STAFF PRESENT: Lorrie Fletcher, Planner I STAFF CONTACT: Lorrie Fletcher, (817)748 -8069; Ifletcher @ci.southlake.tx.us EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Property Situation The property is located on the west side of Peytonville between Cedar Creek Plantations and Trail Creek subdivisions. Development Details Four Peaks Development, Inc. is proposing a zoning change for five (5) residential lots with SF -1A Single Family Residential zoning. Development of Lots 3 -6 are proposed on the concept plan; keeping the remaining two (2) lots in tact as the original homestead. The proposed zoning is for approximately 10.3 acres. A private 30 foot access easement is proposed, fronting Lots 3 -6. QUESTIONS DISCUSSION QUESTION: Why just a 24 foot road? RESPONSE: To keep the impact low as possible. The proposed road meets minimum city requirements. With only 4 residential lots, this road will be adequate. QUESTION: Will the road be private? RESPONSE: Yes. QUESTION: Will there be a security gate? RESPONSE: Not at this point. QUESTION: Where will the frontage be? RESPONSE: The houses will face the south towards the private drive. QUESTION: What about trash pick up? RESPONSE: Same as any neighborhood in Southlake. QUESTION: Will the street be cement? RESPONSE: No, we are planning to put in asphalt. QUESTION: What will be the square footage of the homes? RESPONSE: Nothing specific yet. Probably a minimum of 4500 square feet. QUESTION: Why would a buyer want to pay for a house that faces tennis courts? RESPONSE: With good design and landscaping, I don't think it will be a problem. Most living areas are in the rear of the house. QUESTION: We are concerned about privacy issues? RESPONSE: We can work with you on this. QUESTION: Are there any easements or variances you are requesting other than the road? RESPONSE: No. QUESTION: Can the creek handle the drainage? RESPONSE: Yes. FIMA and my engineers have verified this. QUESTION: Since the private drive is not maintained by the city, how will it be maintained during construction? RESPONSE: We will wait to apply the final top layer of asphalt until after the construction is completed. QUESTION: Will there be covenants in place to cover expenses for the road? RESPONSE: Yes. QUESTION: How is this application different from last year? RESPONSE: Last year the applicant proposed to zone separately and there were access issues. QUESTION: How will you deal with drainage? RESPONSE: We may plan for a swale on the north side. We have to follow all the rules and regulations so we do not increase what is there now. Engineering is in the process. QUESTION: Has your development been cleared for P &Z yet? RESPONSE: No, we have not made a formal submittal yet. QUESTION: Are there any other subdivisions like this in Southlake? RESPONSE: Yes, Bosworth and Saddle Creek. QUESTION: Do the proposed lots meet city requirements? RESPONSE: Yes. QUESTION: What is your timing on this application? RESPONSE: We are prepared to submit soon. QUESTION: Why doesn't this case go before ZBA again since it was denied by them last year? RESPONSE: This is a different request. QUESTION: What is the time period when a case is denied by ZBA before you can re- apply? RESPONSE: l believe it is 6 months. At this point in the meeting, discussion occurred regarding ZBA case number 535, as well as, many concerns for flooding /drainage.
