the preliminary plat and it was approved by City Council on April 4,
1997. On August 11, 1998, Council granted a nine-month extension to
allow for final plat submission within 18 months after City Council
approval of the preliminary plat (4/8/97)

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

DISCUSSION:
With the granting of the alley variance, the proposed subdivision,
plan now conforms to the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Staff's concern pertains to the Lone Star Gas Easement located
along the southern property line of this subdivision. The 30'-wide
strip will be dedicated to the adjacent homeowners of Whispering
Hill Addition by a separate replat. The applicant has indicated to
staff that the replat will be submitted for review during the next
developmental review cycle.
The plat notes that fencing, landscaping, pool decks and portable
accessible building with concrete foundation will be allowed on the
property that lies within the Lone Star Gas easement. No
permanent structures will be allowed in the easement.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval of the replat subject to the following
conditions being met:
1) Submit for staff review the Replat of the Whispering Hills Addition for the
next development review cycle.

executed monetary contracts a disclosure letter must be given to home buyers
indicating that due to the proximity of DFW and Love Field Airports, there
may be occurrences of ambient aircraft noise due to aircraft overflights".
3) Correct adjacent zoning of Whispering Hills subdivision to SF-12.
