ZC 2014-05.
Staff Presentation
Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant/developer is Douglas Properties and the
builder is Bloomfield Homes. The applicant is requesting to establish
permanent zoning on approximately 38 acres of land, of which 18 acres was
recently annexed into the city. The subject property shall be developed in
accordance with planned development conditions and will create a residential
development of single family dwelling of varied densities.
The PD specifies minimum lot size of 8,500 square feet with dwelling sizes
ranging from a minimum of 1,800 square feet to 2,200 square feet with 50%
being 2,200 square feet or greater. The maximum number of lots will not
exceed 140 lots and will provide connection to the existing Stone Grove Phase
I Addition to the west.
The Parks Board reviewed and approved the dedication plan with the
stipulation that the developer try to install an eight-foot wide Hike and Bike

Board Discussion
Mr. Jim Douglas, Douglas Properties, 2901 Avenue K, Plano, Texas, gave a
presentation stating that the proposed development will be an extension of Kreymer
Estates, which is an existing development under construction off East Brown Street.
A flood study will be performed on the creek located within the development prior to
any dirt being turned over, and will be reviewed by applicant's engineer, as well as
city engineer. In designing the stormwater system there are restrictions that the
amount of water comes down is at a slower pace. Therefore,there is no rush of water,
which causes erosion and flooding.
Public Comments
Chairman Smith opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. and Mrs Paul Curtis, Mr. Joseph Zaborsky, Ms. Norine Bullard, Mr. Mike
Wietecia, all spoke in opposition of the request, and expressed concern of properties
flooding,and asked when flood study will be completed,and location of the trail.
Chairman Smith closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Douglas responded to the concerns expressed by the citizens, in that the trail will
be constructed on the development side of the creek, and will not cross over into the
existing subdivision of Stone Grove. Even though the PD states maximum number of
lots is 140, due to flood study or engineering designs, the number of lots may be
reduced. Flood study will be performed and updated on the creek, prior to a plat
submitted.
Commissioner Williams requested clarification on the next step. Staff responded that
once the Commission recommends approval, City Council approves the zoning. The
applicant submits civil drawings, flood study is done and begins the process of
platting of the property. The Commission will review the Plat and make a
recommendation to City Council, not a public hearing but public open meeting. Once
the Plat is approved, subject to any alterations and additions recommended by city
engineer,construction may begin
Board Action
A motion was made by Commissioner Culver, and seconded Commissioner Owens,
to recommend approval to the City Council for ZC 2014-05. Motion carried 5—O.
