In June 2003 Council amended the Land Use Map of the 1996
Comprehensive Master Plan on approximately 16.5 acres of
property from Neighborhood Retail to Residential Low Density
which included this property and the property to the east
(now Alexander Court). Also considered at that public
hearing was a Planning and Zoning Commission initiated
rezoning of this area from C (Commercial) to SF-12 (Single
Family-12). The former owner of the western portion of this
property (Ruby McDowell) agreed to the rezoning. However,
the previous owner of the eastern property requested that her
ITEM # 7

property not be rezoned to residential at that time and retain
its C (Commercial) zoning designation. That property was
recently purchased and rezoned to PD-220R-SF-12, (Alexander
Court). The ownership of the % acre leave-out tract (a portion
of the current request area) between PD-220R-SF-12 and the
former McDowell property had been in question and was not
part of either rezoning actions, therefore it retained its
Commercial designation.
TRANSPORTATION:
Bethel Road is currently a two lane asphalt road. It is
projected to have a variable width right-of-way containing a
28 foot wide concrete roadway. Based upon current
projections, the road is scheduled for construction no sooner
than the third quarter of 2009.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-single family homes - PD-119-SF-9 (Big Cedar) and PD-
220R-SF-12 (Alexander Court)
South - single family homes - PD-1 08R2 (The Reserve)
East - vacant residential lots - PD-220R-SF-12 (Alexander Court)
West - undeveloped - SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended in 2003, shows
this property as suitable for Residential Low Density
development.
DISCUSSION:
As a companion piece to the request just heard, this minor
plat delineates the property boundary and requests the
same alteration submitted with the zoning case--no alley
and a reduced side yard setback. We support elimination
of the alley on this one-lot subdivision, but question
reduction of the west side yard setback to eight feet.
Although staff understands that some reduction in this side
yard might be reasonable due to the distance between this
structure and anything built next door (because of the
presence of the Grapevine Creek flood plain), it would
appear that an 11,000 square foot house placed upon a 2.5
acre parcel could abide by all setback requirements. As a
compromise, we would recommend approval of the plat,
but with a 25 foot side yard on the western boundary line.
We utilize the same rationale as in the earlier case in that
effectively this property owner has a 250 foot front yard, and
ITEM # 7
Page 2 of 3
10% of the effective front yard would require a 25 foot
setback.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this minor plat with the following conditions:
1. Retain a 25 foot side yard on the western property line,
and show on the plat document.
2. Contact Larry Redick at (972) 323-8917 to discuss electric
service requirements.
3. A tree removal permit will be required prior to start of
construction.
4. The driveway encroaches onto the floodplain. No fill can
be placed in the floodplain to construct the driveway.
No fence will be allowed in the floodplain.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
