Dear Marcie,
This letter is to inform you that I will be unable to
attend the January City Council meeting.
I will be out of the country; however, it is ever so important
that I be there to represent our case. I am asking
to be granted a delay until the February 8, 2005 meeting.
I appreciate all of your efforts with our case (PD-163R4-SF-9, Windsor Estates and Replat).
Thank you,
Jill Watkins

In 1997, PD-163 for Windsor Estates was established to allow the
development of 27 single-family homes and common areas on
15.78 acres of property. The Preliminary Plat for this subdivision
was approved for 24 residential lots and two common areas in May
1998. The Final Plat, for 23 residential lots and three common
areas, was approved in May 1999. In June 1999, the PD was
amended to revise the entry features and create additional common
areas to accommodate landscaping.

Item# 6
On January 13, 2004, Council approved a revision to this PD and a
replat, to allow: combining of Lots 4&5, Block B, into one lot;
revising the size of the common areas (Lots 1X and 19X, Block
A); revising the size of Lots 1, 2, 14, 16 and 17, Block A;
renaming Lot 15 to Lot 15X; revising the 100-year Flood Plain
line, and denied a request to reduce the fence/building line on
Lot 1, Block B (612 St. James) from 25 to 15 feet along
DeForest Road.
On September 16, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Commission,
with a vote of 4 to 3, denied this replat to allow the retention of an
existing 4.25' tall wrought iron fence on an 18" tall retaining wall
15' from the property line along DeForest Road.
TRANSPORTATION:
DeForest Road has been extended through this subdivision as a
concrete, 27' wide, residential street built within a 50' right-of-
way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Single Family (Windsor Estates); PD-163R2-SF-9
South - Single Family (Windsor Estates); PD-163R2-SF-9
East - Single Family (Windsor Estates); PD-163R2-SF-9
West - Single Family (Windsor Estates); PD-163R2-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable low density residential.
DISCUSSION:
This is a companion item to the request to amend the PD to allow for the
reduced fence setback line along DeForest Road. This building/fence
setback line was also included in the original subdivision plat for this
property; therefore, if the rezoning is granted, this lot must be replatted.
If the rezoning is denied, then the request for this replat must be denied.
In the event that this request is approved, staff is requesting that the
notation of "fence and building setback line" be added to the west side of
this lot, along St. James Place. This condition was a separate note on the
previous plat and to assure clarity, this needs to be graphically
represented.

Staff recommends consistency with the recommendation on the PD
amendment request. If it is approved, then this replat should be
approved subject to:
1) The notation "fence and building setback line" being added
to the west side of this lot, along St. James Place.
