ITEM 3 CASE #03-04-ZC — PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A ZONING CHANGE AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE Receive public input regarding a request for a ZONING CHANGE of Bell Ranch Terrace, Block 2, Lots 8-9; Block 3, Lots 1-5, 7-8; Block 4, Lots 8-13; Block 5, Lots 1-20, 22-26; Block 6, Lots 1-26; and Block 7, Lots 13-20 from R- 1 (Single Family Detached Dwelling District) zoning to R-1 L (Single Family Limited Dwelling District) zoning and consider a recommendation regarding an Ordinance. This property is located on 1200 Signet Dr. Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development gave a brief overview of the case. The action requested is to receive public input regarding the request for a zoning change of Bell Ranch Terrace, Block 2, Lots 8-9; Block 3, Lots 1-5, 7-8; Block 4, Lots 8-13; Block 5, Lots 1-20, 22-26; Block 6, Lots 1-26; and Block 7, Lots 13 and 18-20 from R-1 (Single Family Detached Dwelling District) and Block 7, Lots 14-17 from PD 819) based on R-1A district development standards and Multi-family zoning to R-1 L. and consider recommendation for an ordinance. Mr. Collins advised this property was a 22.66 acres tract. The applicant is the Centurion Development Group proposing a categorical zone change from the description to R-1 L which establishes a minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet with a minimum dwelling unit of 1,700 square feet. This property is located generally to the east of the existing subdivision of Bell Ranch Terrace to the west, and to the north of Signet. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council had provided previous approval to the Centurion Development Group for Phase I of the Oakridge Estates Subdivision which is located to the south of Signet. The 22.66 acres that is subject to the zone change includes approximately 3 1/2 acres of open space to the northeast of the subdivision. The Development Review Committee has reviewed this case and recommends approval. Vice Chairman Grove opened the public hearing and asked if the applicant was present and to come forward. Ottis Lee, Civilworks Engineering, 1192 Boling Ranch Rd., Azle, stated they are the designer for BNR Properties who is the owner of the property and the developer is in conjunction with Centurion Development. This is the second phase of an overall project Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 3 October 7, 2003 and the first phase is south of Signet. This project is slightly over 22 acres with over 3 acres of open space planned with the idea of bring these lots in at R-1 L in compliance with the areas to the south and west of this property. They have begun preliminary design and feasibility reviews to the overall property and it has been brought to their attention a couple of concerns by the adjacent neighbors. They have looked over those concerns and have not at this time completed construction plans on this project. These plans would come at the platting stage of the project. They have reviewed the preliminary drainage in the area west of Calvary Dr. They are aware the water runoff is running to the north of the project through the church property and will be addressing this situation during the review with city staff. They will be working with city staff to limit additional flows to existing property and meeting all the criteria the city requires for drainage, grading, preservation of trees, retaining walls, and construction of street standards. David Keener, Vice President of Centurion American Development, 3901 Airport Frwy., Bedford, stated they have been working on the project for almost 3 years. The original lots were platted back in 1952 and it has taken time to get this property to a stage that can work in this economy. They have been working with the city on Phase I and share concerns with the height of some lots and have discussed how they may be able to change some design to minimize the amount of dirt that would be required to meet city standards for drainage. The northern section is a better layout that does not have as severe a topo, and the property is sloping to the north in most cases. There is not a large hill like there was on the south side. Only three lots on the west portion of the property would require three feet or more in height to get the proper drainage to keep water from draining to the rear. They also have an agreement with the builder to not build two story homes on any lot that requires this type of rising. The builder has also agreed not to build two story homes on lots 6-10 in Phase I. Vice Chairman Grove asked if there were any proponents and to come forward for comments. Seeing none, Vice Chairman Grove asked if there were any opponents and to come forward for comments. Dianne Sebastian, 411 Nita Ln., Euless, asked if the commission would deny this case until the drainage issue has been addressed. She stated that even raising the lots three feet was not acceptable. She also stated that due to the raising of the lot behind her home she has no privacy. She is also concerned with the economical value of the house in Phase I. Ms. Sebastian stated there was a major concern about drainage during the construction. There were no provisions made to keep the dirt from draining down to their lots and street. Wendell Mitchell, 401 Nita Ln., Euless, stated that other issues he feels are being overlooked are how these homes will impact the school districts. He stated he was also concemed about the tree preservation with all the cutting that has taken place. Mr. Mitchell also stated that if the new lots are elevated and the lots on his streets drain to the property being elevated it will cause any runoff to stand in their yards. There was also a Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 4 October 7, 2003 large amount of runoff from the construction on Phase I that