Minutes October 04, 1988CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 4, 1988
The Council convened into the Work Session at 5:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers.
PRESENT: Mayor Stephens; Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins; Council
Members Alexander, Ayer, Boyd, Gorton and McAdams.
ABSENT: None
1. The Council held a discussion of the proposed planned
development zoning of 867.8 acres of property located south of
U.S. Highway 380 and along Trinity Road and Lake Lewisville and
extending approximately 2,400 feet south of FM 426 and of
414.9 acres of property located approximately 1,200 feet north
of 1-35 and extending to Pecan Creek. (Z-88-013 and Z-1861)
Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, stated that this fairly majo~
zoning item had been before the Council on a n~mker of
different occasions in different forms. Staff ~ould be
reviewing for Council the zoning proposal that was scheduled
for the next regular meeting and the history of ~be z~ning
proposal as it had developed over the years. Staff ~ould also
be asking for requests from Council for additional i~fermation
needed before the next meeting.
Cecile Carson, Urban Planner, stated that staff was orig~ii3
requested by a property owner in the area to annex property in
1984. That owner was proposing a development for a mobile home
park and residential lots on 6000 square feet and estate lots
on 470 acres of property. The annexation was completed in
1984, but the owner did not proceed with any zoning changes at
that time. In 1985, Miller of Texas (now RMB Realty, Inc.),
began working with the staff to annex additional property and
consider a planned development for approximately 690 acres of
land (original zoning case dealt with by Council in 1986).
That proposal went to the Planning and Zoning Commission in
December of 1985 and was approved by a 3-2 vote and forwarded
to the Council in January of 1986. At that meeting, the
Council requested physical impact analysis, environmental
impact analysis and other information. The public hearing was.
tabled until February 4, 1986 when the Council recommended that
an ordinance be prepared. At that time, there were still a
number of questions in the staff's mind about ordinance
requirements, how improvements would be done, etc. and it took
about a year to prepare the ordinance which was adopted by the
Council on January 6, 1987. Before that document was approved,
the representatives of Miller of Texas and Metroplex
Engineering began presenting the staff with annexation and
zoning proposals for additional land. That included a 66 acre
parcel that abutted Highway 380 and extended to the south to
just north of Blagg Road and additional property in the south
(property now called Southview). The annexations were
completed for the property and staff worked with staff from
Carter and Burgess and RMB Realty, Inc. in an attempt to reduce

the density and intensity in Lakeview. In 1984, there was a
request for annexation and zoning for manufactured housing of
66.5 acres in the Southview area. This was an extremely
controversial request with area residents and based on a number
of factors, ~the request was denied. About a month later, a
proposal for SF-7 lots along Pockrus Road and estate lots along
Swisher Road was submitted along with the manufactured housing
subdivision on the remaining portion of the property. That
planned development was approved by the City in 1984. The
current request for Southview would request a repeal of past
zoning ordinances and replace it with a new proposal. After
working with RMB Realty and Carter and Burgess, staff received
a revised plan for zoning in June of 1987. The proposal was
not submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission until June
of 1988 for public hearing. In between there were a number of
questions about moderate intensity areas particularly in the
Southview area. That proposal was denied by Council early in
1988. The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the proposal
submitted in June of 1988 for Lakeview and the Southview
proposal was withdrawn from the agenda. After the zoning case
was denied by the Commission, the petitioners submitted a
revised proposal for Lakeview which was scheduled for the July
27, 1988 agenda. That proposal was recommended by a vote of
4-3 by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Southview
proposal again met with some opposition and concern from the
area residents. The petitioner requested that the item be
tabled until the September 14, 1988 agenda which would provide
them an opportunity to revise the plan and meet further with
the neighbors. At the September 14, 1988 meeting, the Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Southview
proposal. Carson reviewed the policies for zoning and how the
proposal met those policies. (Exhibit A).
Council Member Ayer asked why the amount of park land was
reduced in the Lakeview proposal.
Carson replied that there had been a reduction in the number of
units in the area so the standard for that area decreased.
Ayer asked if Southview had the same reason for park land
reduction.
Carson replied yes.
Council Member McAdams asked if the property that needed to be
elevated would be done so before the property was dedicated.
Carson replied that the Parks Department and the School
District had requested that the school site in the Southview
area either have materials placed where the property could be
elevated or elevate a tract so that there would be a large
enough area for a school. In the other areas, provisions had
not been made for that.

