HEARING DATE: April 13, 1999 LOCATION: Along the west side of Moore Road, approximately 680 feet south of Sandy Lake Road. SIZE OF AREA: Approximately 1.5 acres of property. CURRENT ZONING: PD-SF-7 (Planned Development, Single-Family7) REQUEST: Amend the development conditions from 3 lots to 2. APPLICANT: Developer: Dewayne Randle 4012 Hackmore Loop Irving TX 75061 972-438-9200 Fax 972-579-0734 HISTORY: The property was platted as Lot 1 of Harrison Estates No. II in 1977. The zoning on the property has been SF-12 for over 14 years. In February, City Council approved a three-lot subdivision on the subject property. Since that time, the owner has elected to re-plat this parcel into two lots. TRANSPORTATION: Moore Road is a C2U two-lane undivided collector constructed to standard within a 60'-wide right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- Stringfellow Addition; SF-12 South - Single-family residential; SF-12 East - Northlake Woodlands East Phase 2; PD-SF-7 West - Harrison Addition No. I; SF-12 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for low density residential uses. Item # 8 DISCUSSION: As indicated under the History Section, this proposal requests replatting the three lots granted by Council last month into two lots today. The explanation given by the applicant was that there is a buyer ready to purchase one-half of this property if it can be redeveloped into the two lots. We supported the three-lot subdivision, and there is no reason why we can not support a replat into two lots. One troubling aspect of this submittal is the fact that the site plan shows a 16-foot access easement running the entire 508-foot length of this property. We do not know why the easement is required, and to date, the applicant has not given us a clear-cut reason for its inclusion on the replat. There are other conditions for approval, which need to be clearly stated on the face of the PD application. Those conditions are spelled out below. With inclusion of these conditions, this application warrants positive consideration. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The planning staff recommends approval of the PD, subject to the following conditions being placed on the face of the PD plan: 1. All drives shall be privately owned/maintained 2. Optional security gates shall be accessible to all property owners 3. Private drives shall be accessible by all property owners 4. All private drives acting as fire lanes shall be constructed of 6 inch concrete with//3 rebar on 24-inch centers on 6 inch sand base 5. No buildings or structures shall be constructed on lots 1R and 2R until plans for same shall have been submitted to and approved by Dewayne Randle, Architect. The architect shall review plans within 7 days of receipt. If plans have not been reviewed within 7 days, plans shall be considered approved and accepted. 6. Opticom gates with knox box over ride will be required if security gates are constructed. In addition, as mentioned above, the applicant needs to explain the purpose of the 16-foot easement, acknowledge the $1285 park fee/lot.
