The motion was seconded by Mr. Wayne Moody, and the motion carried 5-0 with Mr. Collins and Mr. Miller abstaining due to absence at the previous meeting. 1. PS 92-11 Request of Calvin Sims for Preliminary Plat of Emerald Lakes Addition. This property is located south of Emerald Hills Way and east of Norich Park. Mr. Warren Hagan, 500 Grapevine Highway, Hurst, came forward to address the Commission. He introduced Mr. Dennis Spooner, who was representing Mr. Sims. Mr. Hagan stated that the property was currently zoned R-3, and that all the lots have a minimum of 7500 square feet. He stated that some lots were 8400 square feet, and a few were over 10,000 square feet. Mr. Hagan stated that all the lots have greater than 100 foot depth except for two, which are 90 foot square. He stated the corner lots provide for rear-, side-, or front- entry garages. He stated that the street pattern is laid out with the understanding that Newman Drive is to be extended through. He stated he understands that the City Council is considering a proposition to eliminate Newman Drive from the thoroughfare plan. Mr. Hagan stated that if that happens, he will come back to the Commission with a new layout. Chairman Brock stated that he thinks it is a tremendous plan, and in light of the City Council meeting on June 22, Mr. Hagan may be better served if the Commission were to table the plat, and then bring it back after the Council acts on the thoroughfare issue. Mr. Bowen asked if it were appropriate to consider taller fences on the south and west sides of the property. Mr. Collins stated that those issues can be addressed when Mr. Hagan comes back with a new plat, but that he would like to see at least a six foot fence because of the park to the west and the vacant acreage to the south. Mr. Hagan stated that it would not be problem, and would appreciate any items like that so he can go ahead and incorporate them in the plat. Mr. LeBaron stated that if Newman Drive becomes a residential street, it should resolve some of the lot frontage problems. Mr. Barfield stated that he would like to see more thought on designing the corner lots, where the building line was moved back to get the 65 foot width, so that the Board of Adjustment doesn't have quite as many cases of people coming before them to modify their lots. Mr. Hagan stated that a different type of layout and design would help that problem. Ms. Marin made the motion to table PS 92-11 until the June 25th Commission meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Collins, and the motion carried 7-0. STAFF REPORT Mr. LeBaron asked that the Commission continue to look through the revisions to the proposed Zoning Ordinance, and that at the next workshop they can continue going through the changes. CITIZEN COMMENTS None. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. /t~æ~ Don Bowen, Secretary
