he has heard comments on Carroll Ave.
only. He suggested the meeting agenda be followed and everyone get together and talk about Carroll
Ave. at another time.

Ron Maness, 420 Ravenaux, stated one reason the charter amendments failed was due to not enough
information being provided to the citizens for them to make an informed vote. He sees the same
thing happening here. He feels the citizens should have more information and this item should be
tabled and given more time. He does not understand the urgency since there is already an abundance
of land zoned commercial. He said "Don't sacrifice quality for speed." Chairman Wright disagreed
and said there was a need to do something with all the changes that were rapidly happening in
Southlake.
Dennis McGrath, 2403 N. Carroll, stated he has seen different groups come in and get different
things in various parts of the City. He asked the Commission not to look at what the external people
want but to first look at the citizen's inputs even though it might cost the developers more. If
decisions are made that start off at the high end, and are later found to not work, we can come back
later with change.
Scott Martin, 591 E. Dove Rd., stated some of the better higher quality items suggested by the expert
Consultants were deleted that he feels should be put back in. These include a greater control of
parking in front of buildings, going back to larger bufferyards, and maybe consideration of setbacks
in regards to these. He hates to see the City diminishing what the experts have spent many months
and many of the Southlake tax dollars studying and putting propositions before us only to have them
diminished. Mr. Martin feels we can have good development in Southlake and we do need to decide
things quickly, however, communication with citizens is important and it may be logical to include
Carroll Ave. in the Study as it relates to buffering. And, although there is no development on the
East side of Carroll Ave. at this time, limitation of access onto Carroll Ave. should be considered
and put in the regulations.
The Commission discussed comments made by the citizens and discussed recommended changes
and additions were made to the entire Draft No. 2 of the Corridor Study.
After discussion of the ordinance, Director Last said he would take the comments addressed at this
meeting and the prior comments not included in this Draft and have a revised draft ready to discuss
at a later Planning and Zoning meeting. Director Last stated that copies of the updated draft will be
made available to interested parties to pick up on April 26, 1995 in the afternoon.
Chairman Wright clarified that even though wording has changed since the inception of the
regulations, this does not mean they have been eliminated. What we have right now are a bunch of
suggestions and we are not at a final stage. The Commission and Staff are making an effort to try
to figure out a compromise that will allow things to happen.
Motion was made to table Adoption of the Corridor Study to the May 4, 1995 Planning and Zoning
Meeting and continue the Public Hearing.

Agenda Item #13, Revisions to Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 -D, Section 3.03(D29) and Section
3.07(B.)
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the request is for Revisions to
Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 -D, Section 3.03(D29) amending Final Plat submittal requirements,
and Section 3.07(B.) amending the requirement for an Avigation Easement for properties within the
Airport Overlay Zone. She stated that the actual Avigation Easement had been provided to the
Commissioners and this language was the outcome of many meetings between the City Attorneys
and the DFW Attorneys. She explained the process for an Avigation Easement.

Planning and Zoning Meeting
April 6, 1995
Page 15
Chairman Wright stated he has read the easement and has given a lot of thought to this particular
item and he will vote against it. He feels it is entirely in the airport's favor and the City gets nothing
in return and he is opposed to it. The airport has not taken into consideration their own more recent
study that says these noise corridors are not as large as what they show to be, and they won't give
up on that point even though their study is the one that says the corridors are smaller. Ms. Gandy
clarified the airport is basing this on the 1974 EIS and not the more recent EIS. Chairman Wright
also said the airport is fighting court cases using the more current study saying it is correct and then
are turning around and telling Southlake the 1974 EIS is the correct study.
Commissioner McGarity sees no mechanism that this easement will ever be abandoned or done away
with and wording in the easement does include perpetual. He is disturbed with language that refers
to 1000' above mean sea level. Since Southlake is approximately 600' above sea level we are giving
them the right to fly anything over 400' above Southlake homes. He feels that in no way should an
easement be required as a condition of zoning since there would be a lot of land not affected by the
easement. Property should not have this as a cloud upon the title for all the property within the
zoning case and should only be done at the platting or building stage.
Commissioner Murphy expressed concerns of sending this forward to City Council with a denial
considering how much of the taxpayer's money has already been spent and will continue to be spent
if this is denied. He is wondering what the best outcome will be if Planning and Zoning denies this
because it does not feel good about this.
Director Last stated the attorneys have spent a lot of time and negotiations on this. Chairman Wright
asked what the attorneys negotiated for the City of Southlake and Director Last explained the
easement would allow the City to make a good faith effort by providing notification to anyone
acquiring land that they are in that easement and make them aware that there might be an impact
because of it.
Public Hearing.
John Moore stated this is not good for the City of Southlake and if this request goes forward before
the City Council, he will speak against it.
Scott Martin, 591 E. Dove Rd., agreed with what has been discussed. He stated he now lives under
a noise cone and no one informed him of this when he bought his property. He suggested there
should be some other mechanism to notify potential purchasers of property other than to give the
airport this indefinite easement.
Public Hearing Closed.

