The original plat for Shadydale Acres was established in the
1960's. Homes on the east side of Shadydale Lane were
constructed on "half lots" which have 72.5 feet of frontage. In
1993, a replat of Tract 6, Block B, was approved for two lots. The
subject property, Tract 6A contains 30,267-square feet, and Tract
6B contains 16,000-square feet.
In 1998, PD-172 was established to the north of this property,
which allowed for the platting and development of 13 lots ranging
in size from 12,320- to 14,720-square feet. These lots were platted
generally in accordance with the SF-12 regulations, with an
average lot width of 85 feet. Additional conditions included in the
PD increased the minimum dwelling size, defined the minimum
roof pitches, increased landscaping, regulated garage placements,
Page 1 of 3 Item # 9
and granted waivers of the alley, right-of-way and sidewalk
requirements.
In August of 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended denial of a request to replat the subject tract of land.
At that time, the applicant desired to retain the existing home on
this site which required that the common lot line be an irregular
configuration to meet the zoning requirements.
TRANSPORTATION:
Both Shadydale Lane and Shadyoak Lane are substandard, 2-lane
asphalt streets, without curb and gutter, built within a 60-foot right
of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single family; PD172- SF-12
South - single family; SF-12
East - single family; SF-12
West - single family; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
low density residential, which is defined as 1-3 dwelling
units per acre.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to subdivide an existing 0.695 (30,267 sq.
ft.) residential tract into two lots. As discussed in the
HISTORY section, the existing lot was replatted in 1993,
and a home was constructed on the northern portion of the
lot. The southern portion is heavily landscaped and contains
14 mature oak trees. The owner wishes to remove the
existing home and subdivide this lot to allow for the
construction of two new homes.
This property is zoned SF-12, which requires a minimum
lot size of 12,000-square feet. The northern lot will contain
13,601-square feet and the southern lot will be 16,666-
square feet, both exceeding the minimum required by
zoning. The SF-12 regulations also require a minimum
front yard of 30 feet, which is indicated on the plat. Per
existing zoning, the required side yard, when adjacent to a
street, is 15 feet. However, to be more compatible with the
30-foot side yard established on the lot adjacent to the west,
staff initially recommended a 25-foot side yard adjacent to
Shady Oak Lane. However, the applicant has submitted a
conceptual site plan for the home proposed for this lot. As
indicated on the site plan, a motor court is planned allowing
for two, inward-facing garages, so as not to allow the
Page 2 of 3 Item # 9
garage doors to front on the street. To accomplish this, a
20-foot setback is proposed.
The minimum lot width required in the SF-12 zoning
district is 85 feet. The northern lot meets this requirement
while the southern lot exceeds this requirement by
approximately 20 feet. Different from the previous
proposal on this lot, the proposed lot line is a standard lot
line, which is perpendicular to the front building line along
the street frontage.
As mentioned, Tract 6A2 contains 14 mature oak trees,
ranging is size from 15-to 26-caliper inches. As indicated
on the conceptual site plan, it appears that all but three trees
will be preserved. However, until such time that the
building design is finalized for this tract, a Detailed Tree
Preservation and Retribution Plan cannot be prepared.
Therefore, a condition of this replat will be that the Tree
Retribution Plan will be required prior to the issuance of a
building permit for these lots.
Finally, given the development patterns established in this
area, approval of the requested waiver of the alley
requirement would be appropriate.
In sum, this plat meets technical requirements of the Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinances and, therefore, warrants a
positive recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Replat, Tracts 6A 1 & 6A2,
Block B, of Shadydale Acres, subject to the following conditions:
1. Tree Preservation and Retribution Plans shall be approved prior to
issuance of building permits for these lots.
2. City Council approval of an alley waiver.
3. The existing home on this tract will be removed prior to filing this plat
for record with Dallas County.
