CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE FINAL PLAT OF LOT 58 , POINTE NORTH ADDITION (LOCATED WEST BROWN ST. AT N. WINDING OAKS DR. ) .

Pitstick also explained that this is a simple replat and the only question is the perimeter street fees along the entire portion of the frontage of the property. Chairman Chaney said that perimeter street fees make sense in a subdivision, but not on commercial property, when the same person doesn' t own the whole piece of property. Mr . Pitstick said the fees for the whole frontage would be $19 ,485 .92 and only $3 ,217 .50 for the street just in front of the applicant' s property. Code Enforcement Officer , Roy Faires , said that a recommendation could be made to council that they approve the replat with the stipulation that the applicant have a signed agreement with the owner that the owner pay the rest of the street fees upon development, whether he decides to subdivide or not .

City Manger, John Pitstick, explained that Joanie Zeeb, of the Park Board , was at the meeting to make a presentation of the proposed landscape ordinance. He said that staff supports the ordinance from a philosophical standpoint , but has questions on administering it . Ms . Zeeb, of the Park Board, said that a landscape ordinance was presented to planning and zoning a year ago, but that this was a much more simplified ordinance. She said that the ordinance basically calls for a ten foot wide strip between the street and parking lot , a tree every one hundred feet , and ten extra points . She also said the ordinance explains what is required to obtain the ten extra points . Ms . Zeeb said that the Park Board feels that the only way to ensure that the city will get prettier , is to adopt a landscpae ordinance for commercial properties . Ms. Zeeb explained that the Park Board felt the need for input from the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses . Mr . Peddicord agreed with the concept , but was concerned with enforcemnet of the ordinance, and felt like it needed to be consolidated and not so detailed . Mr. Pitstick felt that the city could start on a smaller scale and with a minimum ordinance, and add to it as the city grows . He said that it might be a good idea to schedule a workshop with planning and zoning , park board , and the chamber of commerce, to get input before the ordinance goes before council . Ms . Wood felt that the whole idea of forcing a landscape ordinance on businesses was very hypocritical , when all the city property looks so bad . Mr . Pitstick explained that the council had approved a fulltime park employee to be hired in February, who would be totally responsible for taking care of city property. DISCUSSION OF THE MASTER LAND USE PLAN. Chairman Chaney asked if the planning and zoning board needed to specify SF1, SF2 , and SF3 along the Maxwell Creek area. City Manager , John Pitstick, said that his recommendation would be to only specify single family and then later designate the size homes , as the city is looking for general land use plan at this time. Mr. Pitstick added that when development starts , the city can better determine how much SF1, SF2 , and SF3 is needed. Mr . Stovall asked about the possibility of industrial coming in on FM 544 . Mr. Pitstick said that if the board recommends industrial , it automatically eliminates residential , but if residential is recommended, the developer must convince the board that industrial would be better . GENERAL DISCUSSION. Ms . Wood asked what the status was on Springcreek Parkway and Sanden Blvd . City Manager , John Pitstick, said that bids had been sought for Sanden Blvd . , and that Springcreek Parkway was still up in the air . Chairman Chaney asked what happened with Mr . Minyard' s lawsuit . Code Enforcement Officer , Roy Faires replied that the city lost the suit , and Mr. Minyard' s property is officially outside the city limits . Mr . Pitstick explained that it was lost on two counts; conflict of interest and improper filing . Ms . Wood asked if the petition circulating around town for liquor sales passed, in what zoning a liquor store would be. Mr . Pitstick said it would be a matter of deciding what zoning to put it in for a specific use. ADJOURN. There being no other business , Ms . Wood made a motion to adjourn .
