WORK SESSION
1. Hold a work session to consider and provide direction on a proposal by
Skorburg Company for the 61.28 acre Hood tract located south of Stone Road
and west of FM 544. (ZC 2006-11)
Ms. Manson stated that the applicant is requesting direction from the Commissioners
due to a similar request, which was denied by the City Council in April 2006. The
proposal is revised from the initial submittal, which proposed lots ranging from 7,200
square foot up to 18,000 square foot, and the proposal includes lots ranging from
18,000 square foot up to 20,000 square foot.
Mr. Tim Coltart, Skorburg Company, 3838 Oak Lawn Avenue, Suite 1212, Dallas,
Texas, represented the applicant for the subject property, stated that the request for
direction is based upon recommendations received by the Council and Commissioners
in April. The proposed house size is 2,600 square feet on 18,000 square feet lot size
compared to 2,000 square foot house on 7,200 square foot lot size. The Concept Plan
offers flexibility of the layout regarding to streets and park location. A berm will separate
on both sides of Alanis Drive which is proposed to go through the development.
Chairman Larson complimented the developer on the proposal, stating that the proposal
is significantly improved from the previous request. He asked if Parks Board has
reviewed the subject proposal. Mr. Coltart stated that support and definition from the
City is called for before meeting with the Parks Board for guidance.
Commissioner Gregg stated that the proposal shows three lots abutting the existing
property to the north, the previous submittal presented two lots, and recommended
additional buffering by reducing number of lots adjacent to the existing property. Mr.
Coltart stated that he will address that before the official submittal, but the lot layout
places the house away from the existing property due to the size of the lot.
Commissioner Alexander questioned the amount of lots from the presentation slide
versus the hand-out. Mr. Coltart stated that flexibility for the development is needed but
the number of lots will be the same. Commissioner Hennesey questioned the lot width
size south of the park. Mr. Coltart stated that the lot widths will change with the
construction details, which are complete at this time. Commissioner Ames questioned
the sidewalks, and Mr. Coltart stated that no sidewalks will be within the development,
proposing rural development with open ditches.
