ITEM NO. OF-� � PLAT � � ADDITION
� ��� � �� � _
Mr. Pappas addressed the commission in regards to the final
plat of Westgate addition , which lies on Brown Street or FM
3412 just South of the Birmingham Farms. As a matter of
fact , it is because of Westgate and its road realignment
problems that we had to do some triming up of Westgate and
have to do some rezoning of Birmingham Farms tonight;
because we wanted the two roads to meet and meet properly.
Westgate, in addition to that , has phased their development
into two large blocks; and that final plat is before you
tonight for your consideration. In the review of the plat
there were only two things that gave some concern to the
city staff . One was the problem of insuring that when a
phase is divided up into different lots that all the lots
fit together. Also, that the responsiblity is taken for any
changes. Secondly, you will recall , that in the Westgate
addition there was a long crooked road that joined at FM
3412 and eventually with 544. What has happened is that
different developers want to develop tracts of that
-^ property. The City Staff was not sure if the road would be
�
dedicated so that it would go all the way through. We do
have the documents in hand this evening to assure that the
road has been dedicated. The second item that gave us some
concern was some building line problems on Westgate Way,
which is the main North-South road curving through the
development. there was a number of lots facing the road of
different categories some were single family, some duplex ,
some faced the road and some side on the road. After some
discussion with the developer and with the City Staff , we
have no problems with that and we recommend approval of the
phase one final plat of the Westgate Addition~ After some
discussion with the commission , Bill Chapman made motion to
accept the final plat of the Westgate Addition. Ben Scholz
second the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
ITEM NO. 3 RE-ZONING
FARMS - Mr. Pappas addressed the commission on the property
that is commonly known to us as the ''School Land. " This
_ land was recommended for zoning by this commission only a
few months ago. This change was brought about by the
developers compliance with the City 's request for the
realignment of the road. The developer is resubmitting this
property for some revision of that zoning , at this time.
This will probably not be the last time to see it; even
after this. What appears to have happened is that the
zoning category of SF2 shrank considerably, most of the
shrinkage went into SF3, now we have more SF3 in the
Birmingham Farm than we had before and most of the acreage
use to be in something else came from SF2 a little from SFA
and a little from multi-family. We gave up some acreage
that was zoned multi-family and single- family attached
which was townhomes. And the acreage which was zoned SF2
jumped considerably in acreage zoned for SF3. This caused
very little change in the lot layout; however , there was
some street shifting and that was the major change that
occurred. Tract 17 on the old plan , which is tract 22 on
the new plan , changed completely. It had been a SF2 tract
which is no SF3. In the commercial units, retail increased
entirely on the expense of Bl and B2. Both of them shrank'
�
Vice-chairman Chaney opened the public hearing , all those
who are in favor of the re-zoning. Bob Stoffels with J. T
Duncan & Associates representing the owners and developers
of this tract , which are: Morgage Corp of Texas and Bill
Gilligan of Zyland Development Company. They will also be
developing the tract as soon as the zoning changes have been
approved and engineering has been completed. After a
lengthy discussion the public hearing was closed and brought
back to the commission. After a lengthy discussion Bill
Chapman made motion to accept the zoning changes except ,
tract 17 be recommend to the council that the zoning change
of 20 acres by the park be changed to SF-2 with Boundries of
SF3. Joe Strigle second the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
ITEM NO. 4 - ADJOURN - Motion was made by Joe Strigle for
adjournment. Ben Scholz second the motion. Motion carried
