Tap Roads, at the request of Karl K. Mistry, Toll Brothers.
Presentation:
Planning Director, Gary Sieb introduced this case to the Commission showing exhibits and
elevations. Staff recommends approval but feels a more specific guideline needs to be
attached to the request. Specifically, individual lots need to be called out for approval of
the stucco product. Because staff and the applicant are not that far off with regard to the
specific lot locations, either lot pattern could be supported, and should be a condition of
approval. He mentioned 44 notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of this
request, none responded in favor and one responded in opposition, which stated the
stucco would be inappropriate and that the 56 lots should have continuity with the rest of
the City's building material.
Karl Mistry, Toll Dallas TX., LLC, 2557 SW Grapevine Pkwy., Ste. 100, Grapevine Texas, was
present to represent this case before the Commission to answer any questions and was in
