3. Citizen's Input.
Woodrow Barton, 807 N. 7"`, suggested the City start thinking about a new City Hall
Building.
City Manager indicated Mike Dobrovolsky had given them a list of trees that he
recommended for the City of Sanger.
4. Consider and Possible Action on Ordinance #03-06-04 -Amending Exterior Facade
Requirements for Residential Dwellings.
City Manager indicated this was put on the agenda at the request of a Councilman.
Staff is bringing the ordinance to the Council, so they may consider if they want to
change it to 100% masonry requirement on residential.
Mayor read caption:
THAT CHAPTER 3, ARTICLE 361900 EXTERIOR CONSTRUCTION OF
RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
SANGER, TEXAS, IS HEREBY AMENDED; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF
0
000�
ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE;
PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Manager indicated it would be new construction only.
Councilman Higgs asked about siding on the porches and in the entry ways.
Discussed different construction of porches, entry ways, and gables.
Councilman James indicated he would like to see it more than 75%9 but that he was not
sure of the impact on the builders. Usually Masonite is used on two sides of the porch,
he was not trying to pick on custom builders but some of the lower end homes used a lot
of siding. He had no problem with 100% from the plate level down.
Danny Cockrell asked if this would affect all new permits or new subdivisions.
Discussion.
Council discussed that if a Final Plat has been approved on a subdivision, the rules in
effect on that final plat will apply.
Joe Smith, indicated that Plano has an ordinance that says the structure has to be a
minimum of 80% brick. Through the permitting it is controlled, the whole thing has
to be a minimum of 80%.
Shelley Ruland indicated it may limit some of the creativity, and the city may get cookie
cutter houses if they have to be all brick She felt they would be limiting some builders
who are now putting together some very nice homes.
Councilman Evans moved to adopt OrdinanceCouncilman Garza seconded.
Motion carried 4 to 1, Councilman Ervin voted no.
5. Consider and Possible Action on Preliminary Plat for Sable Creek Addition.
Melvin January, consulting engineer, addressed the Council. He presented a plat
almost the same as presented to the Planning and Zoning, they were a little mistaken
about the area they were donating to the city. He failed to say he would dedicate all of
the flood plain. At the present time, 3.29 acres is outside the flood plain, the total is
11.33 acres. In most towns he has worked in, most of the athletic fields are in flood
plains. The subdivision regulations do not prohibit land in the flood plain.
Mayor indicted he did not see sidewalks or alleys, and the utilities are in the streets.
Mr. January indicated they do not usually show sidewalks, but they do show right of
ways. He pointed out a road section detail. The detail shows minimum 4 ft sidewalks
along all streets on both sides with handicap ramps on all corners.
Councilman Evans asked about the alleys.
Mr. January indicated he did not see any other subdivisions with alleys.
Mayor indicated that just because it was not done in the past does not mean they don't
require it.
All of the water, telephone cables and gas will be in the rights of way of the street,
behind the curb, only storm sewer and sanitary sewer will be in the street.
Discussed other two lanes of Indian Trail will be built when commercial is built. Mr.
January indicated that if it is Council's desire that they are built prior to that, they will
do
Councilman James asked why they wouldn't put an outlet to Indian Lane.
Mr. January indicated they would prefer not to have cut through traffic coming
through the subdivision. They will put in pedestrian walks along Indian Lane.
Discussed thorough fares.
Councilman Evans asked about access to parks.
Mr. January indicated they have McReynolds Road to access it.
Councilman Evans indicated they told Planning and Zoning they would put in a road.
Joe Smith indicated they said they would put in a walk way, not a road.
Councilman Evans indicated he wanted a road.
Mr. January indicated they would provide a walkway of sorts, preferably clay base
with cinder, and will provide screening as well from the houses.
Shelley Ruland indicated they had asked for pedestrian access.
Mayor indicated there are two 15 ft. easements on the West side.
Polly Dwyer indicated there was problem getting over the creek.
no
Smith indicated they will not own it, they will give it to the City, but he will build
a bridge over the creek.
Mr. January indicated if he was designing the parks, he would put in a parkthat would
have access off of Kirkpatrick to avoid traffic and give access to the general public.
Councilman James indicated the developers always give the worst land for
development. He felt they should develop a park in the middle of the subdivision so that
the citizens could use it.
Discussion continued regarding the park.
Discussed lot sizes.
Mr. January indicated the builder, that has expressed interest in the subdivision,
wanted a 65 ft. deep pad, if they do that with a 65 ft wide lot they would have an 8500
sq ft lot. If they do that they can go back to the builder and see if they could live with
a smaller pad. If they change the lot width they will change the lot depth to maintain
a 7000 square foot Iot. The space between the houses will be the same.
Discussed parks and lot sizes.
Mr. January indicated he did not think the city would want a bunch of small parks, it
makes sense to have your parks located in large spaces where you can maintain them
and accommodate bigger crowds.
Councilman Evans asked the P&Z how they were feeling.
Ralph Cain indicated when he voted yes, he wished he had voted no - he disagreed with
everyone that says the park shouldn't be in the center. We are getting land that cannot
be used for anything and calling it a park Are we designating a safe place for the kids
to play?
Jesse Lynch, agreed with Ralph on the park, be a lot better to be in the center. It won't
get overrun with traffic.
Polly Dwyer indicated getting the 3+acres outside of the flood plain was great, better
than some, she had issues with the lot sizes, but given the plan realized the developer
felt they were giving as much as they could.
Liz Springer asked if there was a creek through the subdivision.
Mayor indicated Ranger Creek went through one side.
Discussion regarding creek and flood plain.
Councilman James asked if the road improvement was discussed at P&Z.
Shelley Ruland indicated they asked for extra right of way.
Councilman James cited ordinance 6.02b, and indicated the developer is responsible to
pay half the street section of all perimeters to the subdivision.
Discussed streets.
Mr. January indicated that the developers are family people and they resent the
implication that they don't like children. The issue with respect to the road is that if
the ordinance requires it they will do it. If Ranger Creek pays for half of McReynolds
Road, they will pay for the other half.
Councilman Evans asked what others were doing.
City Manager indicated the Falls property was platted over 20 years ago. Lake Ridge
will do their side of the street if the dam is moved. Quail Run did the road by their
subdivision.
Mr. January indicated they will pave the street if the Council requires.
Councilman James indicated he still had a problem with the variance on the lot size.
Discussion.
Councilman Garza asked if they were going to meet all setback requirements.
Mr. January indicated they would.
Discussed lot sizes, driveways, setbacks, etc.
Councilman Evans asked if they could put this off and get everything submitted the way
they want it.
Joe Smith indicated he did not like to leave in limbo, he would just as soon have it
denied. They have a contract and a builder, and they do not have the luxury of extra
time.
Councilman Higgs asked about driveways.
Mr. January indicated their will be a combination of rear, front and side entry garages.
Councilman James asked if the preliminary plat does not show sidewalks are they
required tp put them in.
Staff indicated they were shown on page four and they are required to put them in.
Councilman Evans indicated he the developer had given the walkway, the road for two
years, will fix the road on Indian Trail, and help on McReynolds Road; the only
problem he has is the lot size.
Joe Smith indicated the zoning allows 7000 square feet, the only difference is the lot
width.
Councilman Higgs indicated he would like to know each ones number one concern.
Councilman James indicated he did not like the layout of the entire development, does
not like small lot sizes, or park location. He did not feel comfortable making a motion
with all the things discussed, there is nothing in writing or on the plat.
Joe Smith asked if they do realize this is the preliminary plat. They will not bring back
a final without all of the items the Council has indicated they want.
Councilman Ervin, would like park closer to the center of subdivision. Maybe half of
it could be in the center, and he felt they should stick with the ordinance on lot sizes.
Councilman Garza indicated he did not like the park size. He asked the City Engineer
if he had any concerns.
City Engineer indicated they have addressed all of his concerns.
Councilman Higgs indicated 7000 square feet is still 7000 square feet no matter what
shape. He was concerned about the park area, and the safety of children around the
creek.
Joe Smith indicated he felt there was too much of a negative connotation when you talk
about flood plain. It's only two or three times out of a hundred years that it might
flood.
Discussion continued.
Councilman Higgs moved to accept the Preliminary Plat for Sable Creek. Councilman
Evans seconded. Motion carried 4 to 1. Councilman Garza voted no.
6. Consider and Possible Action on Proclamation #03-01-04 -Proclaiming the Month of
March 2004 as American Red Cross Month in the City of Sanger.
Councilman James moved to approve Proclamation #03-01-04. Councilman Higgs
seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
7. Consider and Possible Action Regarding Sidewalk Repair, Handicap Ramps and
Designation of Handicap Parking Spaces.
Councilman James moved to hold off on sidewalk repair for 60 days and give the
citizens time to work on it and come back to them with a plan, and that at that point
they will begin repair on the sidewalks. Councilman Ervin seconded.
Councilman Higgs indicated they are trying to find grants, he did not want to begin the
project before the plan was complete and they knew where the funds would come from.
City Secretary indicated the Texas Capital Grant applications should be available some
time in April. The maximum on the grant is $150,000.00. The grant will cover sidewalk
repair.
John Springer asked the Council to at least consider a plan, and not set an arbitrary
date.
Mayor asked if Jeff Springer indicated when he could meet with the Mayor.
John Springer indicated Jeff cannot meet with him the following day but will set an
appointment to meet with him.
Mr. Springer asked that they postpone it one Council meeting.
Councilman James rescinded his motion.
Mayor tabled item until he could meet with Jeff Springer.
8. Meeting Adjourned.

