C.2 RP 2013-07 Consideration of a request from RSMC Properties for a Replat for Lot 2111, Block 1, Tapp Addition on 1.181 acres located at 6209 Rufe Snow Dr. Ron McFarland, 6553 Lakeside Circle, NRH came forward as the owner stating he bought the old Tippins Restaurant out of bankruptcy eight years ago and has remodeled the building into a restaurant. Chad VanSteenberg came forward stating this is a single lot commercial replat where Sparks Sports Bar and Dickies BBQ are located. The replat will correct a former subdivision by metes and bounds without platting. The existing southern property line on which the bar and restaurant are located is also at the building line which causes issues with the fire rated wall requirements in the building code. The property is currently platted as Lot 2R and the northern portion of Lot 3R1, Block 1, Tapp Addition. This Plat along with the Grandy's Plat will property plat Lot 3R1. No right-of-way dedication or public infrastructure is required and Staff recommends approval. APPROVED Don Bowen motioned to approve RP 2013-07. The motion was seconded by Mike Benton. The motion passed (6-0). Chairman Shiflet asked Chad VanSteenberg if there was anything that would prohibit the Commission from approving RP 2013-04 without the applicant present and is he prepared to brief them about this request? Chad VanSteenberg said the applicant for RP 2013-04 is John Sargent on behalf of Oneida Realty Company requesting approval of a two lot commercial Replat on 1.083 acres at 5205 Rufe Snow Drive just south of the previous case where the existing Grandy's is located. This Replat will allow for the redevelopment of this property from one restaurant into two separately platted restaurants to include a new Grandy's. The Development Review Committee is currently in review of the site plan. The property is currently platted as Lot 4R. The original Lot 3R1 in the middle was subdivided by metes and bounds without an approved plat and conveyed to the property owners on each side. The two properties will properly Plat Lot 3R1. There is no right-of-way dedication or public improvements required and Staff recommends approval. Don Bowen asked if the drive-in to the Grandy's from Rufe Snow could possibly be reconfigured to eliminate traffic from backing up. Chad VanSteenberg said he believes this site plan proposes to keep it where it is currently located and Public Works Department has reviewed it. October 17, 2013 P&Z Minutes Page 4 There was a general discussion regarding the traffic flow of Grandy's drive through between Staff and the Commission. Mike Benton asked if there is any record of how many accidents have been reported at that intersection. Caroline Waggoner said they did not pull the traffic records but is not aware of any history of accidents due to site configuration. Chad VanSteenberg said that Staff would review the configuration again. APPROVED Bill Schopper motioned to approve RP 2013-04. The motion was seconded by Kathy Luppy. The motion passed (6-0). Chairman Shiflet said to let the applicant know that they need to be present at the City Council meeting to answer any questions and ensure it gets approved. C.3 ZC 2013-21 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from Pedro Ventura for a Zoning Change from R-1 Single Family to R-1-S Special Single Family for Lots 4 and 5, Block 5, Morgan Meadows Addition on 3.3317 acres located at 6732 Little Ranch Rd. Julio Rodriguez, 6723 Little Ranch Road came forward on behalf of Pedro Ventura for a Zoning Change in order to build a fence on their property that will meet the subdivision rules and regulations. Chad VanSteenberg stated this Zoning Change at the southeast corner of Little Ranch and North Forty. The applicant is requesting a rural style front yard fence as well as horses on the property, which both require the R-1-S designation. The property is platted as Lot 4 and 5, Block 5 of the Morgan Meadows Addition and both of the lots individually are at least one acre in size, so this R-1-S does not require a replat. The single family residence is located on Lot 5. Staff recommends approval of ZC 2013-21. Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing asking if anyone wished to speak on this case. Seeing none, the Public Hearing was closed and a motion was entertained. APPROVED Mike Benton motioned to approve ZC 2013-21. The motion was seconded by Don Bowen. The motion passed (6-0). CA. October 17, 2013 PU Minutes Page 5 RP 2013-08 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from Caleb Mont Mallette for a Replat for Lot 40R, Block 1, W.E. Odell Addition on 0.661 acres located at 8321 Odell St. Caleb Mallete, 1137 Country Hill, Keller, TX came forward stating he and his wife have been wanting to purchase this property for over ten years to build their single family home on. The lots are being replatted to comply with the zoning regulations. Clayton Comstock said this replat to combine two lots into one lot for their single family residential building permit located at 8321 Odell Street. He currently owns three lots but only combining the two for their home. The lots are in the Transit Oriented Development District which allows for much denser properties. The two lots combined will be 120 feet wide by 240 feet deep with a twenty foot build to zone. This is the first single family residential home in the TOD so it will be closer than others in the neighborhood. There was a general discussion about the past and current zoning of Odell Street. Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing. Lloyd Autry, 8229 Odell came forward with drainage concerns from the new single family residence. Don Bowen asked to have a report from Public Works regarding the drainage concerns. Caroline Waggoner said she met with Mr. Autry last week and Public Works is aware of some drainage issues on Odell Street. There is a major undeveloped property to the north with a significant amount of drainage that comes through. There is the tail end of the improved drainage system to the north of the property. There is more drainage that needs to be done as the property develops. We do not have the easements need to put the infrastructure in place as of today, but it will be fixed over time as development occurs. The flow of water is from west to east across the rear of these properties, so the water Mr. Autry is referencing is flowing through his rear yard. Mr. Mallette's new proposed home to the east is up close to Odell Street, but his flow is going to be directed into the concrete channel at the northeast channel of his property as per his approved grading plan. His drainage is not impeding the flow of the water coming further from the west. Steven Cooper asked where Mr. Autry's property was in relation to Mr. Mallette's new home. Caroline Waggoner continued stating that currently the water behind the properties is flowing into the channel. Mr. Mallette's drainage will go to that channel. No fill will be allowed on the rear which would be of concern. Mr. Autry asked about the water culvert on Davis Boulevard that is blocked by a beaver's dam. October 17, 2013 P&Z Minutes Page 6 Chairman Shiflet suggested that Public Works look at the culvert to be cleaned. When the property to the north develops, that developer will be responsible for clean- up and drainage. APPROVED Kathy Luppy motioned to approve RP 013-08. The motion was seconded by Don Bowen. The motion passed (6-0). C.5. ZC 2013-17 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from Jamie and Barbara Boyd for a Zoning Change from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-2 Single Family Residential on a 0.4236-acre portion of Lot 5, Block 4, Hewitt Estates Subdivision located at 7608 Hewitt Street. C.6. RP 2013-10 Public Hearing and Consideration of a request from Jamie and Barbara Boyd for a Replat for Lots 5R1 and 5R2, Block 4, Hewitt Estates Addition, being 0.9302 acre located at 7608 Hewitt Street. Chairman Shiflet said both cases will be presented but voted on separately. Barbara Boyd, 7608 Hewitt, NRH came forward representing her husband, Jamie Boyd, with a request for zoning change and replat so the Boyd's daughter and her husband can build a single family home behind their property. Clayton Comstock came forward stating the replat and zoning change presented are being proposed to subdivide into two lots where one lot will face Frankie B. Street and the other facing Hewitt Street. The southern lot does not meet the R-1 zoning depth requirement of 120 feet in depth, so it is being requested to rezone to R-2, which is 110 feet minimum requirement. The lot 5R1 to the north will remain R-1. A fifteen foot sanitary sewer easement is being dedicated along the east will allow the lot to be on public sewer. Chairman Shiflet asked if anyone wished to speak for or against, seeing none a motion was entertained. APPROVED Steven Cooper motioned to approve ZC 2013-17. The motion was seconded by Mike Benton. The motion passed (6-0). APPROVED Bill Schopper motioned to approve RP 2013-10. The motion was seconded by Steven Cooper. The motion passed (6-0).