cause a great deal of debris in the street. Charles Ford, 403 Nita Ln., Euless, stated the neighbors would like for the developer to fix the drainage problem so it would not flood their backyards. He would also like for their to be some type of barrier to help keep the dirt coming from the construction to run down their street and yards. Shaylene Quinones, 407 Nita Ln., Euless, stated that new subdivisions were supposed to tie into old subdivisions where possible. Since Toplea will not be opened through, this will direct all the traffic onto Signet which is an increase in traffic for kids in the area. She feels this would be more beneficial since there will be children going to Wilshire Elementary that we expand this as part of the existing subdivision instead of making it a separate subdivision. Ms. Quinones expressed some concern about the boundary wall on Signet west of Nita Ln. being only three feet in height. Vice Chairman Grove closed the public hearing. Commissioner May asked Mr. Lee to address the tree preservation. Mr. Lee stated that trees are valuable to developers as far as the value of the lots and subdivisions as well as to those existing. There is an effort to keep trees but also has to be balanced with requirements of drainage and construction of the lots that is required by the city, FHA and HUD. The developer's objective if there were no further requirements is to follow the lay of the land with all the roads matching the lay of the land and let the houses be built and take out the trees for the actual houses. What happens is lots that have to drain from front to back and back to front through a lot behind it and then becomes a long time concern for the city for maintenance concerns. Phase I is a good example because the slopes were so steep along the western side that there was no way to physically raise up the western line up high enough to keep the water from draining from front to back to those lots. Even the interior lots in Phase I had to have walls put in places to decrease the amount of water drain from front to back. This is what puts the developer in danger of having to remove more trees. Typically they try to work with the right-of-way areas to keep trees but when you try to change a drainage pattern that falls four feet from front to back and make it fall from back to front then any trees behind the pad basically become holes two or three feet deep. Commissioner May asked about the three acres they plan on leaving open. Mr. Lee stated this area would be open space and have not discussed with the city if this would be public or private. Also if a detention pond will be required they will keep trees out of that part of the area. Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, asked Mr. Lee to clarify that a HOA has been established and will maintain the open spaces. Mr. Lee stated the HOA would be responsible. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 5 October 7, 2003 Commissioner May asked Mr. Barker to explain the Preliminary Plan process. Robert Barker, City Engineer, stated they typically see water, sewer and drainage plans and must approve those prior to the Preliminary Plat being forwarded on to the Commission for consideration. They are not complete plans but give them a good indication of what the intention will be of the development. After the Preliminary Plat is approved by the Commission, the Engineer will submit complete plans to the City Engineer to review and drainage will be the major issue to pay particular attention. Commissioner Bynum asked Mr. Lee about the concerns of erosion in Phase I and what types of measures have been taken for prevention. Mr. Lee stated that prior to any grading a silt fence must be in place around the property. There are times the silt fences need to be taken down for construction and that is when the chance it rains when those fences are down. They do have regular inspections conducted on the project to make sure if any clean up needs to be done will be taken care of. Commissioner Bynum asked Mr. Collins if the city makes inspections regarding problems of dirt collecting in the streets. Mr. Barker stated there is a utility inspector that is out periodically on site inspecting the facilities while under construction. If there is erosion control that is not working the city will contact the contractor on site and have this issue addressed. Mr. Keener stated they have an engineering firm that does come out and conducts site inspections after it rains to keep them in compliance. During the construction of Signet it did become difficult with the amount of rain that was received and with the hill draining to the west. Commissioner Bynum asked the staff if there have been any studies on how the traffic will impact this subdivision. Robert Barker stated there has been no detailed study for this area. This is a collector type street and it is sized to accept traffic from the neighborhoods and convey it to the nearest arterial street which is Hwy 157. If there should be some concerns develop in the future it will be addressed. Ottis Lee stated that statistically this overall rezoning in Phase I and Phase II included some Multi-family to the south side which amounted to about 90 units in addition to some residential of approximately 22 units and 79 lot on the north side. With this rezoning change there are 74 units on the south and 95 units on the north for a total of 180 units. As far as school and total traffic, the total number of units are basically the same with approximately 5-10 less zoning for the two pieces of property. Robert Barker stated that a decision had been made to not allow Toplea to go through to Hwy 157 because there are visibility challenges created because of Hwy 157 high point is to the north and there is high volume of traffic on Hwy 157. Toplea is more of a residential street and not a collector street like Signet. