(LOCATED SOUTH OF BROWNING DRIVE, EAST OF IRON HORSE GOLF COURSE, NORTH OF LOOP 820 AND WEST OF THE DART RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY) TABLED Mr. LeBaron stated that the applicant has submitted a site plan for a multi-family development on this property. A time frame was placed on the applicant for site plan approval during the zoning phase of this development last year. Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Richard Shaw, Colonial Savings, presented this request. He stated this would be a high-end, multi-family development along Iron Horse Golf Course. Mr. Shaw showed pictures of several different elevations, stating that the units will resemble a single family home. The colors of the units will vary to add diversity. Several of the buildings will contain 10 units, but the majority will have eight. A business center, exercise facility and theatre are some of the onsite amenities included. Some units will have garages; others will have detached carports. Amenities included in the apartments are built in bookshelves, entertainment centers and wine racks. Responding to a question, Mr. Shaw stated that at the time this site plan was submitted, the application for site plan approval was not in affect. Mr. Shaw stated that he did not own the property at the time the zoning change took place, so he was unaware of some of the requirements the City of NRH had regarding site plan submittals. Discussion ensued regarding the number of units in Phase I, the placement of the proposed phase line, too much density and the lack of open space. Page 4 Mr. Wood moved to table PZ 98-06 for up to 60 days, allowing the applicant time to rework the site plan and submit the required application.

Driveway spacing is the only concern staff has regarding this proposal. Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Glen Good presented his request, explaining that the driveway on the west could probably be relocated to align more with Crestwood, but he would need to speak with his architects for a final design approval. Mr. Good explained that this type facility generates very little traffic. Chairman Barfield called for any proponents. Seeing none, he called for any opponents. Seeing none, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Davis made the motion to approve PZ 98-09 subject to the applicant and city staff the possibility of moving the western entrance to align with the street to the south.
