PS 98-16 Request of David Branach for a Final Plat of Lot 9, Block 15, Glenann Addition.
(Located in the 9200 Block of Martin Drive)
Mr. David Branach is the applicant and owner of the property located at 9200 Martin Drive. Mr.
Branach would like to construct a single family home on this property. Mr. Branach previously came
before the Planning & Zoning Commission on February 26, 1998 and received approval of the
preliminary plat.
One of the requirements of the preliminary platting process was that Mr. Branach rezone his property
from the current AG Agricultural to R-1-S Residential. Mr. Branach has filed a rezoning request that
will be heard by the Commission at a later date. The issues associated with this final plat are as
follows:
1. Drainage Analysis: The existing storm drain system west of Chilton Drive to the channel will
require future city storm drain improvements. The Public Works Department feels that Mr.
Branach’s development should continue to drain to the Chilton Drive storm drain. However, there
is currently no time table for improvements to the storm drain in Chilton Drive to the channel. Mr.
Branach has agreed to provide the necessary drainage easements.
2. Fire Hydrant: The location of fire hydrants does not adequately cover the entire lot as proposed.
However, the proposed location for the residence and the existing barn are covered by the 500’
radial distance from the fire hydrant. The applicant is therefore requesting a waiver from providing
fire protection for remaining portions of property.
3. Street Lighting: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are a requirement. Costs of
which are to be paid directly to TU Electric and coordinated with the city.
All other engineering comments have been met. This plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.

PS 98-19 Request of Delbert Stembridge for a Preliminary Plat of Blocks 5,6,7 & 8, Woodland
Oaks Addition. (Located in the 6900 Block of Crane Road)
Mr. Stembridg is the surveyor representing Bill Fenimore, owner, in this preliminary plat of Blocks
5,6,7 & 8, Woodland Oaks Addition containing approximately 11.4 acres and 37 lots. The property is
currently zoned R-2 Residential. The property to the north of this location is zoned R-3 Residential, to
the south is R-1 Residential and AG Agricultural, to the east is AG Agricultural and west is AG
Agricultural.
The issues associated with this plat are as follows:
1. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are required adjacent to all public
streets.
2. Street Lighting: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are required in this development
and that the cost of installation will be paid directly to TU Electric and coordinated with the City.
3. Lot Size & Area: Lots 5, 6 & 7 of Block 6 and Lot 12, Block 5, do not meet lot width requirement
of 72.5’. Lots 1,2,3 & 4, Block 8 does not meet the minimum depth requirement of 110’. Lot 6,
Block 8 does not meet the minimum square footage requirement of 9,000 square feet. The
applicant is requesting a waiver to allow the creation of lots that do not meet the width, depth and
square footage requirements of the City as outlined above.
4. Utility Easements: The Subdivision Regulations require 7 ½ ‘ of easement dedication on both
sides of water and sewer mains. The developer has agrees to work with the City on these
easements.
5. Visibility Easements: All intersections require visibility sidewalk and utility easements as defined
in the Public Works Design Manual. The developer has agreed to provide these easements.
6. Right-of-Way Dedication: Amundson Drive is designated as a C-4-U on the Master
Thoroughfare Plan. This designation requires a 68’ ultimate right-of-way. At the time of cover
sheet preparation, the applicant has not provided the necessary documentation to verify ROW
dedication. Consequently, ROW dedication may need to take place. The developer has agreed
to provide the necessary documentation.
7. Street Improvements: The proposed Plat fronts on Crane Road and Amundson Drive. Curb and
gutter will need to be constructed to City standards along the eastern half of Crane Road adjacent
to this property. Furthermore, the southern half of Amundson Drive will also need curb and gutter
construction. The applicant has been advised of this requirement.
8. GPS: The applicant has been advised that GPS is a requirement for this plat.

PZ 98-06 Request of Richard Shaw of Colonial Equities, Inc. for Site Plan Approval of a Multi-
family Development on Tract 2F2, Ackers Survey, Abstract 19 (Located South of
Browning Drive, East of Iron Horse Golf Course, North of NE Loop 820 and West of the
DART Railroad Right-of-Way)
Colonial Equities, Inc. has submitted a site plan to develop a 492 unit multi-family development on the
south side of Browning Drive and immediately adjacent to Iron Horse Golf Course. Zoning for this
parcel was established as a Planned Development by city ordinance on January 27, 1998. According
to the terms of the planned development, the list of permitted uses allowed any use in the I-2 Medium
Industrial District and allowed multi-family uses of the R-7-MF District, provided a site plan was
submitted by January 31, 1998 and a building permit was issued by July 31, 1998. The applicant
submitted a site plan within the prescribed time, but at the February 26, 1998 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting, action on the site plan was tabled to allow the applicant time to rework the site
plan and resubmit with the additional information.
The site plan indicates the project will be built in two phases, which complicates enforcement of
certain regulations, unless the issues can be outlined at the time of site plan approval. The issues
associated with the site plan are as follows:
1. Masonry Screening Wall: A 6’ masonry-screening wall is required along Browning Drive and
along the DART railroad right-of-way. The applicant has shown these on the site plan, but has
not indicated whether these items will be constructed initially or as each phase is developed.
2. Wrought Iron Fence Along Iron Horse Golf Course: Zoning regulations require a 6’
combination masonry and wrought iron fence where this development abuts Iron Horse Golf
Course. However, according to regulations, the wrought iron portion is not to exceed 40% of
the total length of the fence. The developer is proposing a 100% decorative metal fence.
3. Parking: The development requires a minimum of 1161 parking spaces to meet the minimum
requirements in NRH for a multi-family development. The developer is proposing 1075 spaces
which is 86 spaces below the minimum requirements. The number of parking spaces is
determined according to the number of bedrooms in the facility. For example, a one-bedroom
apartment requires 2 parking spaces and a two-bedroom apartment requires 2.5 parking
spaces. The difference between the developer calculation and the NRH staff calculation is
associated with the 148 units, which have one bedroom and a study. If these units are
calculated as having two usable bedrooms, then the developer is deficient by 86 parking
spaces. Below is a table showing the bedroom and parking calculations.

