759 that if property is already zoned commercial that retail or commercial businesses can go in there without it ever coming before the City Council. Councilman Manning said he would like to recommend that this property be zoned planned development with some type retaining wall all the way around the property with access only from the Loop 286, and assurances that none of these others are going to be open in the future. Councilman Manning made a motion that this property be zoned planned development with a retaining wall all the way around the property with no access except from Loop 286 and with assurances that these other streets will not be opened up and be accessible to the development. In regard to the question regarding easements to this property, City Attorney Schenk advised the City Council that regarding easements that they are talking about, any action taken tonight can only impact what this developer can do with the property rights that they own. If the existing easement is there and existing for entrance into the bank property from the street right -of -way, you can not change that tonight. Mr. Steenson advised the City Council that he did not have a problem with planned development zoning, but he could not agree to not have access from Collegiate Drive. City Attorney Schenk said the Council can make, as a condition of the approval of the planned development tonight, the inclusion of the fence on the property that is before them as a consideration. City Manager Malone pointed out that they are planning to reduce their request to just a portion of what they originally requested leaving the southern buffer zone as residential, which means they are backing up 250 feet, so the zoning they are requesting that they would have the opportunity to act on as planned development would be that part that they backed up to. City Manager Malone said there could be a privacy fence and landscaping there. Mayor Neeley ruled that the motion failed for lack of a second. After further discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Pfiester to table this item, and ask the developer to schedule a meeting, notify all the residents within reason, publish in the newspaper, schedule a public meeting some where, try to work out their differences, and bring back the results to the City Council. The motion failed for lack of a second.
