1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, a change in zoning from Agricultural
(A/30) to Planned Development-Single-Family (PD-SF), for single-family residential
development on approximately 38 acres, located at the northwest corner of Alanis Drive
and S. Ballard Ave. ZC 2014-13 (R. 011ie, Planning and Zoning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the applicant is requesting to establish permanent
zoning on approximately 38 acres of land, of which a portion contains a historical house known as "The
Stone House." The rich history of this site and structure will be incorporated into the overall theme of the
development. The applicant, and property owner, has worked diligently with Staff and with the Wylie
Historical Society to ensure that the house is relocated and preserved for its historic value.
The PD specifies minimum lot size of 7,200 s.f. and minimum dwelling size of 1,800 sf. Lots that backup
to Alanis Drive will be minimum 8,500 s.f. with a minimum dwelling size of 2,600 s.f. Maximum number of
lots shall not exceed 145 lots. No alleys are required within the property. The proposal sets 5 feet as the
minimum side yard requirement and 10 feet for corner lots. Mayor Hogue asked about the square
footage proposed in the PD. 011ie reported these were all minimums. The development was designed
similar to the Kreymer Estates and currently there were no homes built in Kreymer, to the minimum of
1,800 square feet. Maintenance of the park area will be the responsibility of the HOA. Maintenance of
the Stone House will be assisted by the Wylie Historic Society;full details are not yet finalized.
Properties to the north and west are developed as single-family residential dwellings on average lot sizes
of 7,700 s.f. and have been platted as Westwind Meadows Subdivision since the late seventies.
Southplace Estates located east of the subject tract across Ballard has been developed since 2002 as
single-family residential dwellings with minimum allowed lot sizes of 8,500 s.f. and average lot sizes of
10,000 s.f.
The historic Stone Family house must be moved to the north in order to accommodate future widening of
Alanis. The developer will be responsible for the relocation and will work with the City Engineer to ensure
the necessary rights-of-way are given. The actual location of the house will be designated by the final
plat.
An eight foot Hike & Bike Trail, with six feet in front of dwellings, will be installed to achieve a link in the
city park system. Distinctive striping and buttons, or similar, approved by city engineer shall be installed
at trail crossings. The proposed case will have single loaded streets along open space/parkland.
Developer/Council Discussion
Jim Douglas representing Douglas Properties, Inc. gave a short presentation regarding homes and
amenities that would be included in the proposed Planned Development. Councilman Scott noted his
concern with regard to small lots stating that the Comprehensive Ordinance was amended several years
ago to require larger lots in straight zoning. He had concerns with regard to the proposed lower square
footage and placing so many homes in the development. Scott stated that he believed Douglas
Properties could do better.
Douglas reported the cost to move the Stone House would be extensive with the fireplace being removed
and then rebuilt. The house will be repaired with structural needs and exterior needs. The historical
society will be responsible for the interior of the home.
Public Hearing
Mayor Hogue opened the public hearing on Zoning Case 2014-13 asking anyone wishing to
