ZA95 -106, REZONING AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR LIBERTY BANK Planner Tom Elgin informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for the Rezoning and Concept Plan for Liberty Bank, being 0.984 acre tract of land situated in the Thomas Easter Survey, Abstract No. 474, and the S. Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 525, and being legally described as Tract 1E1, W. E. Mayfield Addition. The property is located at 2438 E. Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709), on the North side, approximately 200 feet East of Bluebonnet Drive. The current zoning is "AG" Agricultural District, and the requested zoning is "C -2" Local Retail Commercial District. The Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The Owner is Keith Bunch, and the Applicant is Liberty Bank. The property is located in SPIN Neighborhood #7. Eight (8) written notices were sent to property owners within the 200 feet notification area, and the Staff has received four (4) written responses that are in favor of the proposed plan. At the November 9, 1995 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting, the Commission approved (7 -0) to table the case to tonight's meeting. The Applicant has met all of the review comments on the Plan Review Summary No. 1 dated November 3, 1995 with the exception of the items on the Plan Review Summary No. 2 dated December 1, 1995. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Staff to clarify item #4C (Define the Common Access Easement into the east line of the project site.) on the staff review letter. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the Applicant needs to define the limits of the common access easement. He stated that on the submitted plan, arrows were used to define the width, but the westerly extent was not defined. Chairman Wright stepped into the room at 7:20 p.m. Commissioner Potter asked the Staff to clarify the driveways that were discussed in item #4A (The existing driveways located on the east and west of the site are less than 500' from the proposed driveway on this site.) on the staff review letter. Planner Tom Elgin commented that two driveways exist off -site, one to the west for a single family residential dwelling and one to the east for a REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 4 business. Ernest Hedgcoth (Consulting Engineering), 5701 -C Midway Road, Fort Worth, Texas 76117, represented this item. He commented on the following items: 1) he attended a meeting last month with the Staff, Chairman Wright, and Commissioner Schroetke to discuss revisions; 2) the new submittal is only proposing one driveway; 3) he is requesting a variance on item #4A (500' requirement between full access driveways); 4) he is requesting a variance on item #4B (38' minimum driveway entrance throat depth); and 5) the Common Access Easement will be defined to the plan. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Mr. Hedgcoth if the Common Access Easement extended across the entire property (boundary to boundary). Mr. Hedgcoth commented that it will extend to 1' west of the driveway and to the property to the east, so it will have access. Commission discussion: Commissioner Hobbs asked the Staff if item #3 (bufferyard and plantings requirements) on the staff review letter are Corridor Overlay Zone requirements. Planner Tom Elgin confirmed that the requirements in the Corridor Overlay Zone were used. Commissioner Murphy asked the Staff if the required number of parking spaces were still an issue, since it is not noted on the staff review letter. Planner Tom Elgin commented that it is no longer an issue. Commissioner Potter asked the Staff about the traffic stacking in relation to the depth of the driveway throat provided and the 38' throat depth requirement. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the requirement came from a 20' bufferyard distance, plus 18' depth for parking space. This would allow the traffic circulation beyond a row of parking adjacent to the bufferyard. He stated that the plan proposes a travel lane adjacent to the bufferyard. Because the Applicant is not providing parking adjacent to the bufferyard, they do not need the 18' of the required 38'; the stacking provided will meet the anticipated amount of traffic for this development. Commissioner Murphy asked the Staff if the 38' requirement was a site issue or a traffic stacking issue. Planner Tom Elgin commented that it is a traffic stacking issue. Commissioner Murphy stated that the new submittal has been revised to show the driving lanes in the back of the development which will decrease the REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 5 traffic stacking issue and