PECAN HOLLOW ADDITION, PRELIMINARY PLAT
LOCATION:
Approximately 550 feet south of the intersection of

SIZE OF AREA: 59.4 acres
REQUEST:
Approval of a preliminary plat
APPLICANT:
Gateway U.S.A.
Mr. Pon Fraze
10751Mapleridge Drive
Dallas, Texas
HISTORY:
A planned development, Case #PD-110, was approved for
subject tract on January 9, 1990.
TRANSPORTATION:
Lodge Road is presently a two-lane substandard roadway,
which is in need of improvement. Construction of Lodge
Road along the frontage of this property will be the
responsibility of the developer, and will be required prior
to the development of any structure.
ANALYSIS:
This developer has been working very closely with staff in
preparing the plat, insuring that all drainage concerns are
met, addressing the improvements to Lodge Road, developing
his homeowners association, and providing us with the tree
survey showing where all 14 inch caliper and larger trees
are located on the parcel. The developer's objective is to
preserve as many specimen trees - he's surveyed over 270 -
as possible as construction commences on the land. Based
on the willingness of this applicant to meet all the
obligations imposed by Commission and Council, this request
warrants approval provided that a homeowners association is
established to maintain common areas, a letter of
permission to drain across adjacent properties is
procurred, and a note is placed on the plat that front
entry houses will be built on the properties where no
alleys are provided.

Planning Director Gary L. Sieb introduced the item to the
Commission. Mr. Sieb stated that this item has had a great deal
of discussion, and back on January 25, 1990, the Commission
denied the plat and recommended that staff expedite the review
of a revised plat, which was introduced at the Commissions'
January hearing. Staff has obliged, and the revised plat
includes an almost three acre park, the elimination of eight
lots, and the density has fallen from 148 to 140 units. Mr.
Sieb stated that staff is concerned with the size of the park,
the landscaping and the screening wall did not have the
homeowners association attached to it, and also the fact that
there is a suggestion that two pedestrian foot bridges be
extended across the ends of the cul-de-sacs into the park land
due to an existing ditch.

asked for those persons who wish to speak against the proposed
change. There were none. He then asked for those persons who wish
to speak in favor of the proposed change. Again, there were none
The public hearing was declared closed. Included in discussion by
the Council was the possibility of extending the City's use of the
amphitheater. The present agreement calls for the city to be able
to use the amphitheater 25 percent of the time for a 20 year time
period. Mr. Hurt stated that as long as they are firm on the area
of amphitheater, the current agreement could be extended. Other
questions by the Council concerned the downstream drainage and
flooding problems. Planning Director Gary Sieb indicated that
these items would be addressed during the plating process rather
than at the present time. Following further discussion by Council,
Councilman Robertson moved that the requested zoning on Case ZC-
526 be approved as submitted. Councilman Morton seconded the
motion; motion carried 7-0 with Mayor Pro Tem Wilkerson, Councilmen
Thomas, Morton, Smothermon, Cowman, Robertson and Nelson voting in

February 15, 1990 with a unanimous recommendation for approval from
the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Mike Irvin of Southlans
Corporation and Mr. A1 Rogers of Mobil Oil Corporation were also
present to discuss this item with the Council. Mr Irvin stated
that the architecture of this development would have the Old World
theme. During discussion by the Council Mr. sieb indicated that
the~ berms from the original plan are still included in the revised

of the zoning request. Mr. Rogers stated that the canopy to be
constructed at the gas islands would be the same construction as
that at the MacArthur and Beltline Road intersection building.

persons who wish to speak against the proposed zoning change.
There were none. He then asked for those persons who wish to speak
