HISTORY: The former owner of this property (now deceased) lived in a
mobile home here for many years. Approximately eight
years ago, the zoning was changed from "C" Commercial to
"0" Office although no development activity reflecting office
use occurred. In May 2009, Council approved a rezoning
from "O" Office to PD- 241 -SF &C "Planned Development -
241- Single Family & Commercial" and a preliminary plat for
this development.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is an improved P6D, six -lane divided
concrete roadway built within a proposed 110 -foot right -of-
way. Bethel School Road is a C2U, concrete two lane road
built within a proposed 60 -foot right -of -way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan, as amended, shows this
property as appropriate for mixed use development, which
includes residential and commercial buildings.
DISCUSSION: This is the final plat of the Red Hawk subdivision located on
the northwest corner of Bethel School and Denton Tap
Roads. The preliminary plat containing 54 single - family
residential and two commercial lots, was approved by the
City Council in May 2009, in conjunction with the Planned
Development rezoning request. The two commercial lots will
require replatting prior to development.
This plat conforms with both the preliminary plat and the
conditions outlined in the PD. One administrative change to

the Planned Development is the Homeowners Association is
assuming maintenance responsibility of the proposed
landscaping and wall abutting residential lots (Lots 1 and 2,
Block A), whereas previously, it was the responsibility of
each property owner. Note #3 on the top left of the plat shall
be revised to reflect not only the HOA's responsibility for
landscaping maintenance, but also wall maintenance. The
commercial lot owners will be responsible for the
maintenance of the abutting walls and landscaping on their
respective lots and the common areas and any
improvements within will remain the HOA's responsibility.
A condition of the approval of the previous request was to
provide a "Ten -foot No Tree Disturb Area" along the north
property line, which has been depicted and noted on the
plat. Also, in lieu of the payment of tree mitigation fees: one
tree will be planted in the front yard of each lot; 304 total
caliper inches of trees will be planted in the common areas
and within the entry features; and 67 total caliper inches of
trees will be planted in the rear yards of lots 4 -6, 9 -11 and
17. The maintenance of the cemetery is noted to be the
Historic Bullock Cemetery Association or the Homeowner's
Association. The maintenance will need to be finalized prior
to the recording of the HOA documents and is listed as a
condition of approval. As noted on the plat, no parking will
be allowed on the south side of Oxford Place adjacent to
Lots 27 & 28, and Common Area 1X, Block A. There are
numerous other PD conditions listed on the right side of the
plat, all of which were previously approved with the zoning.
