hearing. Those present wishing to speak were:

Steve Martin, 813 W. Lavaca Trail, stated that he is opposed to the zoning change because it
does not conform to the surrounding uses. He said that everyone in the area has large estate lots
and increased traffic is not desirable. Mr. Martin talked about the drainage problems associated
with the property and how when it rains, the water goes over the street onto his property.
Bob Monks, 901 W. LaVaca Trail, said that he is opposed as the proposed addition is not
cohesive with the current residences on LaVaca Trail. He said that 25 lots are too many and there
are already drainage problems with the property. He said that a dead end street is great for
raising his children
Nan Martin, 813 W. LaVaca Trail, opposed due to the fact that there are rural estates on LaVaca
Trail with only 12 houses on the street and there is nothing comparable with the density the
developer is proposing. She said that the neighborhood is what Colleyville used to be rather than
higher density subdivisions that are common now and the residents would like it to remain that
way. She said that a petition in opposition that has been circulated and signed by 10 out of the
12 families on LaVaca Trail and it will be presented to the Planning and Zoning office.
Stephanie Giacomini, 805 W. LaVaca Trail, said that her house is in construction and she is
opposed. She said that she has owned the property and is now building on it. Ms. Giacomini said
that she has had several offers from people wanting to buy her home, but would not sell because
she wants to live in a rural area. She said that this is one of the few spots in Fort Worth and it's
suburbs that are country within the city. She said that the road with the pot holes makes up the
character of the neighborhood.
Tammy Nordling, 715 W. LaVaca Trail, spoke in opposition and said that she agrees with Steve
Martin and her neighbors and does not want additional traffic.
Chairman Hart asked if the applicant was present. He was not.
Commissioner Edwards said that the development is not compatible with the neighborhood and
there are no mitigating circumstances to prevent the developer from meeting all of the PUD-R
requirements. She said that she agrees with the residents and a PUD is not compatible with the
kind of neighborhood that is already there.
Commissioner Hill said that he would echo those comments.
Commissioner Rutherford said that he is concerned about the lack of open space. He said that
there is no reason for the developer to not meet the requirements.
Chairman Hart said that the Commission has valid concerns and the development is not
compatible with what surrounds it.
Commissioner Rutherford moved to table the rezoning case. Commissioner Edwards
seconded the motion.

Commissioner Edwards questioned the need to table the case. Commissioner Fletcher said that
he agreed and felt that the request was inappropriate for the area, and even if the developer
brought in another PUD, it would not be compatible with the surrounding properties.
Commissioner Edwards said that she is a little reluctant to take action without ever having talked
to the developer, so she would let her second to the motion stand. Commissioner Rutherford said
that it is difficult to vote against his own motion, but the point is well taken.
Commissioner Collins asked staff what the applicant's recourse would be if the case were denied.
Staff said that he could request an appeal hearing by the City Council. Staff said that if City
Council denied the rezoning request on a straight zoning case, the applicant would not be allowed
to re-fiIe the case for one year for the same zoning category. Mr. LeBaron, said that it becomes
more difficult with a PUD-R, because the Commission would have to determine if the PUD is
significantly different in order for the request to be heard again within the one year period. If the
applicant complied with everything the Commission is wanting and the request was changed to
be a specialized, customized zoning, it would be unfair to the applicant to not be heard. Mr.
LeBaron said that he believed the reason the applicant is not present is because he heard the
DRC concerns which have been reflected by the Commission and did not have enough time to
reanalyze and redesign the subdivision to submit something somewhat different. He said that he
would be uncomfortable for the Commission to deny the case. Chairman Hart said that the
applicant was aware that this was a public hearing tonight and he needed to hear the concerns
of the citizens in the area.
The vote being:
Ayes: Edwards, Collins,
Noes: Rutherford, Fletcher, Hill, Hart
Commissioner Fletcher said that the applicant has called all of the citizens in the neighborhood
together for the public hearing tonight and he should have given the Commission and the citizens
the courtesy of hearing their input. Commissioner Hill said that he agreed.
Commissioner Fletcher moved to deny the zoning change request. Commissioner
Rutherford seconded the Rutherford seconded the motion.
Commissioner Hill said that if the applicant presents another request for a PUD, it would need to
be drastically different from the original request in order for the Commission to reconsider it.
