C.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS C.1 RP 2013 -17 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM NRH- TARRANT PROPERTIES, LLC FOR A REPLAT FOR LOT 1 R, BLOCK 1 BANNISTER ESTATES ON 0.9389 ACRES AT 7223 EDEN ROAD APPPC)VFn Mayor Trevino announced that Items C.1, C.2 and D.1 were related and therefore would be presented together but would be voted on separately. With Council concurrence, Mayor Trevino opened the public hearings on agenda items C.1 (RP 2013 -17) and C.2 (SUP 2013 -08) and called for the applicant to present the three items. Keith Hamilton, 8241 Mid - Cities Boulevard, Consulting Engineer on the Harmon Farms project came forward. The first item C.1, the replat is a portion of lot from Mr. Bannister's property, who sold the portion to the developer of Harmon Farms. Item C.2 is a request for a special use permit for two retention /detention ponds within the development. Item D.1 is the final plat for the property including a request for a variance for the cul -de -sac located on the west side of the development. The request is a reduction from the required 58 feet cul -de -sac right -of -way radius to a 50 foot cul -de- sac radius. Clayton Comstock Senior Planner, summarized the items. The replat is a result of the adjacent "Harmon Farms" development, to which Mr. Bannister is contributing the back portion of his existing 2.87 -acre property. Once the Bannister property is subdivided, City Council Minutes March 3, 2014 Page 5 the lot will continue to serve as their residence at 7223 Eden Road. The applicant is also requesting a Special Use Permit for two stormwater detention facilities for their 28- lot "Harmon Farms" residential subdivision on the west side of Eden Road between Amundson Drive and Rumfield Road. The applicant is requesting a variance in the design criteria for the two detention ponds proposed for the subdivision. The design of the two detention ponds does have the 100 year water surface rising above the natural ground elevation. The design does require walls to hold back the water during the 100 year storm event. Staff has reviewed the wall design and believes them to be designed appropriately to contain the water while the detention ponds slowly drain. The walls are not needed to hold back permanently standing water, only the rise in the water during the 100 year storm. The final plat for Harmon Farms is 28 residential lots and 2 open space lots on 9.998 acres on the west side of Eden Road between Hightower Drive and Rumfield Road. The applicant is also requesting a variance in the required radius of the cul -de -sac from 58 feet to 50 feet. The proposed subdivision is planned for two cul- de -sacs. For the first cul -de -sac located at the end of Kinley Court the Fire Department has reviewed the situation and believes the length of Kinley Court is short enough that the trucks can back out of the cul -de -sac. The cul -de -sac located at the end of Everglade Drive is too long for the trucks to back out. However, there is a drainage flume located in the cul -de -sac that if designed 12 feet wide and constructed with a pavement section strong enough to support the large fire trucks then the flume could be used to assist the trucks in turning around in the smaller cul -de -sac. This is not the preference of the Fire Department but it is an option that could allow the trucks room to turn around. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval for all three items by a 6 -0 vote. Mayor Trevino called for comments from those in support of or opposed to the requests. Mark Wood, 6617 Precinct Line Road, NRH, came forward. Mr. Wood was in favor of the project and wanted to thank staff for their help on the project. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearings for items C.1 and C.2. Mayor Trevino entertained a motion for item C.1.
