The property is currently zoned C-1 ;Neiqhborhood Business) and has been for many year$, The applicant is requesting the zoning be change(, to R-1 l_. Sinole-Family Limited' which allows a minimum lot size width of 50 feet, trinimum lot size of 5,500 square feet and 1,5500 square foot minimum area size, which is similar to the R-1 zoning district. The surrounding land uses include apartments to the west, vacant land to the north and east and residential homes to the south, There is a gas line, which runs through the property in a north northeastern direction which has a big influence on the layout of the proposed site. if this zoning change is approved, the applicant would be subject to only ti -zoning requirements specfied i n the UDC for the R-1 1. arid any additional requirennents could not be enforced by the City- Vice Chairman Zahn asked for the applicant to come for-ward and make his presentation for Zoning Case #94-05. Mr. Warren . Hagar.. with Warren Hagan, lnc,, 5010 Grapevine Highway #472, Hurst, Texas, was present representing the ownerldeveioper, Harwood Holdings Associates. Mr. and Mrs.,LAp Stinson with Texas Best Custom Homes, are both the developer and home builder inth€s zoning case, They are purchasina this piece of property from the present owner, Harwood Holdings Associates, which owns the entire parcel of property and except for this section of property the remainder will remain commercial. Aspart of the purchase agreement, the owner and the buyer are going to share the costs of resolving a long standing drainage problem by extending the storm sewer system from where it ends in connection with the development of Food Lion up to and including the intersection. The storm sewer system must be in accordance with the requirements of flie City and they have, rnet with the City Engineers office, Mr, Hagan stated that the pipeline would be best situated in the median so that the houses are separated from the pipeline and the pipeline company could have easy access so this would dictate the layout of the proposed development, There would be a boulevard street which is partially landscaped and has pavestone crossovers with 60 foot tai rnarounds on the two cul-de- sacs. This proposed la out wouid provide for a quiet crime free atmosphere for which there would only be one entry into the development. They are proposing 34 lots which meet the minimum requirements of the R-1 L zoning district and there are 4 lots per acre and most lots are much larger than the rninimum and average 8,520 square foot per lot area. There will be a masony buffer along the side of the apartments and the fence along Harwood would probably be wood, Mr- Hagan stated that the price of the homes will be between $100,€ 00 and $110,000, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - PAGE SIX JULY $, 1994 There t)e.nono firthero,,opcine,€its\opponents, Vice, Chairman Zahn closed the public hearing and called for discussion among the Commissioners. C ommissioner Tyson was concerned with the proposed zoning district of R- i L which appears to be regular homes with no open space-, which resernbles the R-1 zoning district. He stated that the only open space is situate' along the median areas in the proposed deveopment. Heiiked the overall concept but would like to see it broadened more with the R-IL zoning and have more oper, space, possibly a homeowners association with the streets maintained by the association. Commissioners Owens stated he does not feel this is -a good use of the property. especiatly with so many residential homes in the area, there needs to be more local businesses for the surrounding neighborhoods. He arse stated that too much good com mercial property has been turned into residential property throughout the City. He Xurthe e also had some concern with the proposed R-IL zoning and feels the I �r stated h property would be best zoned as R-1. Mr, Hagan advised the Commissioners that the proposed gr een areas along the medians would be landscaped and irrigated. He further stated that this request deals with the parbal use of the whole tract and the remainder of the area would still be zoned ;., Sornmer6ai with at least 300 feet or more for this usage running along North Main S treet, He stated that the market dernands more single-farm",yrio.mes with smaller lots which are close, to commercial areas in this price range. Commissioner tvlcMillon stated that he has envisioned this property as being commercial i ty, and he is not sure that th s is the best usage for this proper Commissioner Tyson stated that he does riot feel that the City or a homeowners association should be burdened with a 40 foot pipeline easement running through the middle of the development enclosed with the street right-of-way. Mr, Hagan stated that maybe they could come back with a different type of land plan with more amenities which the Commissioners would favor. Rod Tyler advised the Commissioners that if this zoning change: is approved then the next step for the applicant would be a Land Plan and the preparation of construction plans consistent with the Land Plan. Commissioner Baldwin suggested that maybe the applicant could come back after,there has been further study on this proposed zoning case due to the (,o€ missioners having some concerns.
