FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH: SITE PLAN REVIEW

plan review to Dan Boutwell of Freese and Nichols. Mr.
Boutwell had the following concerns with the plan:
1. Mr. Boutwell indicated there should be a firelane on the
drive.
2. The existing land uses of the adjacent property should be
indicated on the plan.
3. The percentage of masonary should be indicated.
4. The type of screening to any adjoining land should be
shown.
5. Landscaping plans need to be submitted.
6. Property should be platted,; Final platting should be
approved by the p & Z and the City Council.
7. Mr. Boutwell was concerned with the drainage due to the

DEDICATION OF PARK LAND

PERMIT FEE FOR POOL CONSTRUCTION
Commissioner Reuss: Commissioner Reuss felt this was a M.U.D.
issue and not the P & Z's concern.
Chariman Alexander stated he felt the City should have the
authority to regulate pool construction. It should be ir,
ordinance form to insure enforcement and compliance with
easements, setbacks and fence requirements. Chairman
Alexander will coordinate with the M.U.D. '
The Commission members felt that any fee should cover the
cost of inspection only if enacted and rot duplicate M.U.D.
pro..^-adures.
TREE PRESERVATION AND LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE
Mr. Boutwell recommended they be conbined into one ordinance.
Commissioner Tynes made a motion that a tree preservation and
landscaping ordinance be designed using the City of
Grapevine's ordinance as a model. A grandfather clause should
be included to omit all existing development to date. The
ordinance should apply to all land uses and apply to new
development from the point of inception forward. A set time
from point of occupancy that would require landscaping should
be set. Commissioner Reuss seconded.
Chairman Alexander suggested that an incentive program be
considered as an alternative to trying to enforce an
ordinance. The City could supply trees to the Citizens at a
subsidized cost.
The motion was passed unanimously. Mr. Boutwell will draft an
ordinance for our review and recommendations before
submitting to the City Council.
STREET AND STORM SEWER ORDINANCE
Mr. Boutwell recommended that the Commission go to the
N.C.T.O.G. and obtain "Standard Specifications for Public
Works Construction". This work is a model that most City's
have based their ordinances on. He also submitted a written
presentation on street design and sewer standards.
Commissioner Reuss made a motion for Freese and Nichols to
draw up a combined ordinance, (streets and sewers), based or,
his written recommendation which includes the City of Plano
specifications and the N.C.T.O.G. "Standard Specifications".
The motion was withdrawn.
Commissioner Aerstin was assigned to review street and storm
drainage material and make a report at the next meeting.
The next meeting will be March 10.
Meeting adjourned.
