C. HEARING DATE: April 14, 1992 LOCATION: The southwest corner of Bethel School Road and Harris Street. SIZE OF AREA: 13.95 Acres REQUEST: Approval of a preliminary plat. APPLICANT: Mr. Horace Ardin§er Nathan Maier Engineers (Owner) (Engineer) 9040 Governor's Row 8800 N. Central Expressway Dallas, TX 75247-0234 Suite #300 Dallas, TX 75231 HISTORY: Country Estates was approved as a preliminary plat by the City Council in 1989, as well as a zoning change from (C) Commercial to (SF-12) Sin§le-Family-12. The plat was approved with the condition that the roadway concerns for Bethel School Road be resolved prior to final plat application. Technically, the preliminary plat submitted in 1989 has expired, therefore, the applicant is resubmitting this preliminary plat with minor amendments, such as: 1) Add Lots 1-3, Block A to the variance request for front entry Garages, in an effort to save large caliper trees in the rear yard. 2) The depths of Lots 15 and 16 (Block B) have been reduced in order to provide a street transition at the intersection of Bethel School Road and Harris Street. TRANSPORTATION: Shorewood Drive intersects with both Bethel School Road and Harris Road. ITEM 10 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - single-family use: PD-SF-9 zoning South - vacant; commercial zoning East - vacant; commercial zoning West - PD-SF-7 and PD-SF-9 ANALYSIS: Although a preliminary plat was approved by the Plannin§ and Zoning Commission and the City Council in 1989, technically, since a final plat was not submitted within the allowable time frame (9 months) a resubmittal was required. The plat as submitted, conforms to City codes and ordinances, however, staff is concerned with the angle of the intersection at Bethel School Road and Harris Street, and recommends that "No Parking" signs be placed along Harris Street, from Brooks Street north to Bethel School Road. The applicant's engineer has submitted a request to leave the area between lots 3 and 4 of Block A, in its natural condition. The Engineering Department recommends that the stream be placed in a storm sewer line along the entire length of the property. In summary, staff has no objections to the approval of the preliminary plat, but strongly objects to leaving the stream in its natural condition, between Lots 3 and 4, Block A. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat along with deviations, as submitted 2) Approve the preliminary plat with amendments 3) Deny the preliminary plat ATTACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat CNTRYEST.STF CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.

Country Estates is cro~ved by a stream denoted as 'Stream 2A' in the City-Wide Storm Water Management Stud,/. This stream is lined by mature hardwood trees along its entire length. Although it is impractic~ to leave the entire stream in its natural condition, we propose to leave that reach east of Sborewood Drive natural This would allow us to preserve a good deal of this streams esthetic beauty. The staff has recommended that the stream be placed in a storm sewer line the entire length of the property. ~ would require the removal of the trees and the filling of the stream. We respectfully request an appeal of this issue before the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, NATHAN D.