Commissioner Edwards asked staff if the case was denied and the applicant resubmitted another
request, would he have to pay the fees again? Staff responded that the applicant would have
to re-pay the application fee of $500.
The vote being:
Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hill, Hart
Noes: None

6. PUBLIC HEARING - A Zoning Change requested by Larry Cole, from PUD-R & R40 to R20
on 48,831 s.f. located on the north side of Van Oaks Drive - Remington Park, Phase 3A.
Case Z-00-026
Clayton Husband presented the case to the Commission. Discussion ensued about the
connection of Van Oaks Drive and the need for a cul-de-sac and other options for turnarounds
and access, and the need to consider these issues at the time of zoning.
Chairman Hart opened the public hearing. Those present wishing to speak were:
Larry Cole, 6420 Remington Parkway, representing the case. He spoke about the benefits of a
standard access with an emergency gate to the City rather than no additional access to Van Oaks
Drive. He said that Remington Park has enough exits to satisfy any emergencies, but the citizens
on Van Oaks would benefit in an emergency. Discussion ensued about the current street access
to the last residential lots on Van Oaks and options to access the lots. He said that it would be
cost prohibitive to construct a cul-de-sac for one lot since there is very little traffic on the street.
Mike Richart, 308 W. Van Oaks, owner, said that no one on Van Oaks want the street to be a
through street. He said that the developer is offering a compromise. He said that there are very
few lots on the street with very little traffic and if anyone goes to the end of the street, they use
his driveway to turn around. He said that there has never been a problem with that situation.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Rutherford moved to recommend approval of the zoning change request.
Commissioner Collins seconded the motion. The vote being:
Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hill, Hart
Noes: None
7. PUBLIC HEARING - A Zoning Change requested by Burk Collins, from CC3, PUD-C, CN &
R20 to PUD-C (planned unit development-commercial) with a SUP for alcoholic beverage
sales on 15.856 acres located between Cheek Sparger Rd., Felps Drive, Acuff Lane &
Colleyville Blvd. - Colleyville Commons. Case Z-00-027
Clayton Husband presented the case to the Commission. Chairman Hart opened the public
hearing.
Burk Collins, applicant, was present to represent the case. He said that he has a grocery anchor
store and a retail shopping center in the front portion of the property and office/showrooms on the
property along Felps Drive. He said that Wal-Mart is proposing to construct a grocery store that
is not a super center nor is a regular Wal-Mart store, but one of their new concept stores. Mr.
Collins said that it was their original plan to only develop the retail and grocery anchor store, but
due to the layout of streets around the larger parcel, the parcels behind the shopping center would
Planning & Zoning Commission
Minutes - April 24, 2000
Page 6 of 12
become land-locked. He said that the office/showroom concept was the answer to that problem
and they realize that the City will require a higher design standard. He said that he, the City
Manager, and Mike Soab went to two homeowners associations in the area to receive their input
and incorporated comments into the design. He said that he thought they were doing what was
right and are open for suggestions and believes that the project is better than what is there now
and will generate tax revenues for the City.
Neil Strassman, 134 Felps Court, said that he is in favor of economic development along
Colleyville Blvd., but wants to see quality development, not more lube, oil change shops or self
storage facilities. He said that the proposed development goes too deeply into the quiet
residential community and it should be scaled back to a more appropriate distance from the
boulevard. He said that a Whole Foods Market or an upscale H.E.B. Market would be more
desirable than Wal-Mart. He said that he imagines Wal-Mart is hoping to undercut prices of the
three major grocery stores within a mile of the site. Mr. Strassman said that this community is not
interested in bargain basement groceries and it is safe to say that the community is seeking high
quality foods, and let the markets that are there now compete among themselves to offer citizens
the best items. He said that there is currently significant empty retail space on the boulevard
between Precinct Line Road and Glade Road, with a large former furniture store at Mayfair Village
being empty for two years. He sited other empty retail spaces. . He said that we are possibly
overbuilding small retail stores in the community. Mr. Strassman said that he wants wise
decisions being made for development along the boulevard with classy stuff not garbage and is
opposed to windfalls for the developers that will not serve the community and that is what this
proposal appears to be. He said that a 15 acre development is too large and will lead to more
traffic in the neighborhood with large delivery trucks, storm water runoff from oily parking lots, the
problems associated with mixing alcohol sales and traffic. He said that he lives about 214' away
from the project and was not given notice and the proper thing was not done by not contacting
people who live closest to the area. Mr. Strassman said that office/showrooms sound like a weak
proposal and with all of the vacant retail already in the are, they could remain vacant.
