Before the Planning & Zoning Commission makes a recommendation to city council on this request, they have requested more information on several areas, one of them being proposed improvements to Stewart Creek Park. General discussion took place during which Chairman Orme of the Parks and Recreation Board, stated the Board has not set any defini~plans for this park and were waiting to see what the Corps of Engineers had planned for future improvements at the park.

FOR CHANGE OF ZONING FROM AGRICULTURE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ALLOWING SINGLE FAMILY AND GENERAL RETAIL USES, ON APPROXIMATELY 205 ACRES LOCATED WEST OF ETHRIDGE DRIVE ON STEWART CREEK PENINSULA, AND REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SAME. Larry Ludwig, Joe Luciana, and Jim Bell representatives of Fox & Jacobs, were present. At this time, Chairman Fiumara read a letter received from Dr. Clayton W. Downing, Superintendent of Schools, Lewisville Independent School District, copy of which is attached to the minutes. It was noted that Mr. Stanton had sent a letter to Dr. Downing informing him the figure of 700 acres for development was incorrect and should be 205 acres with 785 dwelling units. Chairman Fiumara also stated he had sent Dr. Downing a letter stating Mr. Charlie Parker, member of the School Board for the Lewisville Independent School District, would be the liaison between the Planning & Zoning Commission and the school district. Mr. Larry Ludwig, of Fox & Jacobs, stated the assistant superintendent of the school district had been provided a copy of the plat several weeks ago and there apparently was a miscommunication. He further added he has now met with Dr. Downing on this project and apologized for the miscommunication. He added the school district has been given the option to purchase a 7 to 10 acre tract for future development of a school. The schedule for development impact is still the same as stated before, 3-5 years. Mr. Ludwig went on to say he had met with the homeowner's in this area to discuss their concerns - view of the lake, house sizes, traffic, etc., with house sizes and view of the lake being the 2 major concerns. He stated Fox & Jacobs intends to build the same type of product on south side of N. Colony that is now there and through protected covenants, have agreed to build houses with a minimum of 1500 sq. feet. He added homes already built in this area are from 1600 to 2200 sq. feet in size. Discussion followed, afterwhich it was agreed by Fox & Jacobs that on those lots east of an imaginary line of the extension of Ethridge Drive southward toward the· lake, to build a minimum of 1600 sq. foot homes. Joe Luciana, of Fox & Jacobs, then gave a presentation of the results of the meeting that was held with the homeowner's in the area. He presented plans of alternates that were shown to the homeowner's and discussion followed on each plan. He added the homeowner's were more favorable with the alternate plan no. 1 which shows a loss of 4 lots with 3 lots backing against the property line. The loss of the 4 lots will ensure the homeowner's in this area would still have a view of the lake. The open space already there as well as the area left by the loss of the 4 lots would be dedicated to the city and Fox & Jacobs has agreed to grade the area so that it would be easier to main- tain. General discussion followed, afterwhich it was also agreed by Fox & Jacobs to widen the property line at the neck of the open space between Lot 2, Block 246, to give more room to the existing open space for maintenance. Discussion then followed on the maintenance of the open area by the city. Larry Ludwig stated Bill Allen of Fox & Jacobs had agreed last summer that until all the lots are built out in that area that Fox & Jacobs would maintain the open area south of those homes and he didn't think there would be any problem continuing the agree- ment with this area. At this time, City Manager, Janice Carroll, stated it is important for the city to receive open land like this for parks, but as far as developing it, that would be a separate issue. Greg Tibbles, #1 Holden Cr., stated he is the only homeowner on Holden Cr. that will still not have a view of the lake even with the alternate plan presented by Fox & Jacobs and he wanted the commission to be aware of this. Julie Tibbles, #1 Holden Cr., wanted to know if an environmental impact study of this area had been done. Chairman Fiumara said the proposed plans would have to be submitted to the city's engineers and also be approved by the Corps of Engineers. Member Cravens stated the plans would also have to be submitted to the Federal Housing