PRESENT: Mayor Stephens; Council Members Alexander, Boyd, Gorton, Hopkins and McAdams. ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Ayer 1. The Council held a discussion regarding the Denton Housing Authority. Charles Glasgow, Chairman-Denton Housing Authority, stated that the Authority appreciated the help received from the City regarding security problems at the Phoenix Apartments. The result was improved and increased police protection from the COPS program and services were now excellent. The Authority also appreciated the proposed funds for repairing the roofs at the Heritage Oaks. He invited ,Council to attend a meeting with the Board of Commissioners to discuss matters of the Housing Authority at any time. He also stated his appreciation of Marion Hamilton, Director, who had made great improvements since her employment. Marion Hamilton, Executive Director-Denton Housing Authority, presented the background history of the Housing Authority. She stated that the debt service had been caught up and that the Phoenix Apartments would be paid off in 5 years. Residents of the Phoenix Apartments had asked for increased security and a library. The COPS program was providing the increased security and with the help of donations from various organizations, a library had been set up. A concentration had been made on keeping maintenance up on the apartments so that they would be clean when a new resident moved in and drapes and blinds had been installed to help increase the tenants feeling of good self-worth. TWU was opening a health care center in October at the Apartments. Council Member McAdams asked what the average time of stay on a waiting list was for the Heritage Oaks or Phoenix Apartments. Hamilton replied that with the Heritage Oaks, the average waiting time was one to one and a half years. The Phoenix Apartments waiting list time was any where from six weeks to six months. Hamilton continued that there were now federal preference categories which included homeless without housing, substandard housing and income in which 50% of the income was used for housing. The homeless had top priority and were always moved to the top of the waiting list. People living in substandard housing were also referred to SPAN, RSVP and Community Development for help until they could be serviced by the Housing Authority. City of Denton City Council Minutes August 1,1989 Page 2 Council Member McAdams felt that more should be done for the people living in substandard housing. Both Hamilton and Glasgow agreed but stated that the Authority was forced to follow HUD guidelines. 2. The Council held a discussion regarding the proposed $outhview amended Concept Plan and Detail Plan. Frank Robbins, Executive Director for Planning, stated that the purpose of the work session on $outhview was to brief Council prior to the public hearing on August 15th and then presented the background of the development. The following was a portion of a memo from Robbins to the Council detailing the proposed changes: "LAYOUT CHANGES The configuration of several tracts have been changed as shown by the acreage changes on the "comparison" chart. These changes are a consequence of the following: Lakeview Blvd. between tracts 16 and 12 and tract 17 is moved to avoid a dense grove of trees. Tract 16 is larger, accordingly. The flood plain of the Pecan Creek tributary is protected, adding 15 acres of open space and substantially lowering the number of units and density previously authorized. The detail plan shows 162 fewer single family lots than authorized by the concept plan. The school/park site is enlarged by 9.1 acres. The open space is proposed to be maintained by the homeowners. Tract 12, neighborhood service is shaped differently, but the acreage remains the same at four acres. Tract 14, called SF10, while having 89 fewer lots, a lower density, and an average lot size of about 11,000 square feet, has smaller minimum lot sizes and lot dimensions. OTHER CHANGE The previous ordinance required fill for the school site to come from Lakeview Boulevard's excavation. This requirement is proposed to be removed, allowing fill for the school site to come from anywhere. 77 City of Denton City Council Minutes August l, 1989 Page 3 NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS Kevin McCormack's has requested that Street K in tract 16 be moved further to the west and that the buffering plan agreed to by the developers along Swisher in tract 10 be part of the adopted detail plan. Street K's location meets our ordinance standards. There is no buffer plan in Southview's detail plan in this area. Residents of Shady Shores, who own homes in the Hidden Valley Airpark, have ob)ected to the neighborhood service use being so close to their houses. The developer has scheduled meetings with the airpark owners. The Planning and Zoning Commission, having heard these concerns, made no recommendations for change at this time. Hidden Valley homeowners have indicated that they would be writing to Council. INFRASTRUCTURE Streets. No improvement schedule changes are proposed. Ail streets are shown on the detail plan and preliminary plat. Creek Crossing Drive, in the north of tract 14, is a temporary cul-de-sac in Tract 15. A traffic signal schedule and a pro rata cost sharing plan is proposed as follows: RMB Realty, Inc. will pay their proportionate share of the cost to construct the traffic signals at Lakeview Boulevard and Street B/F, Pockrus Page Road and Creek Crossing Drive based