Fred Skoog, 127 Cheek Sparger Road, said that he has a number of concerns and there is water
in the pond that will be paved over. He said that there are many trees in the area the could be
bull dozed flat and the trees along the south side of the property are the only buffer. He said that
he has concerns about the road transitions in the area to allow big trucks to enter the loading
docks. He said that he is concerned about light pollution with the use of security lights, alcoholic
beverages sales, economic hardships for residential lots to the south, added traffic, and the
amount of limited information being supplied by the developer. He said that the common driveway
he shares with his neighbor is used to prevent having to back out onto Cheek Sparger Road and
is often times used by the public and is concerned that it could be used by trucks missing the
turnoff into the project. He said that he is concerned for the safety of his grandchildren.
Rich Ulery, 123 Cheek Sparger, said that he moved into the area a year ago and would not have
moved his family with little children to the area if he had known that a project like this could be
developed.

Barry Whitmire, 3805 Oak Briar Lane, said that he is opposed to office/showrooms that translate
to office/warehouse that could be small businesses like lawn mowing companies, carpet cleaning,
etc. with a handful of service vehicles and labor type help hanging around the building.
Del Bartlet, 3805 Felps Court, said that he was attacked by a gang three years ago at the
intersection and is violently opposed to the development. He said that the developers do not live
in the area nor did they talk to the people who live closest to the development.
Curtis McKeown, 4105 Felps Drive, and has been in the wholesale grocery business since 1950.
He said that if for no other reason to be against the development, Wal-Mark closed down 860
independent grocery stores in the state if Texas by undercutting their prices. He said that exiting
Felps onto Cheek Sparger or Acuff onto Colleyville Blvd. in the morning is almost an impossibility.
He said that he is also concerned about drainage problems.
Brian Dunn, 3809 Felps Court, said that he is opposed because it is currently a quiet area and at
night they can hear the Tarantula train and that atmosphere will be disturbed. He said that he is
opposed to truck access off Cheek Sparger and alcoholic beverage sales. He said that rezoning
signs are difficult to find and he has concerns about declining property values.
Olivia Locker, 116 Cheek Sparger, spoke in favor. She said that in the last 10 years, she has had
three offers and Burk Collins has put more effort into the plans and has a good plan for Colleyville.
Peggy Dennie, 200 Cheek Sparger, spoke in favor. She said that people opposed to alcoholic
beverage sales probably drive down the road farther to the other grocery stores to purchase beer
and wine. She said that there are 15 acres that have promise of clean businesses being
established and she has put up with the filth of other area business and has cleaned up after
them. She said that Mr. Collins wants to develop the property correctly and do away with the
water problems and clean up the area. Mrs. Dennie said that there are currently snakes including
water moccasins and copperheads in the area and she appreciates Mr. Collins efforts to clean
up the area and do what is right for Colleyville.
Susie Dunn, 3805 Felps Court, said that she has concerns about alcoholic beverage sales so
close to Cheek Sparger which is a small dangerous road. She said she has concerns about truck
access, office/showroom lighting onto neighborhood properties and lack of fac;ade details for the
buildings facing onto Felps Drive.
Virginia Garrett, 128 Cheek Sparger Road, said that there has been meanness in the vicinity for
the 32 years they have lived there. She said that the talk of widening Cheek Sparger has
prevented the sale of her property and this is her opportunity to sell her 1 % acres. She said that
she is a widow and maintaining the property is a burden and she would like to sell.
Wanda Knight, 3917 Felps Court, said that she is concerned with the possibility of obtrusive lights
and increased traffic. She said that Colleyville is growing much too fast as there are already 3

grocery stores in the area. She said that she would like to see a green belt, and a noise barrier
to be included in the project.
Jim French, said that he has the commercial development to the north and the City made him
comply with all of the PUD requirements and he had to describe all aspects of his development.
