Staff presented the case to the Commission. David Washington, 500 Grapevine Highway, was
present to represent the case. Following discussion by the Commission, Chairman Edwards
asked if there was anyone present in the audience who wished to speak. The following spoke:
Charles Walton, 6320 Westcoat, said that the commercial tax base is dwindling away and a strip
shopping center is not a good addition to the tax base. He would like to see a bowling center
and restaurant complex in the current ML district with no additional property taken for residential
use. Chris Way, 2202 Broad Oak Way, requested that the east corner of Longwood Drive be
dedicated to the City as parkland. She does not want commercial development on both sides
of Longwood Drive as it is the entrance of their subdivision. John Gallagher, 2306 Broadoak,
wants parkland on the east side of Longwood Drive. Angelo Cannatella, 7111 Colleyville,
pointed out that Lot 18 would be surrounded by commercial property on two sides and he is
opposed to a commercial/residential mix. Tom Stuckey, 6907 Upland, supports the proposal and
is happy to see more residential development in the area.

Commissioner Smyth moved to approve the zoning change request subject to the applicant
increasing the commercial portion along Longwood for approximately 350' and reshaping lots
4 and 5 and requiring the owner to deed the north east comer of Hwy 26 and Longwood Drive
to the City for future parkland. The motion died for a lack of a second.
Following further discussion, Commissioner Smyth moved to TABLE the case so that the
developer can address the issues of increasing the zoning change request to include the
northeast comer of Hwy. 26 and Longwood Drive and dedicating that portion to the city, and

motion. The vote being:
Ayes: Bolling, Lehnnann, Westennan, Hall, Smyth
