OF THE
CITY OF THE COLONY, TEXAS HELD ON

A regular meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of
The Colony, Denton County, Texas, was called to order by Chairman Harry
Hunsicker with the following members present:
Harry Hunsicker Chairman
Bob Brown Member
Mark Crow Member
Richard Turner Member
and with Cathy Bock absent due to her attendance at a convention in San
Antonio, thus constituting a quorum. Also present was Frank Graham,
Fox & Jacobs; Alderman Linda Adams, Mayor Bill Longo and Janice Carroll,
City Secretary.
Member Bob Brown and Member Mark Crow were given their Oath of Office
by Mayor Longo. Members Brown, Crow and Bock had been appointed at the
April 17, 1978 City Council meeting to serve for a two year term on the
Planning & Zoning Commission. It was agreed that Member Bock would be
sworn in prior to the Public Hearing scheduled for May 6, 1978.
Member Crow moved that the minutes of the regular meeting held on
April 4, 1978 be approved as written. Member Turner seconded the motion.
The motion was carried by the following vote:
Ayes: All Members Present Voted Aye
Noes: None
Prior to continuing to agenda item three, the commission discussed their
progress with the recently elected Mayor Longo. Chairman Hunsicker
offered to call and visit with each Council member to bring them up to
date with the work done by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Agenda item number three was further review and study of the Zoning
Ordinance for the City of The Colony. Member Crow stated that he had
been studying the Master Land Use Plan prepared by Schrieckel & Rollins,
and he felt that many of the zoning districts and definitions used in
the Dallas zoning ordinance did not relate to The Colony nor did they
coincide with the uses outlined by the Master Plan. Member Crow felt
that the uses are too broad in the proposed ordinance. There followed
a lengthy discussion relative to this. Frank Graham stated that this
commission does not zone but recommends to the City Council. Other
commission members were concerned with the necessity of getting a zoning
ordinance prepared to present to the City Council as soon as possible.
They were concerned that the commission did not have the time to do the
reviewing necessary for this coordination effort.
Frank Graham said that he was in agreement with the Zoning district
designated as neighborhood service, and that it should be included in
the proposed zoning ordinance. Member Turner agreed that the commission
must do some further work on the definitions in the ordinance. The
commission did not come to a specific agreement at this meeting as to
their future work on the zoning ordinance.
Chairman Hunsicker reminded the commission of the Public Hearing to be
held on May 6, 1978 relative to a zoning change request.
