Additional Information on Consent Items The agreement with Tarrant County will allow staff the opportunity of two sources for purchase of various items and allow the City to take advantage of cost benefits associated with large volume purchases. The City is under no obligation to purchase anything through Tarrant County, but the agreement provides the mechanism to do so if the City so desires. The amount of this change order is $25,916.20 which is 7.0% of the current contract. Extension of the water line will allow for service to a new home being constructed, improved fire protection, and provide for water service to a previously annexed area. City staff recommenced the award of contract to Future Equipment Company to furnish a CASE 580 Super L backhoe loader with a 5-year/5000 hour full warranty for the low bid of $57,581.00. This Agreement represents an annual renewal between the City and the CJrapevine/Southlake Soccer Association. Both the soccer association and the Park and Recreation Board favor the agreement. The resolution allows the City Manager to adopt the plan documents necessary in establishing a 125 flexible benefits plan as approved by City Council on November 26, 1996. The resolution specifies $9.67 million in certificates of obligation for water, sewer, street and drainage improvements, land purchase for water tanks, equipment (including computers, tracks, vehicles, mowers, public safety and public works equipment), and improvements to existing municipal buildings. The resolution requires that the City publish a notice of intent to issue certificates of obligation on January 23 and January 30, 1997 in accordance with the requirements for a first reading of the ordinance on February 4, and a second reading on February 18. Mr. Corbin is a Certified EMT and Firefighter and is currently attending MetroCrest Medic School. He is employed with the City of Denton as a utility line technician. Staff feels that with Mr. Corbin's current certifications and knowledge of electrical utility construction, he has special skills that will enhance the City's fire service. The agreement is a standard Commercial Developer's Agreement. The Developer will construct the sanitary sewer line from this property to the comer of F.M. 1709 and Kimball Ave. with a request to return to the City Council at a later date to discuss a method of recouping expenses if future developers take advantage of this line. The Developer will also construct a 12" water line from the property to the comer of F.M. 1709 and Kimball Ave., according to City standard policies. The City will pay the difference in cost between a 12" and 8" line. City staffrequested clarification fi'om the City Council of its intent when it approved the Bob Jones Park Master Plan on November 19, 1996. City Council clarified that the Marylyn City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 5 Miles' property was never a part of the Bob Jones Master Plan and removal of the road was in reference to the road farther north on Marilyn Tucker's property not the south road. Agenda Item #5B. Variance to the Subdivision Ordinance No. 483-E. Section 4.01(D2 (Plat Expiration) extendine the validity of Case ZA 95-120. Final Plat of Meadow Ridee City Council instructed removal of this item f~om thc Consent Agenda in order to discuss this project with the applicant. Director of Community Development G-reg Last informed the Council that the applicant Briscoe- Clark requested a six-month extension to finish work on the engineering plans and the developer's agreement. Mr. Last explained that the subdivision ordinance requires that a final plat be filed with the County within one year of approval. P&Z approved the Final Plat for this subdivision on January 18, 1996. Mayor Stacy commented that he had concerns with such a densely platted subdivision in an area that is not as dense. Mayor Stacy feels S. Kimball Avenue is not adequate to handle the traffic that would be generated from this subdivision. He would like to recommend that this item be tabled to give the present Council an opportunity to review the plat closer and visit with the surrounding home owners. Councilmembers agreed. Jim Brisco, 8300 Douglas Ave., Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75225. Mr. Brisco stated he had numerous meetings with the surrounding neighbors. He wants to pursue the project as approved in the Final Plat which is exactly the same as it was when approved as a Preliminary Plat. He further commented that the plat complies with the zoning and out of courtesy would ask that the extension be granted. Councilmember Harris stated that Council was not talking about denying the zoning but to table the request for extension in order to give this Council an oppommity to acquire information that they cannot get tonight. Mayor Stacy asked Mr. Briscoe to identify some of the citizens who favored the plat for the record. He again expressed his concern with the density and would like the opportunity to visit with the citizens in the neighboring subdivision. Mr. Briscoe