HISTORY:
City Council approved the original planned development on October
23, 1984. This 30-unit single family planned development was part
of a larger rezoning case which involved 190.9 acres of Light
Industrial property bounded by Sandy Lake Road to the south,
Coppell Road to the west, Denton Creek to the north and
Cottonwood Estates subdivision to the east. The Light Industrial
tract of land was rezoned to:
1. MF-2, Multi-family-2, 83.347 acres
2. MF-1, Multi-family-l, 33.216 acres
3. TH-2, Townhouse-2, 6.886 acres

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
residential low density uses.
DISCUSSION:
After visiting the lot in question, staff is concerned that the
two-story addition not only intrudes into the side yard
setback by 3' but it involves extending the building 16' 8" to
the south measured along the rear wall of the new addition
and 20' 8" along the front fagade. The adjacent homeowner
to the south at 222 Winding Hollow Lane has a number of
windows on the northern fagade of his house that will be
overlooking this new addition. It is important to realize
that the driveway pavement at 222 Winding Hollow is
located 1' from the existing pavement on this lot. Once
built, the separation distance between the proposed addition
and the adjacent house to the south will be 13' compared to
the existing separation distance of 16'. Also, 5' of eXisting
pavement will be removed when the new addition is built,
providing a separation distance of 6' between the new
addition and existing neighbor's pavement. The area will
be grassed and properly maintained.
The applicant is also requesting to widen his current
driveway from 10' to 16' (although plans scale at 12'). The
interior garage space measures 560 square feet and the 2nd
floor family room shown to be 405 square feet.
Without support from the neighbors at 222 Winding
Hollow and 223 Winding Hollow Lane staff was having a
hard time supporting this request. Attached are copies of
letters from the neighbor to the south (222 Winding
Hollow) and the neighbor across the street (223 Winding
Hollow) both supporting the request. From staff
Item # 9
perspective, the size and scale of the addition was
somewhat bothersome. The lot in question has a width of
80' and the depth of over 430'. A large portion of the rear
two-thirds of the property is in either the floodplain or
floodway. Therefore, unbuildable without a floodstudy.
The process is both extremely lengthy and costly. Without
expansion possibilities to the rear of the house, the only
side expansion was to the south because the existing house
setbacks only 8.1' from the northern lot line and the
required setback for this PD is 8'.
The submitted color board shows the proposed brick on the
new addition will be "Old Chicago", the siding is indicated
to be "Sahara Sand" and the roofing material is a "Thunder
Storm Grey" composite shingle. Staff requests that the
applicant furnish calculations that the proposed exterior
fagade complies with the 80% masonry requirement.
The applicant and the neighbors are of the opinion that the
addition will give balance to the existing house and
improve its curb appeal. Today, the very front fagade of the
home measures 17.5' in width, with a second front fagade
recessed back another 17'3" back and measures 25.7' in
width. The applicant is adding 20' 8" to the second front
faqade for a total of 46.36'. Therefore, the home's curb
appeal will be dramatically changed. Planning staff urges
Commission members to drive by the lot in question to gain
better perspective of this request.
During the Development Review Committee process the
applicant was asked to furnish staff with a copy of the
declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions. Staff
has yet to receive a copy of the document.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Although planning staff has some concem with the size and scale of the
addition, given the fact that the applicant was able to secure written support
from the two neighbors that will be directly affected by this request we could
support this application subject to the following conditions being met:
1)
2)
Furnish a revised copy of survey exhibit showing correct width of the
proposed driveway.
At least 80% of the exterior walls of the first floor of all structures shall
be masonry construction exclusive of doors, windows, and the area
above the top plate line. Each story above the first floor of a straight
wall shall be at least 80% masonry exclusive of doors, windows and the
area above the top plate line.
Item# 9
3) Verify that the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions for
Village at Cottonwood Creek Section 1 will permit this addition.
Also, provide staff a copy of the document.
4) Approve the submitted color board showing all exterior building
materials.
5) Disconnecting means for electrical must.be moved to new garage.
(See Building Inspections comments)
6) All utility easements should remain free and dear of any obstructions.
(See TXU comments)
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
