She stated she and the homeowners are in opposition to the downgrading of the area which would also downgrade the City of North Richland Hills. Ms. Hall said it would be a shame to not have a nice area in North Richland Hills to build. She said she is against bringing down the square footage. Mr. Royston stated this property would have the same restrictions of 2,000 square foot homes and 10,400 square foot lots. Ms. Hall stated she had been misinformed. She said she had been quoted the minimum house would be 1200 square feet. . Chairman Tucker said not this request; this is for R-2. Mr. Bowen said they are wanting to delete the R-6-T Townhomes. He said this would be an upgrade. Chairman Tucker stated that the City and the Developer are working together to get a golf course. He said a development phase situation gives the City 6 months to get a golf course operator for the City. He said if the City fails in its efforts, we can not deny the Developer the use of this land. Chairman Tucker said Mr. C. A. Sanford is heading this operation. He said the Developer will give the City approximately 100 acres of land for the golf course. . Mr. Wood said the phases and dates are Phase 1 & 6 no sooner than May 1, 1988 Phase 2 no sooner than October 1, 1988 Phase 3 no sooner than January 1, 1989 Phase 4 & 5 no sooner than March 1, 1989. Page 5 P & Z Minutes April 14, 1988 . Jack Mabry, President of the Homeowners Association, came forward. He said this developer came in a few years ago and agreed to some stipulations. He said they agreed to build a dam, and they did. Mr. Mabry said the lake no longer seeps. He said the other stipulation was they would not get any building permits until they had in a golf course. Mr. Mabry asked if the Commission is going to let them off of the agreement. Chairman Tucker stated they traded the golf course for Multi-Family and R-6-T zoning, then they sold the Multi-Family to the church. Mr. Mabry asked if this zoning request takes away the R-8 the Planning and Zoning Commission turned down. . Chairman Tucker said this request has nothing to do with that request. He said that appeal hearing is April 25th. Mr. Lueck asked what the agreement was. Mr. Mabry said the agreement was to fix the dam and build a golf course before any building permits were issued. Mr. Wood stated he was on the Board at that time and it was a multi-phase Planned Development and no permits were to be granted in the Multi-Family until the golf course was built. Brad Hansen, 5068 Lake View Circle, came forward. He said he was not necessarily against the Phase Plan, but why change the OC at this time. . Mr. Royston stated that in order to protect the agreement, the phases would become effective at an allotted time. He said even if two phases are developed they could still have a golf course. Page 6 P & Z Minutes April 14, 1988 · Mr. Hansen stated he is in favor of giving up the R-6-T for the R-2. Mr. Bowen stated the zoning would not become effective until the set dates. He said the City has 9 months to find a contractor for the golf course. Mr. Hansen said he just wanted to make sure they don't bargain it away so they can't have a golf course. Allen Parkmson, 5020 Skylark Court, came forward. He said 9 months is a very short time. He said he felt they should make a stipulation that they can not come back in and rezone. · Chairman Tucker stated the Board would have to consider the highest and best use of the land. He said they could come back in 6 months legally and request a rezoning if they wish. Mr. Lueck said he just needs to stay aware of what goes on and just show up. Mr. Parkmson said it is easier to get the zoning changed each time. Mr. Bowen stated there are approximately 25 lots in Phase 1 and 20 lots in Phase 2. Jack Curry, 5040 Skylark Court, came forward. He said they have "For Sale" signs up already. Mr. Wood said he has the same concerns. He said the zoning has not been granted, but they can offer the lots for sale, but it still has to be platted before they can build. Mr. Curry asked if this zoning is granted, can they sell lots. · Mr. Wood said the zoning for the R-8 lots will be heard by the City Council on April 25th. Page 7 P & Z Minutes April 14, 1988 . Sterling Ragsdale, 4901 Dory Court, came forward. He said he is not here to speak for or against this request, but the configuration of the golf course is important to all the people in Meadow Lakes and they all need to be informed, not just the ones within 200 feet. Mr. Ragsdale said they are tired of this mess; if they are not going to do anything, just forget it. Chairman Tucker said they are asking for R-2 zoning and then they would have to plat the property. Mr. Ragsdale asked if they would be notified when they plat. Chairman Tucker said it is not a requirement to notify the property owners when you plat a raw piece of property. . Mr. Royston said the layout of the lots will be determined at a later date. He said we do not have to notify property owners when we plat, only if it is a replat. Mr. Ragsdale said he thinks the ones who have been promised a golf course should be notified. Mr. Bowen stated that just platting Phases 1 & 2 would not harm the golf course. Chairman Tucker called for anyone else wishing to speak to please come forward. There being no one else wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. . Page 8 p & Z Minutes April 14, 1988 . PZ 88-5 APPROVED Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PZ 88-5. This motion was seconded by Ms. Flippo. Mr. Wood asked Mr. Bowen if he would amend his motion to add the stipulations of 10,400 square foot lots and 2,000 square foot houses. Mr. Bowen amended his motion to include the stipulations. This amended motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and the motion carried 7-0. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:15 P.
