Staff informed the commissioners that the drainage and construction plans were submitted along with the application for this final plat. Chairman Wall asked about the drainage ditch along the back of the southern lots.

Case Z-03-005 - PUBLIC HEARING - Special Use Permit for an accessory building on Lot 1, Block 3, Sunrise Terrace, located at 1205 Glade Road Chairman Wall asked Barry LeBaron why the case is before them since they recently heard the case and made a recommendation to City Council and City Council denied the special use permit. Barry LeBaron explained how the City Council established the regulations for accessory buildings approximately three years ago. There was discussion about the provision in the Land Development Code that states a zoning case cannot be applied for within one year from denial unless it is for a different zoning category. There was discussion by the Commission if a 250 square foot reduction in the size of the garage constitutes a significant change. They also discussed the significant support from the neighbors that was submitted with the new application, but how the structure and fa<;:ade were the same as the original proposal that was denied. The commissioners discussed how this case needed to be considered independently from the case that was denied by City Council. Commissioner Byerly recommended that the commissioners be polled to determine if the change from a 6 car 1,750 square foot garage to a 4 car 1,500 square foot garage was a significant enough change to warrant their consideration of the special use permit application and bypass the one year rule. Those in favor of considering the item were: Kelly, Swift, Wall Those in favor of not considering the item were: Byerly, Sellers, Jones [Note: Section 11.01 of the City of Colleyville City Charter states: "... no action shall be approved with less than four (4) affirmative votes." The item was not considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission.] 5. Discussion of the Master Plan Update Chairman Wall complimented Barry LeBaron on the presentations he has done. There was discussion about the update for neighborhood 1 and also discussion on the way the last neighborhood meeting went. Commissioner Byerly suggested when they are conducting a neighborhood follow-up meeting, people should introduce themselves. Commissioner Swift said the effort to present a synopsis of the meetings is excellent and 45% of comments fall into three basic categories: Highway 26, Roads, and Parks & Recreation. 6. Staff Comments, Reports and Discussion Items. There were none. 7. Commissioners' Comments and Reports: Commissioner Sellers asked about signage on Highway 26 and commented about a grand opening sign in front of Fidelity Bank.
