P & Z HEARING DATE:
C.C. HEARING DATE:
October 20, 2005
November 8, 2005
STAFF REP.:
Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
LOCATION:
Along the south side of Glen Lakes Drive (623 to 663 Glen Lakes
Drive)
SIZE OF AREA:
11 single-family lots.
CURRENT ZONING:
PD- 103 (Planned Development-103), Lake Park Addition
REQUEST:
City-initiated Public Hearing to consider an increase in the
maximum building height fi.om one- to two-and-a-half-stories (35
feet) on Lots 1-I 1, Block A (623 to 663 Glen Lakes Drive).
HISTORY:
PD 103 was established in 1987 for single family homes. Due to
opposition from the residents on Phillips, a one-story height
restriction was placed on these 11 lots by City Council. The Final
Plat for the Lake Park Addition was originally approved in 1991. In
1994, City Council approved a replat of Lots 10-14, 17, 19-22 and
24-25 to incorporate additional land adjacent to the flood plain. In
2000, Lot 15 (579 Lake Park Drive) was also replatted to incorporate
the adjacent flood plain land.
TRANSPORTATION:
Glen Lakes Drive is a residential street built within 50-feet of right-
of-way.

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North single family; PD-103 - Lake Park Addition
South - single family; PD-141 - Parkwood Section 2
East - single family; SF-I 2 - Prestwick Addition
West - City park/lake; TC - Moore Road Park
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for medium density single family.
DISCUSSION:
This request was brought forward through a petition from six out of the 11
homes along the south side of Glen Lakes Drive, requesting to have the
option to add a second story to their homes. This one-story restriction
was placed on these eleven lots by City Council during the public hearing
process on the rezoning and platting in the late 80's. At that time there was
significant concem from the existing homeowners on Phillips about the
quality and density of homes, and the potential loss of backyard privacy.
Now that these homes are built, some of the homeowners along Glen
Lakes Drive desire relief from this restriction. Staff can only support this
request iff
· there is support from the homeowners on Phillips; and
· Second story additions shall be designed in such a manner that there is
no visibility (from windows/balconies) into the homes/yards of the
homes abutting Phillips Drive.
It is also noted that this one sto~y limitation is not imposed on any other
lots either within the Lake Park Addition or any of the Parkwood Section 2
addition (Phillips Drive). While Lake Park is developed with a mixture of
one-and two-story homes, the homes along Phillips are all constructed as
one-story. Over the years, however, several of the owners in this general
area have constructed two story additions over their garages.
It is staff's understanding that the initiator of this petition, Mrs. Head made
contact with the homeowners on the north side of Phillips to explain the
intent and to assess their views on the proposed rezoning. She has stated
that there was general support for her request from those property owners,
but we have not been able to verify that statement. We do note that notice
of this public hearing was sent to 60 property owners within 200 feet of
the subject properties, which included those abutting the subject lots along
Phillips Drive. As of October 14th one response has been received from a
property owner on Phillips in opposition. Finally, a sign was placed at the

intersection of Glen Lakes and DeForest so notice of this request should be
common knowledge within the neighborhood.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment to PD-103 to revise the
Height Regulations to delete the following reference: "All of the building
constructed on the lots adjacent to the Parkwood addition shall be one
story in height", thus allowing an increase in the maximum building height
from one- to two-and-a-half-stories (35 feet) on Lots 1-11, Block A (623
to 663 Glen Lakes Drive), subject to the following conditions:
1) There is support from the homeOwners on Phillips Drive.
2)
Second-story additions shall be designed in such a manner
that there is no visibility (from windows/balconies) into
the homes/yards of the homes abutting Phillips Drive.
