AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Public hearing to consider a City initiated rezoning request of several tracts in and around the recently annexed Foxfire Subdivision. (92-107) Senior Planner Kee presented the staff report. ... The subject area was recently annexed into the City and is therefore'stillzoned interimA-O Agricultural Open. The Zoning Ordinance stipulates that all property that is zoned in this classification be rezoned within one year of the. date of annexation. Rezoning the Foxfire. subdivision.to..R-1 Single Family Residential would be .in compliance with development policies and would not make changes to the transportation plan. Foxfire fills in.the area between Emerald Forest and Woodcreek, which are both retlected as low density residential on the land use plan. This subdivision has been in existence since the late 1970's and has been residential since that time. There are three lots that are bounded by the Foxfire. subdivision that are not legally considered part of Foxfire Subdivision; Chylinski areas 8A, 8B and Pearce tract 9. This. rezoning as proposed would. .a1so reflect. these three tracts as R-1. Leaving. these tractsA-O would. not be in compliance with minimum lot sizes, nor would an A-O classification be in compliance with the purpose of anA-O district. Rezoning areas 6 and 7, the Henry and Waltman tracts, froITI A-Q interim to A-Q permanent would present no conflict. A-O allows residential and agricultural uses with a minimum lot size. of five acres. Chairperson Hawthorne opened the public hearing. President of the FoxfireHomeownersAssociation, Bill Fox of 1700 Frost, approached the Commission and stated that he is in favor of the proposed City initiated rezonings. He added .that the Homeowners Association is in general agreement that this subdivision should remain single family .residential. as developed. Richard DubIe. of 1003 Howell approached the Commission. and stated that he is in favor of the proposed rezonings and appreciates the fact that the City is preserving the intent of the deed restrictions in Inaintaining.asingle family residential. subdivision. Chairperson Hawthorne closed . the public hearing.

AGENDA ITEM NO.3: Considerationofa final plat of theOakgrovephase of the Springbrook . Subdivision located on .the southwest quadrant of Barron Road and State Highway. 6. (92-212) Assistant to the City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and recommended approval of the final plat as submitted. A preliminary plat of Oakgrove was .approved by the City Council on May 28,1992. This approval was conditioned on the provision of sidewalks along Cardinal Lane and Robin Trail. This final plat varies only slightly from the approved preliminary plat. Robin Trail has been changed to a cul-de-sac and Dove Trail has been extended through to Barron Road. This change is not significant as it still provides access through the subdivision to Barron Road. The sidewalk requirements as approved by City Council win then apply to Dove . Trail. All-comments from the presubmission conference held on August 12,1992 have been addressed. Commissioner Hall suggested that the maintenance note pertaining to South Fork Lick Creek be listed. in the general notes section to make the maintenance responsibility more clear to prospective buyers and the general.public.
