Approval of Minutes: October minutes tabled until November meeting.
Roundtable Discussion
Com. James- We have to look at our assets, what do we have that others will want to use and utilize.
How do we build on the idea that horses and Lake Texoma are a part of Ray Roberts.
Chris True- Trails are the #1 facility requested by the public.
Lots of talk about what our part could be in starting a lake trail for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. Who owns the property, whose permission and backing do we need, and leasing of the land from whom. Discussion about current use of lakefront and potential future use. Discussion about maintenance of trails and parks and their daily usage.
Mr. True said that a municipality will want reassurance that a political entity will support us and take responsibility for safety.
Need some grant writers for funding, funds are available out there.
Members of other successful organizations gave helpful insight into the workings of a trail park.
As we are thinking about the future for funding and planning, we need to look at a multi-use facility and the issues associated with that.
Most likely best suited for a low density trail facility where there are not a lot of hard facilities like picknicking, rest rooms, and camping.
Grayson County does not currently have a master plan for thoroughfares in place.
Lots of excitement in the room, lots of potential for future growth.

Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
Meeting Held October 28, 2015
A regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Tioga, Texas was held on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at Tioga City Hall, 600 Main Street, Tioga, Texas.
Call to Order: The Public meeting was called to order at 7:04 p.m.
Prayer: Given by Janet Sloane
Declaring a Quorum: A quorum was declared. The committee members present were Arlene Joice, Janet Sloane, Dale Cavin, Patrick Coyle, and Kristi Staples. Also present were guests James Hilliard, Bennie McKnight, Britt Mayo, Angie Kendrick, and Gretchen Coyle.
Public Hearing:
Tonight’s meeting included a public hearing on a request for a zoning change from C-3 to a C-2 at 103 and 105 Ray Roberts Parkway by James Hilliard.
James Hilliard spoke first on what he felt were the benefits and advantages of the zoning change. He informed the committee that the plans for the two lots was for future placement of a car lot that would have about 15 - 20 cars. He said that this was not part of the downtown and that it faced the 377 Thoroughfare. He also brought pictures of old Tioga as a “historical” reference stating that the downtown area did once have gas and motor services through Woodall (oil and gas) many years ago.
Next to speak was Britt Mayo, a community member. He stated that based on the reputation of Clark’s (also James Hilliard) that he did not see any issue with the zoning being changed. He felt that Clark’s was a loyal supporter of the community and that they paid their taxes and kept things clean, so would probably do the same with whatever else they opened.
Next to speak was Bennie McKnight, he would actually be running and maintaining the car lot. He is a resident of Tioga at 600 Gene Autry. He is from Tioga, this is his home. He was an automobile dealer in Dallas for 53 years and maintained a business there without problem. Mr. McKnight claims that within the first year there will be a business (in his dealership) that Tioga can be supportive of . He plans in the future to expand by purchasing the lot next to the lots requesting zoning change.
Dale Cavin asked if Mr. McKnight would be doing repairs at the lot?
Mr. McKnight said that there were plans to build or add on a place where repairs will be done inside a shop. The plans were to be doing small repair work at a later date.
He assured the committee that the lot would be well maintained and would be landscaped well to add aesthetic appeal and that all repairs would be done inside the shop not out in the open.
Last to speak was community member Angie Kendrick. Her question was “Will this continue to be a storage facility?” She said from all that she could see, there was no car lot there but instead a storage facility for machinery. She said that this raised concern in her mind about an increase in theft and other related crime. She also was concerned about a decrease in property value. She did not have a problem with a car lot being there but was mostly concerned about it’s appearance from her home, which was in full view of the business, and about noise and movement.
Argument for zone change was that the property serves toward 377 not towards the Historic District.
Planning and Zoning Commission’s stance was that the zoning remain as it is. Our concern about letting the lot go to C-2 was for future use after this. Also, we did not feel that a car lot added to the historic or traditional charm of our town at a potentially critical entry point into our downtown area.
Adjourn: Public Hearing was closed at 7:38 p.m.
Open: Regular Business Meeting was opened at 7:39 p.m.
Quorum: Quorum declared. Arlene Joice, Janet Sloane, Dale Cavin, Patrick Coyle, and Kristi Staples
Discuss and Consider a request for zoning change:
Janet Sloane: not for change of zoning
Dale Cavin: Suggested a Special Use Permit to accommodate instead of changing zoning completely and leaving us the ability to revoke.
Patrick Coyle: Does not like the feel of a car lot being at the entry point of Tioga. He would like to carry a feel of what Tioga is out to the public road. He feels that if what we envision as a look and theme for Tioga and the downtown area is not carried out to the road then the downtown area and the heart of the town will become isolated. We have 377 as a critical entry into Tioga, with a bridge separating us from Pilot Point, leaving us the ability to be different and make Tioga its own. He feels that at this point it would be a mistake to give that away.
Kristi Staples: not for change of zoning
Donna Carney sent out a letter to the community, no one responded.
Dale Cavin made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council that we keep the lots at 103 and 105 Ray Roberts Pkwy C-3 zoning. Patrick Coyle seconded. Motion carried all ayes.
Our recommendation was on the basis that in order to preserve the integrity of the property , so that we maintain a historical presence all the way to the 377 thoroughfare, we must keep the C-3 zoning. Leaving the lot to be used as a focal point to the entrance of the downtown area.
Approval of Minutes: Minutes from the September 30, 2015 meeting were reviewed and approved with corrections to be made. Motion made by Janet Sloane to accept as amended and seconded by Dale Cavin. All ayes.
Discuss Citizen Survey: The committee looked over the introduction to the survey being sent out to Tioga citizens using Survey Monkey. We also went through each question to add and delete questions and answer choices trying to refine each one to eliminate as much confusion, overlapping of information, and bias as possible.
We worked and reworked the questions finally agreeing on 10.
The committee decided to advertise now that the survey will be available in January for the whole month to get resident information and survey responses.
Next meeting set for November 18, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. Moved up because of Thanksgiving Holidays.

