He noted he feels building the school in that location will impact the quality of life and impact the value of his property and is opposed. Councilmember David Harris asked the City Attorney to repeat the comments made during the last City Council meeting regarding the ground rules and state what Council can do and cannot do. E. Allen Taylor Jr., City Attorney, stated as a general rule, municipalities control land use within the City, however, the School District has separate independent authority which has been granted by the State Statutes. Basically, the School District has the predominate authority to determine where its school facilities am going to be located. In that regard, any controls that municipalities have over land use will be pm-emptied by the power of the School District. Councilmember David Harris stated, in other words, if the municipality does not like what the School District is doing, the District's opinion is superior over that of the municipality. The City Attorney stated, our ordinances would be invalid as they apply to the school district. The municipality has the control over the actual development of the school site. As the school district has determined what needs am necessary, they prepared a site plan and the City can control the actual development of the site. The use determination will fall entirely on the school district. Councilmember Scott Martin stated the City Council has had discussions with the School District about traffic matters which is why we have had the conflict with them about an internal road connecting the two school sites and moving some of the traffic and bus traffic and parents and multi drop-offs. The City is aware of the traffic burden on North White Chapel Boulevard. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIL 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 7 Mr. Burke thanked the City Council for their time, since the City Council cannot address their concerns. Councilmember Harris asked the citizens to be a good parmer with the school board because they want to be good neighbors. Public Hearing closed.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIL 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 8 Councilmember David Harris referenced the high school being across F.M. 1709 and the potential traffic congestion. Councilmeber Scott Martin commented about the moratorium for service stations and the looks of the building being presented, stating we want better looking buildings in this community. We hope that they will set a standard that is high enough and when the moratorium is lifted, they will have set the standard. He stated the Planning and Zoning Commission was so concerned about the safety issues involved with this site, that they did not even address the aesthetics of the building. He stated he is looking at something he does not want to see everyday. He stated he would appreciate it if Mr. Blood would go back to his client and tell him Southlake wants something better, like the one in Trophy Club. He also commented on the request for signs on this site. Mr. Barry Knight stated he is the attorney for the project, not the property owners. He stated the owners want to work with the City of Southlake, but it is a two~way street. He stated a lot of the things are based on economics and volume. He has worked in Trophy Club, and he feels they also have strict development regulations. Councilmember Harris asked the attorney to talk with his client about the importance of the car wash being in the back of the property because there is a concern that we need two left hand turns and we don't want traffic jams. We already have a problem there at that intersection with traffic congestion. He asked how hard will it be to move the car wash. PUBLIC HEARING: Greg York, 904 Brazos, Southlake. Mr. York stated there are two concerns with the gas station being in that intersection, traffic and safety issues on F.M. 1709. He too is disappointed that the building is not as nice as the Trophy Club building. His concerns include the noise, lights, car wash and he ditto's Scott Martin's comments. Council adjourned for recess at 8:30 p.m. Council returned to open session at 8:40 p.m. Barry Knight stated his client wants to be a good neighbor, they don't want an eye sore but want the building to be nice. He stated they feel the citizens won't use the facility if it doesn't have a car wash. He asked if the City knows when the State will need the additional right-of-way. Even if there is a future fight-of-way requirement, we don't know what right-of-way will be taken. Mr. Knight stated they are ready to go with the building and they hope that Council will understand the spirit of cooperation. They want to work with the City and they want a successful development. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIL 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 9 Councilmember Scott Martin stated he appreciates the spirit of cooperation. Mayor Stacy stated it is obvious the developers are also concerned with the aesthetics of the project. When we come out of the moratorium, we would like to say this is what the City wants. Mayor Stacy asked the developers if the additional right-of-way is a problem. Curtis Hawk, City Manager, stated the City has contacted traffic consultants and asked them to bring back a proposal. The City is currently working on a F.M. 1709 Traffic Management Study. Hawk stated we recognize that F.M. 1709 will be six driving lanes and we need more turn lanes and shoulders. It seems to be a solution to have two left hand turn lanes onto Peytonville Avenue to handle the traffic. The City feels it is not far down the road, within the next twelve months. A deceleration lane between the bank and the driveway into the gas station is a possibility. Mayor Stacy stated we will need the additional right-of-way on the north side of F.M. 1709 in order to make this project fit. Barry Knight stated they have a platted lot and am ready to go, if the City wants to acquire property it is better to do it sooner than later. The user of the property does not have deed to the property. The client does not want a site where it won't be good for the overall area. He stated he feels the interest of the City and the property owners are similar. At the request of the applicant, motion was made to table this item until the May 6, 1997 City Council meeting. Motion: Martin Second: Harris Ayes: Martin, Harris, Evans, Fawks, Muller, Moffat, Stacy Nays: None Approved: 7-0 vote (to table). Mr. Knight stated he will meet with staff prior to the next City Council meeting in an effort to work out some the items noted tonight. Agenda Item #8-A.

