AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: The Consent Agenda consists: of non-controversial or
"housekeeping".items required bylaw. Items maybe removed from the Consent Agenda by any

(1.2) Consideration of a final plat for. Snug Harbor II in the Nantucket Subdivision.(95-209)
(1.3) Consideration of a final plat for the Edelweiss Estates Phase Five Subdivision.(95-207)
All consent agenda items were approved by consent.
AGENDA ITEM NO.2: Public hearing to consider a rezoning request and master
preliminary plat for 6.71 acres, Woodcreek Subdivision Section Seven, located in the southwest
quadrant of Stonebrook and Stonebridge Drives near the Rock .Prairie Road intersection from
R-1 Singte Family Residential to PL1D #2 Planned Unit Development. (95-104 & 95-306) ~/
City Planner Kee, presented the staff report and informed the Commission that the-subject property. was
zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) #1 prior to being zoned R-I. The request. to return to the
PUD zoning is being made to facilitate single. family development with the flexibility. to have some
common wall construction between some of the dwelling .units. The:: density as proposed on the
development plan. and preliminary plat will be 3.4 units .per acre which is comparable to surrounding
residential densities. Surrounding properties are zoned R-1, PUD #1 and C-3 Planned Commercial. A
request for PUD zoning requires that a development. plan and preliminary plat. accompany the request,,
The plan is 'for twenty-three lots and a private street.. The request for PUD #2 :rather than PUD #1 is
due to the desire. to have more square footage for each home. PUD #2 allows more units per acre and
more total allowable floor plan .area than PUD #1. This layout. in a PUD #1 would limit the units.. to
2,OS9 square feet 'per unit. In a PUD #2 there can be up to an average of 3,304 squara feet per unit.
City Planner Kee stated that although the allowable .density is higher by ordinance, the applicant
commits himself to the development. plan as presented with the zone request, which calls for a density of
3.4 units per acre. The applicant is also proposing additional parking over and above that required by
ordinance. 'The number and' exact location of these spaces will be determined at the time of final plat.
.The proposed location of thee. parking is shown. as dashed lines on the plat; however, the applicant
desires to locate the spaces to save as many trees as possible and the tree survey to date is not complete.
A Project Review Committee. meeting was held. on March 1, 1995 and approval was recommended with
the inclusion ofscreening along Stonebridge Drive.
City Planner Kee .stated that the homes in the PUD across Stonebridge will face the backs `of the homes
in this proposed PUD. The screening may consist of fencing or landscaping or a combination. The
proposal complies with all applicable subdivision regulations and with the original master plan of
Woodcreek as approved by the City Council when development began in that subdivision.. Eighteen
surrounding property owners were notified of the rezoning request.. Approximately thirty calls were
received. requesting more .information about the request and the PUD #2 district; however,. no calls in
opposition to the request were received.
Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing.
The following surrounding property owners spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning:
.Gene Clark, Stonebridge HOA President 1302 Sussex
Robert Chenoweth 9415 Stonebridge
Ellen Toby 1303 Sussex
The following concerns were expressed by the surrounding property owners:
(1) Adequate screening along Stonebridge. There is an established character in the
subdivision with the existing masonry screening walls along Stonebrook. These
brick .walls should be :required along Stonebridge as a permanent buffer between
the existing and proposed. developments. The masonry. fencing should be strictly
maintained and not consist of only wood fencing. and landscaping. If a permanent
fence is not required along Stonebridge, .parking will be ..encouraged in the existing
PUD and along Stonebridge.
(2) Permanent control of the quality of .the proposed development. A closely
restricted set of covenants and deed restrictions should be required in order to
control the overall appearance of the proposed development. The surrounding
property.. owners should be able to review. and have. input into the covenants and
restnctions .for the proposed development.
(3) Parking congestion. It appears that the plan only provides parking in the cul-de-
sac and .not near the entrance of the subdivision. The lack of parking near
Stonebrook Drive will encourage parking along that. street. and lead to possible
traffic safety problems in the. area.
(4) Additional traffic congestion resulting from a higher density development. Traffic
will be increased along ` Stonebrook and Rock Prairie Road that is currently
substandard with no foreseeable plans to upgrade Rock Prairie Road.
(5) The appearance and maintenance of the recreation area and. detention pond.