Administration and they do an environmental study of the house itself. Mr. Ludwig went on to add that the general retail area would be neighborhood service shops and would not be a shopping center type of environment. At this time, Mr. Stanton went over the list of all items noted by the city's consultants regarding the review of the plans for this project. A copy of the letter with these items and the responding answer from Fox & Jacobs is attached to the minutes. General discussion continued on with Chairman Fiumara stating most of the board do not agree with the 50 foot lots, front entry garage homes facing rear entry garage homes, and would further like to discuss the separation of Stewart Creek Park of these homes. Mr. Ludwig stated the size of the lots does not change the size of the homes, and very rarely changes the distances between the homes. Discussion followed. Member Brantley commented he would like to see N. Colony Boulevard built out at some point in time. Mr. Ludwig stated Fox & Jacobs would work with the city to do this in a reasonable amount of time. Discussion continued on the school district with Mr. Charlie Parker of the school board, stating the school district needs to be kept advised of plans for development so adequate amount of schools can be planned for. Mr. Ludwig again stated Fox & Jacobs is willing to make available a 7 to 10 acre tract for the school district to purchase for future development of a school in this area. Chairman Fiumara also stated in the future, the Plan- ning & Zoning Commission would advise the school district of any large developments. At this time, Chairman Fiumara requested a 5 minute break. Discussion then continued on the security of Stewart Creek Park and a separation of the park from the homes. Mr. Ludwig stated Fox & Jacobs proposed to either build a 6 foot wood fence with no gates at the time houses are built, or to erect a 6 foot galvanized chain link fence with vinyl clad green color to blend in around the perimeter of the park. It was also discussed to make an emergency exit adjacent to the Johnson property. Discussion continued on front entry garage homes and 2 car garage. Mr. Ludwig stated not all the homes would have 2 car garages but he would agree to having 2 car garages on the front entry perimeter homes. After all discussion was finished, Mr. Stanton advised the commission to make all the recommendations at this time on the zoning portion of this item they want to make. Ail that will go to council at this time is the zoning portion of this item and not the preliminary plat. * Member Cravens then made a motion to approve the request of Fox & Jacobs for a change of zoning from agriculture to ~lanned development allowing single family and general retail uses, on approximately 205 acres located west of Ethridge Drive on Stewart Creek Peninsula, with the following stipulations: 1. South side of N. Colony and east of Ethridge Drive, minimum of 1600 sq. foot homes. West of Ethridge Drive - minimum of 1500 sq. foot hOmes. 2.

(214)539-1S$~ January 6, 1986 Mr. Robert Fuimara, Chairman ?lann~ng and Zoning Commission City of The Colony 5576 North Colony Blvd. The Colony, Texas 75056 Dear Mr. Fu£mara: I understand ~ha~ Fox & Jacobs has requested consideration for rezonin$ of some 700+ acres for residential construction. In checkin~ with ay assistants, I discovered that the only con,act we have had re~ardins ~his request was one telephone call, which was somewhat vasue. The district certainly does not oppose new residential con- struction; however, we feel that we need to be involved with the developer insofar as the impact on the school distrlc~ goes. At the present time, all of our elementary schools and our middle school in The Colony are over-crowded. We believe that we can alleviate most of this over-crowding by 1987 with present zoning. If, however, 700 more acres are devel- oped, we would need time to study and make impact projec- tions. We would also need school sites made available if we are to coutlnue to keep pace ,ith the growth. Any assistance you could give us would be appreciated. With- out a doubt, the development of 700 more acres would strain the existing as well as the planned facilities in The Colony. Thank you [or your help in the past, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Mr. Stanton did ask since the 21 parking spaces are not listed on the out parcel, in order to enforce this say 5 years down the road, to maybe put some kind of wording in the body of the plat to cover this. It was also stated members would like to have a berm for screening for the dumpsters. Ms. Oaks also stated the parking lot will be paved with concrete.