Jerry Black, 1302 West Southlake Boulevard, Southlake. Mr. Black stated he has been a resident in Southlake at that location for twenty-five years.

The only reason that he has acted like he is in favor of some type low-intensity office. Is because of what is next to it. I don't think any of us who live here would want to live next to where Mr. Black lives because of the pond and tennis courts. He stawxl he commented at the last meeting that if anyone is opposed to this intended use, they should just buy it and expand their facilities. Mr. Ponder told him the other day that part of their plan is for them to form together and plan to pumhase the property. Part of his plan was to put garden homes on 8,000 sq.ft, lots. Mayor Stacy stated he does not feel that garden homes would be approved on this site either. The Mayor stated he does not feel the City looses control of the 3 1/2 acres next to the Black's property if this property is developed as presented. The REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIL 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 13 Mayor stated this proposed building is going to be one of the most attractive buildings we have seen in Southlake. Councilmember Wayne Moffat stated he cannot divorce the fact that Mr. Black has been a good citizen for the past twenty-five (25) years. Councilmember Scott Martin stated he attempts to set very high standards for our community. When an applicant comes forward and is willing to put his money where his mouth is, that says something.

Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, commented that nothing has changed on the plan since the joint work sessions with City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission were held, the last being March 31, 1997. Dennis Jerkey, Carter & Burgess, Fort Worth. Mr. Jerkey stated if Kirkwood Boulevard is extended, they want to expand the east line of Parcel A by 300 feet. He stated they would comply with whatever ordinances are in place at the time of their development. Allen Taylor, City Attorney, reminded Council and the audience that you never acquire a vested right in zoning. It's there when City Council gives it and is there until the City Council takes it away. PUBLIC COMMENTS: A1 Suarez, Chairman Elect of the Southlake Chamber of Commerce, presented a Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Resolution supporting the proposed Westerm Timarron Commercial Multi-Use Development. A copy of the resolution is hereby attached to the minutes of the meeting. Debbie Guthery, 1230 Stanhope Court, Southlake. Ms. Guthery stated all through the process at the Planning and Zoning Commission level, they went through the Specific Use Permits. She wondered if the special SUP will be used in this item. Councilmember Gary Fawks replied, "none of the SUP's have gone away." REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIL 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 15 Ms. Guthery asked if the SUP's are still in place, how will the 200' notification be used? Will the residents 200' from the SUP be notified or will the notification be from the outside of the Timarron property? Allen Taylor, City Attorney, noted the notification will be based on the "bubble' only as per the State Law. This requirement can be changed by the City Council only because of the increased cost and staff time in making the notifications. If the SUP is sought within this property, notice shall be for those within 200' of the outside of the Timarron property. Councilmember Harris suggested public schools and public nursing and care facilities be deleted from the "CS" Community Service uses. Mayor Stacy stated he feels and Specific Use Permit must be made by rational and logic and not by emotion. Councilmember Gary Fawks asked for more open space on this tract of land. Mr. Jerkey replied, the size of the tract does not lend itself to open space. Councilmember Scott Martin stated he agrees with Mr. Fawks and wants a guarantee of some open space on this property. Motion was made to approve ZA 96-130, subject to staff Concept Plan Review Summary No. 2 dated April 11, 1997 with additional provisions that in all categories with reference to public schools be deleted; all categories referenced to nursing and care facilities be deleted as uses anywhere on these properties; additionally requiring that the corridor overlay requirement be adopted as a minimum standard on the property, allowing the applicant the leeway to impose more stringent standards; further extending a potential area of uses as designated on Tract A into a part of Tract B defined by 300 feet east of Kirkwood; and also adopting the developmental regulations that are missing from the packet submission as submitted to Council accompanied together with the staff memorandum dated March 27, 1997 of the joint work session with the Planning and Zoning Commission so all development regulations included with that packet will be equatable to this motion also, whether included in the packet or not. Amending the motion to require the applicant to comply with the future developmental regulations as passed. Motion: Harris Second: Evans Mayor Stacy read the caption of the ordinance. Ayes: Harris, Evans, Martin, Fawks, Muller, Moffat, Stacy Nays: None Approved: 7-0 