ITEM NO. 2 - Discussion of the Master Land Use and Thoroughfare Plan.
Mike Monroe of Eddie Cheatham & Associates presented the Land Use and
Thoroughfare Plan to Council. He explained the P & Z had held two public
hearings and sane changes were made along Little School Road north of Sublett
Road on both the east and west sides. Attending citizens recommended the
Land Use Plan show canmercial use instead of the proposed residential use.
The original plan did not show commercial, except at the intersections
indicated as activity modules. Monroe pointed out that the Land Use Plan
should be good for the entire city and not for a-particular group of folks.
The Land Use Plan is to be used as a guide by the City Council, P & Z and
developers. Individual property owners would still have to make application
for a zoning change and be approved by P & Z and City Council. Monroe
indicated it would be hard to control a narrow strip of com~riercial property,
but if allowed it would be highly restricted. Kennedale has 60 to 70 percent
of vacant land within the city to be developed. Mayor Radakovich stressed
the importance of having commercial property within the city. Monroe
suggested a one page questionnaire be sent to 50 persons selected randomly
fran the tax roll requesting their opinion on the land use for Little School
Road.
Mayor Radakovich suggested that the thoroughfare pass through Alma Lane, a
dedicated street but not opened at the present time.
Motion was made by Bill Abbott, seconded by Pete Kirkpatrick, to schedule
a public hearing on the Master Land Use and Thoroughfare Plan. Motion
carried unanimously.
