Cori Gil, Utility Projects Coordinator, presented background information and the winners of the contest. 4. Citizen Reports A. The Council received a citizen report from Norman Eastwood regarding a development project - The Villas at Pecan Creek. Mr. Eastwood stated that he represented a proposed low income housing project. He was requesting a resolution of support from the Council for his proposal. He presented the details of the project and asked for Council support. Council Member Young asked about the security plans for the project. Eastwood stated that the project would be a gated development with a guardhouse. Council Member Cott asked if financing was in place. Eastwood replied yes through BankOne. B. The Council received a citizen report from Dessie Goodson regarding SPAN and the City of Denton. Ms. Goodson was not present at the meeting. C. The Council received a citizen report from Joe Dodd regarding the leasing of the T.I. property. Mr. Dodd stated that he had a serious problem with what had happened in the Legal Department in that a City Attorney would be the only voter at an election. He had a problem with the First Assistant City Attorney making speculations on what the Labor Party wanted with information they had requested and what they would do with that information. He still had a problem with the city Attorney making a statement that a Council Member could go to jail for speaking about Closed Session meeting~. He ~ugge~ted putting 150 City of Denton City Council Minutes October 1, 1996 Page 3 this issue up as a bond issue for the citizens to vote on. It was a bad idea to have this government buy the TI property. Many companies had looked at the property and decided not to buy it. He asked the Council to not buy the TI property. D. The Council received a citizen report from Roderick Courtney regarding City Policies Section 109.01 and 109.03. Mr. Courtney stated that his report was in reference to the City's personnel/employee disciplinary policies and procedures in conjunction to a post termination hearing for Diana Lopez. They were trying to settle matters in amicable terms but were not able to do so. Mr. Klinck was not cooperating and he felt Ms. Lopez was not able to have a fair and impartial hearing. They were unable to get a clear and reasonable interpretation of the policies through any official. In reference to Policy 109.12, page 14, he was asking for the documentation to support the termination. The policy indicated that there must be clear, specific and detailed justification for an action of dismissal. They had had many conversations with the Human Resources Department and no one was able to provide an interpretation nor a definition of what that paragraph meant. There was no litigation pending on this case. He was only asking for an interpretation of what the policies meant. He was requesting the City provide a clear and specific definition of the terms of those two policies. He requested the Council instruct the staff to provide reasonable interpretation of those policies. Council Member Young asked for an interpretation to those policies. Mike Bucek, Assistant City Attorney, stated that there was a process set out in which the City Manager had the right to hire and fire and how to discipline. There was a process which existed and those terms needed to be responded to in the hearing which they were already involved in. It was premature for Mr. Courtney to be raising those issues with the Council at this point in time. 5. Public Hearings A. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance amending the comprehensive zoning ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 7-0.) Frank Robbins, Director of Planning and Development, stated that this was the 24th meeting of a series of public hearings regarding this issue. There might not be enough time to go over the entire document in one meeting. It was felt that the Council could receive input at this point in time and have work sessions at a later meeting. The reorganization would make the document more user friendly for citizens to use with streamlined procedures. Changes included updating the Table of Permitted Uses and adding three new residential districts. City of Denton city Council Minutes October 1, 1996 Page 4 151 city Manager Benavides suggested holding the public hearing and hold a work session on October 22nd for further study. The Mayor opened the public hearing. Joe Dodd stated that he had not seen this version of this ordinance. He objected to the satellite portion of the ordinance. He requested Council consider the differences between the small and large satellite dishes as they received different frequencies and channels. The city should allow citizens a full range of options. Dale Irwin stated that he had a problem with the parking for the smaller multi-family lots. The owners of those lots were adversely affected with the current provisions. Jesse Coffey stated that 95% of the land developed in Denton in the past 35 years was done by Denton developers. The new zoning ordinance had not been distributed to the Homebuilders Association, the Denton Board of Realtors, or to the developers in the area. He asked to get the information out to those individuals. Council Member Biles stated that there were many issues for many years associated with this project and he felt it would not be timely for Council to consider all of this information in such a short time period. He felt at least portions of the document needed to be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for reconsideration and additional action if necessary. Three specific areas were satellite dishes, parking in multi-family i zoning district areas, and the restriction of schools and churches to collector streets. Before Council voted on this issue, there was a need for a comprehensive work session on the issues. Biles motioned, Brock seconded to delay consideration of the ordinance pending a review of the three mentioned specific issues by the Planning and Zoning Commission and other areas if needed. Work sessions would be held on the issue before Council voted. Council Member Krueger questioned whether the public hearing needed to be closed before receiving a motion. Mayor Miller stated that this was a motion concerning the public hearing and was a continuation of the public hearing. Council Member Young suggested providing more information to the public on the proposal. There was a need for feedback from citizens. On roll vote, Beasley "aye", Brock "aye", Cott "aye", Krueger "aye", Young "aye", Biles "aye", and Mayor Miller "aye". Motion carried unanimously. B. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption of an ordinance to rezone 200.4 acres from Planned Development 103 (PD-103) t~ th~ Singl~ Family 16 (SF-16) zoning di~triGt. The 152 City of Denton city Council Minutes October 1, 1996 Page 5 subject property was located on the west side of Teasley, between Hobson and Londonderry. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0.) Frank Robbins, Director for Planning and Development, stated that this was a rezoning to meet a technical requirement to allow for a school in the area. There was no intent to build homes in the area. This was only rezoning to allow for the school in the area. Council Member Krueger stated that the notices which were sent out to residents within 200 feet of the proposal did not have any indication of the reason for the rezoning case. He suggested including the reasons in future notices. The Mayor opened the public hearing. No one spoke in favor. Jesse Coffey asked who was the petitioner to rezone. Council Member Krueger stated that this was a City initiated petition. Coffey asked if the City paid the fee to rezone the property. Mayor Miller replied no. Coffey asked if a school could be built in a planned development district. Assistant City Attorney Bucek stated that a public hearing was not a time for the Council or staff to be answering questions. Coffey felt that the reason for the rezoning was so that the School District would not have to go through the same procedures an individual would have to go through to work within a planned development. If the City was going to rezone this property from planned development to another district for the benefit of the School District, then the city should give everyone who had land zoned "planned development", an opportunity to rezone without a fee. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Council Member Cott stated that the whole area was a flood plain and one or two retention ponds would not correct that. There were problems in the area of the park. The running path did not work as it was under mud, the west side of the park wa~ a very dangerous area for children, and in the middle of the park were three to five acres of asphalt which had been dumped there before the park was built. The following ordinance was considered: City of Denton City Council Minutes October 1, 1996 Page 6 153 NO. 96-218 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR A CHANGE FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 103 (PD-103) ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION AND USE DESIGNATION TO THE SINGLE FAMILY 16 (SF-16) ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION AND USE DESIGNATION FOR 200.4 ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF TEASLE¥ LANE, BETWEEN LONDONDERRY LANE AND HOBSON LANE; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY IN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $2,000.00 FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Frank Robbins, Director for Planning and Development, stated that this was a planned development for 36 units. The property was in a moderate activity area and intensity would be under what was allocated for this area. The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the proposal adequately addressed all of the policies in the Denton Development Plan and recommended approval. The Mayor opened the public hearing. Marvin Morgan stated that he would be constructing 32 one bedroom and four bedroom apartments on the property. This was Phase II for the development. The apartments would be an asset to the neighborhood and the construction would be the same as the ones currently in the area. The Mayor closed the public hearing.