Re: Tattoo/Piercing Shop
Attached is a copy of the E-mail from Mr. Dillard regarding this item. The Planning and Zoning
Commission moved to "deny classification of this type business into a zoning category".
A copy of the letter from the business owners and the letter from the bung inspector is also
attached.
Basically, the Council may take no action, accept Planning and Zoning's recommendation, or make
a determination of a category and send it back to the Planning and Zoning and request they hold
public hearings to amend the ordinance. The last option is to do the last of the above options, and
require a specific use permit, which will allow council to monitor the location of this type business.

§37.1 (3) of the Zoning Ordinance says: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit its fmdings and
��
recommendations to the City Council as to the classification proposed for any new or unlisted use...."
From what you say, P&Z has determined that aTattoo/Piercing Shop is not now a permitted use in any district and is
recommending that such a use not be authorized in the City. This is a recommendation to Council which must now review
that and decide whether to take no action or refer it back to P&Z with instructions to call a public hearing etc to amend the
zoning ordinance and include the use in some district in the City.
The second sentence of §37.1 says: "The City Council shall by resolution approve the recommendation of the ...Commission
or make such determination concerning the classification of such use as is determined based upon its findinas."
I hope this answers your questions.

Mr. Dillard -
The Planning and Zoning Commission met tonight regarding the Tatto/Piercing shop we had discussed. The
motion was to deny classification of this type business into a zoning category. It carried unanimously. Do we
still send it to the City Council?? All of us are confused...

to play in a kitchen tool band, then they got to pop corn in an air -popper . In the "Eating and
Sharing" program several children mastered "Pease Porridge Hot" and were very proud of
themselves. After the "Yum! and Yuck!" program, kids got to make trail mix with their choice
of ingredients.