on an independent traffic study engineering study that establishes the need and )ustification based on T.M.U.T.C.D. signal warrants 1 through 8. The proportionate share will be based on the traffic generated by RMB Realty, Inc. Developments as a percent of the total: RMB Realty, Inc. will pay their proportionate share of the independent traffic engineering study. A boulevard landscaping plan is proposed. City of Denton City Council Minutes August 1, 1989 Page 4 DRAINAGE The main Pecan Creek tributary floodplain is protected and will be channelized only where Lakeview Boulevard and Creek Cross Drive cross it. Preliminary drainage plans have been approved by staff. WATER AND WASTEWATER The preliminary water and wastewater plans are attached and have been recommended for approval by P & Z. The Public Utility Board has recommended that the City participate in oversizing. The developers may be required to pay for only what their development generates a need which includes oversizing. Prior to final platting, an oversize agreement would have to be approved by City Council. The Public Utility Board's minutes are included. PRELIMINARY PLAT Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of the preliminary plat." 3. The Council was to hold a discussion regarding a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance by adding design standards for the Oak-Hickory Historic District. This item was not considered during the Work Session. 4. The Council did not meet in Executive Session during the Work Session. The Council then convened into the Regular Session at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. PRESENT: Mayor Stephens: Council Members Alexander, Boyd, Gorton, Hopkins and McAdams.

Reedy. The Mayor then presented a proclamation for "National Night Out". The Council then returned to the regular agenda order. 1. The Council considered approval of the minutes of the regular sessions of July 11 and July 18, 1989. Council Member Hopkins stated that she did not remember passing the ordinance prohibiting parking on Pennsylvania as stated in the minutes of July 11, 1989, page 8, rather only a portion of Pennsylvania had restricted parking. As presented, it was very vague and was misleading. City Secretary Jennifer Walters replied that the ordinance caption in the minutes was taken directly from the ordinance that the Council approved that night. Debra Drayovitch, City Attorney, stated that the captions normally state a "portion" of a street. That wording had been left out of the ordinance caption. The ordinance did provide for parking restrictions more detailed in nature. Council Member McAdams asked if the writing of the minutes must reflect the specific wording. City Attorney Drayovitch replied that the minutes had to state what was passed by Council and that the caption had already been published in the paper and would go into effect on August 2, 1989. Council Member McAdams asked if since the body of the ordinance was stated correctly, would the ordinance have to be republished in order to change the caption. City Attorney Drayovitch stated that the caption was not the actual law. Council Member Alexander asked if the minutes could be amended to be more descriptive of what wa~ pa~sed in addition to the actual caption. City Attorney Drayovitch replied yes. McAdams motioned, Gorton seconded to approve the minutes with the correction noted for the July 11, 1989 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. City of Denton City Council Minutes August 1, 1989 Page 6 Public Hearings A. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance setting a moratorium on the establishment of sexually oriented businesses. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval). The Mayor opened the public hearing. Dianne Edmondson stated that she was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and that the Chamber supported her position on the issue as well as having the support of several women's groups. She asked the Council to consider passage of the ordinance. Euline Brock, Chair-Planning and Zoning Commission, stated that she was appearing on behalf of the Planning and Zoning Commission. She stated that the Commission needed more time to establish correct procedures and ordinances. A thorough and careful study needed to be made to be sure that the City would not be legally vulnerable and to frame an ordinance that would be very carefully thought out. There was not a current problem in the City but due to the evidence that these businesses had a negative effect on the City, definitions needed to be correctly defined. The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended the proposed ordinance unaminously and urged the Council to do the same. Mayor Stephens asked if the proposed ordinance would include any current stores in Denton such as convenient stores selling magazines. Brock replied that there were no stores in Denton that specialized in that type of business. Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that the ordinance would not apply to existing businesses with that type of usage. No one spoke in opposition. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that staff had researched other cities with respect to secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses. Those effects included significantly higher street crimes in the area of the stores, higher sex-related crimes in areas of the stores, higher sale of drugs in the area of the stores, decreased property values in store areas, and a health impact on the community at-large due to patrons having an increased amount of sexually transmitted diseases. 