He stated M.U.D. approval has been received, drainage flow indicators are on the plan, and sidewalks are not being encouraged with no purpose being served to have them. The bank just to the north of this site does not have sidewalks. He further added they have submitted a change on the median cut and after talking to the city's engineer, Hal Jones, this date this is the least desirable design. Mr. Jones suggesed to have the owners try to obtain a mutual access agreement with the property owner just to the north and leave the median the same, or have them move that far north approach southward at least 25 feet and leave the median as is. Mr. Jones did recommend going with his first suggestion of a mutual access agreement. Mr. Stanton stated this is a problem that should be handled during building permit process, and staff does recommend approval contingent upon median access easement being worked out at that time. Mr. Mike Hampton, representing Colony Point Shopping Center, was present and stated he had talked to the property owners to the north concerning a mutual access easement and they did not want the agreement since it does not facilitate their plans. General discussion continued during which Mr. Stanton stated during permit time that the culvert area along S. Colony will be half way cleaned up and mainted. There being no further questions, Chairman Fiumara stated the item still needing to be addressed is the median cut per the city engineer. Mr. Stanton stated to also re-emphasize the fact that 2 buildings are depended upon each other's parking no matter what happens in the future. If the owners sell it off, a way will have to be found to guarantee there is mutual access for both. Mr. Hampton stated they can record a cross over mutual access agreement, and Mr. Stanton replied that would be a good idea. At this time, Member Bradley made a motion to approve the site plan for Colony Point Shopping Center located at the corner of Paige & S. Colony Boulevard with the following stipulations; median cuts be approved by the city's traffic engineer, and mutual access to all parking areas for the site plan of the Colony Point Shopping Center.

He further showed a conceptual land use plan of the location of property. General discussion followed, during which Chairman Fiumara stated he would like to see the property rezoned to an 0-1 use rather than an 0-2 use and after Fox & Jacobs has more definite plans as to what may go on this ~ site, if there is a need for an 0-2 zoning use to come back to be rezoned at that time. Member Bock stated she could see Fox & Jacob's point of view for want- ing this piece of property rezoned to an 0-2 use now, it would be a better marketing point. She further stated she has some concerns with traffic in this area, how- ever she had done some research with a land planner who suggested that an 0-2 use with a stipulation of a 3 story maximum height would be appropriate for this area. She further added she had problems with a 6 story building in this area, however the market will dictate what is to be built in this area. Discussion continued during which Mr. Ludwig stated he would rather have the property rezoned to an 0-2 use with a maximum of a 3 story height then have it rezoned to 0-1, because it would give them a little more flexibility.

Mr. Hall gave a brief preview of this agenda item stating that per the request of the City Manager and the Council this item needed to be reviewed and discussed by the Commission. Chairman Fiumara stated first he would like the Commission to decide what they would like to see here in The Colony as far as standards. The Commission stated they first needed to define what the ordinance wanted to accomplish. Member Glazener proceeded to distribute some material and information that he had gathered on this subject. In addition, Member Bock had some material for the Commission to review. It was also suggested by the Commission that they would like to obtain some copies of the surrounding cities' ordinances on this subject for comparison. The Commission was in agreement that this subject did need to be addressed and that it needed to contain "teeth". The Commission discussed this item and agreed that more information was needed before a decision could be made. Points of interest were that the Commission did want to have an ordinance that could control this issue and possibly it could be addressed as a specific use permit or a zoning ordinance. The Commission did decide to address this issue further at the Special Session that will be held on November 5th, 1986. Member Bock made amotion to adjourn the meeting.