Motion was made to Deny Revisions to Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 -D, Section 3.03(D29) and
Section 3.07(B.). Reasons for denial are the Avigation Easement is written to the favor of
Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and is not in any way beneficial to the City of Southlake; it is based on
a study that is over 20 years old and which the airport has acknowledged is obsolete; there is no
mechanism to ever abandon an easement and it exists to perpetuity; it gives the airport the right to
fly 400' above Southlake homes which is far too low; and under no condition should we require an
avigation easement as a condition of zoning since zoning could encompass land that would never
be affected by an Avigation Easement.

Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for
Revisions to Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -P, Section 43, "Airport Development Zone," establishing
a requirement for an Avigation Easement for properties within the Airport Overlay Zone.
Members of the Commission suggested this should not be approved for the same reasons as in the
previous discussion related to the subdivision ordinance.
Ms. Gandy clarified that this affects only the property located in the 65 and 75 LDN.
Public Hearing.
John Moore stated his sentiments were the same and this is not good for the City of Southlake.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion was made to Deny Revisions to Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -P, Section 43. Reasons for
denial are the Avigation Easement is written to the favor of Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and is not in
any way beneficial to the City of Southlake; it is based on a study that is over 20 years old and which
the airport has acknowledged is obsolete; there is no mechanism to ever abandon an easement and

Agenda Item #15. Revisions to Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -R
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the request is for Revisions to
Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -R permitting "Full Service Car Washes." Ms. Gandy stated Council has
directed Staff to bring this request before the Commission and her recommendations are as follows:
this would require a Specific Use Permit if the property is zoned "C3 ": this would be approved with
a Site Plan and not a Concept Plan; this would require sanitary sewer be available; this would be
located on a major arterial and have proper traffic circulation; there would be a minimum of ten
stacking places on property so there is no spill -over onto the surrounding roadway; there would be
a parking ratio of 1 to 200 sq. ft. of total floor area; and the wash bays and gasoline service area
would be offset on the site so you don't see lines and lines of cars. This will somewhat lessen the
impact of that use.
The Commission discussed various scenarios with Staff.
Public Hearing.
Dennis McGrath, 2403 N. Carroll, would like to see the exit door be the only thing allowed to be
seen from the front arterial. He would like to see the vacuuming and cleaning located in the back.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion was made to approve Revisions to Zoning Ordinance No. 480 -R changing the wording
related to a minimum of ten stacking spaces so it uses language similar to other ordinances in
surrounding cities that says two- thirds of minimum spaces may be tandem spaces for cars awaiting
wash or vacuum and include everything else as presented by Ms. Gandy.

Agenda Item #16. Adoption of Driveway Ordinance No. 634
Planner, Tom Elgin, advised the Commission that before them was Draft No. 3 of the Driveway
Ordinance. However, since this draft Mr. Elgin has received comments from the City Attorney, the
G: \WPF\MTG \ MIN \04- 06 -95. WPD
Planning and Zoning Meeting
April 6, 1995
Page 18
City Engineer and the Fire Marshal that are not in this draft. Given this, he suggested that comments
be heard from the audience. He also stated the diagram in this draft does not correspond to the
driveway spacing table and he would like to discuss this with the Commission.
Dean Henigsman, 12660 Coit Road, Dallas, Kenway Horne & Assoc., a transportation traffic
engineering firm, was hired by property owners on the Southeast corner of Kimball and F.M. 1709
and asked them to interpret the document and what impact it will have on that corner. His firm is
currently doing Thoroughfare Design Guidelines for Council of Governments which is a summary
and general recommendations used as a guide for Cities modifying their design guidelines. Issue
of driveway spacing and right -of -way from the centerline was discussed. What is shown is different
than what is typical in most cities and this was discussed in detail. He stated discrepancies turned
up in the table and text. His client has requested that this be tabled and his firm work with Staff to
discuss these issues.
Jim Makens, 2220 Airport Frwy., Bedford, agrees with previous speaker and stated that curb cuts
on major arterials should be less than 200' and more in the 100' range.
Dennis McGrath, 2403 N. Carroll, brought up problems with the right -in and right -out turn lanes
such as the one at the Taco Bell, and how they are abused.
Steve Harriam, Howell Wood & Company, 1845 Preceinct Line Rd., Hurst, stated he is in full
support of Mr. Makens' comments. This would protect the small property owners and allow them
to sell to pad users. This would assure the small property owner of sustaining the value of his
property.
Hank Quigg, The Richmond Group, 12200 Stemmons Frwy, #207, Dallas, discussed the distance
between curb cuts.
Scott Martin, 501 E. Dove Rd., feels the recommended standards are fairly reasonable. When this
all began 500' was the recommendation and it is now cut in half to 250'. The right -in and right -out
is a workable situation. Small parcels can be addressed separately. He agrees with the Consultants
and feels there recommendations should be followed.
Motion was made to table the Adoption of Driveway Ordinance No. 634 to the April 20, 1995