sees that it is no longer an issue. Planner Tom Elgin stated that with the depth of parkway in the F.M. 1709 (Southlake Boulevard) right -of -way, there will be approximately 50' of distance from the road travel lane. Commissioner Potter asked the Staff the number of car lengths in this distance. Planner Tom Elgin commented that it will be roughly 3 -4 car lengths. Commissioner Hobbs stated that the future development of the property to the west will raise the issue of driveways being too close together, because there is no common access easement across the front of the property, will be raised again. Commissioner Hobbs recommended a common access easement to the west of the property. Commissioner Schroetke stated the future of Blue Bonnet Drive is not certain and it may not be vacated. She added that the property to the west could have access on to Blue Bonnet Drive if it is not vacated and there might also be a proposal for access on to Kimball Avenue if all the property is developed. She asked Staff that if Blue Bonnet Drive was vacated, is there room for a drive with the 500 feet spacing requirement. Planner Tom Elgin commented that there would be if Blue Bonnet Drive was vacated. Commissioner Potter asked Staff what the "rationale" is for no access to the west. Planner Tom Elgin commented that if the developer assembled all the property to west that it would be a integrated development and could access Kimball Avenue. Vice - Chairman Johnson requested to Staff to point out the existing driveway to the west. He commented that if the property to the west was developed, the existing driveway could be used. Commissioner Schroetke asked the Staff when it will need to be in compliance with the Driveway Ordinance. Planner Tom Elgin commented that when the traffic increases by 30% on a property, it would then be subject to review at that time. Planner Tom Elgin stated that without the common ownership among the two parcels, he doubted that Blue Bonnet Drive would be vacated. Commissioner Schroetke asked Staff if the property adjacent to Blue Bonnet Drive has a driveway, as well as, a driveway on F.M. 1709 (Southlake Boulevard). Planner Tom Elgin commented that at this time he could not confirm this. Commissioner Potter stated his concern for the need of a common access easement to the west. Chairman Wright stated that as the plan is presented with the use intended for the property and the drive - through facilities, a more severe problem could arise having a common access easement to the west. This would bring traffic flow from the future development of the property to the west through the bank property. Motion was made to approve ZA95 -106, Concept Plan for Liberty Bank, subject to Plan Review Summary No. 2 dated December 1, 1995, as amended as follows: 1) modifying item #4A (500' distance between full access driveways) to allow access driveways as presented 2) deleting item #4B (38' driveway throat depth). Motion: Hobbs Second: Arnold REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 6 Ayes: Wright, Johnson, Arnold, Murphy, Hobbs, and Schroetke Nays: Potter Approved: 6 -1 Motion carried. (Planning and Zoning Meeting, 12- 07 -95, tape 1, section #191 -770) Chairman Wright stated that Tom Matthews, Applicant for case ZA95 -114, called him to request that his case be moved forward on the agenda, due to health problems. This case would be taken out of order and would be heard next. AGENDA ITEM #10, ZA95 -114. REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR HUSE HOMEPLACE Planner Tom Elgin informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for the Revised Preliminary Plat for Huse Homeplace, being 16.63 acre tract of land situated in the R.D. Price Survey, Abstract No. 1207, Tract 2C. The property is located adjacent and North of Quail Creek Estates Addition and adjacent and West of Harbor Oaks Addition. The current zoning is "SF -1A" Single Family Residential District. The Land Use Category is Low Density Residential. The Owner is Peggy Denton, and the Applicant is Tom Matthews. The property is located in SPIN Neighborhood #3. Fifteen (15) written responses sent to property owners within the 200 feet notification area, and the Staff has received three (3) in favor of the proposed plat. The plat proposes 6 residential lots. On June 27, 1995, the City Council approved a Preliminary Plat for Huse Homeplace subject to Plat Review Summary No. 3 dated June 16, 1995, adding: City Sanitary Sewer, split rail fence on both sides with gate at the Southern end, no street lights, private equestrian easement, easement maintenance by Huse Homeplace Homeowner's Association, and eleven (11) residential lots. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked the Staff for the adjacent zoning of the properties to the east and south. Planner Tom Elgin commented that they have "SF -1A" Single Family Residential District zoning. Commissioner Potter asked the Staff to clarify item #8 (According to the City Thoroughfare Plan a street connection across this tract from Harbor Oaks Court to Ridgecrest Drive is required having a minimum right -of -way width of 50'.) on the staff review letter. Planner Tom Elgin commented that each time this piece of property has been submitted for approval, this item has been discussed. Every time the consensus is to not require the connection. This item will be addressed in the Thoroughfare Plan Review. He added that it was to provide a secondary access for police and fire services and provide a second water line connection into the area north of Burney Lane. As proposed, the road extension has stated it crosses the Corp of Engineers property across a substantial REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 7 drainage basin. At one time, the property was considered to be a park site as shown on the Park Master Plan; however, the Park Board has stated it does not intend to develop a park at this location. Tom Matthews (H. Creek Development Co.), P.O. Box 92988, represented this item. Mr. Matthews stated the following comments: 1) the Topography Map shows the proposed road must cross a 20' bluff; 2) this is the third application on this property; a. The previous approved Preliminary Plat was not cost effective; therefore, H. Creek Development Co. terminated the contract and the property went back to its owner. 3) the plat is consistent with area neighborhood developments; a. The residential lots indicated are larger or equal in size to the surrounding neighborhoods lots. 4) this plan is extending the cul -de -sac from Harbor Oaks Court; 5) the cul -de -sac will be a "City standard road" and the lots will have frontage on the cul -de -sac; 6) a "15' wide private shared common access easement and driveway will be established for access to all the lots except for Lot 6 and possibly Lot 1; and a. This will minimize the loss of trees and provide access for fire and emergency equipment. 7) the access easement will be private and will not be gated. Commissioner Arnold asked Mr. Matthews if he had a chance to review the staff review letter. Mr. Matthews commented that he had reviewed the letter and his only concern was with item #8 which was addressed earlier by Planner Tom Elgin. Commissioner Murphy asked Mr. Matthews what type sewer system was proposed. Mr. Matthews commented that the sewer system will be self - contained units. He added that his soil engineer has done some preliminary testing and advised that a septic system would not be suitable. It will be an aerobic system which will provide cleaner effluent and it will be better for the environment. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Mr. Matthews if the equestrian easements have been eliminated. Mr. REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 8 Matthews commented that they have been eliminated; however, equestrian easements will not be deed restricted. Thus, the decision will be left upon by the individual homeowners for an easement. Commissioner Potter asked the Staff if the Trail System Master Plan shows an equestrian trail on this property. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the Trail System Master Plan does not have a connection through the property, and the Subdivision Ordinance does not have a provision requiring access specifically for equestrian uses. Commissioner Murphy stated that the previously approved Preliminary Plat did not include the easement, because it was considered private. Planner Tom Elgin stated that at the Trail System Master Plan Meetings that the residents of Harbor Oaks and Quail Creek requested the trail not to be included because it would be a public trail and could cause parking problems and other concerns. Chairman Wright opened the public hearing. No discussion from the audience. Chairman Wright closed the public hearing. No Commission discussion. Motion was made to approve ZA95 -114, Revised Preliminary Plat for Huse Homeplace, subject to the Plat Review Summary No. 1 dated December 1, 1995, as amended as follows: 1) deleting item #8 (street connection across this tract form Harbor Oaks Court to Ridgecrest Drive is required having minimum R.O.W. width of 50'). Motion: Johnson Second: Murphy Ayes: Wright, Johnson, Arnold, Murphy, Hobbs, Potter, and Schroetke Nays: none Approved: 7 -0 Motion carried. (Planning and Zoning Meeting, 12- 07 -95, tape 1, section #770 -1194) Chairman Wright stepped down on the next agenda item and Vice - Chairman Johnson chaired the meeting.

