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.
Commissioner Gribou moved .to recommend. approval of the. final plat of the Oakgrove
phase of the Springbrook subdivision as presented by staff. Commissioner Mariott seconded
the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0).