He said that he is challenging the Commission to ask the developer to present their project on
paper.
Steven Cox, 309 Cheek Sparger, said that there have been 7 accidents in front of his house since
he moved recently into the area and there would have been more if Cheek Sparger weren't closed
for construction. He said that he is in favor of the enhancements associated with the project,
however bringing the project to Felps and Wal-Mart is not what the area residents want.
Joe Massimo, 215 Cheek Sparger, where his daughter and her two small children live. He said
that Cheek Sparger is very dangerous and the development should be kept on Colleyville Blvd.
He said that he is concerned about the negative effect the project and additional traffic will have
of people's lives in the area.
Vonnie Patterson, 313 Cheek Sparger, said that he is concerned about the hazards of Cheek
Sparger. He said that it is a dumping ground and he has to pick up beer and coke bottles every
day. He stated concerns that someone will get killed someday in the culvert. Mr. Patterson said
that he is in favor of developing the front part of the project along Colleyville Blvd., but not back
to Felps Drive.
Joe Moore, 133 Acuff, said that he is a part of the buy-out, but he is speaking as a municipal
employee. He said that 13 years ago he looked at the Future Land Use Map when he purchased
his house and the property was commercial. He told the Commission that they have the same
blue print to follow and this is an area of town that needs to be cleaned up. Mr. Moore said that
through regulations and the permitting process, traffic, drainage, and lighting can be correctly
installed and the area will be developed and it is better to look at the overall project rather than
piece-meal the area's development. He said that emotions are high, but the Commissioners
should weigh the emotions with their responsibility to move the city forward.
Trent Podsednick, 125 Felps Ct., stated concerns about the traffic flow and said the entrance to
his subdivision is within 200'. He said that the curve in Cheek Sparger is dangerous and even
with a traffic light, cars would not be able to stop in time. He said that the project reaches too far
back into the residential area.
Rob McKowen, 4013 Felps, stated he has concerns about water runoff and increased traffic.
Everret Greer, 4001 Felps Drive, said that he wants a sound barrier and is only in favor of a 6'
high brick wall along the west side of Felps Drive and wants no exit onto Felps Drive. He said that
he is opposed to the project.

Sam Ogden, 606 Green Meadow N., stated concerns about the need for quality development in
the area and wants to ensure that Colleyville standards are met. He expressed concerns about
additional traffic.
Paul Dennie, 200 Cheek Sparger, said that he never drank in his life nor does he promote
alcoholic beverage sales. He said that others were not opposed when the other grocery stores
started selling alcoholic beverages. He said that the drainage problems are not Burk Collins'
problems, they are the City's problems, yet Mr. Collins will correct them, and the City needs to
address all traffic problems. He said that the development will enhance the city. He said that he
has driven in this area since 1965 and has driven without problems, so maybe the reports are
blown out of proportion. He supports the project.
Del Bartlet said that the only people who spoke in support of the project are those who are selling
their property and are going to make money off of it. He said that the ones left behind will be the
ones to suffer.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, Chairman Hart closed the public hearing.
Burk Collins came forward to address the public comments. He apologized for having missed so
many people for advance notice of the project. He said that he was given the Homeowners
Associations names and held a meeting with 60 people at the Colleyville Community Center. He
said in response to the alcoholic beverage and crime issue that he lived in Bedford before moving
to Colleyville and was violently attacked in his home and there was no alcohol sold around his
house. He said that when he moved to Colleyville he could go to Northeast Mall in 15 minutes,
and now it takes him 20 minutes to get from his house on John McCain to Colleyville Blvd. He
said that he doesn't complain about it because traffic is a product of the world we live in. He said
that the service station on the corner of Cheek Sparger and Colleyville Blvd. is putting in a
convenience store that will sell alcoholic beverage and those sales will take place whether or not
he does this project.
Commissioner Edwards raised questions regarding the office design and wanted examples of CC-
1 building designs. She raised questions about traffic signals, wetlands problems, hours of
operation, and the Chevron. Mr. Collins said that he plans on building higher end buildings for
people with computer type or architectural type businesses. He said that he initially did not want
the back portion of the property, but when you look at the street layouts, nobody would every build
a house on Felps Drive. Mr. Collins said that heavy landscaping would be used to buffer the
residential properties. Mr. Collins said that the city sets the standards to deal with the wetlands
problem and they will meet the requirements. He said that the Wal-Mart is a 24 hour operation
and the Chevron station is not part of his project, but he understands that they will be selling
alcoholic beverages.