Ten (10) written notices were sent out to property owners within the 200 feet notification area, and the Staff has not received any written responses. The plat proposes 12 residential lots. This property was previously a portion of the approved Final Plat South Hollow, Phase I; however, the plat was never filed of record. Art Clayton, 3129 Lake Drive, Southlake, Texas 76092, represented this item. He stated the following: 1) a plat has been submitted to the Staff addressing all of the comments on the staff review letter except for item #10B (street stub into the east line of this Site) on the staff review letter which he requested to be deleted; 2) Lots 2, 3, 6, and 7 (along Carlisle Lane) will have a 15' building setback line, and 3) Lots 10 and 11 will have a 30' building setback line. Commissioner Murphy asked Mr. Clayton if he was addressing item #7 (Provide a 35' building setback line along the full extent of the west lines of Lots 11 and 12. Please note that Lot 12 must front East Continental Boulevard.) on the staff review letter. Mr. Clayton commented that the Staff s recommendation for the 30' building setback line on the west line of Lot 12 would be acceptable. Mr. Clayton requested Lot 11 to be excluded from item #7 on the staff review letter. Mr. Clayton stated that the first eleven lots will be platted and the twelfth lot will be owned and maintained by Mr. Brown. He added that the Final Plat will only have the first eleven lots platted. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Staff about street stub requirement. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the requirement is the 1000' provision in the Subdivision Ordinance. He added that a Revised Preliminary Plat for South Hollow has been submitted for the property to the east which does not incorporate a street stub to the west. Mr. Clayton stated that he would prefer not to have a street stub. He stated that a tree survey was completed and the findings show that the two cul -de -sacs save the existing trees; thus, any street stub will eliminate trees. He added that Lots 1 -6 in the cul -de -sac have already been spoken for. Vice - Chairman Johnson opened the public hearing. REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 10 Steve Gee (Vista Oaks Development), 1431 Greenway drive, Suite 770, LB #55, Irving, Texas 75038, stated he has the property to the east (Revised Preliminary Plat for South Hollow) and that he does not want a street stub.

Planner Tom Elgin commented that item #7 be stated to have 30' building setback line along the west side of Lot 12 and maintaining the 35' building setback line on the south side. Mr. Clayton commented that Lots 2, 3, 6, and 7 have a 15' side building setback line adjacent to the street. Planner Tom Elgin commented that these lots are back -to -back lots which are only required to have the 15' side setback line requirements. Commissioner Hobbs and Vice - Chairman Johnson, both commented their displeasure with the plat as submitted because of the numerous amount of open items. Motion was made to approve ZA95 -110, Preliminary Plat for Napa Valley Phase II, subject to the Plat Review Summary No. 1 dated December 1, 1995, as amended as follows: 1) modifying item #7 (35' building setback line along the west lines of Lots 11 and 12) to provide a 35' building setback line along the full extent of the west line of Lot 11 and allow a 30' building setback line along Carlisle Lane for Lot 12 2) deleting item #10B (street stub into the east line of this site).

Mr. Fluitt commented that he could readjust the lot lines so that they will be 20,000 square feet. Chairman Wright stated that the Preliminary Plat is not concerned with calculated lots areas, however, the Final Plat will have to address this issue. Commissioner Hobbs asked Staff if the 8 feet fence, as approved on the previous Concept Plan, was deed restricted or was it up to the developer to construct.

