RICHARDSON SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1266, FROM AG TO R-8 (LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF GREEN VALLEY DRIVE WEST OF DAVIS BOULEVARD) Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Dick Perkins, Teague, NaIl & Perkins, representing the owner, appeared before the Council. Mr. Perkins stated that when this item was previously heard it was at that time in conjunction with a proposed R-3 zoning request. Mr. Perkins stated due to the City Council's decision to reject the R-3 zoning request, the request for R-8 zoning was tabled. Mr. Perkins stated it was his understanding in interpreting the ordinance that basically R-8 was in essence a form of planned development zoning and there were restrictions based on the site plan that was submitted as well as the elevation and floor plans. Mr. Perkins stated that at the previous meeting they submitted elevation drawings of the types of the structures that were to be built in the subdivision. Mr. Perkins stated there were 91 R-8 lots, 60 percent would have a minimum of 1300 square feet, 20 percent would have a minimum of 1200 square feet and the remaining 20 percent would have 1400 square feet. Mr. Perkins stated they had exceeded the required lot size of R-8 zoning. Mr. Perkins showed the Council a sketch of one of the typical house plans. Councilwoman Moody asked why they did not consider R-2 zoning. Mr. Perkins stated one reason was because of the existing multi-family to the north and commercial to the east. Mr. Perkins stated also because of the desirability of the need for this type of housing in North Richland Hills. April 29, 1986 Page 3 Mr. Perkins stated the developer believed R-8 was a very marketable product at this time. Councilman Ramsey stated that if R-8 was Planned Development then he was missing something in his information. Councilman Ramey stated his information did not include a site plan or preview of what was planned for the development. Mr. Royston stated that when the case was originally submitted full information was received. Councilman Ramsey asked Mr. Perkins if he was aware of the R-8 zoning within seven or eight miles of this request that went bankrupt because it was not marketable. Mr. Perkins developer. handle the stated he was aware of the situation but was not aware of Mr. Perkins stated that his developer was very strong and situation and he believed R-8 zoning would be a marketable the could product. Councilman Fisher stated Mr. Perkins had showed a sketch of what was a typical house plan type and asked if the plan was to build that type in this subdivision. Mr. Perkins stated they would have to submit elevations and floor plans and this model would fit one of the elevations and one of the floor plans they planned to build. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked if a building permit was to be issued, would it have to fit one of the elevations. Mr. Royston stated he would like to clarify that R-8 zoning was not Planned Development. Mr. Royston stated R-8 zoning was a site plan district where they had to present site plans. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked if this request was approved, could the six site plans be made part of the ordinance. Mr. McEntire stated that it could be made part of the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked if the developer was the builder. Mr. Perkins replied he was not. Councilman Kenna asked if the developer would deed restrict to the six site plans. Mr. McEntire stated the requirement could be written into the ordinance. Councilwoman Hinkle stated the addition referred to by Councilman Ramsey was not quite as marketable of an area as the one being proposed tonight and if the developer built a good product there should not be any problem in marketing. April 29, 1986 Page 4 Councilman Ramsey stated he disagreed. Councilman Ramsey stated that in essence the developer was asking for R-3 zoning. Councilman Ramsey stated he did not feel that R-8 was marketable. Councilwoman Moody stated her concern was the 16.68 acres they were asking to be rezoned R-8 but it was really R-3. Councilman Newman stated he felt sure the developer would probably build nice homes but he felt it should be R-2 zoning. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request, to please come forward. Mr. Jack Frisque, 8025 Green Valley Drive, appeared before the Council. Mr. Frisque stated he was representing the Green Valley Homeowners Association. Mr. Frisque stated they had asked the developer for a meeting to discuss this development but it was never held. Mr. Frisque stated R-8 zoning was not Planned Development zoning. Mr. Frisque stated he would like to ask the Council to see that the northern part of the City was developed with quality in mind. Councilman Fisher stated he appreciated Mr. Frisque's concern but did not see anyone else from the Homeowner's Association present. Mr. Frisque stated that as President of the Association, he was the spokesman. Mr. Frisque stated this was an unusual meeting time and they had already made other commitments. Councilman Ramsey stated it was his understanding that some of the homeowners were present Monday night presuming that was when the meeting would be held and that the homeowners were concerned.

Councilwoman Moody asked Ms. Phillips if she would object to the commercial zoning if the neighbors would be protected. Ms. Phillips stated it would be according to what was built on the property. April 29, 1986 Page 6 Councilwoman Moody stated if the property was zoned commercial with a planned development on it so the neighborhood could be protected would it be agreeable. Ms. Phillips stated she did not understand what planned development was. Councilwoman Moody stated it would require site barring fences, landscaping, etc. Ms. Phillips stated that where the service center was built on Booth Calloway was unsightly.