Commissioner Fletcher had questions about potential tenants. He said that there are already too
many oil change shops and wondered if Mr. Collins is proposing any of them for his project. Mr.
Collins said that economics would not allow that use with $18 to $20 rent space. The tenants that
Planning & Zoning Commission
Minutes - April 24, 2000
Page 10 of 12
would be more in line are Hollywood Video or Hallmark or higher end retail uses. Commissioner
Fletcher said that the mixed residential with commercial uses seem to be a problem with the
residents. He asked Mr. Collins if he world be opposed to increased setbacks along Felps Drive.
Mr. Collins responded that the architect would have to look at the project, but he thought they had
a good buffer with a lot of trees and berms in the area and he plans to heavily landscape the area.
Commissioner Fletcher encouraged an additional buffer along Cheek Sparger so that in the future
there is an option to have the space available. Mr. Collins said that he was told by staff that he
would have to provide an additional 10' wide bike trail in the area and a buffer with a bike trail
could possibly cut down on the size of available area to develop may hurt the cost of
development.
Commissioner Hill said that many of the people who spoke tonight were not included in the design
phase of the project. He encouraged Mr. Collins to meet with the neighbors and table the case
until after that meeting took place.
Commissioner Rutherford had questions about the obtrusive lights associated with the project.
Mr. Collins said that grocery stores react to the public's demands and provide lights for when
women shop at night in order to feel safe. He said that he has visited other Wal-Mart grocery
stores and they are quality business that sells cheaper and he believes that the public would like
that. He said that the office/showroom buildings would have small lights that do not shine into the
neighbors properties.
Commissioner Edwards asked Mr. Collins if he intended the SUP for alcoholic beverage sales to
be for the entire project or just the grocery store. Mr. Collins said that he would only want the SUP
on the retail uses.
Commissioner Collins questioned who were the Homeowner Associations that Mr. Collins met
with. Bill Stimmels, Burk Collins Development, responded that he held two meeting in early March
with Woodbriar Homeowners Association and Bridlewood Homeowners Association and they
were not aware that there were numerous other groups to include. They met with the large
groups and are not trying to hide anything, as it is sometimes impossible to contact every
homeowner in the area, so they went with the large groups.
Commissioner Fletcher asked questions about where Cheek Sparger narrows from a 4 lane road
to a 2 lane road. He said that the trucks servicing the project will be entering off a narrow road
where there are bar ditches along the south of the road. He said that it is a serious concern to
him and asked if Mr. Collins has ideas in restricting their entrance to the Colleyville Blvd. side or
improving the entrances. Mr. Collins said that the City staff would advise him of what
improvements he needs to make.
Commissioner Edwards asked Mike Soab, Economic Development Manager, if he had
demographics to support another grocery store in Colleyville. Mr. Soab responded that Wal-Mart
answers that question by wanting to be there and they are the experts in finding locations to build
on. Mr. Soab said he asked Mr. Collins to meet with the area residents in order to prevent similar
Planning & Zoning Commission
Minutes - April 24, 2000
Page 11 of 12
problems Wal-Mart has encountered building in other communities. He said that he developed
volumes of names and apologized to the developer and to the residents who were not notified
stating that the list was not extensive enough. Mr. Soab said that grocery stores can generate
from $300 to $800 per square foot in tax revenues and this is a fairly small store for a
neighborhood project. He said that this is a very difficult site to develop because of having 14 to
16 different property owners and the wetlands problem and he commends anyone trying to
develop the site.
Discussion ensued about the conditions of Cheek Sparger Road.
Commissioner Fletcher suggested that the developer break down the project into two zoning
cases with two different development standards.
Commissioner Collins moved to table the case. Commissioner Fletcher seconded the
motion. The vote being:
Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hill, Hart
Noes: None
The Commission encouraged the developer to meet with the citizens in order to discuss solutions
to any problems prior to the next meeting. Chairman Hart said that he would be inclined to reopen
the public hearing at the next meeting.