81 '8 2 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 1, 1989 Page 7 The following ordinance was considered: NO. 89-095 AN ORDINANCE REGULATING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES BY PROHIBITING THEIR LOCATION WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT OR WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF A CHURCH, A PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ELEMENTARY OR SECONDARY SCHOOL, A DAY NURSERY OR KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL, THE BOUNDARY OF A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, A PUBLIC PARK ADJACENT TO A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, OR THE PROPERTY LINE OF A LOT DEVOTED TO A RESIDENTIAL USE, PENDING THE STUDY, REVIEW, AND DISCUSSION OF A PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGULATING SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES: PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY IN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SZ,O00.00 FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF; PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SIX MONTHS: AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. McAdams motioned, Alexander seconded to adopt the ordinance. On roll vote, McAdams "aye," Alexander "aye," Hopkins "aye," Gorton "aye," Boyd "aye," and Mayor Stephens "aye." Motion carried unanimously. B. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance amending Appendix B, Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances by adding design standards for the Oak-Hickory Historic District. (The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Historic Landmark Commission recommended approval). The Mayor opened the public hearing. Mike Cochran, Chair-Historic Landmark Commission, urged support and passage of the ordinance which would make regulations regarding the Historic District easier to define and participation easier for residents. Brian Patrick, President of the alumni association which owned a fraternity house in the District, was in favor of the ordinance but was concerned with the parking regulations and wind devices particularly the flying of different kinds of flags. Jane Finley, Director of the Main Street Program, stated that the Main Street Task Force felt the ordinance was an excellent prescident to set around the Central Business District. No one spoke in opposition. The Mayor closed the public hearing. City of Denton City Council Minutes August 1, 1989 Page 8 Elizabeth Evans, Planning Administrator, presented the boundaries of the Historic District. She presented slides showing guidelines for additions, new construction, and changes for certificates of appropriateness. The regulations would describe how the district would look in relation to each building and each lot in relation to other lots as well as to the buildings on one particular lot. The regulations would include colors, details of approches, entranceways, storm doors/windows, fencing, signs on commercial property and parking regulations. Council Member Hopkins asked about sign regulations for realtor signs. Lloyd Harrello City Manager, stated that the size would be the face of the sign, not the post or stakes. Evans stated that the fraternity house did not have a specific use permit but had been grandfathered in. They would not have to change their parking unless a new house were built. A discussion was held by Council as to what type of flags could be flown in the District and whether a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Landmark Commission would be required. Consensus of the Council was that the section defining wind devices needed to be clarified. Council Member Boyd proposed a motion to amend the ordinance in regards to wind devices. Mayor Stephens pointed out that there was no main motion on the floor at that time and perhaps Council would want to wait with amendments until the main motion had been made in case other areas of the ordinance needed to be revised. Council Member Hopkins expressed concern for the following areas in the proposed ordinance: whether metal fences were allowed or not, the size of commercial signs, were the only type of wind devices allowed flags so that a child's wind sock would not be permitted, what type of flags would be allowed, no notice provision was mentioned in the penalty section so that would a violator be ticketed without a warning. After a lengthy discussion regarding the above issues, Alexander motioned, McAdams seconded to postpone the ordinance until the first meeting in September and refer it back to staff for revisions. On roll vote, McAdams "aye," Alexander "aye," Hopkins "aye," Gorton "aye," Boyd "aye," and Mayor Stephens "aye."

At the end of July, the Appraisal District sent out a certified roll in which a 95% roll could be certified. On or before the middle of September, supplements to the roll were sent out which included protests to the District. The 1989 certified tax roll came in with a $10 million loss from the 1988 roll. There was a $197 million change from the preliminary roll to the certified roll. That was primarily due to the income method of determining value of strip shopping centers and apartments. Those property owners would wait until the preliminary rolls were out and then ask for valuation on income if the valuation was too high.
