Family Zero Lot Line Homes; located at the northwest corner of
DeForest Road and MacArthur Boulevard; north of Parkwood,
Section II.
Mr. Mike Allen and Mr. John Kidd of Univest were present to
make the presentation to the Commission. Mr. Allen stated
that this would be a Planned Development; therefore, the City
would actually have more control over what goes into the
development than if it were left at the present straight
zoning. He said one of the concerns of the surrounding
citizens was that there were two (2) story houses proposed.
He has spoken with the builder and they have now eliminated
those for the plans. Mr. Allen pointed out that these types
of restrictions can be written into the PD ordinance. They
are also proposing to donate the lake located to the northwest
behind Parkway to the City. This lake would then become a
part of the City's park system. Mr. Allen then showed slides
that demonstrated the type of houses they are proposing to
build if this PD application is approved.
Chairman Smedul opened the Public Hearing and asked for
persons wishing to speak in favor of this proposal. There
were none. He then asked for persons wishing to speak in

Mr. John Nelson presented a petition to the Commission, which
is attached as a permanent part of these minutes.
The Public Hearing was then closed.
Commissioner Eberhardt questioned Mr. Allen about alleys and
general house sizes. Commissioner Pope stated that he was
against having private streets which would have to be
maintained by a Homeowners Association. He stated that he
would rather see them request some type of variance rather
than include private streets. Commissioner Tunnell asked if
any agreement had been reached regarding the MacArthur
Boulevard right-of-way. Mr. Allen stated that an agreement
had not yet been reached. The Commissioners also stated that
they did not feel comfortable with approving the donation of
the lake to the City without first knowing if the City
actually wants the lake. It was suggested that Mr. Allen
might need to discuss this with the Director of Public Works
as well as the City's Park Board. Mr. Allen stated that he
was scheduled to meet with the Park Board sometime soon to
discuss this matter. There were also questions brought up
concerning who would be responsible for the jogging trail and
the grass areas around this lake. Mr. Allen then stated that
their proposal is to donate this area to the City, and it
would become the City's responsibility to develop it. The
Commissioners basically agreed that they were not really sure
if this proposal would be the highest and best use for this
particular land. Commissioner Weaver was concerned with how
this plan would affect any future plans the City might have
for the extension of Moore Road, as discussed in the recently
passed Master Plan. It was also brought up that all DRC
issues need to be addressed and taken care of. Commissioner
Jasiecki stated that he was concerned that if this plan were
approved as submitted, there might be the future possibility
of this becoming a rental area with very few actual homeowners
living there. Commissioner Eberhardt stated that there was
just too great a number of citizens who are opposed to this
plan, and as a member of this governing body, he felt it is
the Planning and Zoning Commissioners responsibility to
consider the feelings and opinions of these citizens.
Following discussion Commissioner Jasiecki made a motion to
deny application #PD -103. Commissioner Tunnell seconded the
motion; motion carried (6-0) with Chairman Smedul and
Commissioners Eberhardt, Jasiecki, Pope, Tunnell and Weaver
voting in favor of the motion.
Item 12: Zoning Application #PD -104 - PUBLIC HEARING
To consider approval of a zoning change request for Thompson
Properties, from (R) Retail, (LI) Light Industrial and (A)
Agricultural; to (PD -SF) Planned Development for
Single -Family -12 and Single -Family -9 homes; located on the
east side of Denton Tap Road, north of the St. Louis and
Southwestern Railroad.
Mr. Mark Huey of Thompson Properties was present representing
the owner of the property. He then introduced Nathan Maier of
Nathan Maier Engineers, who made the presentation to the
Commission. Mr. Maier stated that they are asking for this
zoning change in order to develop a Planned Development
including Single Family -12 and Single Family -9 homes.
Chairman Smedul opened the Public Hearing and asked for
persons wishing to speak in favor of this proposal. There
were none. He then asked for persons wishing to speak against
the proposal. Again there were none.
Consulting Engineer Gabe Favre stated that the two (2) draw
areas should show the drainage easements. He further stated
that the deed restrictions should state that no one can build
on those drainage easements.
Following discussion Commissioner Eberhardt made a motion to
approve application #PD -104 with the stipulation that the
comments offered by Mr. Favre be incorporated. Commissioner
Jasiecki seconded the motion; motion carried (6-0) with
Chairman Smedul and Commissioners Eberhardt, Jasiecki, Pope,
Tunnell and Weaver voting in favor of the motion.
Item 13: Plat Application - Westfork Addition - PRELIMINARY PLAT
To consider approval of a preliminary plat, at the request of
Leslie Doggett; located 704 feet east of the northeast corner
of Bethel School Road and Moore Road.
Mr. Pete Hennessey stated that he is the Engineer for this
project, representing the owner. Mr. Hennessey stated that
they want to develop this land similar to the surrounding
properties which is zoned SF -12. They are asking for no
alleys in order to keep within the same theme as the present
Northlake Woodlands subdivision. He then introduced Mrs.
Leslie Doggett, who is the owner of the property. Mrs.
Doggett stated that she felt this plan would be in the best
interest of the surrounding neighborhood.
Following discussion Commissioner Eberhardt made a motion to
approve Item #13. Commissioner Jasiecki seconded the motion;
motion carried (6-0) with Chairman Smedul and Commissioners
Eberhardt, Jasiecki, Pope, Tunnell and Weaver voting in favor
of the motion.
The meeting was then adjourned.
