Public Hearing
Public Hearing Item 1 —Zoning Case 2016-08
Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a
change in zoning from Agricultural District(AG/30)to Townhouse District(TH) to allow
for a Town house development of 90 units on a 9.69 acre tract of land located northwest
of the intersection of Country Club Road and Brown Street. (ZC 2016-08)
Staff Presentation
Mr. Molina stated that the property totals 9.69 acres and will create ninety (90)
townhome residential lots and one open space lot. The developer has indicated that all
units will be sprinkled as the proposed subdivision does not have two points of
vehicular access as required in the zoning ordinance. The fire marshal has approved
the alternative plan.
Staff believes that the proposed development is suitable for the area with the long
shape and location of the tract of land. Access is limited to vehicles coming inbound
from the north due to a median that prevents access from the south. The proposed
residential use is ideal as it leads to less congestion as opposed to a higher
commercial use that attracts a larger traffic volume.
The concept plan is in compliance with the minimum standards within the Zoning
Ordinance, with minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet.
Seven notifications were mailed with no responses returned in favor or in opposition
to the request.
•
Staff recommends appi'bval subject to additions and alterations as required by the
City Engineering Department. The developer will be required to pay fees in lieu of
for Parkland Dedication at a rate of$800 per dwelling unit.
Board Discussion
Commissioners expressed concern on the size of the street right-of-way with one
access. The right-of-way showed on the concept plan was 50 feet, with 10 feet on
both sides for parking, leaving the street 30 feet. Mr. Alan Lauhoff, Atlas Associates,
Inc, 200 N Main, Suite 185, Milford Texas, stated that the tract of land is full of
challenges, and he proposed 25 feet front setback and decrease the backyard. The
typical measurement for parallel parking on the street is eight to ten foot. The
community will have Homeowner's Association.
Public Hearing
Chair Smith opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Duane Fisher, Realtor, 264 C.R. 490, Princeton, Realtor for the property, stated
that the adjacent property owner is not ready to sell at this time, and the property is
not easy to develop.
