PROJECT:
Estates
REQUEST: On behalf of Mills Custom Homes Jay Wasserman is requesting approval of a zoning
change from “RE” Single Family Residential Estate District to “R-PUD” Residential
Planned Unit Development District and an associated development plan on
approximately 3 acres. This 3 acre tract is the remaining portion of a total 5 acre
platted lot that was subdivided by metes and bounds in June of 1997 without filing an
approved plat. This property and the other 2 acres have been sold to two different
parties other than the party which may have engaged in the act of subdivision. The 3
acres does not comply with the minimum 5 acre lot area requirement of the “RE”
district and must be rezoned to allow for a replat to be processed. A two lot plat
revision will be presented for consideration in conjunction with this request should it be
forwarded for a second reading by the City Council. The proposed lots are
approximately 1.63 acres and 1.34 acres.
This Residential Planned Unit Development shall abide by the “SF-1A” Single Family
Residential Zoning District and the Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended with
the following exceptions:
Open Space - 20 percent open space placed within a preservation easement. The
preservation easement will only permit residential driveways,
fencing/walls and entry gates within the area. Paved areas shall be of a
permeable material. Trees removed for construction to be mitigated on
a 1” to 1” caliper size basis.
Minimum Lot Area – 1.25 acres
Minimum Floor Area – 4,000 square feet
Maximum Accessory Buildings – 2 with total area of 2,500 square feet per lot.
Minimum Masonry Standard – 80% Masonry or true stucco
The initial zoning request was for “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District.
Following the recommendation for denial by the Planning & Zoning Commission on
March 9, 2006 and the first hearing held by City Council on March 21, the applicant
requested to amend the application to RPUD and be remanded back to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for reconsideration.
The plans included with report have been revised to reflect conditions of the first
reading approval by the City Council on May 2, 2006.

PROPERTY SITUATION: 520 W. Highland Street
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Portion of Lot 1, Block 1, Arnold Estates
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “RE” Single Family Residential Estate District
REQUESTED ZONING: “R-PUD” Single Family Residential District
HISTORY: -A change of zoning to “RE” was approved by City Council on January 2, 1990.

TRANSPORTATION
Master Thoroughfare Plan
ASSESSMENT:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends W. Highland Street to be a 2-lane,
undivided collector roadway with 70 feet of right-of-way adjacent to this site.
Adequate right-of-way dedication will be required with a plat revision.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The lot has direct access onto W. Highland Street.
Currently, W. Highland Street is a 2-lane, undivided roadway. The capacity of
the existing roadway is approximately 8,400 vehicle trips per day. Under this
condition, the roadways would be considered to operate under a level of service
‘D’. This development is not expected to warrant expansion of the existing
roadway network. No plans for improvement in the near future have been
made for W. Highland Street.