named Darrell Faglie, Pattie Minder and her next door neighbors. He commented that he would rather see the item tabled then to have the Council vote on the extension tonight. Motion was made to table the request for variance to Subdivision Ordinance No. 483-E extending the validity of Case ZA 95-120, Final Plat for Meadow Ridge Estates to February 28, 1997. Motion: Harris Second: Moffat Ayes: Evans, Fawks, Harris, Moffat, Muller, Stacy Nays: None Approved: 6-0 City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 6 A_~enda Item No. 6. Public Forum. David McMahan, 1335 Hidden Glen. Stated that on a lighter note, he would like to know if this Council would honor tickets for a banquet he purchased three years ago. Jim Goggin, 1706 Wild Rose Way, thanked the City Council and staff for the good work this past year. He felt Council had done basically a fine job and should be commended. He thanked the Council for their support of the Meals on Wheels program for seniors, and asked that Council take a good look at considering an assisted living facility. He understands that the first request for such a facility may not have been the right location, but he expressed that there is a need for one now. Mr. Goggin also suggested that Council try to develop a better rapport with developers; he feels they should not be harassed in a public meeting. He also asked that the City be more active in enforcing litter violations. Mr. Goggin closed by saying he did not think you could f'md a more helpful group of people then those found within all the departments of the City Mayor Stacy thanked Mr. Goggin and agreed that an assisted living facility was a good idea in the right location. There were no other comments during the Public Forum. Agenda Item No. 7A. 2nd Reading. Ordinance No. 480-219. ZA 96-124.

Current zoning is "AG" Agricultural District, with a requested zoning of "S-P-2' Generalized Site Plan District with "O-1' Office District uses. Applicant: M&M Group, Inc. Owner: CFNVESTS Southlake JV. SPIN Neighborhood #10. Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy was available to answer questions of the Council. David McMahan, representative for the applicant, stated he had nothing to add since the last reading of the ordinance and would be happy to answer any questions of the Council. Public Hearing: Kay Monts, manager of Ebby Halliday, commented on how proud they were to be in this City--its a good city. There were no other comments during the Public Hearing. Motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 480-219, ZA 96-124, subject to staff review letter #3 as approved on first reading at the last City Council meeting. Motion: Fawks Second: Evans Mayor Stacy read the caption of Ordinance No. 480-219.

Ordinance No. 668. 2nd Reading. street name chan e from Ravenaux Drive to Countryside Court. SPIN Neighborhood #11. Comprehensive Planner II Tom Elgin stated this is the 2nd reading of Ordinance No. 668 changing the street name for a portion of Ravenaux Drive to Countryside Court. Staff made one minor change since 1st reading which was to correct South White Chapel to North White Chapel. Mr. Elgin asked that the Council also address the applicant's request to waive the processing fee. There were no comments during the Public Hearing. Motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 668 changing a portion of Ravenaux Drive to Countryside Court and waive the applicant's fee since they are a charitable organization. Motion: Harris Second: Muller Mayor Stacy read the caption of Ordinance No. 668. Ayes: Evans, Fawks, Harris, Moffat, Muller, Stacy Nays: None Approved: 6-0 Agenda Item No. 7C. Public Hearing: Authorization for staff to submit the 1997 ¢23rd Yearl Tarrant County Community_ Development Block Grant (CDBG} involving drainage improvements for the Sutton Place Addition. Comprehensive Planner II Tom Elgin commented that staff was recommending construction of drainage facilities and associated improvements for Sutton Place Addition through the 23rd Year CDBG program. Estimated project cost is $115,000 with typical funding through CDBG up to $130,000 that would mean it would not be necessary for matching funds from the City. Staff held a meeting with residents of the Sutton Place Addition to explain the project to them. Mayor Stacy added this will give the City a tool to provide improvements to an area annexed several years ago. There were no comments during the Public Hearing. Motion was made to authorize staff to submit the 1997--23rd Year Tarrant County Community Development Block Grant application for improvements for the Sutton Place Addition. Motion: Harris Second: Muller Ayes: Evans, Fawks, Harris, Moffat, Muller, Stacy Nays: none Approved: 6-0 City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 8 Agenda Item No. 7E. ZA 96-157. Site Plan of Timarron Neighborhood Center Number 2 being Lot 30, Block 28 of the approved Final Plat of Village F, and being approximately 3.471 acres situated in the O.W. Knight Survey, Abstract No. 899, and being a portion of Tract 2C1A. Location: Northwest corner of the intersection of Byron Nelson Parkway and the proposed Inwood Drive. Currem zoning is "R-P.U.D. No. 1" Residential Planned Unit Development. Owner and Applicant: Timarron Land Corporation. SPIN Neighborhood #10. Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy presented ZA 96-157 and explained that this is an amenity center for properties on the north side of E. Continental. Staff sent ten notices to property owners within 200' and received one response from Michael Hodge at 402 Jackson Square. Mr. Hodge sited concerns with location of the recreation center, loss of privacy, noise, traffic, and lighting. P&Z Commission recommended approval subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 1 dated December 13; amending Item #4C (provide all required bufferyards) to redistribute the required plantings on the site; deleting Item #7 (regarding required parking) to accept 46 spaces as shown; amending Item #9 (location, type, and height of all walls, fences, and screening devices, an 8' screen required adjacent to residential properties) to provide 4"-6" caliper native cedars by the parking lot along the southwest comer. Additionally, the P&Z recommended to: relocate the multi-purpose court to where the playground is, and move the playground west of the pavilion; relocate tennis courts to east; relocate the trail to east of trees along the west. Community Development Director Greg Last informed the Council that the applicant has requested credits for existing trees. City Ordinance allows for credits, for example, two accent trees for every tree saved over 12" caliber; this should not be a variance request. Staff would recommend that all plants that are required be required, and they be allowed to use the credits for existing trees as provided in the ordinance. David Rhodes, Carter and Burgess, was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Rhodes commented that they intended to adhere to standards as set forth in the P&Z recommendation. Mr. Rhodes explained that the tennis courts are lit and are on a timer set to shut off at 11:00 p.m. They have met with some homeowners and have tried to address their concerns, but they have not met with Mr. Hedge. Mr. Rhodes commented that there would only be a couple of times a year where they would need "spill" over parking for tennis meets. Councilmember Harris suggested that the trail (at the back northwest comer) meander downward a little to allow for a larger bufferyard in that area. Harris commented that he would rather have Timarron handle parking for large tennis meets by allowing parking elsewhere and shuttling participants to the meet site. Mayor Stacy questioned, as part of a compromise, why they could not extend usage of the facility to the surrounding subdivisions--he hates to see communities separated in this manner. Councilmember Fawks asked whether providing accent trees as required would be possible (crepe myrtles) instead of relocating as they are, the row of shrubs on the north bufferyard. Rhodes commented that it would not be a problem. City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 9 Public Hearing: Diane Kruse stated she was the property owner to the west and probably the most impacted by this project. Ms. Kruse expressed appreciation for the P&Z Commission. She had major concerns which they addressed and recommended for change at the P&Z Commission meeting. Ms. Kruse commented that she was happy with the plan and she was aware Timarron was planning this facility when she bought her home in 1994. One concern she still has is that the lay of the land makes this recreation center higher than her property and she would like to be able to build a higher fence then her current 6' fence. Mayor Stacy explained that this would probably be up to her homeowners deed restrictions--but they should consider wavering in this special situation. There were no other comments during the Public Forum. David Rhodes stated that the post oaks would not be lit. Motion was made to approve ZA 96-157 subject to staff review letter g2 dated January 19, 1997, including that the south bufferyard will be provided in its entirety as required, west bufferyard shrubs may be relocated, north bufferyard shrubs may be relocated, and east bufferyard will provide shrubs and trees in proximity but not necessarily in the 10' width, further modify the bufferyard as shown on the west and northwest corner to a 25' bufferyard including that the trail [in this area] is now south of this bufferyard, allow parking as shown including the requirement for the removable barrier to prevent parking in the rear, approving the location of the buildings as submitted tonight on this plan, providing 4"-6" caliber native cedars to the parking lot along the southwest corner, deleting the fence, and allow staff the ability to determine location of the irrigation system to save the oaks. Motion: Harris Second: Fawks Ayes: Evans, Fawks, Harris, Moffat, Muller Nays: Stacy Approved: 5-1 P,?~nda Item No. 8A. Ordinance No. 480-225. 