The motion was carried unanimously (6-0) Mike Benton was absent. 5. FP 2008-06 Consideration of a Request from Clifford Land Company, LLC to Approve a Final Plat of Lots 1-29, Block A; Lots 1-4, Block B; and Lots 1-4, Block C, Brynwyck Addition (located in the 8800 Blocks of Martin Drive as well as Mid-Cities Boulevard - 9.96 acres). Cliff Harris, 8241 Mid Cities Blvd, NRH, came forward representing Brynwyck Development. Brynwyck is a mixed use development with a 30 lot residential portion and a 4 lot commercial office portion which is zoned Neighborhood Services. This zoning would allow for a few more uses than just offices. They have also included some open space in the development. The lots are going to average 60 x 120 and some of the cul-de-sac lots will be larger. They plan to start development as soon as they can get approved. Eric Wilhite came forward stating that this is a final plat for the Brynwyck Addition. The residential portion is consistent with the previously approved RI-PD for the lots ar}d layout. This also includes the common open space and street configurations. During the preliminary plat review and approval it was discussed to connect a mutual access easement for this development over to the east. This has been accomplished and they will have cross access to control the access points onto Mid Cities Blvd. Staff has reviewed at DRC and it does meet all subdivision rules and regulations. The Public Works department has reviewed this for rough proportionality and because all of the development is necessary for only this project the developer would be responsible for 100% of those costs. Staff recommends approval. APPROVED Bill Schopper seconded by Don Bowen, motioned to approve FP 2008-06. The motion was carried unanimously (6-0) Mike Benton was absent. 6. ZC 2008-07 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from R.T. Koonce to Approve a Zoning Change from AG (Agricultural) to R-1-S (Special Single Family) for Tract 3A3 in the D. Moses Survey (located at 7244 Eden Rd. -1.4 acres). Public Hearing opened at 7:08 p.m. John Morgan, 1105 Cheek Sparger Rd, Colleyville, with Moak Land Surveyors came forward representing the applicant. They are requesting a zoning change. The applicant will be demolishing the existing home and build a new home at this location. Page 2 of 4, 07 17-08 P & Z Minutes Chairman Shiflet asked if the applicant understood that with the zoning R-1-S that it has to be over an acre? Mr. Morgan said yes. Eric Wilhite came forward stating that this is a straightforward zoning change request from AG to R-1-S. The property is 1.4 acres and they are currently working on a final plat for this particular plat that you will probably be reviewed at the next meeting. Staff has reviewed and it is consistent with the comprehensive land use plan. It is a fairly larger tract than some of the lots that have been subdivided in that area but it still meets the low density that has been identified on the comprehensive plan. Staff has reviewed the request and recommends approval. Public Hearing closed at 7:10 p.m. APPROVED Bill Schopper, seconded by Kelly Gent, motioned to approve ZC 2008-07. The motion was carried unanimously (6-0) Mike Benton was absent. 7. ZC 2008-09 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Jon Westrom to Revise an RI-PD zoning district to allow for gated entry at Crestwood Estates Addition, Lots 11 R1-11 R23, BIk.6 (located in the 8200 Block of Starnes Rd.). Public Hearing opened 7:10 p.m. Barry Walling, 8200 Starnes, NRH, came forward requesting to change the entrance to Crestwood Estates to a gated entrance. There would be gates at both sides of the subdivision going in and out. Chairman Shiftlet asked if that would be the only change? Mr. Walling said yes. Steven Cooper asked if they would still maintain quite a few of the trees? Mr. Walling said yes, most of the trees will remain. They will be removing some of the smaller caliper trees and they will move the fence in and out to go around the big trees. Eric Wilhite came forward stating this is a request to revise a PD site plan that was approved in January 2007. The RI-PD's are particular in the criteria and requirements for the layout and site plan in the ordinance. When the applicant came to staff to request to gate this subdivision staff felt that since it is a significant change it was deemed most appropriate to bring it back before P & Z and City Council for approval. Page 3 ni 4, 07-17-08 P 8 Z Minutes When this was platted as a RI-PD it was dedicated and done as a private street. If someone wanted to come in and gate a subdivision that is not a private street they would have to go through the Special Use Permit process. Staff has reviewed the gate layout for traffic safety for the denied access and the location of the call box. Those types of things were discussed at DRC and there are some additional notes regarding that on the RI-PD exhibit. All of the other conditions for minimum square footage and elevation treatments, the preservation of tree masses around the front common area have also been discussed. They will submit a building permit and there will be notes made that they must articulate around the larger trees. Staff has reviewed and recommends approval. Public Hearing closed 7:15 p.m. APPROVED Kelly Gent, seconded by Steven Cooper, motioned to approve ZC 2008-09. The motion was carried unanimously (6-0) Mike Benton was absent.