vote Agenda Item No. 10-B. Village Center. Phases I and IL amendine Site Plan REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIl, 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 16 The request was made by Village Center, Phases I and II to amend Site Plan for the western two driveways onto East Southlake Boulevard; to authorize an additional sign and grant two variances to the Sign Ordinance No. 506-A; and to approve additional landscaping along SH 114. Curtis Hawk, City Manager, stated in his memorandum to Council that this item reflects the work of City staff and Don Silverman to resolve issues of driveways for this project, related signage, and landscaping behind Kroger. The driveway recommendation before Council attempts to improve the safety of drivers on F.M. 1709 by restricting access to the driveway across from Westwood Drive and improving the access to the driveway located across from Miron Drive. The sign variances requested emanate from the need to direct traffic to the appropriate drives, and to improve the aesthetics of the signage for this project by adding "ornamentation." Councilmember Pamela Muller stated before beginning discussion of this item, reference was made that the Council approved the proposed driveways as part of a Site Plan. She asked staff if they have been able to find that Site Plan where the driveways were approved? Greg Last, Director of Community Development stated the issue of the driveways was not specifically discussed when it was before Council. Councilmember Muller stated she recalls when the issue came before Council the last time, lots 1 and 2 were not discussed. City Attorney, Allen Taylor, commented that a number of people, both at the developer level, staff level and possibly Council level thought is was approved, but it didn't happen. He explained it was a series of misunderstandings about what happens when the focus was on the relocation of the traffic light and the main intersection. Greg Last, Director of Community Development stated there is one issue that we will need to resolve, as difficult as it may be, is the validity of those two driveways. If we are going to take Councilmember Muller's position, that those drives have never been addressed, although they have been in construction for six months, we need to now say, collectively, that those drives have not been approved and we're not going to allow them to build either of those drives that they are in the process of building until they are officially approved by the City Council. A discussion was held as to whether or not this action would need approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission before Council approves. City Attorney, Allen Taylor, stated, "I think at this point, you have the plenary power as the legislative body of the Council, where you have uncovered a clear misunderstanding where the developer has gone forward with a misunderstanding of what he was authorized to do, the City staff, wittingly or unwittingly, got involved in the misunderstanding and wasn't sure what was REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE APRIL 15, 1997 MEETING PAGE 17 approved. The thing is now, essentially constructed. They need to be told whether they can use it or not. I think the Council has the authority to break the impasse or give direction at this point. I do think that if you want to leave those drives open and place restrictions on how they are used, we should follow through the correct procedure and when those lots come forward, which I understand they are doing now, officially address it on the record. But, I do think Council has the authority if they want to avail themselves of it to say, right now we are going to go ahead and authorize that the driveways be opened and used, at least until Council gets through the hearing in this way. Motion was made to approve the western two driveways onto East Southlake Boulevard as presented tonight with the most westem driveway (3 lanes) as full access and the central driveway (2 lanes) as right-in, right-out only. Motion: Moffat Second: Evans Ayes: Moffat, Evans, Fawks, Muller, Martin, Harris, Stacy Nays: None Approved: 7-0 vote It was determined that the sign issue will be placed on the next agenda for approval. Councilmember David Harris left the meeting at 12:55 a.m. Agenda Item #10-C. Establish the Priorities of the Ordinance Workgrou~s The City Manager, Curtis Hawk, stated this item is on the agenda in order to get Council direction on which of the workgroups had priority and specifically mentioned that Councilmember Fawks had put together a map showing certain priorities on 1709 that the City should look at rezoning. Councilmember Martin agreed that the zoning needs to be looked at. The Council (after discussing the workgroup and priority matrices) directed staff to move the rezonings to the top of the priority list with amortization to follow (ahead of outside storage and display, lighting, and impervious coverage) and to begin advertisement of the rezonings for public hearings at the Planning and Zoning Commission. When asked if a motion was necessary, the Mayor and the City Manager responded that no motion was necessary and that staff had received their direction as to the priorities and to proeed with advertisements on the rezonings.
