C,ornmissioner Young invited citizens to address the Planning and Zoning Commission. Several members of the Bear Creep Bend Homeowners were present, Mrs. Potaki: 204 Branch Bend; asked if a Park was going into the development. Rod Tyler, City Planner, pointed out the area that would be built as common area in the development'. The homeowner's voiced concerns about outsiders using the park and disregarding the signs that read "private park". Chairman Young explained it was not a private park but rather a common area. She expressed her dissatisfaction over having two parks within a mile of each other. Rod Tyler stated that common areas were approved with the Planned Developments, The Developer of this property reduced the lot area so much that the open space was consolidated into common space to be better utilized by the residents. Mr. Tyler also stated the common space is a requirement for this zoning. The homeowner's raised questions concerning the Homeowner's Associations and whether or not there is a discrepancy in the number of associations for all three Bear Creek Bernd Addibons. Mr. Byers explained to the citizens that the city was not of issue with Pulte or the homeowner's regarding the associations. Robin McGowan, 901 Roaring Canyon Rd, expressed her concerns on the additional park;. She stated the homeowners did riot know there was are association when they PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - PAGE FIVE APRIL I , 1996 purchased their homes until they received a bill for $150.00 per year, The amount was a typographical error and was adjusted to $120.00. She feels if the city is mandating the pars, the costs will be placed on the homeowners by increasing their dues. She also stated the park in Phase l is not kept in satisfactory cond€t€on. The homeowner's are not pleased with the park. Ms. McGowan stated she was on the board along with Pulte representatives. There is also one other homeowner on the board. Don Dykstra, Pule, Home Corp,; stated they consulted with the homeowners at their annual meeting and eluted Robin McGowan to the Board of Directors. They have had another meeting and had discussions and input about the management company that is in charge of the landscaping at the park. The lots in Phase III are already incorporated into the association and Pulte pays dues on each home based an a budget that includes both parks. The dues will not increase when the additional park: is built. Corr€m ssioner Baldwin asked how the homeowners find out about the association when they buy property, Mr, Dykstra stated the homeowners association did not exist whenever Ms. McGowan purchased her ho me, Wben the platting was done for phase 11 the park was approved at that time, Mr, Dykstra stated that since Pulte controlled the majority of the lots they had more voting poorer until the homes sold, Once the homes are sold out then the voting would be primarily homeowner's which would assume responsibility for colleotjrag does and maintenance of the common area. Principal Management Company is currently responsible for the upkeep of the common area. She also stated the parts had a cement slab left from the proposed pavilion that will not be Mr. Byers stated the final approval of the requirements took place during the zoning phase by the City Council, also, Mr Byers stated the City had documentation that Pulte made available money to have the slab removed in lieu of putting up the, pavilion, Mr, Byers stated this was a homeowner's association issue, Commissioner Zahn stated that there is no way to be sure that the future resident of the 160 unsold lots will not want the common area, so a few people cannot speak for those residents, Commissioner Owens stated that the proposed common space is a place for children to play because many of the subdivisions In Euless do not have that spate. He further explained the steps that had been take n by the City to bring the standards of this subdivision op to the satisfaction of the Commission and Cite Staff, Mr. Byers stated the proposed common area would have trails and a pavilion. Commissioner Owens stated that three City Council members and the City Manager had been to the site, along with Cite Staff and had Pulte to change the sid&walk, make some changes to the drainage and change some of the brick. He stated the point he was trying to make was there was a PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - PAGE SIX APRIL 18, 1996 lot of action going on and her best possibility was to go before City Council to get something done on zoning that was already in place. Commissioner Baldwin asked how much money was in the Homeowner's Association at this time, Mr, Dykstra stated there was $35,000,00 and a portion of the money was for the removal of the slab. He stated 75% of the money in the fu nd was fro m Pulte. She recommended to the homeowners to gat a schedule from€ the management company stating when they would mow the common area. Yolanda Murray, 200 Branch Bend, asked if the common area in Phase l and 11 was built because a house would not fit on the lot, The Commissioners mformed her when it was Matted out it was two lots. She felt that the zoning for s maller lots was achieved by Pulte agreeing to build a park. Les Murray stated he felt the main problem was a lack of communication between the homeowners and Pulte. Chairman Young stated he sympathized with the homeowners, however, the zoning is in place for this subdivision. There are certain requirements that Pulte must meet and they have drone that, according to the UDC. He further stated that he would have been upset as a. homeowner if he had lived in a home and then received a bill for homeowner's gar's association dues, Commissioner Young stated he did not understand how Pulte could fold in la nd into a homeowners association that does not exist as Matted lots. Donald Evans; Pulte Homes, stated the most economical way to include Phase 111 into the homeowners association was to bring it into phase i and 11 to reduce the d€.€as, He stated: the homeowners association could separate from the Phase 11€, however it will take 213 vote to achieve this. He stated Pulte did not have a problem with separating the associations. He informed the Commission that nothing had been done under handed to the homeowners, but done i€ their bast r€terast to beep the € ues cost at a € inimum, He stated again, that it would take V3 vote in phase 1 and 11 to separate from Phase 111 Homeowners Association, He also stated that homeowners were notified of the homeowners association.