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 6 October 7, 2003 Commissioner Hughes asked where the boundary walls were located on the northern portion of the development. Mr. Lee stated these are specified as masonry walls and are indicated on the map. Commissioner Hughes asked if they shared a common fence on the west side with the other property owners. Mr. Lee stated that was correct. Commissioner Hughes asked how much elevation would be expected on lots 13-20. Mr. Lee stated the natural contour begins on the most southern lot. Existing is approximately a six foot fall from the street elevation to the back of the lot and that elevation difference goes down dramatically about three lots. Commissioner Hughes asked what the space would be between the retainer wall and the adjoining property. Mr. Lee stated that the retainer wall typically starts within six inches of • the property line and might lean back six or eight inches going to a height of two to four feet. There will be an open area between the two fences, unless the existing homeowner chooses to remove their older fence. Commissioner Hughes asked if the slope was less because they raised the bottom so there would not be as much runoff. Mr. Lee stated the runoff would be slower. Commissioner Hughes stated he understood that from the topology of the area the water runs north through a common area that has become the property line between the development and the existing property. Mr. Lee stated that was correct. Commissioner Hughes stated it would be the developer's job to work with the City Engineer to make sure that water is addressed and managed. Mr. Lee stated that was correct. They will make sure that water is not blocked from getting out and water is not increased or put into someone else's yard. Commissioner Hughes also stated that the lots 13-20 are going to be single story. Mr. Lee stated they will be if the walls are over a certain height. Mr. Keener has been in discussion with Mr. Collins on this issue. Mr. Keener committed that the first five lots on the west side of Calvary will be one story. Commissioner Hughes asked if the school district was aware of this development. Mr. Collins stated the city does have meetings with the school district throughout different times of the year and this particular proposal as well as any other has been shared with the school district for their purposes. Vice Chairman Grove stated the question for tonight is whether this should be changed from R-1 zoning, which is a minimum 7,500 square foot lot single family dwelling, to an R- 1 L which is a minimum 5,500 square foot lot single family dwelling. Vice Chairman Grove asked Mr. Lee is he knew what the average lot size was on this particular project. Mr. Lee stated they have not calculated the average lot size but that all Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 7 October 7, 2003 of the lots meet the 5,500 square foot minimum. Vice Chairman Grove asked Mr. Lee how many lots there were if zoned R-1. Mr. Lee stated there are 79 lots existing of which the developer owns 74. Vice Chairman Grove asked how many R-1 L lots there will be. Mr. Lee stated there would be a total of 95 lots which is 15 over the existing lots. Vice Chairman Grove stated that he understands there will be restrictions on two story homes and there is currently two lots in Phase I that will be two story on the west side and the remainder the builder has committed to constructing one-story. Mr. Lee stated that was correct. Vice Chairman Grove asked if there was any way to put in writing the amount of homes on the west side of Phase II will be one-story. Mr. Collins asked if Mr. Keener would be willing to commit to the first five lots being one-story. Mr. Keener stated that would be fine. Vice Chairman Grove encouraged the residents to work with the developer with their concerns on any drainage problems and to also contact the city staff for any concerns that are not being addressed. Vice Chairman Grove asked the City Engineer to clarify a statement made regarding visibility problems that existed if Toplea were to be developed through the existing subdivision to the west. Robert Barker stated there is some visibility issues there that had been brought to their attention and they wanted to avoid that traffic. Commissioner May made a motion to approve #03-04-ZC as presented. Commissioner Hughes asked to amend the motion to read contingent on the agreement lots 13-17 be restricted to single story. Mike Collins advised staff would prefer this be a straight motion to approve the categorical zone change but it be reflected in the minutes formally that the developer make a commitment and staff will insure that when permits are issued these lots will be single story. Commissioner Hughes asked to withdraw the amendment and asked for the staff advised City Council of the agreement for their consideration. Mike Collins advised it would be reflected in the agenda communication. Commissioner Huffman seconded the original motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Vice Chairman Grove, Commissioners Huffman, Hughes, Bynum and May Nays: None Abstention: None The motion carried (5-0). Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 8 October 7, 2003 ITEM 2 CASE #03-14-SUP — HOLD PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A PECIFIC USE PERMIT AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION FOR AN ORDINANCE Receive public input regarding a request for a SPECIFIC USE PERMIT on Somerset Addition, Block C, Lot 27ER & 27A, for a COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT in PD 1029 (Planned Development 1029) based on C-2 zoning, and consider a recommendation regarding an Ordinance. This property is located on 100 E MIDWAY DR. Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief overview of the case. The purpose of this request is to receive public input regarding the request for a Specific Use Permit on Somerset Addition, Block C, Lot 27ER and 27A, for commercial development in PD 1029 based on C-2 for commercial amusement zoning on 100 E. Midway Dr. The applicant is Mr. Jim Mertz, the new owner of Arena Athletics, and is requesting approval of this Specific Use Permit for the operation of an indoor soccer/athletic facility which is required by the Unified Development Code. There are other issues relating to a major interior renovation of the complex, the addition of a new full service restaurant and new parking lot on the Midway and N. Main St. corner. The applicant will discuss this in greater detail As discussed earlier, there would be a separation of the area where the new restaurant would be located that would not allow the consumption of alcohol beyond the limits of the restaurant or upstairs viewing area and would not be served until 8:00p.m., which is after the youth leagues play has ended. Chief Freeman also explained to the Commission the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission Regulations that also would prohibit the consumption of alcohol outside the boundaries of the food establishment. Vice Chairman Grove opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward for comments. Jim Mertz, 2601 Carroll Blvd., Southlake, stated he has started an aggressive plan of renovation and clean up on the facility. Phase I of the renovations has been completed which consisted of painting and the roof. Phase II will consist of replacing the indoor arena with new safety glass and boards that will be safer for the players as well as spectators. They are also planning on expanding their snack bar to include a full restaurant. They are also looking at moving the main entrance from Midway to the side of the building and taking the sporting store to the north building in order for them to have more room for sales and moving the restaurant to the south building. The objective for the restaurant is to keep the patrons at the facility instead of them going to other restaurants outside of the city after their games. The restaurant will be self contained Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 9 October 7, 2003 behind glass at one end of the fields. The snack bar will still be available to the patrons outside of the restaurant area. Alcohol will not be allowed outside of the restaurant area. They are also looking at putting in a smoking patio for their patrons who smoke. They have both youth that play on the north field and adult leagues playing on the south field. The youth play predominately on the north field and the adults play on the south field. The youth leagues are normally through with their games by 7:30pm. Alcoholic beverages would not be served in the restaurant until 8:00pm. They are also proposing to update the lot on the corner of Midway and N. Main St. to provide additional parking and an area for benches and tables for the youth to have a place to have ice cream after games. Mr. Mertz also stated they are looking at trying to bring in a professional minor league to the arena and to also have the opportunity to have this become the arena for rehab when the professional team has players that are sent down to the minors for rehab before they are eligible for regular play. They are currently supporting 300-330 teams at the facility. Mr. Mertz stated that 60-80% of the teams are adult teams. They are also currently bringing in Lacrosse teams which are becoming a growing sport. Vice Chairman Grove asked for any proponents to come forward for comments. Seeing none, Vice Chairman Grove asked for any opponents to come forward for comments. Francisco Fuenzalida, 201 Primrose Hill, Euless, stated he liked the idea of the restaurant and having alcohol with food, but was very concerned about the idea of people going to the restaurant just to drink alcohol. He also stated that he did not like the idea of having an area for a bar in a sporting facility. Vice Chairman Grove read a protest that was received from James Hardin, 136 Arbor Glen Dr. The protest read, "I do not wish alcoholic beverage sold within 200 feet of my home." Vice Chairman Grove closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Grove asked Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, to explain why Mr. Mertz was asking for the Specific Use Permit. Mr. Collins stated the SUP was required for the indoor soccer facility due to the existing SUP being tied to the owner and no alcoholic beverage sales. Commissioner Huffman asked if there were approximately 25% youth leagues at the facility. Mr. Mertz stated that was correct. Commissioner Huffman asked what time the youth leagues played versus what time the adult leagues played. Mr. Mertz stated the youth and adult leagues play seven days a week. The traditionally start the first games at 5:30-5:45pm with the youth's last games ending around 7:30pm on field number 2, which is in the north building. On field number 1 the adult games usually start at 5:30pm. until 1:OOam. On Saturday and Sunday leagues start at 7:30am on both fields and run until 1:00am on the adult field and the youth leagues finishing around 7:00pm. We are proposing to open the restaurant, but not serving alcohol until after the youth leagues are Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 10 October 7, 2003 finished which should be around 8:00pm. Commissioner Huffman asked if there would be any alcohol sold during the lunch hour. Mr. Mertz stated he did not see any need to sell alcohol during the lunch hour. Mr. Mertz stated he is very sensitive about having alcohol being served while the youth are playing their games. They also have plans of hiring a police office in the evening just make sure that none of the patrons get out of hand. Commissioner Huffman made a statement that he has noticed