FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT OF LOT 22R, BLOCK 1 RICHFIELD AT THE PARKS ADDITION (LOCATED AT 7708 CHANDLER ROAD) APPROVED City Council Minutes February 25, 2002 Page 5 Mr. Delbert Stembridge, representing applicant, was available to answer questions from council. Mr. Stembridge advised council that he was the engineer on the original subdivision of Richfield at the Parks. Mr. Stembridge advised council at the time the developer obtained the land to develop it was thought that the approximately 150 foot strip on the southeast corner belonged to Lone Star Gas. It was later determined that the bank did own the property when the developer bought the property. There is no need for the land and the bank would like to deed the property to the lot owner. The lot owner is requesting the replat to incorporate the property into his lot. Mr. Pitstick advised council the purpose of this plat is to remove a 7.5 utility easement situated near the center of the lot and relocate it closer to the eastern boundary to create a more effective lot. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval with the following stipulation that the screening wall be extended to the channel. Councilman Tolbert verified that the sidewalk would be extended to the channel. Mr. Pitstick advised council that both the screening wall and sidewalk would be extended to the channel. COUNCILMAN METTS MOVED TO APPROVE PS 2002-09 WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE FENCE AND SIDEWALK BE EXTENDED TO THE CHANNEL. COUNCILMAN TOLBERT SECONDED THE MOTION. Motion to approve carried 7-0. 12. PS 2002-03 CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE HOUSE OF GRACE CHURCH (LOCATED IN THE 7900 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD) APPROVED Mr. Wayne Flores, representing applicant, advised council that there are a few items of concern with the plat. The House of Grace Church is requesting the following: to extend the water line across Lot 1 at this time only, and extend across Lot 2 later in the future when it develops, or if the property to the north develops first and the city deems it necessary extend the line at that time. reimbursement for the off-site sanitary sewer line and or consideration of impact and inspection fees. City Council Minutes February 25, 2002 Page 6 The House of Grace Church believes that if the park (located to the east of their property), would have been developed by a private developer the developer would have been required to extend sanitary sewer to the upstream properties. The Church wants to know what allowances can be made. In particular the church is requesting something in writing that states when the property to south develops and ties into that sanitary sewer that they pay for their front footage costs. Request that they dedicate the easement for the detention pond, but build the pond to only handle the phase 1 development, and as they develop in the future the pond would be extended and enlarged. Mr. Flores informed council that the House of Grace Church would be willing to sign any agreement for the above mentioned stipulations. Council advised Mr. Flores that they were not in favor of renegotiating the final plat. Council informed Mr. Flores that the issues raised by the House of Grace Church should have been brought before staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Flores if applicant wished to move forward with plat or if they wanted to go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Flores advised council that he was informed of the concerns today. Mr. Flores wanted to know if they could move forward with the covenants if the plat is approved. Mr. Pitstick advised council the preliminary plat came forward on October 25, 2001. The applicant had platted a larger lot, and the only issue at that time was the park road that extends into the park. Staff sees that park road could become a city street at some time. Applicant is requesting a detention pond and they have worked with the Parks Department for drainage and off-site extension of the property. The property is heavily wooded and the applicant has shown that they are trying to preserve some of the trees along that area. The applicant is trying to preserve trees along the frontage of Park Road (detention pond area). The Planning and Zoning Commission heard request and they recommended approval with the stipulation that a note be added on the plat face stating that no ingress/egress to the adjacent Park Road will be permitted without city approval. Mr. Pitstick pointed out the requirement of the 30-day rule to council. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard the plat on February 14, 2002. Mr. Curtis informed council that initially when Public Works reviewed the subdivision the plan was to final plat both Lots 1 and 2. The Public Works Department reviewed the plat based on the request and made the recommendation that the utilities be extended as outlined in the ordinance. Mr. Curtis informed council that he received a call from a " w ~ _ ,_.. _ ~'..~_._,_......'."_.,,.~..,,_ ~ ~..__. _ _.... __ _"_m____"_"_."'___~_"_.._'_~__.__.~>.."'_.."'_____.~____~,,_,~._. City Council Minutes February 25, 2002 Page 7 representative from the church that they were receiving bids and became conscious of the costs and wanted to know what options were available to them. Mr. Curtis' response to the request were: - Water Line (8 inch) The City is requiring an 8-inch water line around the site that needs to be extended along the east property line to the north end of the site. The city ordinance requires that the water and all utilities be extended to the northern section of both platted lots. Mr. Curtis informed council that after the church got estimates they were trying to figure out options in reducing the cost. The church came back with the request to extend the water line to the north corner of Lot 1. The church is willing to sign a covenant or agreement stating that they will extend it further north to the north end of Lot 2 at the time that either the City requests that extension or whenever development north of Lot 2 develops. Mr. Curtis advised council that typically staff would have a covenant, at least a draft that they would present to council for a request of this nature. Off-Site Sanitary Sewer The city ordinance requires that the church a non-residential to design and install a minimum of an 8-inch sanitary sewer. The 8-inch sanitary sewer will be adjacent to undeveloped property located south of the park access road and the church has made the request that they are putting in a line that the undeveloped property will be able to connect to in the future. The church wanted to know if the city had a way of collecting a type of pro-rata charge for any future development. Mr. Curtis informed the church that the city no longer follows the pro-rata, which was changed by the state legislature, and the city now follows the impact fee. The laws dictate how the impact fees are paid. Mr. Curtis