PZ 2001-16 - PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM MARK WOOD
OF REBEL PROPERTIES III LTD. ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS FOR
A ZONING CHANGE ON 7.379 ACRES OF LAND FROM PD PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT AND R3 SINGLE FAMILY TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR
SINGLE FAMILY USES ON MINIMUM 5,400 SQUARE FOOT LOTS (PROPERTY
LOCATED IN THE 6400 BLOCK OF GLENVIEW DRIVE) - ORDINANCE NO. 2565
APPROVED
Mr. Mark Wood and Mr. Mark Howe of Rebel Properties summarized request for
council.
Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Development advised council that the plan proposes 37
lots for residential development and 3 lots for use as common areas. Two access
points are provided to the site, one from Glenview Drive on the north and one on
Harmonson Road on the south. The plan proposes three lots as common areas - two
of the lots are situated near the development entrances along Glenview Drive and
Harmonson Road and the third common area being internal to the site. The
Homeowners Association will be responsible for the maintenance of these common
areas. Staff recommends that the Homeowners Maintenance Agreement be similarly
structured to that of the recently approved Glenwyck Addition. Staff also recommends
a 5' fence maintenance agreement be added to the north side of Lots 1, 2, and 3 of
Block 1.
The applicant has requested the following variances:
· Lot size of 5,403 square foot minimum
· Lot width of 50' for interior lot and 55' for corner lot
· Lot depth of 110' minimum
· Side setback of 5'/10'

· Dwelling size of 1,600 square feet (8 lots) and 1,800 square feet (29 lots)
· Screening wall to be a 6' wrought iron fence with brick columns approximately
30'apart
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this request with the
following stipulations:
- A note be added to the site plan that stipulates that no more than 8
residences will be a minimum of 1600 square foot in size with the remaining
29 lots having an overall average residence size of 1800 square feet.
- A note be added to the site plan requiring the construction of a minimum 6'
wood fence along the west side of the development (including lot 3-common
area) as the homes are built.
Staff suggests that council use the verbiage "minimum" as opposed to "average"
residence size.
Council discussed in detail the fence options/variations, detention pond, screening wall
and common areas.
Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Cunningham what option was available to council in
regards to requiring a fence around the detention pond.
Mr. Cunningham advised council they could direct staff to evaluate the drainage of the
detention pond to see if it was necessary to erect a fence.
Mr. Pitstick advised council the stipulation pertaining to the detention pond could be tied
to the plat.
Mayor Scoma opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak to
come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the public
hearing.
Councilman Trevino moved to approve PZ 2001-16, Ordinance No. 2565 with the
following stipulations:

lots having an overall minimum residence size of 1800 square foot

of the property from Lot 1-22, Block 2 at a 6' minimum height

the PD.

Glenview and Harmonson along with landscape and maintenance of all three

determination of whether a fence is needed because of a dangerous
condition will be determined by staff.