Discuss and Consider Request for Zoning Change
James Hilliard was present to discuss his request to change his property located at 103 and 105 Ray Roberts Parkway from C-3 to C-2.
James Hilliard presented his case to the Planning and Zoning Committee for a zoning change. His cousin is wanting to put a car lot at the above mentioned address. Donna from City Hall informed them that the property was improperly zoned for this type of business. James Hilliard informed the committee that he has already contacted community members, whose properties are zoned C-2 and who are near his property. He claims that the neighboring community members are fine with the change. He also said that there will be no junk cars on the lot, that they are looking to make it into a true car dealership. They will not be a full service repair shop but will do detailing and minor repairs such as headlights and taillights. He claims the business will be good for the City of Tioga and will add value through its many benefits.
Patrick Coyle spoke out with concerns about rezoning 103 and 105 Ray Roberts Parkway, citing that changing the zoning to C-2 could compromise the integrity of the city square proper (downtown area).
No action was taken. Next step is to set a public hearing. This will be in conjunction with the regularly scheduled Planning and Zoning meeting on October 28, 2015 at 7:00 p.m.
Citizen Survey
A video presentation has been posted on All Things Tioga by Janet Sloane. The video was posted to open discussion by Tioga community members on the topic of the Tioga 377 Corridor and to get an informal survey of the communities views and ideas of what they want our town to look and feel like.
It was decided that we would do a survey using Survey Monkey to try to get community input on what they would like to see as our town grows.
Patrick Coyle agreed to draft an introduction to the survey. Arlene Joice agreed to collect and write the questions. Any questions from the Planning and Zoning Committee to include in the survey should be sent to Arlene by October 17, 2015. The questions and introduction should be unbiased and should not be leading. Surveys that are to be written will be dropped in a sealed drop box.
Janet Sloane also had the opportunity to talk with some people about our continued discussion plan for our lake area, working towards trails, walking and/or horse, educational services, picnicking, kayaking, etc. She spoke with Carol Nichols with the Lake Ray Roberts Equestrian Trail Association and Chris True with the Texas Parks and Wildlife. Chris True said that he would be willing to come and speak to us at one of our regularly scheduled meetings. Janet will ask him if he is available to speak with us at the November meeting, to be held on November 18th.

Janet shared an interesting and well thought out Powerpoint presentation she is working
on for a future showing to the public of ideas for future growth potential and look of
Tioga. Asked for input from other committee members.
Committee discussed future development of Tioga. What do we want? What do we
want it to look like?
Also discussed our concerns of allowing variance after variance, how it deteriorates our
ordinances and regulations. We have to start adhering to what has already been set as
our guidelines and foundation, changing what no longer works or applies through the
proper channels and in the right way.
We need to establish who we are as a committee and what we stand for, so that we are
not put in a situation where we are making recommendations on things that have
already been decided. In the future as a committee we need to voice concerns and
express our power to disagree with a recommendation if we have questions until
clarifications are made that will allow us to make an informed recommendation.
Adjourn: Paula Byler makes a motion to adjourn at 9:10 p.m. Dale Cavin seconds. All