that world soccer leagues can become very volatile at times and how that impacts indoor soccer. Mr. Mertz stated it was an emotional game and people are more emotional about it than others. The emotions are what make the game exciting for everyone. One of the reasons why Mr. Mertz wants to push the restaurant feature is because of the competition in other area restaurants and try to keep the patrons in Euless. Commissioner Hughes asked what the age difference was for the youth league and adult league. Mr. Mertz stated the youth leagues are under 19 years of age. Commissioner Hughes stated that with the adult leagues having members under the age of 21 exposed to the restaurant area where alcohol is being served, how he will propose the possibility of them trying to purchase alcohol. Mr. Mertz stated they would have to produce proper identification to be served alcohol. There is actually a small number of members in the adult league that is under 30 years of age. Commissioner Hughes asked if they would exclude having youth games in the south field or if they will still have games on that field. Mr. Mertz stated there will be times they will need to have youth games in the south field but they are having less. Commissioner Hughes asked if there would be any type of alcohol sales signs displayed in the restaurant area. Mr. Mertz stated he does not anticipate having any type of signs visible. He is planning on displaying pictures of professional soccer players and memorabilia. Commissioner Hughes asked if there would any type of a linear bar with stools. Mr. Mertz stated there is a bar area on the second floor to the rear and would not be visible from the fields. Commissioner Hughes asked Mr. Mertz if he would be willing to commit to a higher percentage of food sales to emphasis his commitment to restaurant emphasis. Mr. Mertz stated he would have to research how that works before he can make any type of commitment. Since he has never operated a restaurant he does not know what would be the normal average. Commissioner Hughes stated he does have a problem with an athletic facility with youth present serving alcohol. The proposal sounds good but he feels the food sales versus alcohol sales might not work. Mr. Mertz stated he was very sensitive about the alcohol Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 11 October 7, 2003 and can only control what takes place behind their doors. Commissioner May stated that the renovations sound wonderful but that he had concerns about the sale of alcohol. Commissioner May asked how many of the other area eleven arenas served alcohol. Mr. Mertz stated three of those served alcohol. Commissioner May asked where those facilities were located. Mr. Mertz stated they were at Inwood Rd., Richardson, and Grand Prairie. Commissioner May asked if the restaurant was going to be completely closed off with only a door entrance into that area and not open to the fields. Mr. Mertz stated the restaurant would be enclosed by tempered glass with a door. There would be no areas of exposure to the fields. This will help to cut down on the noise from the fields but still give them access to view the games. Commissioner May asked if the restaurant and serving alcohol was a need in the facility. Mr. Mertz stated they did a blanket survey with the patrons and the results were they like the idea of the restaurant and had some of the same issues regarding the alcohol. Mr. Mertz stated that he spoke with those that had concerns about the alcohol and explained how the alcohol would be restricted from leaving the restaurant area and the hours served only being after 8:00p.m. and they were excited about having the restaurant. Commissioner May stated that when he takes his family out to a restaurant he expects there to be alcohol served but does not expect to have alcohol served where kids play sports. Mr. Mertz stated that was a misconception he has been battling. This facility is running predominantly adult games. Commissioner May expressed his concern when there are children possibly waiting for their parent who is playing a game and are in the restaurant and wants to know what type of measures will be taken for children being in the restaurant without their parents. Mr. Mertz stated that the second floor area will be restricted to adults only. Children will not be allowed on the second floor of the restaurant. Vice Chairman Grove stated there was a great concern of having alcohol around kids. Vice Chairman Grove stated that if the SUP was approved they expect Mr. Mertz to follow all the restrictions that would be applied to the SUP and not make it a facility that is promoting alcohol to the kids. Mike Collins asked the commission if the bar were eliminated would that make a difference in their decisions. The commissioners stated it would not make that much of a difference. Mr. Collins asked if the commissioners had any other recommendations. Commissioner Hughes stated he would like to see a higher percentage of food versus the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 12 October 7, 2003 alcohol. Mr. Mertz stated he would like to be more educated on that issue before making a commitment that is not reasonable. Commissioner Bynum made a motion to approve case #03-14-SUP with the following conditions: 1) alcohol sales to start after 8:00pm in restaurant area, and 2) tied to owner, Jim Mertz. Vice Chairman seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Vice Chairman Grove and Commissioner Bynum Nays: Commissioners Huffman, Hughes and May Abstention: None The motion failed (2-3). Commissioner Hughes made a motion to deny case #03-14-SUP. Commissioner May seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Commissioners Huffman, Hughes and May Nays: Vice Chairman Grove and Commissioner Bynum Abstention: None The motion carried (3-2). ITEM 4 REPORTS There were no reports.
