FOR A PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION EAST OF RUFE SNOW DRIVE, SOUTH OF HIGHTOWER DRIVE AND NORTH OF CHAPMAN DRIVE. Ken Mitchell of Paramount Land Development presented to the Commission a possible 294-lot subdivision with an average lot size of 7,300 square feet. The property is located between Hightower Drive south to Chapman Drive and east of Rufe Snow Drive. Mr. Mitchell explained how the drainage would be handled with a drainage channel, maintained by a homeowners association, across the center portion of the property with areas constructed so that the water would form attractive lakes. While presenting the subdivision to the City Development Review Committee, the Parks Department requested a portion of land be available for a park along the channel. It has also been proposed that a bike, hike and walk-trail would be included along the channel. There will be two entrances with the north entrance off Hightower Drive and the south entrance Page 1 08/27/01 P & Z Minutes being from Chapman Drive. Since he is not a Tarrant County Developer, Mr. Mitchell is asking the Commission for insight as to what would be recommended or required of a subdivision this size. After some discuss of what the zoning ordinance requires, the Commission has asked that Mr. Mitchell present a formal application request to City staff. CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE REVISION PACKAGE INCLUDING WOMEN'S SHELTER, OUTSIDE STORAGE....ETC. Cathy Horton, Zoning Administrator, continued discussion of proposed Ordinance revisions (material attached). Among the topics discussed: table of permitted uses, temporary uses and buildings, outdoor storage regulations, screening of mechanical equipment, fencing for swimming pools, sidewalks, front yard fencing and definitions. The discussion covered many different areas and was intended to give the Commission members some topics of interest to think about for future voting. The discussion ended with input from the Commission of how they would like the changes to take effect. CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF REQUIRED BUILDING MATERIALS AND ARTICULATION STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. Dave Green, Planner, continued discussion of building articulations (material attached). Mr. Green distributed a handout booklet to give the Commission an idea of some Architectural Standards. With a copy of the site plan presented by Staples, Mr. Green gave the Commission a visual idea of some of the things that he would like to see considered in the future. The discussion ended with the Commission being asked to read over the material to become familiar with these standards for further discussion at the next Planning and Zoning pre-meeting on September 13, 2001.
