REGARDING AN ORDINANCE
Receive public input regarding a request for a Planned Development of
Levi Franklin Survey, A-513, Tract 4A, from TX-121 (The 121 Gateway
District) zoning to PD (Planned Development) based on R-1 zoning and
consider a recommendation regarding an Ordinance. This property is
located on the northeast corner of N. Industrial Boulevard and Mid-Cities
Boulevard.
Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing.
Chris Barker, Planning and Development Manager, gave a brief description of the case.
The applicant, The James R. Harris Company, represented by Mr. Justin Welborn, is
requesting consideration to change the zoning of a 15.385 acre parcel from TX-121
(The 121 Gateway District) to Planned Development (PD) based on R-1 (Single-Family
Detached Dwelling District) zoning. This property is located on the northeast corner of
N. Industrial Boulevard and Mid-Cities Boulevard. Chris went over the variances and
the enhancement standards.
Chris Barker stated the applicant's representative, Justin Welborn, was available for any
questions.
Justin Welborn, 2929 W. 5th Street, Fort Worth, Texas, went over the lot widths, the
hiking trail, the masonry wall, and some of the Homeowners Association responsibilities.
Justin asked Chris Barker if he had addressed the interest they had for the easement to
the east of the property.
Chris Barker stated this easement was owned by the City of Euless and would not be
able to be added to the Planned Development.
Justin Welborn stated that you cannot build anything on this easement because of the
TXU lines therefore they feel that this development and The City of Euless would benefit
because they would use it for landscaping.
Chairman McNeese asked for any proponents/opponents to come forward for any
comments. Seeing none the public hearing was closed.
Several of the Commissioners stated they felt this was a great development.
There was discussion that the masonry wall easement located along the western side of
Block B Lot 8 and the eastern side of Block B Lot 1 should be located within the
._.. adjacent HOA lots.

these lots would not be encumbered by the masonry wall.
Justin Welborn agreed.

Block B, Lot 9 was not shown.

section.