REZONING AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR COMMERCE SQUARE Planner Tom Elgin informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for the Rezoning and Concept Plan for Commerce Square, being 7.22 acre tract of land situated in the Thomas Easter Survey, Abstract No. 474, Tract 3A. The property is located South of F.M. 1709 (Southlake Boulevard) and immediately East of Crooked Lane. The current zoning is "AG" Agricultural District, and the requested zoning is "I -1" Light Industrial District. The Land Use Category is Mixed Use /65 Ldn Contour. The Corridor Designation is Retail /Commercial. The Owners are Steve and REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 16 Sue Pritchett, and the Applicant is Pima Properties, Inc. The property is located in SPIN Neighborhood #8. Ten (10) written notices were sent to property owners within the 200 feet notification area, and the Staff has received one (1) written response in favor of the proposed plan. The next agenda item is accompanied with this item. In an "I-1" Light Industrial District , only 15% of the floor area of the building can be utilized for retail uses, and the uses must be related to the principle uses of the structure. With an approved Specific Use Permit, the 15% could be exceeded in certain circumstances. The portion of the property that is proposed for warehouse storage is labeled "on -site caretaker" which will require an additional Specific use Permit. Commissioner Potter asked the Staff if industrial zoning was under the category of the Mixed Use in the Land Use Plan. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the Mixed Use category includes only residential and commercial districts. David McMahan (PIMA Properties), 5215 N O'Conner, Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75035, and John Levitt (J.E. Levitt Engineers, Inc.) 726 Commerce Street, Suite 104, Southlake, Texas 76092, represented this item. Vice - Chairman Johnson stated his concern with the requested "I -1" Industrial District in the Mixed Use /65 Ldn Contour. He recommended that a request for a "B -1" Business Service Park District would be more suitable for the intended use. He asked Mr. McMahan to elaborate on his request for the "I -1" Industrial District. Mr. McMahan commented that he wanted to use the exposure to F.M. 1709 (Southlake Boulevard) for a "showroom- type" office development which will have 1,200 -3,000 square feet, 15 -50% of office versus warehouse uses, and the back portion of the property will have mini - warehouse storage. Vice - Chairman Johnson commented that the Land Use Plan is used as a reference point in reviewing a case. Mr. McMahan commented that originally a different zoning request could have been made, however, the Corridor Overlay Zone requirements would then be applied for "frontage on a street ". Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Mr. McMahan if he would consider rezoning the back portion (furthest away from F.M. 1709) to "I -1" Industrial District and the front portion of the property to `B -1" Business Service Park District. Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan what permitted use of the development would not be categorized under the `B -1" Business Service Park District. Mr. McMahan commented that the outside storage in the back portion of the property would not be permitted in the "B -1" Business Service Park District. Commissioner Hobbs stated that the mini - warehouse use is under the "I -1" Industrial District. Planner Tom Elgin stated that a split zoning proposal could be difficult for this property due to the following: the size of the property is to small to be considered for a "Non -R P.U.D" Non - Residential Planned Unit Development in which the appropriate uses could be defined; and a "B -1" Business Service Park District does not adequately address the use for a office /warehouse and the property has to be approximately 5 acres. Mr. McMahan stated that the `B -1" Business Service Park District has some requirements that he might not be able to adhere too. Planner Tom Elgin stated that the "I -1" Industrial District does not allow outside storage unless a Specific Use Permit is granted. Mr. REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 17 McMahan commented that he did not have any problem with a "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan District to help control the uses. Commissioner Arnold asked Mr. McMahan if was stating that he would change his request to a "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan District. Mr. McMahan commented that he was. Commissioner Potter asked how far back the storage areas were. Commissioner Schroetke commented that it is 524 feet. Commissioner Potter stated that there should be a sufficient amount of bufferyard for the storage areas. Mr. McMahan pointed out that there are existing trees that would remain to help screen the areas. Mr. McMahan stated that Staff recommended the common access easement adjacent to Stacy's Furniture not to be used for access for the back portion of the property. Commissioner Schroetke stated that she believed that the common access easement was intended for a fire lane. Mr. Levitt stated that the common access easement is a platted common access easement. Mr. McMahan stated that he believed that the property did have a right to use that access. Commissioner Schroetke asked Staff the width of the common access easement. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the easement is a 25 feet concrete drive in compliance for Stacy's Furniture for secondary access for a fire lane. He stated that the platted common access easement is dedicated to the public and the public has the right to use that easement. Chairman Wright stated that the common access easement should no longer be an issue. Planner Tom Elgin stated that Mr. McMahan was referring to item #5C (Staff recommends that the main driveway accessing the rear site be through the front site.) on the staff review letter. Mr. McMahan requested for this item to be deleted for he did not want delivery -type vehicles to travel through the automobile -type areas and it would be beneficial in controlling security for the property. Commissioner Schroetke stated that she believed that the common access easement did not have an adequate distance of width to accommodate boats, motor homes, etc. that would be stored in the storage areas. