PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION
REGARDING AN ORDINANCE
Receive public input regarding a request for a Planned Development of
Oakwood Terrace West Addition, Lot A2, from C-2 (Community Business
District) zoning to PD (Planned Development District) based on R-1 L
zoning and consider a recommendation regarding an Ordinance. This
property is located on S. Pipeline Road W.
Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief description of the
case. The applicant, Integer Development, LP, represented by Mr. Charles Dibrell, is
requesting consideration to change the zoning of a 4.692 acre parcel from C-2
(Community Business District) to Planned Development (PD) based on R-1 L (single-
family limited dwelling district) zoning. This property is located on S. Pipeline Road W.,
west of Simmons Drive, in Euless, Texas.
Mike Collins stated the applicant was not available for questions due to the fact that
they requested this case to be tabled until the next scheduled Planning and Zoning
meeting on January 16, 2006.
Chairman McNeese asked for any proponents/opponents to come forward for any
comments.
Gary Garretson, 703 W. Mills Drive, Euless, Texas, asked if all the houses were going
to be two stories.
Mike Collins stated with the lot size of 5,500 square feet these lots have to meet a
minimum of 1,800 square feet so they would be two stories.
Gary Garretson stated he was concerned with the two story houses because his
property abuts the proposed development and he would have no privacy.
Mike Collins stated if the proposed development was approved the two story houses
would be permitted. There could be a possibility though that the commission
recommends one story houses.
Gary Garretson asked if the City of Euless intended to take the portion of his backyard
that is dedicated to an easement.
Mike Collins stated the easement that is platted within his lot will stay within his
property. If this development were approved the developer would approach the
homeowners and ask if they wanted a new fence constructed.

Olander Barker, 612 W. Mills Drive, Euless, Texas, stated he was concerned with the
possibility this gated community would block traffic on S. Pipeline Road W.
Mike Collins stated the call box for this development would have to be thirty feet from
the property line therefore it should not affect the flow of traffic on S. Pipeline Road W.
Mike Collins asked Chris Barker in the negotiations with the City of Fort Worth to
reconstruct S. Pipeline Road W. and whether they will be adding to the pavement width.
Chris Barker stated the general width will remain the same but the width does vary
along S. Pipeline Road W. at the moment and will be more uniformed. There have
been discussions though to widen the road on the South end and specifically adjacent
to the private school.
Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing.
