Colleyville Development Limited Partnership. (East side of Colleyville Blvd. adjacent to
Longwood Drive)
Staff presented the case to the Commission. Chairman Edwards stated her concerns about the
number of homes on a cul-de-sac and would like the developer to investigate purchasing lots
within Longwood and connecting the street to Still Point Lane; the size of lots do not comply with
our current PUD ordinance; and the fear that a worse situation would be created by allowing
residential in the ML area as there currently could be room to create a CPO zoning district which
would allow a buffer between retail commercial along the highway and the current residents in
Longwood Estates. Chairman Edwards presented a marketing brochure from Drees homes
which falsely states that the property north of Longwood Estates is labeled "future residential
development".
Chairman Edwards opened the public hearing. Those present wishing to speak were: Van
Shear, 6911 Wandering Way, does not want continuation of ML and is in favor of the present
plan; Angelo Cannetella, 7111 Colleyville Blvd; in favor; Tom Julia, 6905 Upland Lane, in favor;
Jack Gallagher, 2306 Broadoak, in favor; Chris Leed, 6903 Genview, is concerned about safety
and would like the Longwood/HWY 26 intersection improved, and would like a guarantee that
the commercial development could be built with architectural controls so that the commercial
would look like residential structures; Chris Gillig, 6910 Upland Lane; would like specific controls
placed in the ordinance that would guarantee buffers, masonry fencing, and appealing entrance
design; Chris Marsh, 2202 Broadoak, in favor. There being no one else present wishing to
speak, the public hearing was closed.
David Washington, 500 Grapevine Highway, was present to represent the case. The
Commission would like to see an exhibit which addresses screening walls, continuation of trails,
reduction of entrances on HWY 26, and a condition in the zoning change ordinance that gives
the Planning and Zoning Commission the authority to review and approve a site plan. Following
discussion by the Commission, Commissioner Lebo moved to TABLE the case. Commissioner
Westerman seconded the case. The vote being:
Ayes: Smyth, Powell, Westerman, Lebo, Hall, McCollough, Edwards
Noes: None
4. Staff comments, reports and discussion items. Tom Niederauer, Senior Planner,

session. Doug Henderson reported to the Commission that City Council has requested
a joint meeting. The Commission agreed to propose April 11 as a meeting date.