said based on the impact fee and the City's impact fee study there isn't anything proposed in that section that would allow for reimbursement. The church is required to put in an a-inch line and no impact fee is eligible to be reimbursed for that line. Mayor Scoma asked Mr. Curtis to explain as to when the city enters into development agreements. Mr. Curtis advised council that the city has had various agreements where the City has elected to let it be a city/developer contract, and the City has agreed to participate in a certain portion of contract. Mr. Curtis advised council that he would have to defer to the City Attorney if the City can enter into an agreement where someone connects to the line the city can collect money, as Mr. Curtis is not certain of that type of agreement. City Council Minutes February 25, 2002 Page 8 Detention Pond Mr. Curtis said that currently the City is working on a detention pond ordinance. The development did come forward before the ordinance was outlined and a draft brought before council. Mr. Curtis said that the design of the detention pond does meet the design requirements of the proposed ordinance. There were a couple of exceptions for landscaping and the size of the detention pond. Currently the pond is designed to carry the developed run-off from Lots 1 & 2. The church is trying to find a way to cut costs and their option is to reduce the size of the detention pond. Mr. Curtis believes a reasonable request would be for the church to build the pond to fully handle Lot 1 and then build the pond to handle the undeveloped flow from Lot 2 at this time. When Lot 2 is developed the church would make additional improvements to the pond. Mr. Curtis advised council if they would like additional landscaping around the pond they will have to consider taken action tonight. Councilwoman Johnson asked when the church believed they would develop Lot 2. Mr. Flores advised council that the church is looking at 5 years. Mr. Flores let council know that the House of Grace Church did not want to hold up the plat tonight, and they do not want the request tabled or denied. The church wanted to bring the issues forward for council for their consideration of possibly entering into a covenant at a later time. Mr. Pitstick advised council there might be one way if only Lot 1 was platted. If council approved the plat of Lot 1 the applicant would not be required to extend the water line north of Lot 1, and the detention pond would only have to built for Lot 1. Mr. Curtis included that the detention pond would have to include the run-off from Lot 2. Councilman Tolbert asked the applicant if they would have a problem with council only approving the plat of Lot 1. Mr. Flores advised council that the applicant did not have a problem with platting Lot 1. Councilman Tolbert also asked if the council had to do something with the 7.5 easement. Mr. Curtis advised council that the easement would not be needed if Lot 2 is not going to be platted. - -- - ___M.__.____··.,._....-~·____._·".."...~__.".n_"~_.__._~,__..._._,..W,~_._~.__....~"_..__.~.~_ City Council Minutes February 25, 2002 Page 9 Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Flores if applicant would have a problem with landscaping the detention pond. Mr. Flores advised council that the applicant did not have a problem with landscaping. Mayor Scoma asked Mr. Curtis to address if the City would be negatively affected by approving the plat for Lot 1. Mr. Curtis advised if council moves forward to approve Lot 1 and not approve final plat Lot 2 the City would need separate easement documents for the access easement. The terms for design and changes to the utilities can be worked out with the construction plans. Mr. Curtis does not see any major concerns in terms of the plat. The engineers will have to go back to the drawing board for the detention pond and they will have to revise their utility plan to show the new length for the water line. Mr. Curtis needs applicant to provide the access easement and make the changes to the construction plans. Mr. Cunningham asked Mr. Staples if the council should deny Lot 2. Mr. Staples advised not to deny Lot 2, but to approve Lot 2 and require that applicant resubmit the plat as it is finally to be recorded, which would only be of Lot 1. Mr. Flores said if council chooses to approve Lot 1 in addition to dedicating by separate easements the access easement, the applicant can dedicate the 7.5-foot utility easement and water line easement. Mr. Curtis asked for a point of clarification regarding the drainage. Mr. Curtis believes it would be reasonable if Lot 1 is approved as final plat and the detention pond be sized to carry all of Lot 1 fully developed and whatever part of Lot 2 that gets to it as undeveloped. Mr. Norwood commented that the access easement line up Bursey Road and there not be an offset with the access from the church. COUNCILMAN TOLBERT MOVED TO APPROVE PS 2002-03 FOR FINAL PLAT ON lOT 1 SUBJECT TO THE APPLICANT SUBMITTING A REVISED FINAL PLAT THAT CONTAINS THE AGREEMENTS REQUIRED FOR lOT 2 INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO AN ACCESS EASEMENT THAT WOULD LINE UP WITH BURSEY ROAD AS COMMENTED BY STAFF; AND THAT THE DETENTION POND ON lOT 1 BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE FLOW FOR lOT 1 AS DEVELOPED AND lOT 2 IN ITS UNDEVELOPED STATE; AND SUBJECT TO THE EXECUTION OF THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT TO BRING FORWARD ALL OF THE CONDITIONS INCLUDING THE MAINTENANCE OF THE DETENTIONIRETENTION POND.

City Council Minutes February 25, 2002 Page 11 Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Development, advised council that staff did take request back to the Planning and Zoning Commission as requested by council. Mr. Pitstick informed council that the Planning and Zoning Commission felt that Mr. Ko had shown a good faith effort to revise his site plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission suggested the following comments: 1. The dumpster should be screened with masonry materials as required by city codes. 2. Along the west side of the building, a 6' masonry wall should be constructed from the Glenview Drive property line back to the existing building. 3. All existing wood fences along the remaining west and north property lines will be replaced with new wood fencing. Mr. Ko has addressed the comments in his attached site plan with the exception of a new fence along the north property line. Mr. Ko also indicated that he would replace and reconstruct the existing pavement on site. Mr. Pitstick informed council that monument sign meets the setback and square footage requirements, but does not have masonry enclosure. Upon review with the City Attorney if council chooses to approve staff would recommend that applicant resubmit the site plan showing a masonry enclosure. Council asked about the northern property line fence. Mr. Ko informed council that the northern fence was recently put in by the apartment owner.
