PS 82-15 Ms. Nash moved, seconded by Mr. Bowen, to approve the minutes as written. This motion carried 3-0 with Mr. Hannon abstaining since he was not present at the meeting. Request of Lartnec, Inc. for replat of Lots 3R & 4R, Block 1, Tapp Addition. Delbert Stembridge, Consulting Engineer, came forward to represent Lartnec, Inc. Mr. Stembridge said Lartnec owns the 5 lots left by the Factory Outlet Mallon Rufe Snow Drive. Mr. Stembridge said TESCO had requested some additional easements which he did not want to give. He said he felt they probably were not needed so he called TESCO and the owner of the property and they said he could leave them off and if they needed them, they could get them at a later date. Mr. Tucker stated our ordinance states we are to contact the utility companies to see if any easements are needed and if so it is best to get them on the plat before it is recorded. . Mr. Stembridge said TESCO stated he could leave them off because they might never need them,. ""'IIIIIIII Page 2 P & Z Minutes June 9, 1982 . Ms. Nash said it would seem best if they were shown on the plat. PS 82-15 APPROV ED Mr. Hannon moved to approve PS 82-15 subject to adding the easements prior to going to council. Mr. Stembridge said the original plat was just done two months ago; why didn1t they request the additional easements then? The motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 4-0. 2. PZ 82-16 Request of Ramey, Owen, & Luper to rezone Lot A, Block 30, College Hill Addition, from its present classification of Local Retail to a proposed classifi- cation of 2F-9-Two Family Dwellings. This property is located at the southwest corner of Smithfield Road and Watauga Road. Chuck Owens, 6129 Abbott Ave, an Associate of Charles Owen Company, came forward. He passed out preliminary drawings of the layout of the land. . Mr. Owens stated they were requesting this zoning change from Local Retail to duplexes. He said they plan dual ownership of the duplexes, highly restricted owner-occupied subdivision. Mr. Owens said the site will have 10 units with a total value of over $1,000,0001 the homes will front on a 220 ft. long city street with a cul-de-sac. He said they would have a 30 ft. wide street, lighted, with concrete curb and gutter, and drainage as required by city specifications. Mr. Owens said it is proposed that the sanitary sewer will be installed by extending the existing service line located at the north- west corner of the tract in Watauga Road, and water will be served from a line adjacent to the property on the west side of County Road #3004 (Smithfield Road). . Mr. Owens said the homes will be totál electric with underground electric and telephone service lines. He said power ~ Page 3 p & Z Minutes June 9, 1982 . will be served from existing overhead power lines running along the south and west property lines to limit any require- ments for additional power poles. He said these homes will have rear-entry driveways extending from a concrete paved access way on the south and west which will be built to city specifications with the homes on the north entering onto Watauga Road. Mr. Owens said all the homes will be 100% brick and have an architecturally appealing exterior design of like quality to ones in these pictures. He showed the Commission several photos. Mr. Owens said the exterior styles will vary and an emphasis will be placed on decorative characteristics such as shutters, columns, railings, etc. and the homes will be completed with landscaping and fences before occupancy. Mr. Owens said each homeowner will be required to sign a restrictive covenant governing the care and maintenance of the property and these covenants will be strictly enforced. Mr. Owens said they feel this development will be an aesthetically appealing asset to the community and will bring in residents employed by commercial and industrial firms in the area. . The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. H. L. Rupert, 6220 Price Drive, came forward. He said the east side of his property backs up to this property. Mr. Rupert asked how large these duplexes would be. Mr. Owens stated they would be 2000 to 2400 sq. ft., which would be 1000 to 1200 sq. ft. for each unit. Mr. Rupert asked if there would remain the 10 ft. easement on the west side of the property. . Mr. Tucker said he could not answer this because this is a zoning matter. He said """I11III Pa ge 4 p & Z Minutes June 9, 1982 . this would be decided at the platting of this property. Mr. Bronstad said there would be a 5 ft. on each side of the property line on the wes t. The Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Allen Hill Jones, 7813 Owen Drive, came forward. He said he was against any building there. Mr. Jones said he would like to see what they propose to build. He was shown the plans. . Mr. Jones asked if they would be required to put up a fence. Mr. Tucker stated the issue here is to downgrade to duplexes instead of retail where they could put a 7-11 store, etc. without changing the zoning. He said at the time of platting they will have to meet the subdivision code and when they come in for their building permit, they will have to meet the city building code. Mr. Bronstad said the city doesn1t have an ordinance that requires a fence in duplex zoning. Mr. Tucker said Mr. Owens stated there would be fences. Mr. Hannon said Mr. Owens has told us what they plan to do-it might fall through because of financing, etc., but all we are considering is if this property is better for residential or for retail. Mr. Jones said he did not want anything there. . Mr. Hannon said they could not restrict a man to not be able to use his land. ""'I11III Page 5 P & Z Minutes June 9, 1982 . The Chairman 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. Mr. Hannon requested the developer meet with the Planning Commission before he starts the platting process. PZ 82-16 APPROV ED Mr. Bowen moved to approve PZ 82-16 as requested. This motion was seconded by Mr. Hannon and the motion carried 4-0. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:00 P. M. ~~~{ --z;¿ CH N P[ NNING AND ZONING COMMISSION . .