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Staff to elaborate on the recommendation of item #5C on the staff review letter. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the concern was with the existing proximity of the driveways, one to the west immediately adjacent to Crooked Lane and one to the east being side -by -side with another driveway. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Staff what the fire department required. Planner Tom Elgin commented that Staff would prefer two accesses (one on the east and one on the west of the property). He stated that Stacy's Furniture Warehouse Building is adjacent to the common access easement. Vice - Chairman Johnson stated the concerns with the proximity of the existing driveways and the emergency access from the front of the property to the back of the property. Commissioner Potter asked Staff if the Driveway Ordinance comes into effect. Planner Tom Elgin commented that the ordinance does come into effect. The Driveway Ordinance states that if the property increases traffic circulation by 30% then the property is subject to review. Chairman Wright asked the distance between the existing west driveway and Crooked Lane. Planner Tom Elgin commented that it is approximately 100 feet. Chairman Wright recommended for the Applicant to redesign the existing driveway to the east with the access easement having an island. Mr. McMahan commented that there is existing tree they would like to REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 18 save, and that he would look into the recommendation. The Commission stated their concern with the safety hazard of the existing driveway to the west being immediately adjacent to Crooked Lane. Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan to comment on the matter. Mr. McMahan commented that he did agree that the driveway needed to be removed, however, he needed another access. Commissioner Arnold asked Mr. McMahan the type of fence that would be used. Mr. McMahan stated that a chain - linked fence would be used along the back portion adjacent to Mr. Smith's property, as along as Mr. Smith does not object. Planner Tom Elgin stated that the fence for Stacy's Furniture Warehouse which is west of the common access easement, could possibly be common for both properties with openings for access to the property. Vice - Chairman Johnson asked Mr. McMahan if he would like more time to look at all the concerns that were being addressed. Mr. McMahan stated that he would like to move forward with the case. Chairman Wright stated that the Commission might not have the ability to recommend a different zoning since it might need to be advertised differently. Planner Tom Elgin stated that they approved a different zoning request if it is less intense or more restrictive. Mr. McMahan stated that he would not mind tabling the case if he could talk about the Commission's concerns. Commissioner Hobbs stated that he was concerned with the following: the Driveway Ordinance, Crooked Lane entrance, fire lane access, the requested "I -1" Industrial District or split zoning, and the Corridor Overlay Zone. Vice - Chairman Johnson stated that when the uses have been decided for the property, to have the "I -1" Industrial District use be behind the fence and the other uses in front of the fence fronting F.M. 1709. Commissioner Potter stated he had a concern with the width of the common access easement. Commissioner Potter asked Mr. McMahan if he could relocate the parking that was proposed in front of the building that will front F.M. 1709. Mr. McMahan commented he could relocate some of the parking to the back of the building, but he would prefer not to. He stated that landscaping would be provided for the parking area. Chairman Wright stated that it might not be that beneficial. Mr. McMahan stated that the articulation meets the horizontal and vertical articulation requirements set forth by the ordinance. Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan if the proposed buildings in the back were for mini - warehouses. Mr. McMahan commented that they were and would also have outside storage. Chairman Wright recommended that a "SP -2" Generalized Site Plan should be looked at. Mr. McMahan requested to table this agenda item. Chairman Wright opened the public hearing. REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1995 PAGE 19 Ken Smith (resides west of property ) 2368 Crooked Lane, Southlake, Texas 76092. Mr. Smith asked what the required bufferyard is between an industrial /outside storage area and an agricultural /residential area. Chairman Wright referred him to visit City Hall and review the ordinance which specifies the bufferyard requirements for all zoning districts. Planner Tom Elgin stated that the bufferyard requirements are determined by the property's use or if the land is not platted then the Land Use requirements would be used. Mr. Smith asked the drainage plan for the property. Mr. Levitt commented that the "southern" portion of the property will drain out to F.M. 1709 and the remainder of the property drains down to the existing creek to the west. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Levitt if the property picked up the drainage from the industrial area from the west. Mr. Levitt commented that the industrial area to the west drains to the west. Chairman Wright asked Mr. McMahan if he would like to table and readvertise for a different requested zoning. Mr. McMahan requested to table to the next meeting and planned to talk with Staff about his requests.
