ACTION ITEMS
ITEM NO. 1: Consider approval of the Minutes from March 20, 1995 Regular Business Meeting. A motion was
made by Cecilia Wood and seconded by Steve Ahrens to approve the Minutes as submitted. Motion carried, all in
favor(6 votes).
PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM NO. 2: Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request from Russell Davis for a zone
change of two (2) parcels of land from SF-3 to B-2, located at 308, 310, and 312 W. Brown Street, East of
Cottonbelt and North of Brown, further described as: A part of lot 70 and a part of lot 71, block 12 of the Brown
&Burns Addition. Russell Davis spoke in favor of the zone change. He said that since he submitted the request he
has since realized that he does not need a B-2 zoning and that Retail would be fine. He is going to remodel the
duplex's for office space and use the other lot for parking. Cecilia Wood offered the "0" zoning for Professional
Office District that would allow his use and would protect that space for future development if Mr. Davis ever left.
Mr. Davis was satisfied with that zoning. Bobby Hernandez, owner of 304 W. Brown said that he wants to make
sure that the zoning is the strictest there is. He is not against the office space being there but he wants to make sure
that no one can come in later and put something in like a day care. Jerry Smith, of 309 N. Cottonbelt and also
representing Rachael Miller of 307 W. Brown, said that if the zoning goes through he wants to make sure Code
Enforcement enforces the restrictions because the strip center(Maria's) adjacent to his property is not kept up and
the flies are real bad. Mr. Wyman stated that Code Enforcement cannot possibly know what all the problems are
all the time and that if concerned citizens would call in and let the department know then the problem would be
addressed but that would not happen in this case since a food establishment would not be allowed in a professional
office district. The Commission asked some questions regarding parking and traffic. Mr. Davis said that his square
footage would require him to have at least 5 spaces and he plans on setting up the parking lot as a one way in/one
way out type lot to help alleviate traffic problems on Brown Street. A motion was made by Cecilia Wood and
seconded by John Crowe to recommend to the City Council a request to change the zoning from "SF-3" to "0" at
308, 310 and 312 W. Brown Street. Motion passed (Rotes for and/against--Stuart Allison).

ITEM NO.3: Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request from Unity Partners for a replat
of two (2) lots (20.4 acres) at 1355 and 1345 FM 1378 at McMillen Road into ten (10) lots and further described
as: lot 1 (10.2 acres) and lot 2 (10.2 acres) of McMillen Farms Estates. Don Kreymer, President of Unity Partners,
spoke in favor of the replat. The Commission was not quite sure why this was coming before them again. Mr.
Wyman explained that the original replat was never finaled because Mr. Kreymer never put in the sewer and finished
the improvements. Mr. Kreymer now wants to not only change the replat but also to change the engineering on the
sewer improvements. Instead of going under the creek with the sewer line, he now wants to do an aerial crossing.
Greg MacLean, City Engineer with Hogan Corp., explained that from an engineering point there were no grounds
to not allow the aerial crossing. The only concerns were about the aesthetics and the flood water from the creek.
The height will be five feet (5') above the flowline of the creek and should allow for flooding. Mr. Joel Jordan,
owner of lot seven (7) directly west of lots one (1) and two (2), said that he was concerned about his access to his
home when the time comes to tie onto his end of the sewer line. He granted Mr. Kreymer an easement but it was
never done. He said that he is familiar with Mr. Kreymer's work and does not want this to end up another disaster
with him being denied access to his property or an incomplete sewer line. The Commission discussed several things
about the sewer improvements, why the replat is configured the way it is, etc. Mr. Wyman explained that Mr.
Kreymer wants to sell the front three (3) acres of lot two (2) and would have to replat that but he could not leave
the back half of lot two(2)without access to public right of way or to city utilities. The person wanting to purchase
the three (3) acres did not want to lose twenty-five feet (25') of the frontage land to allow for an access easement;
therefore the replat is configured this way. A motion was made by Steve Ahrens and seconded by Cecilia Wood to
recommend to the City Council for approval a replat of lots one(1)and two (2) of McMillen Farms Estates. Motion
carried, (5 vote for and 1 against--Stuart Allison).
ADJOURN: A motion was made by John Crowe and seconded by Tim Owen to adjourn. Motion carried, all in
favor(6 votes). Chairman Peddicord adjourned the meeting.