Total 294 694 198 467 492 1161
4. Covered Parking: Regulations require one covered parking space per unit. The applicant
proposes 176 garage spaces, 79 detached garages, and 237 carport spaces, for a total of 492
covered spaces. This complies with the requirement. Based on the information provided, the
covered parking spaces are within the required 200-foot distance.
5. Masonry Exterior Surface – Zoning regulations require multi-family structures to have
exterior surfaces with 65% masonry material for all elevations and all floors. According to the
information provided on their elevation drawings, a large share of the exterior surface is
composed of “cement fiber siding”, stucco, synthetic stone and brick details. In the past, there
has been some questions raised about the use of cement type siding materials.
6. Gated Entry – The development has a controlled access gated entry as required.
7. Landscaped Area – Regulations require 15% of the lot be landscaped. The site contains 31.5
acres. According to the information provided, the landscaped area is equivalent to 11.41 acres
(36.2 %).
8. Recreation Area – Regulations require 10% of the lot be a recreation area. Recreation areas
are shown on two locations and exceed the 10% requirement.
The site plan appears to meet all the criteria specified in the multi-family regulations and the terms of
the planned development ordinance and is now ready for consideration.

John Barfield is the owner and developer of this 115-acre residential development located in the 8300

Glenn East Addition approved.
There are various zoning districts existing on the property that Mr. Barfield is proposing to redevelop
as a residential subdivision. Staff has created several attachments that communicate the proposed
zoning changes more effectively than several paragraphs of narrative could. Please refer to the
following attachments for a graphic depiction of the proposed rezoning.
All property owners within 200’ of this request have been notified. To date, staff has not received any
comments. This rezoning request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the
City of NRH.

PS 97-60 Request of Jim Walker for a Final Plat of Lot 1R, Block 2, Thompson Park Estates
Addition. (Located in the 6300 Block of Precinct Line Road)
Jim Walker is representing Conoco in this platting case which contains approximately 1.2 acres of
land. Mr. Walker also represented Conoco in the rezoning case that was approved by the City
Council on December 22, 1997 as a Special Use Permit for a convenience store. The property
directly to the west is zoned U Institutional and is the location of the new BISD high school, south is
C-1 Commercial and to the north is R-1 Residential. The following are issues associated with this
final plat request:

drainage from the proposed site will be contained within the drainage easement provided by BISD.
2. Easement Dedications: The applicant has been advised that drainage easements, sanitary
sewer and water mains shall be placed in easements. The current plat does not meet these
requirements.
3. Driveway Spacing: The applicant has provided information relative to driveways. The proposed
driveways are in accordance with the site plan as approved by the City Council.
All other engineering comments have been complied with. This plat is in conformance with the

PS 97-65 Request of Brad Thompson for a Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Thompson
Addition. (Located in the 7000 Block of Smithfield Road)
Brad Thompson is the owner and developer of this 1.5 acre tract of land. The property is currently
zoned R-2 Residential. The property to the north is R-2 Residential, south is R-1-S Residential, to the
west is R-2 Residential and to the east is R-3 Residential. The issues associated with this preliminary
plat are as follows:
1. Sewer: Sanitary sewer service is within 300’ of this property. The applicant has been advised that
sewer service shall be extended from the north at Noneman Drive to the south property line of this
lot.
2. Water: The applicant has been advised that a water main is located in Smithfield Road and is
available for service. This will require boring under Smithfield Road.
3. Easements: The applicant has been advised that all storm drain improvements, sewer and
waterlines are required to be placed in an easement.
4. Sidewalks: The applicant has been advised that sidewalks are required adjacent to all public
streets. The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement because there are no sidewalks
on the west side of Smithfield Road.
5. Street Lighting: The applicant has been advised that streetlights are required at this location and
that the cost of installation shall be paid directly to TU Electric and coordinated with the City.
6. Surveyor’s Response Letter: At the time of cover sheet preparation, the P&Z office had not
received response letter from the surveyor. However, because this is a preliminary plat, staff felt
that the Commission should hear this request.
All other engineering comments have been complied with. This plat is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.
