MIDWAY DRIVE Public input regarding the request of Gary W. Scarlett, Pastor of First Church of the Nazarene for a Specific Use Permit request for an addition to an existing building which will be used for classrooms, kitchen, restrooms, and fellowshiplactivity area in the R-1 (Single Family Detached Dwelling) Zoning District in the Midway Park Addition; Block 45, Lot 1. Carol Griffith; City Planner, gave a brief description of the case. She stated the Development Review Committee (DRC) recommended approval. Chairman Young opened the Public Hearing. Gary Scarlett, Pastor of the First Church of the Nazarene, 801 Midway, Euless, Texas, stated that during the last four years the church had seen significant growth in the congregation which made it necessary to expand. Pastor Scarlett stated their eagerness to comply with most of the requirements, but stated the church wanted a deviation to the sidewalk required along Midway Drive for the following reasons; 1. There is an existing sidewalk on the north side of Midway Drive which most students who walk to school use. 2. The adjoining property on the west (owned by H.E.B. I.S.D.) does not have sidewalks, Most likely a retaining wall would have to be built if sidewalks were put in. 3. The east most 100-ft of the property is unimproved land which will be used for a larger sanctuary in the future, and putting in a sidewalk now would mean it would have to be removed later. 4, Landscaping that has been put in would have to be removed. 5. The existing gas meter in the middle of the 9 feet owned by the City of Euless would have to be removed. Pastor Scarlett stated their intention was to put in a sidewalk in the future. Chairman Young closed the Public Hearing. Yl_A'v'<1NG AND ZONING COMMISSION PROF MINIJIl'S OF JANUARY 5, 1999 ITEM 2 RECOMMENDATION - SPECIFIC USE PERMIT - #98-32-SUP -• 801 W, MIDWAY DRIVE Consider the recommendation regarding the request of Gary W. Scarlett, Pastor of First Church of the Nazarene for a Specific Use Permit request for an addition to an existing building which will be used for classrooms, kitchen, restrooms, and fellowship/activity area in the R-1 (Single Family Detached Dwelling) Zoning District in the Midway Park Addition, Block 45, Lot 1. Carol Griffith, City Planner gave a brief description of the case. Chairman Young asked the City Engineer and the Fire Marshal for their comments concerning this case. Paul Kruckemeyer, City Engineer, stated that he has the same concerns as the Fire Marshal regarding the fire lane, which does not meet the current standards. Mr. Kruckemeyer requested that the (Minutes reflect that any expansion to the proposed new building or any proposed new buildings or expansion to the parking lot in the future would require that the fire lane be brought up to current standards as far as paving depth and dimensions. Chairman Young asked Ms. Griffith for the status of the Trinity High School expansion. Ms. Griffith stated that Trinity High School has been expanding their building and they had to come up to current standards. Trinity High School had a Preliminary Plat approved about a year ago and now they are getting their public improvements in; during the summer they will work on the parking lots; install a sidewalk on Midway Road, and do the Final Plat. Commissioner McNeese wanted to know if the activity room was going to be used as a gym at some point in tirne. Pastor Scarlett answered it would initially be a gym and multi purpose building. Commissioner Houk asked where the sanctuary would be located. Pastor Scarlett answered it would be by the street. Commissioner Houk asked where the parking area would be. Pastor Scarlett answered it would be expanded in the front and more parking would be added in the back. Chairman Young stated he did not see any reason to deny the SUP request but that the church needed to be aware that in the future parking areas would have to be upgraded, and to be aware of fire lane and sidewalk requirements. Chairman Young stated he did not feel he could recommend to City Council to approve the SUP without a sidewalk. PIANNiNG AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE: 4 4 NUIES;OF J,&NUARY 5, 1199 Mike Logan, Fire Marshal, stated for clarification that the width of the current fire lane needs to be modified to accommodate current fire apparatus. Mr. Logan stated the width needs to be 24 feet at rear. Commissioner Zahn asked if it would be necessary to stipulate the sidewalk and fire lane requirements or if these items would be mentioned in another document like the Site Plan. Ms. Griffith stated that these two items are what would bring the church up to current code requirements. Chairman Young said that since the sidewalks had been mentioned as a possible variance request, it would be clearer if they were specifically included. Ms. Griffith agreed and said that since the Unified Development Code stated "generally 24 feet", the restriping of the fire lane could be stated in the notion as well. Paul Kruckerneyer asked if the Church of the Nazarene would have to come back for a Site Plan. Ms. Griffith answered no, that they would need to get a Building Permit after this. Mr. Kruckemever stated these items needed to be considered as if this was a Site Plan to have some direction as far as where to go with the construction plans. Commissioner Zahn made the motion to approve Specific Use Permit #98-32-SUP with the stipulation that the 20' fire lane in the back parking area would be increased to 24', and that it would also include the sidewalk from the west property line to east property line as shown on the plan, and with the understanding that in any future expansion the church would bring the fire lane paving up to the Unified Development Code standards. Commissioner Houk seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Chairman Young, Commissioners Zahn, McNeese, Houk Nays: None Abstentions: None The motion carried. ITEM 3 PUBLIC HEARING — PLANNED DEVELOPMENT - #98-05-PD HARiI OOD COURTS ADDITION PHASE 11 Public input regarding the request of Monarch Development for a consider a change of zoning from R-1 {Single Family Detached Dwelling District} into a Planned Development for Single Family Residential Dwellings with private gated streets. The property is located within Bear Creek Villas, Block A, Lot 1; South of Harwood Road and West of Fuller-Wiser Road just east of the Harwood Courts Subdivision, Carol Griffith, City Planner, gave a description of the case. Ms. Griffith stated that the applicant needs to file an access easement before re-platting into a separate extension. Ms. Griffith stated that staff supports this as a rare opportunity for ,single family infill development. The Comprehensive Plan, the City Council and the Planning and Zoning N-J1NUf1 S 10F jAN'17i'kRY 1999 Commission have indicated in the past a real desire for additional single famine development, and this is an opportunity, as staff sees it, to turn a vacant tract of land into new single family homes. Ms. Griffith stated it was recently rezoned from multi- family to R-1 as part of a city wide rezoning. fps. Griffith also stated that the Planned Development comes into play because it is going to be a gated community as an extension of the Harwood Courts subdivision. She said the lot sizes will be similar to Harwood Courts, and they are somewhat in line with the R-11- zoning standards, which will be the underlying zoning for this area. Ms. Griffith stated this developer has a good track record with the City with the Forest Pointe Subdivision and that staff recommended approval of this Planned Development. Chairman Young opened the Public Hearing. Henry Rahmani, 1520 Alberi Drive, Euless. Texas, stated that because of some difficulties the original developer had decided not to continue with Phase II of Harwood Courts. Mr. Rahmani stated that he will make it a continuation of Phase I with different street names, and that he will make it as close to Forest Pointe as possible. Mr. Rahmani stated that he would talk to the Homeowners Association about putting some of the sane features of Phase 11 on Phase 1, Mr. Rahmani also stater it will work better for the new hones to have front entries as opposed to side or rear entries, since they had some problems with these in Forest Pointe. Chairman Young closed the Public Hearing.
