PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO REVIEW A FINAL PLAT FOR "EAGLES
RIDGE" AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION
Chairman Hamper asked the developer to please recalculate the park due to the early meeting
with the parks committee.
The Commissioners reviewed Mr. Boutwell's letter of review on the final plat for Eagles Ridge.
The following were the two comments:
1. This final plat is in agreement with the preliminary plat.
2. The plat does not provide for easements located along the rear of the lots. This should
be provided.
Page 2, P&Z Mtg. 3/14/96
Mr. Harbin stated he would either delete note 2 or change the plat.
Chairman Hamper also noted the engineers concerns or comments must be addressed prior to the
Council's approval of the final plat.
Mr. Harbin stated they had met all but two of the concerns had been met and the others will be
met.
Commissioner Paige made a motion to approve the final plat for Eagles Ridge with the condition
that all the engineers concerns must be met. Commissioner Schaaf seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED POLICE
BUILDING AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION
Chairman Hamper updated the everyone on the process for the police building. He stated under
the law, the police building is exempt from the Town's Zoning Ordinance.
Chief Miller and Mr. Ron Hobbs, architect, gave a brief overview of the site plan for the police
building. The current housing for the Police Department does not meet ADA requirements. Mr.
Hobbs determined the needs and staffing and compared them with other cities.
The building is simple wood frame with vinyl wall covering. Every effort is being made to get the
building built quickly. It will be built offsite then placed on site to finish. It is approximately 6,800
sq. Ft. Existing parking will be used with the addition of two handicap access spaces. Landscaping
will be done. The finished floor will be 8" to 10" above the sidewalk with a recessed pad. Two
options on building material have been discussed, one being stucco, the other a brick veneer to be
applied on site.
Chief Miller further state that every portion of the building will be occupied. Hallways are 5' wide,
State of Texas requirement, and Five feet for an evidence closet.
One question asked, where will you test your sirens? Chief Miller responded with "we try to be
selective on where we test them and it will be done by a just barely touching the air horn. They
are tested at the beginning of each shift change and tested on site between the police building and
the public works building." He also note security lighting will be necessary. There is a five foot
metal mansard around the entire building to hide the flat roof
Commissioner Booker made a motion to recommend as presented to the Town Council for
approval. Commissioner Paige seconded; motion passed unanimously.
