HISTORY: There is no previous zoning or platting history on the property.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is a two-lane asphalt road within a variable-
width right-of-way, shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C4D
four-lane divided collector street to be built within a l l0'-wide
right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Pecan Ridge Estates; PD-SF9
South - Willowood//2; SF7
East - Highland Oaks; PD-SF7
West - Vacant; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
medium-density residential use.
Item # 5
DISCUSSION: This property adjoins SF7 on the south, developed at a density of 3.85
dwelling units per acre, and PD-SF7 on the east, developed at 4.62
dwelling units per acre. Across Sandy Lake Road it faces PD-SF9,
developed at a density of 3.64 dwelling units per acre. The proposed
density of Castlebury Court is 3.48 dwelling units per acre. The average
lot size is 9,383 square feet. The smallest lot is 7718 square feet in area.
The 2 lots proposed to face Pecan Ridge are over 10,000 square feet in
area. The lots to adjoin Willowood are over 10,000 square feet in area,
and the lots to adjoin Highland Oaks are at least 20% larger than the lots
in Highland Oaks. Therefore, the proposed lot layout is in keeping with
its immediate surroundings. In fact, the closest existing residential
subdivision with a lower density is the Dobecka Addition, at 2.45 dwelling
units per acre. It, however, is separated from the proposed development
by 3 acres of vacant land owned by TU Electric.
In connection with the Dobecka Addition, staff points out an error on the
PD-Detailed Site Plan. The zoning shown on the Dobecka Addition
should be shown as PD-SF12. Also, the zoning on the TU site is SF12.
The tree survey shows 46 trees over the size of 8" in diameter located on
the property outside the proposed right-of-way of Sandy Lake Road. To
build the proposed cul-de-sac street, 7 of these trees will be removed.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval subject to Engineering comments
and correction of the previously mentioned zoning designations shown on
the PD-Detailed Site Plan.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Departmental Comments
