THIS...PROPERTY.As GENERALLY L,QCATJE.D_$QUTH ..SIGNET SIX AND WEST nF REMM 'b�dVE Rod Tyler, City Planner, introduced Zoning Case 192-18. He informed the commission that the rpquest wa.,, for Planned Development for Single Family Detached Units on lots that would be smaller than what standard R-1 7-onino district requires. Specifically the lots would range from 5,500 sq, ft t6 7,500 sq, ft. The applicant has proposed a detailed site plan that incltfdes alleys for the majority of the lots and would involve the vacation of various right-of-ways, replat-tAng of the property to create approximately 50 dwell- ing", Chairman Young called the public hearing for Zoning Change 92-18ZC in session. Chairman Young called for the applicant or his representative to come forward and state his case. He further advised that if anyone wished to !speak,, to please state their name and address for the public record. Barry Hudson, Everage Consultants, lnco , 2630 West Freeway, Suite 100, Fort Worth, Texas, representing Brooks Builders made the -initial presentation, He stated that over the last 10 - 15 years that Brooks Builders has gone in to this development at their expense and bought, individual lots and put together a developable area that could be redeveloped for the betterment of the City of Euless, This has been a difficult task because of fragmented ownership of the the lots. He 'thanked the City Staff for their recommendations. He stated some of the concerns in the development of this area was the adjacent apartments anfj the warehouses to the south and the existing residential neighborhood to the west, These 'lots have limitations on what can be done economically and feasibly in this particular area of Euless. He stated that the existing homes to the north are in the $65,000 to $100,000 price range. He said that Brooks Build- ers feels that this dictates what the new home market is in this area. He stated that the current zoning is for multi-family, it is a mixture of PD and CUD� 'The current zoning would allow 125 or 126 units on this parcel of 10 acres. There is one lot. that Brooks Builders acquired that is zoned €t-1A. Brooks Builders is looking at a reduction in the maximum number of dwelling units by 00% and are utilizing only 40% of what. is currently zoned on the property, from 125-120 units down to 50 units. In order to best € t i l ize the property, Brooks Builders is asking the commission through the planning process vacate the old right-of--ways which are no longer appropriate for the development of this area and replatting into the street configuration shown. Brooks is proposing 20' ft, alleys behind 30 of the 50 lots and 609A of the lots will have rear entry garages only, There would not be a rear alley to the homes that are adjacent to the € mint].. family units, Brooms Builders is proposing an Bt ft solid Snood screening fence and a row of Photenia hedges would grow above the screening fence to screen the existing apartments from the proposed single family residential, Mr. Hudson addressed the staff concern regarding future PV and boat storage in the front of homes. He stated that Brooks Builders is willing to deed re- strict this subdivision spa that there will be no Pik or boat storage permitted in the front yard. Brooks is asking for a 20' ft front yard setback instead of the 25' ft, setback to allow for alley access. This is a change from the submission that the Commission currently has, This will still leave over 1,000 sq� ft. of open space in the front yard. Additionally, this will give more useful area for space in the back ;hard where the driveways would be. Mr. Hudson addressed staff concerns abort landscaping, and stated that Brooks Builders feels very strongly that this should be the prerogative of the individual homeowner. However , Brooks Builders does sod the front yards. In addition, Mr. Hudson stated that Brooks Builders had already made €nodif is a.. t ions to their original proposal resulting in cost to them in excess of $1550,00.00. bar. Hudson then passed out elevations on the proposed homes. Chairman Pon Young asked for any other supporters of this project that would like to address the commission, There being none he opened the floor for the opposition, ]'here being none, Chairman Young closed the public nearing and opened the meeting for questions. Mr. John Park, 1500 Shady Creek give., Euless, stated he owns a, four bedroom dwelling on the southwest corner that lucks op to this development. Mr. Park ask for additional information on lot ;size and minimum house size:. Mr. Hudson stated that the lots range from 5,555 sq� ft, to 7,500 sq, ft, and the minimum house size is restricted to 1,400 sq, ft and range up -to 2,000 sq, ft, Mrs. Larry Vogl , 500 block of Wilshire, Euless, Texas, wanted to Know the time frame in the development of this subdivision. Mr. Hudson, stated that it could be three years before these houses could be built out< Frances Brooms, Brooks Builders, stated that', the price range for these homes would be $65,00-0,00 to $90,000.00v With possibly 107 tieing ire the $65,080.00 range. She commended the City staff on their input and cons iderat ions. She emphasized the need for cost containment in order to build a quality prod uct and stiT1 make a prof€t. Rod Tyler reported that the staff has received a few phone calls from area property owners, primarily on Yorkshire. These were mostly inquiries on restriction to single story homes that back up to Yorkshire. There were not any negative phone calls, Per. Tyler presented the staff reco€f endations and concerns to the Commission. 1 v )'Thee primary concern is along the south property line regarding the lack of per anancy that a wood fence provides. Staff feels that the buffer between these two dissimilar land uses should be more permanent in nature, 2 ) The second major concern centers around the small lot area and widths proposed in Block 12. No consolidation of open space or enhancement to the landscaping were offered by the applicant to justify the reduction in lot area and widths in this area, 2. ) The third concern is the minimum 5` side yards proposed on non .,alley served lots. A 5' setback does not provide adequate room for access to the rear yards for RV and boat, storage Even with deed restrictions, as the neighborhoods get older, there will be garage enclosures and eventually the only place for working on vehicles would be the front. ;yard. Mr, Tyler stated that these areas of concern are significant enough that staff cannot recommend this development as proposed with these issues outstanding. Chairman Young advised the Commissioners that they had several options avail.. able, They could 1 . ) approve the request; 2. ) deny the request; 3, ) approve the request with conditions and 4, ) if the applicant does not agree with the conditions or denial they have the right. to continue on with City Council or 5. ) we could vote to table the request in order for the applicant: to work with staff in order to address sow, of these issues at the next meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Jack Hill and seconded by Commissioner Billy Hens to approve the request with the following conditions; 1 , ) 7 ft, high Masonry wall be provided along the south property line in addition to the Photenia Hedges; Ll Lots on Block 15 are to have a minimum aide yard of 9' and 4' : s " All garages accessed from the alloy be a minimum of 20' from the rear property line.. 4. ) Minimum 20 ft, front yard setback on all lots with rear entry garages 5. 1 1,500 sq� ft. minimum on front entry homes and 1 ,400 sq, ft, minimum on near entry homes The vote was as follows Ayes, Young, Owens, 0oithloff, Hill, Tones Nays: None Chairman Young declared the motion carried. Commissioner Young reported that Articles 9 and 10 of the proposed Unified Development Control Document would be discussed at -the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
