JB EDENS SURVEY, ABSTRACT 499.
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing for items C.2, ZC 2018-23 and C.3, SUP
2019-09. Mayor Trevino informed City Council that staff would introduce items C.2 and
C.3 and companions items D.2, PP 2018-05 and D.3, FP 2019-05.
Mr. Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting a zoning change (item
C.2) for 9.982 acres located at 7109-7201 Eden Road and 8751 Hightower Drive. The
area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as low density and the current
zoning is agricultural and special single family. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the
property. The applicant is also requesting a special use permit for detention/retention
storage facilities associated with the zoning change. The preliminary and final plats
illustrate a 21 single family lot development.
Applicant representative Curtis Young with Sage Group located at 1130 North Carroll
Avenue, Southlake, Texas presented request. The request for R-2 is consistent with
prominent zoning in the area. Mr. Young commented that the request to extend
Hightower complies with the city's thoroughfare plan. Mr. Curtis commented that there is
an existing home on Lot 13, and the existing property owner will remain on the property.
At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the commissioners discussed drainage
and traffic for the development. The eastern 1/3 of the property drains to the east and
the western 2/3 of the property drains to the south. There was discussion whether Pond
A located at Lot 1X should be wet or dry. There was concern with the pond being wet
and creating a possible burden to the homeowner association. Mr. Curtis informed City
Council they are amendable and can change Pond A to a dry pond if requested by City
Council. He worked with the neighbor located directly to the south of the development to
address drainage. Mr. Durant was not in favor of the open lot for Pond B (Lot 5X) as
September 23, 2019
City Council Meeting Minutes
Page 6 of 17
proposed on the final plat. Mr. Durant has agreed to provide an easement, which will
allow access to an underground facility located to the south of his property. With this
agreement, the detention pond located at Lot 5X will be eliminated and the drainage will
be moved to Feather Crest Lane stub out where it will be discharged through the
easement to the existing underground facility.
Mr. Comstock reviewed the zoning exhibit and identified the existing residential structure
that would remain on the property and structures to be demolished. The special use
permit requests two detention/retention storage facilities. Staff recommends the special
use permit be approved as is, and staff will work with the applicant. It will be staffs
recommendation to have a dry detention pond located at Lot 1X.
Director of Public Works Caroline Waggoner provided an overview of the drainage for
the property and adjacent neighborhoods.
Council and staff discussed drainage for the area, to include Marti Lane.
Council member Welch clarified that Lot 9X is designated as an open space to disperse
water overflow. The final plat and preliminary plat have conflicting information. Mr.
Comstock confirmed the plats do not match. There was a change in surveyor and
engineer for the project. The difference between the two plats is the location of the open
space.
Mr. Comstock commented the applicant has the opportunity to change the lot identified
for detention to a residential lot. If that is proposed, an additional plat will come back for
City Council approval to arrange lot lines. Mr. Comstock reviewed the history of
Hightower to include the most recent approval to the transportation plan to change
Hightower from a C4U to C2U. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their
September 5, 2019 meeting, voted 6-1 to approve ZC 2018-23 and SUP 2019-09, with
Commissioner Werner voting against. The city received written opposition from 47.5%
of the land area within 200 feet of the subject property. A three-fourths vote of City
Council is required to approve the zoning change and special use permit.
Council and staff discussed drainage, traffic, open space and moving drainage from Lot
5X to Feather Crest Lane stub out to discharge to drainage facility located south of the
development, contingent on approved easement with Mr. Durant.
Council member Benton commented if the open space located at Lot 5X is going away
he requested that the applicant consider placing more picnic benches to make the dry
pond (Lot 1X) area more useable.
Council member Welch clarified that Lot 1X could potentially be a residential lot in the
September 23, 2019
City Council Meeting Minutes
Page 7 of 17
future. When public improvements to Eden Road are completed to allow additional
drainage capacity that lot could become a residential lot. Mr. Comstock confirmed the lot
could be changed following a replat to create setbacks and abandon the drainage
easement on the lot.
Mayor Trevino asked staff to address the connection of Hightower and the concern that it
will become an alternative to Rumfield Road for cut through traffic.
Mr. Comstock reviewed the history and discussion regarding extension of Hightower
Drive. In 2019, the city's transportation consultant, Freese and Nichols, looked at
Hightower and determined it should connect. The connection is necessary because of
Rumfield Road. The connection would alleviate Rumfield Road traffic for those that live in
close proximity to Eden. The connection will also help with the morning peak traffic.
Ms. Waggoner informed City Council the value of the connection is as a local collector
street for residents located west of Eden.
Mayor Trevino asked the City Secretary to call on those who completed a public meeting
appearance form to speak during the public hearing.
Mr. John Durant, 7101 Eden Road; commented that he was concerned with Lot 5X as
proposed by the applicant. He is concerned with the water flowing onto his property.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Durant to confirm that he is in agreement with the proposed
change to move the drainage to the stub out off Feather Crest Lane, which will travel
underground to the drainage facility located to the south. Mr. Durant confirmed that he is
in agreement with the proposed change.
Mayor Trevino asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against
items C.2 or C.3 to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino
closed the public hearing.
Council member Welch clarified that Feather Crest Lane stubs out to the south and into a
drainage utility easement. He asked staff if it is the intent in the future to have Feather
Crest Lane continue to the south. If so, should the city consider addressing future
• right-of-way access?
Mr. Comstock informed City Council they can include in their motion to provide
right-of-way reservation for the open space lot labeled 9X, which is located south of the
development.