REPORT FROM COMMISSION MEMBER REGARDING COUNCIL MEETING Chairman Fiumara stated there were no P & Z items contained in the City Council Meeting so a representative was not present. 5. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC USE PERMITS. Chairman Fiumara turned the floor over to Bill Hall. Mr. Hall re- ferenced the memo that the Commission Members received from Ms. Patti Hicks, City Secretary. Mr. Hall explained the reason behind this agenda item was that there were questions regarding Specific Use Permits. One question that has presented itself is whether the ~-~ S.U.P. (Specific Use Permit) was for a particular location or for the actual business or individual who applied. Member Solohubow inquired what other surrounding cities are doing in regard to this. Member Bock inquired if the purpose of the change was to move the S.U.P. from the land to the individual. Mr. Hall stated he felt it was rather important, especially with the degree of changes taking place within the City, to have some control or input when businesses change ownership or a property vacates to another area. The main question would be if that S.U.P. should still remain in effect for that type of business or location? A brief discussion pursued on this subject. Mr. Hall also stated that the City Council would like the Commission's recommendation in regard to the Specific Use Permits. He also referenced a letter from Mr. John Boyle, City's attorney, containing ways that could control, limit or redefine the issuance of S.U.P.'s. After another brief discussion, Chairman Fiumara sum- marized the Commission's recommendation to Council. He stated the Commission felt that the Specific Use Permits should go with the individual and not with the land and/or property location and it would become subject to review if there is a change of ownership. Chairman Fiumara also thought it would be a good idea to have a clause stating the S.U.P's could be reviewed, per the recommendation contained in John Boyle's letter (Page Three, Item #1), and would like to see this done within one year from the date of approval of the ordinance issuing the Specific Use Permits. 6. DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCE ON THE DISPLAY OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ADULT ORIENTATED MATERIAL. Chairman Fiumara referenced the information that was forwarded to the Commission from Mr. Bill Hall regarding surrounding area's ordi- nances on this same subject. After reviewing them, Chairman Fiumara stated that the ordinance from the City of Dallas seemed to be very '505 - Page Three - 6. DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCE ON THE DISPLAY OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ADULT ORIENTATED MATERIAL CONTINUED similar to the needs and intentions that the P & Z Commission wanted to accomplish. He did state he would like to see a few additions to this along the lines of schools; i.e. High Schools and Day Care Centers. Chairman Fiumara also wanted to send Chief Nick Ristagno a copy of the Dallas ordinance for his review, input and comments. Chairman Fiumara also requested possibly informing Chief Ristagno of the upcoming Work Session and see if he could attend. It was also mentioned that the Dallas ordinance had already been proven in court. Chairman Fiumara suggested that the Commission review the Dallas ordinance and come prepared to the P & Z Work Session, scheduled for November 5th, with their input and comments. It was also recommened to possibly consider raising the age from 18 to 21 for more parental control. In addition Mr. George Gillette was present and added that the Commission might want to exclude the library from some of those restrictions. Chairman Fiumara asked if Mr. Gillette could get some guidelines regarding this issue since he was a member of the Library Board. It was then concluded that this item would be discussed further at the November 5th Work Session. Member Sharp made a motion to adjourn the Meeting.

Member Foster made a motion to Open the Meeting. Member Brantley seconded the motion. 2. WORK SESSION REGARDING ORDINANCE ON THE DISPLAY OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ADULT ORIENTATED MATERIAL. Chairman Fiumara stated he would like to begin with this item since Chief Ristagno was present and he had requested his input. Chief Ristagno stated he had reviewed the ordinance from Dallas on this subject and felt it was thorough. He stated that this ordinance attacks the problem from two different areas. One is from the en- forcement standpoint, it requires the Police Department to run a background check on each individual applying for a permit. The other aspect is that it covers the zoning perspective, i.e. restricting it to certain areas away from schools, private property, etc. This ordinance does not prohibit pornography but it does or will enable the City to control it. Chief Ristagno also stated according to the Penal Code, an ordinance could restrict the age of people who frequent these establish- ments. He was in support of establishing some form of control in the way of an ordinance and also expressed his cooperation if the Planning and Zoning Commission were to come up with an ordinance similar to the Dallas one which contains steps requiring permits issued from the Police Department. Chief Ristagno also stated now was the time to be looking into this ordinance prior to having any type of this form of business so that planning and zoning could contain and control this right from the start. Again he reinterated that the key point is not to prohibit but to control. Chairman Fiumara stated this was the intention of the Planning and Zoning Commission and that he liked having the Police Department involved in this process. Chief Ristagno expressed his support and cooperation in this area. He also stressed he preferred having the applicants come to his department for the permitting process. This way the background checks could be performed and their department would be aware of the businesses involved. Chairman Fiumara stated that when the P & Z Commission drafts an ordinance they will run it by Chief Ristagno and the attorney for their input prior to it being formalized. 