Mr.Schwanke gave a brief presentation regarding the "Kibbee"Addition"final plat.Mr.

addition crosses over the lot lines that were established by the Strother Addition that was
originally platted in 1956.Riggins Street is a single loaded street in 30'of right-of-way.
With the adjacent 10'utility easement this arrangement should be satisfactory.Additionally,
this lot incorporates a 60'old Interurban Texas Electric Railroad right-of-way.This area
within the old Interurban is shown as drainage and utility easement since it is interlaced with
2 electric lines,a sewer transmission line,and gas facilities.Mr.Schwanke also noted that
the staff has reviewed this plat and is recommending approval.
A motion was made by Mr.Hendricks to recommend to Council approval of the final plat.

7aye 0 nay 0 abstained
4.(a)Public Hearing
To consider public comment on a request by Anna Economic Development
Corporation,owner of the property,to change zoning on a 48.0040 acre tract known
as tract twenty-five of the Brantley,J.C Survey,A0114,located west of CR 427,
approximately 900 ft.south of CR 376.The tract is currently zoned Single Family
Estate (SFE)and the owner is requesting a Planned Development zoning on
approximately 10 acres of the tract to allow the establishment of a laser tag outdoor
park.
The Public Hearing opened at 7:35 p.m.
Mr.Schwanke gave a presentation regarding the zoning request and answered questions
from the Commission.The tract is heavily wooded and most of the quality trees will be
retained on the site.Some artificial bunkers and fence sections will be constructed.It is
anticipated that this request will have minimal impact on the surrounding property since the
tract is heavily wooded and the southern property line existing trees will be retained as a
natural buffer.Due to the location some of the facilities will be temporary in nature for a
period not to exceed eighteen (18)months.The remainder of the parent tract is anticipated
to be an industrial park.

5.(a)Public Hearing
To consider an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance changing the minimum lot size
in the "SFE"and the "AG"districts from 35,000 square feet to 43,560 square feet.
The Public Hearing opened at 7:56 p.m.
Mr.Schwanke gave a brief presentation regarding the zoning change.Traditionally,these
two zoning districts are found in the fringe portions of the urbanized areas of the city with
"SF-E"district being the holding zone for property after annexation.Many times these
areas do not have adequate or any existing wastewater service.The minimum size of a lot
for septic tank service is one (1)acre.This change would coordinate possible development
without misleading citizens that development can occur when lots are less than 1 acre but
without a wastewater collection system in the immediate area.Currently,it appears that all
"SF-E"and "AG"zoned properties that are platted have lots greater than or equal to 1 acre.
Mr.Schwanke noted that staff is recommending approval of this proposed Zoning
Ordinance change from 35,000 square feet to 43,500 square feet (one acre).
The Public Hearing closed at 7:59 p.m.
