PRICE SURVEY, A-1206, LOCATED SOUTH OF MCCORMICK FARM, WEST OF FULLER- WISER ROAD, EAST OF NORTH MAIN STREET AND NORTH OF LITTLE BEAR CREEK Chairman Deithloff explained that the public hearing is still open, being a continuation from the meeting on August 17th. David Bagwell, Vice-President with Crow Development, went over the changes made in the revised development plan. He addressed James Knight's letter dated September 2nd by item as follows: 1. A perpetual maintenance agreement has not been provided for the permanent community open space because it is their intention to dedicate that portion as a City park. There will be an agreement on the drainage easement running along the eastern boundary. 2. Regarding access to the open space, Mr. Bagwell stated that an access easement has been provided off of Fuller-Wiser Road along with access from within this subject property and also the second phase of McCormick Farms. He considered the park area to be more of a neighborhood park rather than a regional park. 3. Concerning note #4 on the Development Plan, the plan will have to be adjusted slightly if the right-of-way for North Main is not abandoned. 4. The large pecan trees are protected by the right-of-way provided in addition to the building setback lines. 5. The developer explained the question as to the ability of garbage pick-up trucks to load and unload dumpsters can be worked out at the time of final submittal of the site plan. 6. Developer will comply with state law requirements for placement of the fire hydrants. 7. Developer does not intend to set individual water meters for each unit; only for each building. C Page Three, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, September 7, 1982 Mr. Lynch stated his concern about having a perpetual maintenance agreement relative to the drainage easement running along the eastern boundary. He pointed out that there has not been a perpetual maintenance agreement approved like that when the lots do not actually front on the creek. If approved, this would mean the homeowner's association would be responsible, and not specific individuals. There was also concern that the homeowner's association could eventually be dissolved. Mr. Doug Moss with Pulte Homes stated he had conferred with their attorney who explained that a homeowner's association is a legal entity and whatever restrictions desired can be placed on the association. Mr. Tyson inquired if the City knows what is going to happen to North Main Street. Mr. Knight stated that construction would occur as property along North Main is developed. There will be two north and south lanes with a free turn lane from Cheek Sparger north to Glade as is done south of the creek. A considerable amount of discussion took place regarding establishing the eastern right- of-way line along this proposed development. There being no additional proponents or opponents, Chairman Deithloff declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Lynch made a motion to approve Zoning Case #372 as submitted subject to James Knight's letter dated September 2nd with the following conditions: 1. A perpetual maintenance agreement be provided affecting the driveways and creek area adjacent to the property on the east side. The proposed permanent community open space is to be included until it has been accepted as a City park. 2. The commission make no committment at this time as to the exact location of the horizontal curve or property line location along North Main Street; that these items be addressed at the time of final platting. The Commission reserves the right, at that time, to disprove the horizontal control information. The developer is to stake the horizontal curve locations prior to going to City Council. 3. Enough room be provided on the 20 foot driveway sections to allow the dumpsters to be picked up and still be screened as required. 4. Parking adjacent to fire hydrants be situated so that there will be no loss of required parking spaces and overall guest parking spaces. 5. Water meters be located in such manner that they will accommodate the meters and be protected from vehicular traffic. 6. Streets and drives in the addition will be concrete. 7. The homeowner's agreement is to be reviewed at the time of final platting.

CA': Page Five, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, September 7, 1982 Mr. David Farrington, President of Farrington & Associates, presented the request for change of zoning and explained why they feel the requested zoning is appropriate. He presented a report entitled "The Critical Need For Multi-Family Housing In The Metroplex" prepared by Moore Diversified Services, Inc. Mr. Barry Hudson with Farrington & Associates explained that their proposal included a 250 foot buffer strip south of West Pipeline to be restricted to 16 du/ac with an overall density for the entire tract of 24 du/ac for a total of 598 units. Mr. Coit Stevenson, with the proposed developers, presented renderings of similar apartments they have constructed in Irving. He noted that the development in Irving was constructed at an overall density of 20 du/ac although the property was zoned for 25 du/ac. Chairman Deithloff asked for any additional proponents. There being none, he asked for any opponents of which there were none. It was the consensus of the Commission that the requested R-5 density was too high. Mr. Farrington was asked if they would consider limiting the northern 250 feet to a maximum of 12 du/ac with an overall density of 20 du/ac for a total of 498 units. Mr. Farrington stated they could accept that. Mr. McMillon made a motion to recommend approval of the amended zoning request subject to James Knight's letter dated August 31, 1982, for a maximum of 12 du/ac on the northern 250 feet with a maximum permissible overall density of 20 du/ac and that the major parking and access be onto S.H. 10.
