Regular Meeting Planning & Zoning Commission
August 15, 1985
Bill Cromer called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m.
Members present were Glynn Cavasos, Pat Turner, Walter
Billingsley, Bill Cromer, Mike McCarty, Joe Moniz and
John Gregory.
Staff in attendance were Ted Rowe, Danny Thomas and
Linda Jones.
Minutes of the public hearing and regular meeting dated
June 20, 1985 were approved as submitted.
I. Mrs. Sue Hair and resident property owners in the
Original Town of Kennedale appeared before the Com-
mission requesting a public hearing be held to con-
sider a change in zoning from "B" Multi Family to
"A" Single Family.
The Commission set the public hearing for September
19, 1985 at 7:30 p.m.
II. Mr. Wayne Winters had requested to appear before the
Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the diffi-
culty in obtaining a variance to the Flood Damage
Protection Ordinance so as to build within the flood -
way. He requested the Commission to grant a variance
for property on Trent Street (Lot 4, Block 12, Oak
Crest Addition) to allow construction within the
floodway.
Original submission of this request to the Floodplain
Administrator (Ted Rowe) was returned for additional
information required in the ordinance. Mr. Winters
countered that it was too expensive to develop the
additional information for only one lot.
The Commission tabled this item until the September
meeting so that the City Attorney and City Engineer
could be present to advise.
Motion was made by Pat Turner, seconded by Mike McCarty,
to table the item until the next meeting. Motion carried.
III. Mr. Darrell Miska of Hansen and Company requested a
sign permit to erect a 8' X 22', 176 square feet sign
approximately 50 foot in height. Subject sign is
for advertising for a mini - warehouse project located
on North Little Road. It was the consensus of the
Commission that there isn't an ordinance to regulate
signs in the "F" Commercial zoning.
Motion was made by Pat Turner, to table this item
until the Commission could make a recommendation to
Council on sign regulations for the "F" Commercial
Zoning. Four voted for the motion, Joe Moniz and
Mike McCarty opposed. Motion carried.
IV. Speed Fab -Crete requested a building permit for 2,000
square feet of additional office and storage space at
1150 East Mansfield Highway.
Motion was made by Joe Moniz, seconded by John Gregory,
to approve the building permit. Motion carried without
opposition.
V. Mr. Gary Cooper requested a building permit to erect
the First National Bank of Kennedale located on
Mansfield Highway and Cloverlane Drive. Mr. Cooper
informed the Commission that a fence would be placed
between the bank and the primary school.
Motion was made by Pat Turner, seconded by Mike McCarty,
to approve the building permit with the stipulation
that a sidewalk be placed along Cloverlane Drive if the
school agrees to extend it in front of their property.
Motion carried.
VI. Mr. Gary Cooper and Mr. Scott Steward (John Levitt
Engineers, Inc.) acting in the absence of Mr. Don
Samanie (Developer) presented the final Plat for
Brookfield Addition for approval. The Commission
discussed details and requested explanation on various
aspects of 52 unit, 4 -Plex addition. Several items
were identified that require resolution by the City
Engineer (Freese and Nichols) and John Levitt Engineers.
1. Looping the 6" water line either under
the Railroad to Business 287 or to the
existing line in Pine Meadow Addition
(required additional utility easements
in both additions).
2 Dead -end street (Spring Creek) with no
provision for turn around.
3. Adequacy of drainage plan. Additionally,
the Commission determined that the City
Code requirements for street lights,
sidewalks and 30' building lines should
be met unless the City Council granted
a variance. Justification for requesting
the variances would be presented to the
Council during their review of the plat.
Motion was made by Mike McCarty, seconded by Joe Moniz,
to recommend approval based on the resolution of the
street light, building set -back line, and sidewalk
requirements. Motion carried.
VII. Mr. Paul Moss presented a prelimianry Plat for a planned
industrial complex to be located north of and adjacent
to Industrial Court. Staff has prepared a check list
for processing of preliminary plats from requirements
outlined in the City Code. The check list was used
for Mr. Moss' request, which indicated that many items
needed to be added or changed before the plat could
be processed.
Motion by Joe Moniz, seconded by John Gregory to table
this item until the plat is revised to meet City Code
requirements. Motion carried.
VIII. Mr. Tommy Kirby (Kirby Concrete Co.) submitted a request
for a building permit to enlarge his present building
on Valley Lane. The present structure and the proposed
addition are both within the floodplain. Ted Rowe
briefed the Commission that the floodplain construction
requirements would be met with a finished floor at the
same level as the existing floor. This is because the
construction will be less than a "substantial improve-
ment", while meeting all other requirements. Approval
of the request would also provide a de facto variance
under the provisions of Section 13 -96(6) of the Flood
Damage Protection Ordinance.
Motion to approve the building permit was made by
Pat Turner, seconded by John Gregory. Motion carried.
There being no further business, motion was made by Joe Moniz,
seconded by John Gregory, to adjourn the meeting. Motion
carried.
Meeting adjourned at 10 :35 p.m.