Council Member Ayer asked about the memorandum dated July 27,
1988 from Assistant City Attorney Joe Morris concerning the
dissolution of the RUD District. Would an ordinance be
presented either before or at the same time the Council was
considering the zoning case.
Harrell replied that the Attorney's office had prepared an
ordinance and needed an indication from Council on when they
wanted to consider the ordinance.
Consensus of the Council was to consider the ordinances
concerning the RUD and the zoning at the same meeting.
2. The Council held a discussion of the proposed new
Airport Master Lease Agreement.
Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, reviewed the language of the
form lease to be used for all the beginning negotiations for
future tenants at the Airport. The Master Lease would be
tailored to fit each specific contract.
Council Member Boyd stated that a lease would be hard to
administer if it deviated from the master lease due to the
length of the lease. He suggested making notes where a lease
deviated from the master lease.
Debra Drayovitch, City Attorney, felt that the master lease was
good as it set standards for all leases and established
performance standards.
3. The Council convened into the Executive Session to
discuss legal matters (considered intervention in Flow
Bankruptcy Proceedings), real estate (considered Fire Station
sites - pulled by staff), personnel and board appointments.
The Council convened into the Regular Sessio~ at 7:00 p.m. in
the Council Chambers.
PRESENT:
Mayor Stephens; Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins; Council
Members Alexander, Ayer, Boyd, Gorton and McAdams.
ABSENT: None

1. The Council received a citizen's report from Lloyd
McGuire concerning street venders and solicitation permits.
Mr. McGuire stated that he felt street vendors were starting to
make the City look like a slum. There needed to be some sort
of regulation in regards to type of operation on the streets.
Street vendors produced no revenue for the City and took
advantage of residents as there was no recourse if the
merchandise was poor. He presented a copy of an ordinance from
the City of Dallas regarding street vendors and asked the
Council to consider better regulations for street vendors.
2. The Council considered approval of a request from the
university of North Texas to hang banners from selected City
streets announcing UNT Homecoming 1988.
Susie Autrey, Office of Advancement, requested approval from
the Council to hang banners at the following streets: Locust
and Parkway, Eagle Drive and Avenue D, Hickory and Avenue A,
Avenue E and Highland, and Welch between Highland and Maple.
Alexander motioned, McAdams seconded to approve the request.
Motion carried unanimously.
e
Public Hearings
A. The Council considered a request for changing a
street name from Highview Court to Tree Crest Place. (The
Historic Landmark Commission and the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval.)
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
No one spoke in favor.
Jennifer Ragsdale, representative for the residents of Highview
Court, spoke in opposition. She displayed a map of Highview
Circle and Highview Court and stated that part of the problem
in the area was the fact that the street was not signed
properly at both ends of Highview Circle. Changing the street
signs to indicate Highview Circle or Highview Street at both
ends would eliminate a lot of confusion. It would be very
costly for the residents of Highview Court if the street name
were changed. She asked if a change had to be made, a 100 be
put in front of the house numbers on Highview Court. Ragsdale
listed 17 streets in the City of Denton with the exact same
problem and those residents were not being asked to change
their street names. She presented a petition against the name
change signed by the residents of Highview Court.

The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Elizabeth Evans, Planning Administrator, stated that this was a
request by a citizen living on Highview Circle which was
forwarded to the Historic Landmark Commission for
consideration. The Commission determined that a smaller number
of people would be affected by changing the name of Highview
Court than Highview Circle. A letter was sent to the residents
of Highview Court notifying them that a change was being
considered and requesting input for a new street name. The
Historic Landmark Commission recommended Tree Crest Place to
the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the name change to the City
Council.
Council Member McAdams asked if any consideration was given, if
the problem was based on the implementation of 911, of what the
City planned to do with all the other streets with a similar
problem.
Evans replied that a program would have to be implemented to
change other street names to bring the City into the 911 system.
McAdams stated that if this was a serious problem for 911 that
the Council should look at all of the streets with this problem
and not single out one street. If all of the streets needed to
be changed in order to make the system work, that was one thing
but doing one street at a time was not appropriate.
Council Member Alexander asked who from 911 stated that the
streets needed to be changed.
Evans replied that her information had come from the Fire
Department.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins stated that the residents on Highview
Court had received a notice from the Historic Landmark
Commission regarding a name change but the notice did not
invite the residents to the meeting. They did not understand
that they were to attend the meeting and thus did not
understand that they could also attend the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting. This should be a policy decision of the
city and not change a street name because a resident was
inconvenienced. Her understanding was that the request did not
come from 911 but from a citizen. If the Council was going to
change the street, then work sessions were needed with staff
and residents.

Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, stated that he would check with
the 911 Coordinator for the need to change street names where
similar street names were in place. If the Police and Fire
Departments were asked about operational problems they have,
similar street names would be a problem. Those departments
would recommend changing all similar sounding names.
Hopkins motioned, Alexander seconded to deny the ordinance.
Council Member Gorton stated that there seemed to be many
problems with street signs and that the signage should be
corrected.
Ayer motioned, Boyd seconded to postpone action for two months
pending further staff investigation. On roll vote, McAdams
"aye," Alexander "nay," Hopkins "nay," Gorton "nay," Ayer
"aye," Boyd "aye," and Mayor Stephens "aye." Motion carried
with a 4-3 vote.
B. The Council conducted a public hearing on the
renewal of a franchise agreement by and between the City and
Sammons Communications, Inc.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Gus Seligmann, Chairman - Cable Television Advisory Board,
presented the major terms of the agreement. (Exhibit B)
John Enlow, Manager of Sammons Communications, complemented
staff and the Cable Board for a very thorough review of the
operations.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
