HARTER FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM R -2, SINGLE FAMILY, TO R- 1-S, SPECIAL SINGLE FAMILY (LOCATED AT 7609 NORTH FORTY ROAD- 1.22 ACRES) - ORDINANCE NO. 3141 APPROVED Mayor Trevino advised that the next three items C.1 (ZC 2010 -08), C.2 (RP 2010 -09) and C.3 (SUP 2010 -09) were related and would open the public hearings for all three items but would vote on each item separately. Mayor Trevino called on the applicant to come forward. Ernest Hedgcoth representing the applicant came forward. Mr. Hedgcoth explained that the applicant's desire is to build a large accessory building on property he purchased behind his current residence. In order to build on the property, the zoning needs to be changed, the property needs to be replatted to be included with his current property and then a special use permit is needed to build the oversized accessory building. John Pitstick, Planning and Development Director, summarized each item. Mr. Steve Harter the resident and owner at 7609 North Forty would like to combine two parcels of land including a total of 1.22 acres for rezoning from R -2 to R -1 -S (special single family) in an effort to build a full masonry detached garage and storage building with access from Buck Street. The property is at the western terminus of both North Forty and Buck Street. Staff is recommending approval and sees this as an interim use with the anticipation that Buck Street would be extended to the west in the future and could allow for the redevelopment of R2 single family lots to occur. The proposed garage and City Council Minutes May 9, 2011 Page 7 storage area will be all brick and is set back approximately 85 feet from Buck Street. With the approval of the rezoning the next step is to replat the property. Mr. Harter is requesting to combine Lot 4, Block 4, McComas Addition and a portion of Block A, Hewitt Estates into a single lot more than 1 acre for the purpose of rezoning to R -1 -S and requesting a special use permit to build an oversized detached garage and storage building. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of both the rezoning request (ZC 2010 -08) and the replat request (RP 2010 -09) by a 5 -0 vote. As per Section 118 -719 of the City of North Richland Hills Zoning Ordinance, accessory structures located in the R -1 -S district that exceed 500 square feet require the approval of a Special Use Permit. The proposed garage /shop is 1,368 square feet (36' X 38') with additional porch and covered area covered by the roof structure. The site plan also indicates a packed pea gravel road base driveway which would be allowed under the rural R -1 -S zoning district for access to accessory buildings. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of SUP 2010 -09 with the stipulation that an interior floor plan of the accessory building be provided as part of the site plan and indicating that the only use of the accessory building will be for storage of personal vehicles, equipment and household storage associated with the main house at 7609 North Forty Road.

OF MARTIN DRIVE - 7.685 ACRES) — ORDINANCE NO. 3143 APPROVED Mayor Trevino advised that the public hearing had been previously opened and called on the applicant to come forward and present the item. Danny Satsky, 2712 Summit Ridge, Grapevine, came forward representing K. Hovnanian Homes. Since the PowerPoint presentation was not working Mr. Satsky used the overhead with printed copies of the powerpoint showing images of the proposed homes and speaking of the quality materials being used for the development. John Pitstick, Planning and Development Director, summarized each item. This case was originally heard and approved on May 17, 2007 as a residential infill planned development with 30 residential lots accessed off of Martin Road with front swing garages. No development has occurred and K. Hovnanian Homes is now requesting a planned development revision to build 36 lots with front entry garages with revisions in emergency access to Mid Cities Boulevard and revisions to common open space. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 5 -0 vote with stipulations that 50% of the front entry garages be constructed with tandem cedar clad garages; a minimum of 5 lots to be required to have side or rear entry garages and 50% of all front entry homes have a minimum backyard open space of at least 1,000 square feet. The applicant has made changes to the site plan drawings to conform with P &Z's motion. There was some discussion regarding requiring 100% of the front entry homes to have tandem garage doors as requested by staff. The Commission felt that 100% tandem garage doors was not appropriate because the smaller doors with a brick column in between could be a tight fit and a burden for parking larger trucks and SUV's.