1. 2ND WORK SESSION WITH FOX & JACOBS REGARDING NORTHPOINTE. Chairman Fiumara turned the floor over to Mr. Joe Luciani, representing Fox and Jacobs for this Work Session. Chairman Fiumara requested that the traffic study be addressed. Mr. Mark Thompson with the firm of DeShazo, Starek and Tang was introduced and fielded responses and questions on the traffic study. It was addressed that the traffic study was performed during June and this would not be an accurate reflection of traffic figures since it would not have included school traffic. Mr. Hal Jones, City's Traffic Engineer, interjected that he had reviewed this study they had prepared and this item was discussed and brought to their attention. Mr. Jones stated they had used figures that were based on the 510 -- 2 -- 2000 Year Study obtained from the North Texas Council of Governments and that it was based on 40,000 vehicles. Mr. Jones expressed that these figures would have been in excess of what might be reflected during seasons when school was in session. A brief discussion followed regarding traffic. Next, Mr. Luciani addressed the Commission and informed them that Fox & Jacobs was willing to donate 10-12 acres for a school site and he referenced where this area was in relation to the total development. Chairman Fiumara inquired what the School District's thoughts were as to this location? He stated he thought this area was a poor location for an elementary school due to the proximity of the railroad. It was also discussed that the streets near the school needed to be widened and that possibly an additional access road needed to be provided. It was also discussed that the streets would access into Turner Street. Mr. Jones stated that since the street widths were at the minimum possibly parking restric- tions could be implemented to contain parking to only one side of the street possibly the east side. Chairman Fiumara stated that he would like to see all of these requests/topics listed. Additional discussion pursued on streets and access areas and traffic patterns. It was recommended that opening Twitty St. would not pose a traffic problem for residents and would give another access to this area. Mr. Jones also was in agreement to this due to the fact that Turner Street was prone to flooding and this would alleviate the potential of isolating some homes. It was also discussed to increase the radius for the turn lane from Street A into North Colony Blvd to allow turn lanes from both directions, right and left. Mr. Hal Jones stated that the proposed double alleyway was a potential problem and instead of this possibly F & J could just provide one alleyway and increase it by two feet (2 ft.). Another area that was addressed was in regard to the "Screening Wall" that F & J was proposing. The Commission requested additional information and specifics on this wall, such as the distance between this "Screening Wall" and property lines, in case individuals were to install fences. Also questioned was the width and length of this proposed wall, what was the height of the wall, what kind of brick was to be used, if they (F & J) would be providing a diagram of this wall. It was mentioned by the Commission that they would like to see all of this prior to acceptance~andwould also like to see a sidewalk installed by them next to this wall. It was also questioned as to the type of landscaping that was proposed near this wall. Chairman Fiumara inquired if they were planning on installing some form of light fixtures in this wall. It was stated this had not been in the plans and that the lights from the street would illuminate this area. Chief Ristagno interjected that the candlewatts as they are from the street lights would not be adequate enough for this purpose especially if there was a wall involved since that would even shadow it more. This topic was discussed further. It was addressed that Block #7 with five (5) homes facing into Street A would need to be resituated so that they would not face into this street It was suggested that possibly designing a cul-de-sac for this area could alleviate this problem. Chairman Fiumara inquired if Fox & Jacobs would assist with the cost of installing traffic lights at North Colony & Paige and South Colony & Paige. Chairman Fiumara felt that the additional traffic would be due to this development and the City would need some assistance in this area. Mr. Luciani felt that Fox & Jacobs could assist with this expense. Chairman Fiumara next stated he would like to see these items addressed prior to approval of this development. Mr. Luciani stated this could be accomplished and stated he would like to proceed with the next step/phase of this development. The question was posed to Mr. Luciani as to when construction would begin on this development. He stated he was not sure about actual dates but did not foresee it beginning until another year, possibly around January, 1988. Member Sharp made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion was seconded by Member Foster and carried with the following vote: Ayes: All present voted aye Noes: None Meeting adjourned at 10:20 P.M.
