PUBLIC HEARING W #rC-86-15 - REQUEST FOR A CHANGE OF ZONING ON TRACTS 1C,
1C2, 1131, l.Rl AND .11 1A. OF THE JOHN GROVES SURVEY, ABSTRACT 559 FROM ITS
PRESENT ZONING OF C-2 AND CUD R-4 (16 U/A) TO P13 - SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED
(W/REDUCED SI?TB.ACFS AND LOT SIZES) AND MINI-WAREHOUSF a
Chairman Ingram explained the rules governing a public hearing and then
opened the public hearing.
Mr-. Keith Wallace, Washington/WaIlace, Inc., presented this request. He
explained that General Homes -was currently mrider contract. to do the building
of the homes in this addition sub ect to the approval of this .zoning case.
Mr, Wallace explained it1hat he had some problems with some- of the rec.--mmerida-
tion.s, Regarding the single family area., Mr.Wallace stated be specifical..l.y had
problems with Items No. l (additional access), No, 2 (housing backing up to
thoroughfares), No. !c (offset. intersections), No. .5 (dead-ending Needles
Street), and No. 6 (lot coverage, setbacks and masonry) .
With respect to Item No. 1 (additional access), Mr. Wallace stated that he
felt that adequate access wars proposed and that. additional R.O.W. or access:
would serve no purpose. In response to Item .No. 4 (offset intersections),
Mr. Wallace stated that. they were proposing 120 feet, which was only 5 feed:
less than the staff': minimum requirements.
Mr-. Wallace stated that Item No. 5 of Rod '?vler's letter required that
Needles Street be carried through which would be in conflict with the concept
of an exclusive neighborhood that they are trying to create.
In answer to a question:, Mr. Wallace stated that be bad no problem, with Item
No. 3 of Rod Tyler's letter pertaining to drainage easements between dwelling
units. ?fir. Wallace then started that his reluctance to put additional access
to Pipeline Road was based on his past experience.
Mr. Wallace then addressed the items in Rots Tyler's letter referencing the
self-storage area. He explained that the dumpster location was shown ill the
front vard for accessibility, but lie did not have s problem if the Commission
preferred it be relocated. He stated there would be an irrigation system :in
front, but saw no necessity with one in back:. However, he would not have a

PLANNING & ZONING MISSION Soffit 16 19$6 PAGE FOUR
problem with adding one. Mr, Wallace stated that he had no problem with the
plant screen referenced in Rod Tyler's letter and felt that three feet. (39
made more sense than eight feet (8' ). He then explained that they had not
proposed a wrought iron fence., but a gate; however, they ;,could have no
problem with this if requested by the city.
There being no further questions for Mr. Wallace, Chairman Ingram asked for
any additional proponents.
Mr. Sam Wyse, Land. Development Manager, General Homes, Dallas, Texas, ex-
plained that the houses designed for this addition are a new product and was
designed primarily for economic considerations. They will be larger houses
on smaller :Lots.
Mr. Wyse explained that extending Needles Street through or even into a
cul-de-sac would not preserve the integrity of the neighborhood General Homes
is developing.
He further explained that only a portion of the lots were proposed to have
the 13 font setback. He. stated that one. reason for this is to have the
staggered. effect. Lots :having a 15 foot_ front setback would have swing entry
garages thus =.rest causing a problem with cars crossing over into the sidewalk.
The .lots not having swing entry garages would be setback 20 feet.
Mr. Bals:i.nger stated that the setbacks being requested did not bother him;
however, he feat strongly that Needles Street not be left dead-ended and that
entrances into this addition should be aligned with the streets to the north
to avoid a potentially hazardous traffic situation.
Mr. Wyse stated that this could cause a definite design conflict. and would
have to be discussed with his staff and see what could be done.
Mr. Engle asked if the mini.-warehouse facility was an essential part of this
addition.
Mr. Wyse explained that the self-storage facility was in no way connected
with :general Homes.
There being no further questions for Mr. Wyse, Chairman Ingram asked for any
additional proponents.
There being none, Chairman Ingram ;asked for any opponents. There being none,
Chair.-man Ingram closed the public Bearing and opened the discussion between
the Commission members.
Mr. Tyson stated that he liked the. single family proposal. more, than the
present R-4 zoning, but would like to see some refinements to the site plan;
more specifically, aligning the streets on Pipeline Rd. would be a necessity.
He further stated Needles Street would have to be opened up or ended in a
cul-de-sac, He also stated that he did not like the self-storage facility
located north of W. Euless Blvd.
1386-103
PLANNING & U HANG 0j0RjQ1Mf SEPI°FdWXR 16 1Q8b PAGE FIVE
Mr. Engle stated that he did not want to see the mini-warehouses at. that
location, and felt that the ingress & egress of the proposed single 'Family be
aligned with Prestwick or one of the other streets to avoid the potential
traffic problem.
Mr. Ingram stated that he had serious problems with almost every point
discussed.
Mr. Deithloff stated he felt Prestwick should align for safety reasons. He
stated he saw no problem with Needles Street or the sell-storage facility as
long as screened properly. He explained that as it stood now he was not for
this request, but would reconsider a new site plan.
Mr. Hill stated he liked the lesser density, but as everyone already stated,
he would like Prestwick to align and Needles to be carried through.
''sir. Balsinger stated that he felt Needles Street should be continued through.
Mr. Owens stated he felt. that the number of deviations being requested from
the single! family requirements was an abuse of the PD and dial not like
anything about it.
:fir. Wyse asked if 'he could come before the Commissioners with one more
statement.. He wanted to make sure everyone understood that only 25% of the
lots were ,going to have the 15 foot front setback.
Mr. Ingram explained to Mr. Wyse there was a significant difference in what
they were looking at and what he was saying.
After much deliberation between the Commissioners, Mr. Owens made a motion to
recommend denial of #ZC-86-1.5.
Mr. Balsinger seconded the motion.
After further discussion the above motion was withdrawn.