1st Reading trZA 96-150} Rezoning and Site Plan for the Children's Courty_ ard. on property described as approximately 3.207 acres situated in the R.J. Paden Survey, Abstract No. 1255, and being Tracts lA and 1Al. Location: South side of Souttflake Blvd. (F.M. 1709) and approximately 200' west of the intersection of Waterford Drive and Southlake Blvd. (F.M. 1709). Current zoning is "AG" Agricultural District, with a requested zoning of "S-P-I" Detailed Site Plan District with varied "C-2" Local Retail Commercial District uses. Applicant: Realtex Ventures, Inc. Owners: Lila M. Pinson (Tract lA) and Lloyd Martinson (Tract 1AD. SPIN Neighborhood #13. Mayor Stacy informed the applicant that since this item was denied by P&Z approval tonight would require a favorable vote of 6 of the Council, and since one Councilmember is absent the applicant may wish to table until there is a full Council present. City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 10 The applicant stated that they are ready to go forth tonight with the request. Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy presented the 1st reading of Ordinance No. 480-225 and was available to answer questions of the Council. Ms. Gandy commented that staff sent thirteen notices and received six responses opposing the request. Ms. Gandy verified for Councilmember Harris that to her knowledge no changes have been made since denial by P&Z. Carl Greer with Realtex Ventures, Inc., 2201 N. Collins, Arlington, Texas, was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Greer commented that discussions at P&Z centered on the appropriate land use for the sight. He feels that this type of day care facility is a good transition from F.M. 1709 to the high school and the residential area. Mr. Greer added that they met with the SPIN group and came out of that meeting with additional suggestions for more landscaping which they have included. Bob Couch, 2535 Union Church, was present on behalf of the property owners who are trying to sell the property. He commented that it appeared the P&Z does not want anything to go there. They have denied this request and the previous request for a dental office. He asked that the Council approve because this is a good transition to the neighborhood and an appropriate use for the property. There were no other comments from the audience. Councilmember Moffat commented that many citizens feel this use is too intense, and feels he needs to consider their concerns. Mayor Stacy commented that he believed some type of office or residential use would be more appropriate at this location. Councilmembers agreed that a less intense use would be more appropriate--something that would generate less noise, traffic and also encompass both tracts. Motion was made to deny Ordinance No. 480-225. Motion: Harris Second: Muller Mayor Stacy read the caption of the ordinance Ayes: Evans, Fawks, Harris, Moffat, Muller, Stacy Nays: none Approved to Deny: 6-0 Agenda Item No. 8B. Ordinance No. 480-211. 1st Reading CZA 96-90]. Rezoning and Concept Plan for Shady Oaks Centre (formerly presented as Southlake Professional Plaza~, being approximately 2.95 acres situated in the Hiram Grandberry Survey, Abstract No. 581, Tract 2C, as recorded in Volume 8374, Page 2186, Deed Records, Tarrant County, Texas. Locations: City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 11 West Southlake Blvd., south of the intersection of Shady Oaks Drive and West Southlake Blvd., (F.M. 1709). Current zoning is "AG" Agricultural District. Requested zoning is "O-1" Office District. Owner: Marvin C. Kennedy. Applicant: Larry D. Flynn. SPIN Neighborhood #14. Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy presented ZA 96-90. Ms. Gandy stated that the land use category for this area is Medium Density Residential which may include limited low intensity office and/or retail uses. Staff sent twenty-one notices to property owners within 200' and received fourteen opposing responses. Ms. Gandy stated that seven of those opposing the request have now withdrawn their opposition which makes it less than 20% land area in opposition, therefore, no supermajority vote is required for approval. Ms. Gandy stated that the applicant and homeowners met on several occasions and worked out an agreement that is amenable to all parties. As a result of this agreement, the P&Z Commission at their December 5 meeting did recommend approval subject to the impacted homeowners document dated November 21 which was submitted with and attached to Ordinance No. 480-211. Councilmember Moffat questioned whether the 788 citizens that signed the original petition have withdrawn their opposition; he understands they are not within the 200' rule, but he has concerns with their opposition still out there. Larry Flynn, applicant, was present to answer questions of the Council and to introduce Dan Deichert who is his developer and partner. Dan Deichert, 8150 N. Central Expressway, Dallas, Texas. Mr. Deichert commented that they are proposing over 1-1/2 acres of open space and