Adcock to rezone Tract 8, Abstract 321, Wm. Cox Survey, from its present classification of 1F-9-1500-0ne Family Dwellings to a proposed classification of Agriculture. This property is located on the south side of Starnes Road, approximately 1630 feet west of Smithfield -Road and bounded on the south by Briarwood Estates Addition. . Amon T. Adcock came forward. He stated that approximately 1 year ago they had asked for this property to be 1F-9-1500, single family, which was granted. Mr. Adcock said they had the property platted. He said they had some problems with the property owners to the east. He said this caused an additional expense of $40,000 which was too expensive for the 37 lots. Mr. Adcock said they were requesting to go back to Agricultural zoning so they can develop 4 large tracts which would meet the requirement of Agricultural zoning. ~ Page 4 P & Z Minutes April 22, 1982 . Mr. Hannon said he understands that Mr. Adcock wants to build on 4 tracts and sell them off by metes and bounds. Mr. Adcock said that was correct. Mr. Hannon said there is a requirement in the Subdivision Ordinance which would allow you to build only two tracts without having to plat. He said with only 11.792 acres, if you break it up in 4 or smaller lots, you would have to plat the property. Mr. Hannon stated that there had been times the staff had issued a building permit without requiring that the property be platted. He said this is an error and the Commission does not want to continue to make the same mistakes. . Mr. Greenfield said if Mr. Adcock did not feel it would be feasible, the Commission would request his money be refunded. Mr. Adcock said they met with some city staff and thought they were doing the right thing. Mr. Tucker said to remain in Agricultural zoning you could have two acres or more, but to zone to Agriculture with less than 5 acres, you would have to plat. Mr. Hannon said you would be giving up your options if you change to Agriculture. Mr. Adcock said they did not want to damage anyonels property with drainage. Mr. Tucker said he could divide it into 4 lots and leave it 1F-9 zoning. He said there would be less run off with the larger lots. Mr. Adcock requested he be allowed to speak with his partner, James Rust. . Mr. James Rust, 5001 Gage, came forward. He said they had been trying to get an easement to run $72,000 of off site sewer Page 5 P & Z Minutes April 22, 1982 . . . ~ and also found out they had a drainage problem. Mr. Rust said the total cost was $392,000 divided by 37 lots. Mr. Rust said he builds large homes. He said he built a 90 acre subdivision in Southlake where he would build a large house, ranch type fence and barn and would sell the whole package for $160,000 to $180,000. Mr. Rust said that was what they plan to do here. Mr. Rust said they could not find anyone who would give them their money back on the land. He said they got both the preliminary and final plats approved by the council and when they brought their check in for the pro rata they found out that another engineer had said they need more drainage. Mr. Rust said they spent between $12,000 and $15,000 just to clean up the property. Mr. Hannon asked if the plat was approved. Mr. Rust said it was, that there were only two requirements. Mr. Hannon said if it was approved, why wasnlt it recorded. Mr. Bronstad said it was approved subject to the Engineerls comments regarding the drainage so it was never recorded. Mr. Tucker asked if they would like to postpone this request till the next meeting. Mr. Tucker said the 1F-9 zoning would be more restrictive than the Agricultural zoning. He asked if they would want to have animals. Mr. Rust said they usually want to have a horse or two. Mr. Tucker said they would probably need the Agricultural zoning, but he would still have to plat the property. ~ Page 6 P & Z Minutes Apri 1 22, 1982 . The Chairman asked if they wanted to continue with the zoning request. Mr. Rust said they did. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Hannon said the $72,000 off site sewer would figure about $2,000 per lot. Mr. Adcock said the $72,000 was over and above the initial cost. He said the total cost was approximately $333,000 for 37 lots which would be about $10,000 per lot. Mr. Hannon asked how much he could sell the lots for. Mr. Adcock said they would sell from $11,500 to $13,500. Mr. Hannon said to go to the 4 large lots would be more feasable. Mr. Adcock said that was correct. PZ 82-10 APPROVED Mr. Tucker said in order to get it on the floor, he would move to approve PZ 82-10. This motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and the motion carried 4-1 with Mr. Hannon voting against. 5. PS 82-10 Request of J.B.
