Family (PD-SF), to allow for single family development, not to exceed 57 residential lots on
16.52 acres, generally located west of E. Stone and south of E. Brown Street, and more
specifically at 2605 E.Stone Road.ZC 2019-02
Staff Comments
Mr. Haskins stated that the applicant is requesting to rezone a 16.52-acre tract of land located on East
Stone Road from Agricultural-30 to a Planned Development to allow for a single-family development of
no more than 57 residential lots and five open space lots.The property is generally bordered by low-
density properties outside city limits to the east and west.
The proposed plan represents a minimum lot area of 6,500 square feet with a minimum home size of
2,000 square feet with a maximum density of 3.56 lots per acre.Approximately two acres of usable open
space and will be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association.The open space and
improvements were reviewed, and recommended for approval,by the Parks Board in January 2019.
The Zoning Ordinance requires 10,000 square feet lots and 2,400 square feet homes.Other conditions of
the Planned Development varying from the zoning ordinance are; lot coverage increased from 45 percent
to 50 percent,the front, side,and rear yard setbacks reduced to 20/5/15 from 25/10/25,respectively, and
the two-car garage size is proposed as 400 square feet from the required 500 square feet that includes 100
square feet for storage.
The zoning requested is generally compatible with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.The area is
designated Suburban,which generally supports lot to medium density residential or very low density
commercial in support of a neighborhood.
Comment Forms were mailed to 23 surrounding properties,and two were received;with one in favor and 0.1114
one in opposition of the request.
Commissioners Comments
Commissioner Plunk questioned the benefits received.Staff stated that the elevations are going above the
requirement from Zoning Ordinance.The proposal is nine lots skipped on the same side of the street,and
six lots skipped on the other opposite side of the street having the same elevation;and the Zoning
Ordinance requires seven lots on the same side and five lots on the opposite side with same elevation.The
other benefit is the density per acre.A 10,000 square foot lot,is three point one per acre;and the proposal
is three point five per acre.Another benefit in the proposal is number of acres/lots for open space. The
Homeowners Association will own and maintain the open space.Commissioner Plunk questioned the
difference from the proposed to the property to the south. Staff stated the density is almost the same;
however,the lots to the south are larger. Commissioner Plunk questioned if lighting allows non-cut off
lights or cut-off lights.Staff stated that the proposal is straight out of the Zoning Ordinance.With the
exception of the solar requirement, and does not differentiate between cut-off lights and non-cut off
lights.The Zoning Ordinance restricts spillover lighting from non-residential developments onto
residential developments.
Mr.Todd Wintters, Engineering Concepts,201 Windco Circle,Wylie,engineering firm for the applicant,
gave a presentation to the Commissioners,and stated that the average lot size is 7,900 square feet and
very few lots that will be 6,500 square feet.The overall average is larger than the 6,500 square feet
proposed minimum lot size.The entry to the development will make a statement unusual than any other
development.A screen wall will be along Stone Road and the entry will include additional landscaping.
For such a small piece there will be quite a number of trails that will join other existing trails.Another
interesting point is the park to the back of the property.The Kreymer family is requesting an existing tree
to be preserved,due to sentimental value to the son.
