Assistant to the City Manager John Eaglen presented this item to Council during the work
session. This year has been a challenging one for the SPIN standing committee. At the
end of 2002, upon expiration of terms, several long -time SPIN representatives did not
seek another term and were not able to recruit replacements. This, combined with several
resignations, resulted in over half of the slots being vacant. This resolution appoints six
representatives. All of these appointees have either been serving as the SPIN
representative, or have been active with the standing committee. Council agreed to
appoint the following people and thanked them for their service: SPIN Area #8 — Pattie
Minder (term expires December 2004); SPIN Area #9w — Jim Jeppe (term expires
December 2003); SPIN Area #10 — Sam Timothy (term expires December 2004); SPIN
Area #12 — Wendi Carlucci (term expires December 2004); SPIN Area #13 — Mike Terry
(term expires December 2003); and SPIN Senior Representative — David Baltimore (term
expires December 2004).

Council. This property is located at 205 East Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709). The current
zoning is AG. The requested zoning is S -P -2, with 0-1 office district uses and regulations. The
purpose of this request is to receive approval of the zoning and a concept plan for the

Commission (P &Z) proposed nine office buildings, a building floor area range of 3,500 SF to
11,800 SF and a total floor area of 55,100 SF. P &Z had concerns about the density of the project,
the on -site parking deficiency, the distance of the parking spaces to the buildings, and the lack of
walkways. P &Z recommended denial on June 5, 2003. The property owner to the east is also in
opposition to this request. This opposition accounts for approximately 26% of the surrounding
property area within 200 feet of the site. Due to the recommendation for denial by the Planning

presented this item to the Council. The purpose of this request is to receive approval of a
specific use permit to allow for the sale of used automobiles and SUVs. The current zoning is I-
1 Light Industrial District. Although listed in the advertising and agenda, the applicant will not
be providing automobile service or sale of motorhomes. These items are listed only because
they are grouped together in the specific use permit section of the zoning ordinance. There are
existing structures on the site. The applicant does not plan to make any changes to this site. No
storage or display of vehicles will occur outside the building. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval stipulating that there will be no outside storage; no more
than 10 vehicles in the warehouse at one time; no service of any type; no motorhomes; no truck
deliveries — all vehicles delivered are to be driven to the site, and stipulating that the permit will
be valid for the term of the lease.

Agenda Item 7F. ZA03 -061, Revised Site Plan for Bob Jones Park. Senior Planner Dennis
Killough presented this item to the Council. The purpose of this request is to permit construction
of improvements proposed for the existing softball and soccer game fields to include batting
cages, a concession/restroom facility, a shade pavilion, bleacher shade structures, shade canopies
and lighting for the softball fields. The following improvements are being presented for
approval: concession stand/restroom facility; shade structures; batting cages; perimeter fencing
of the fields and scoreboards; and softball field lighting. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval subject to review, allowing requested variances and stipulating that lights
be turned off at 10:30 p.m. on weekdays and 11:30 p.m. on weekends.
Director of Community Services Malcolm Jackson answered Council's questions regarding this
request.
Mayor Wambsganss opened the public hearing.
John Richardson, 4637 Homestead, Southlake, spoke in opposition to this request. He is opposed
to the lighted soccer fields being placed right by the homes and the parking lots being placed
further away. He would like a passive park area and said the city is losing its opportunity to have
a passive park. He said there seems to be several discrepancies in the information that is given to
the area residents. He asked Council to table this tonight and give the neighbors time to work out
a compromise with staff.
Bob Rice, 455 Brooks Court, Southlake, spoke in opposition to this request. He said this park has
evolved into something unlike anything the neighbors were told about. The original plan did not
have lighted soccer fields, scoreboards, and signs. He asked Council to postpone action on this
request.
The following people completed a Public Comment card in opposition but did not wish to speak:
John Doty, 4322 Homestead Drive, Southlake;
Beatriz Terrazas, 4322 Homestead Drive, Southlake; and,
Noreen Richardson, 4537 Homestead Drive, Southlake.
Matt Tuggey, 1361 Cross Timber Drive, Southlake, spoke in favor of this request. He said that
none of these lights are in anyone's backyard; they are 3 /4 of a mile away from the homes. Batting
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 2, 2003, PAGE 9 OF 13
cages and lights have always been part of the plan. He said if this item is tabled tonight, the kids
won't be able to play in the spring. He said the softball and baseball associations cannot operate
without lights.
Mayor Wambsganss closed the public hearing.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Potter said he supports the lighting of the girl's fields only; he does not
support lighting the two adult fields. He said the city keeps creeping in with more and more
changes to this park. He also said the city has to address the increased traffic at North White
Chapel Boulevard and Dove Road. He said he would like the Master Plan to slow down; it is
changing too rapidly.
Councilmember Standerfer said people need to understand that the city needs to develop parks as
necessary in order to support the demands of the residents. He said adjacent residents should not
be told that they will never have one thing or another because as the city grows, so will the parks.
Mayor Pro Tem Evans said the park needs to have lights. He said the passive areas need to stay
in the back with the majority of activity staying along North White Chapel Boulevard.
Senior Parks Planner Chris Carpenter answered Council's questions regarding field lighting and
distances of the fields to the homes.
Motion was made to approve ZA03 -061 subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 1, dated
August 15, 2003, granting the requested variances and subject to moving the two western batting
cages east of the two eastern batting cages.