their two buildings will be similar to the existing dental office. Mr. Deichert commented that they had preliminary discussions with Dr. Huckabee, but up to this point, Dr. Huckabee has been noncommittal about moving his driveway entrance to line up with the traffic light. Community Development Director Greg Last clarified to the Council that through the negotiations on this project, there was a very long list of negotiated issues between the developer and the adjacent homeowners. Staff and legal counsel had concerns with including some of those requirements in the SP2 zoning, therefore, staff asked them to differentiate those that we could include in the site plan regulations from those that were more of a contractual nature between the developer and the homeowners. Staff felt that several issues were beyond the City's ability to control or monitor, i.e., fence construction. The City is not a part of the side contracts. Mike Conrad, 108 Springbrook Court. Mr. Conrad informed the Council that he was the homeowner who carried the petition around originally. He feels that now with all the changes that have made at least 95 % of the citizens would withdraw their opposition. Those of us most impacted by this development (the adjacent property owners) agree on this use. Community Development Director Greg Last clarified with Mr. Deichert that the parking lot will be no closer than 70' and that the interior design uses will stay. City Council Meeting, January 21, 1997 Minutes Page 12 Motion was made to approved ZA 96-90 subject to staff's concept plan review summary #3 dated December 13, 1996, incorporating exhibit "B' and have the applicant agree to work with the City in the possibility of moving the driveway to line up with Shady Oaks especially if the intersection is to be signalized.

Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy presented Ordinance No. 480-W. Ms. Gandy stated the ordinance addresses two issues: (1) a change in the definition of a kennel made necessary by the recently adopted revisions to the Animal Control Ordinance No. 530A and (2) a new approval process for telecommunication towers, .antennas, and ancillary structures (e.g., equipment cabinets). Ms. Gandy informed the Council that Mr. Peter Kavanagh and Mr. William Cothrum, who are associated with the telecommunications industry, were presem tonight and would like to address this ordinance. Councilmember Harris stated he had reviewed the ordinance and had a couple of comments. He suggested that Council approve the ordinance on 1st reading and allow him to arrange to meet with Ms. Gandy, the City attorney, Mr. Kavanagh and Mr. Cothrum to work out the final details before 2nd reading. Motion was made to approve 1st reading of Ordinance No. 480-W. Motion: Harris Second: Muller Mayor Stacy read the caption of Ordinance No. 480-W.

The amendment reflects a reduction in the maximum residential density from 2.18 du/acre to 1.80 alu/acre per gross acre. The amendment also provides that nonresidential acreage ancillary to the residential P.U.D. be subtracted from the gross acreage of the residential P.U.D. request before calculating the density for the development.

The NCTCOG is encouraging all jurisdictions throughout the region to adopt the 1996 National Electrical Code in order to have more uniformity in the region. Staff is recommending one local amendment to the code concerning conductor material (page 6 Exhibit "B') that requires all wiring for electrical systems to be copper with one exception: Conductors 1/0 or larger may be used when specified.

Pavement markings on F.M. 1709 at Westwood Dr. City Engineer Ron Harper commented that he had been meeting with the state about the potentially hazardous mm lane on F.M. 1709 from Westwood Drive to Village Center Drive. The state has looked at the area and agrees there is a problem. The state submitted a striping plan they feel may alleviate the problem. If we choose to make these changes, it will be at the City's expense. Mr. Harper informed the Council that with this striping only a right in and right out would be allowed at the "Home Depot" drive west of the Village Center Drive. Councilmember Muller commented she was never aware that Council approved full access at this drive during any of the discussions on this project. She would like staff to research the files on this issue. Council discussed the concerns with safety and the need for traffic counts and studies. Mr. Harper suggested that staff contact the traffic engineer and see what he could do to develop some traffic counts at this location and make a recommendation. City Manager Curtis Hawk suggested that we wait until the Home Depot opens so that we will have a better feel of what the traffic impact will be and what we will need to do to address it. Councilmember Muller requested that in the meantime we could paint and identify the mm lanes a little clearer as suggested here, but maybe without reflectors--provide a break in the continuous center lane line and paint a left turn lane as shown at the 80'.
