This property is located on the north side of Harwood Road and is bounded on the west by Northridge Addition. Mr. Hannon said due to a conflict of interest, he would step down and abstain from discussion and voting on this item. . Page 11 P & Z Minutes March 24, 1983 . Tommy Tompkins, 1504 Sunnybrook, Irving, Texas came forward. He stated he had a slide presentation. Mr. Tompkins said Mr. C. N. Marsh is a partner in Teeton Construction Company which is proposing this Planned Unit Development. He said Mr. Marsh bought this property in 1967. Mr. Tompkins said this tract is located approximately 500 yards west of State Highway 26 and north on Harwood Road. He said out of the 27.85 acres, they are requesting a zoning change on 16 acres to the far west of the tract. Mr. Tompkins said this tract was originally zoned in 1968 to Multi-Family and Local Retail, the Local Retail being about 200 feet deep. He said there was a street platted there as Eldorado Boulevard and the name was later changed to Newman Drive. Mr. Tompkins said they are requesting this Newman Drive be abandoned. . Mr. Tompkins said with the good access in the Metroplex area, Pipeline Road, Davis Boulevard, Precinct Line Road, and Bedford Euless Road being made arteries, and with Loop 820 and· Highway 26, they feel this site is ready for development to good quality Multi-Family. Mr. Tompkins showed the slides to the Commission. Mr. Tompkins said he had contacted all the utility companies and they see no problem with the proposed complex. He said also, this 16 acres is not located in the flood plain. . Mr. Tompkins said this complex would cater to the mature professionals, 30-39 years old, the young achievers, under the age of 30, not married and with no children, and the blue collar professionals. Page 12 p & Z Minutes March 24, 1983 . Mr. Tompkins said this Teeton Planned Residential Community will probably be the most luxurious complex around. He said it would have a security gate at the front entrance on Harwood Road. Mr. Tompkins said the development site would provide four swimming pools, four spas, four hot tubs, and several gazebos and trellis. He said all trash containers would be screened and they will have a fence all the way down the western side. Mr. Tompkins said the parking spaces along the west side will be moved back four feet from the fence and this area will be landscaped. He said the buildings would be 75 feet from the property line and the buildings on the west side will not be over two stories in height. . Mr. Tompkins showed slides of the different floor plans that would be available. He said they would be equipped with microwave ovens and washer/dryer connections. Mr. Tompkins said they are very concerned with security. He said this is one of the reasons he feels Newman Drive should be abandoned. He said there would be a lot of traffic on Newman Drive and Newman Drive dead-ends on their property. Mr. Tompkins said that someone would have to put in a bridge to the north over Walker creek. He said then this would cause traffic to go north by the Thomas Elementary School. . Mr. Tompkins said they already have Multi-Family zoning and they are just asking for a greater density of apartments. He said with the greater density, they will be able to have more amenities. Page 13 P & Z Minutes March 24, 1983 . Acting Chairman Bowen said the site plan shows a minimum of 460 square feet units, but Mr. Tompkins did not show any this size on the slides. Mr. Tompkins said they do not plan any 460 square feet units, their smallest unit would be 520 square feet. Mr. Tompkins said also, the site plan shows minimum setbacks, but most of the buildings will be set a greater distance apart. Mr. Wood asked what would be the average rent on these apartments. . Mr. Tompkins said it would be approximately 65 cents per square foot. He said they would probably start out charging 55 cents per square foot and as the occupancy grows, they would increase it to 65 cents per square foot. Mr. Schwinger asked if this was to be a closed development with no access out to the north. Mr. Tompkins said that was correct. He said if they had to open up Newman Drive, he could not use this plan. Mr. Schwinger asked what about fire protection. Mr. Tompkins said once this is approved, they will get with the fire department and see what is needed. He said none of their roads would dead-end, they are a continuous circle. Mr. Tompkins said they will have fire plugs where ever needed and whatever is required by the fire department. . Mr. Schwinger said you cannot vary from this plan if it is approved. Page 14 P & Z Minutes March 24, 1983 . Mr. Tompkins said they might have to move some of the buildings around to provide fire access. He said the worst thing that might happen would be they might have to delete a building or move a building and stack it further to the west. Mr. Wood asked where the three story units would be located. . Mr. Tompkins said most of them would be to the east. He said the reason for this is if this development is a success, they plan to come in at a later date for the second phase of development and they will just flip this plan over and use it again on the remainder of this property. He said they hope to start this project in June of this year and be completed within a year; they they would consider when to do the second phase of the development. Mr. Wood asked if they would provide a security guard at all times. Mr. Tompkins said they would. Ms. Nash stated she is not happy with the 25 units per acre. Mr. Tompkins said if they were not granted this density, they would have to charge $1.25 per square foot. He said with the amount of amenities they will ,have, it is just a matter of economics. Mr. Tompkins said Las Calanas has 33 units per acre. He said there will be no children in this complex to burden the schools. . The Acting Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Page 15 P & Z Minutes March 24, 1983 . Merideth Thomas, 5301 Colorado Blvd., came forward. He said his only concern is the fence. He said they plan to build a fence of cedar, and wood fences over a period of years get rickety. Mr. Thomas said he would prefer they use metal poles. He said they assured us they would use cedar and would maintain the fence. Mr. Thomas also said they promised to have the cars set back 6 feet away from the fence. He said he feels this development will be nice for the community. He said he would like to see them build an 8 foot high fence and build it out of something nice. The Acting Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . There being no one wishing to speak, the Acting Chairman closed the Public Hearing. PZ 83-21 APPROVED Mr. Schwinger made the motion to approve PZ 83-21 subject to the abandonment of Newman Drive and subject to submitting a replat. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and the motion carried 3-1 with Ms. Nash voting against. Mr. Hannon returned to the Commission table. 20. PZ 83-22 Request of Miller of Texas to rezone a portion of Tract 3, Thomas Sprouce Survey, Abstract 1399, from its present classification of IF-9-0ne Family Dwellings and Local Retail to a proposed classification of Multi-Family.

PZ 83-23 Request of Miller of Texas to rezone a portion of Tract 3, Thomas Sprouce Survey, Abstract 1399, from its present classification of 1F-9-0ne Family Dwellings and Local Retail to a proposed classification of Local Retail. This property is located on the east side of Rufe Snow Drive and is approximately 950 feet south of Bursey Road. Mr. Rick Sheddy came forward to represent Miller of Texas. He said they requesting these rezonings on only a portion of their property. Mr. Hannon asked if they had made a market study which showed it good to have Multi-Family adjoining Local Retail. . Mr. Sheddy said they have not, but they plan to come back later with a request for IF-8 zoning and feel they need a buffer / between it and the Local Retail. Mr. Hannon said in order for the Commission to decide if this is the highest and best use of this land, does Miller of Texas have specific plans for this project. Mr. Sheddy said they do not at this time, but they did not want to put Multi-Family on Rufe Snow. He said there is already some Local Retail on Rufe Snow and they are just asking for the Local Retail to go all along Rufe Snow and the Multi-Family behind it. Mr. Sheddy said they plan to come back later and ask for duplex and IF-8 zoning for the remainder of their property. Mr. Sheddy showed the Commission their plans for future development. .