Paul Darmitzel,' Senior Vice President of TAC Realty, approached the Commission and stated that the
proposed density of the PUD does not exceed the density allowed in an R-1 zoning district. He stated
that the purpose of going to a PUD is to provide. a more attractive subdivision through the use of
common open space that is .more consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. The existing R-1
zoning would allow more homes and less open space than what is being proposed. Ivir. Darmitzel
informed the Commission that the management of the proposed development will probably be under the
same homeowners association as other phases developed by TAC Realty within the. Woodcreek
.Subdivision and will include similar architectural restnctions. The existing brick screening walls
throughout the subdivision are attractive and expensive; however, more importantly, they are only
installed on major thoroughfares and not private streets. A buffer will be installed.. along Stonebridge;
however, the developer would like the flexibility. of .designing that screen. Mr. Darmitzel stated that
withsespect to parking, more parking spaces are being provided than.. required in an R-1 zoning district.
Each of the units will have a two car garage, the private street is 33' wide to allow parking on the street
if necessary and additional parking is being provided within the common area in the cul-de-sac.
P & Z Mira~tes March 16, 1995. Page 2 of 7
Mr. Darmitzel stated that there was also a concern with the increased traffic in the area; however, there
will be increased traffic in the area if the property is developed under the current R-1 zoning. Mr.
Darmitzel `stated that the .proposed recreation area will probably be a landscaped area that will be
maintained by the homeowners association. The detention area is simply a dry pond that will handle
run-off during periods of heavy storms. Ivlr. Darmitzel concluded that the majority of the concerns
expressed by the surrounding property owners would apply to the existing R-1 zoning.
Mr. Clark questioned the Commission.. as to what will happen with the final plat. and the final version of
the .deed restrictions. He' stated that he is still concerned with appropriate deed restrictions and
maintenance of the proposed development.
Chairman Hawthorne stated that some type of homeowners association will be established to deal with
the maintenance issues regardless of zonung. There is also no requirement for the developer to present
covenants and restrictions for the development to address -items such as architectural control, etc.
Chairman Hawthorne closed the public heanng.
City Planner Kee stated that staff will notify the surrounding property owners once a final plat is
submitted for review.and approval.
Commissioner Hall' moved to recommend approval of a rezoning request and master preliminary plat for
6.71 acres, Woodcreek Subdivision Section Seven, located in the southwest .quadrant of'Stonebrook
and Stonebridge Drives near the. Rock Prairie .intersection from R-1 Single Family Residential to
Planned Unit Development #2 with the condition that permanent screening. be installed along
Stonebnidge Drive. Commissioner Hall recommended a minimum screening .requirement of masonry
pillars' with wood: fencing and vegetation. He' also suggested hat the developer work with the
Stonebridge homeowners association on a compromise for the screening wall. Commissioner Smith
seconded the motion.
Chairman Hawthorne stated that he will vote in .favor of the motion; however, he would prefer to give
the developer. some flexibility. on the design of the screening wall. If the surrounding property owners
and the developer cannot agree on a compromise, then the issue can come. back before the Commission.
However, the screening should be consistent with whatever is being' installed along Stonebn-idge for the
Lake Forest South development.
The motion to recommend approval with the condition. of the screening fence passed unopposed (5 - 0).
AGENDA ITEM N0.3: Public hearing to consider a rezoning request for approximately 64
acres located on the northwest corner of the University Drive and East Bypass intersection in the
University Drive Corridor from R 1 Single Family Residential to C-B Commercial Business and
R 5 Medium Density Apartments. (95-105)
Senior Planner Kuenzel presented the staff report .and recommended. approval of the rezoning request
with the following conditions:
(1) Access points be limited to one drive off of the Bypassand one drive offof University.
(2) Cross access be provided.
(3) °There be a landscaped. buffer between the proposed C-B zoning and the existing R-1
zoning to the north.
(4) Sewer impact study be provided at the time of development discussing the .impact of the
development on the ex~stmg sewer infrastructure both on and ofl' site, thus determining.
the. necessity of improvements to the system to handle .the increased flows generated
from the rezoning. All' improvements will be the,responsibility of the developer.
(5) A tree survey be conducted and submitted for the purposes of native tree preservation.

Item: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning from R-1 to P.U.D. #2 and a
preliminary plat of 6.71 acres, Woodcreek Phase 7. This property is located in
the Woodcreek Subdivision at the southwest quadrant of the Stonebrook Drive
and Stonebridge Drive intersection. Applicant is TAC Realty.
Item Summary: Property contains 6.71 acres .and is currently zoned R-1 Single
Family. The request is for PUD #2. Prior to being zoned R-1 it was .zoned PUD
#1. The request to return to the .PUD zoning is .being made to facilitate single
family.. development with the flexibility to have some common wall construction
between some of the dwelling units. The density as proposed on the
development plan. and preliminary plat will be 3.4 units per acre which is
comparable to surrounding residential densities.
A request for PUD zoning requires that a development plan and preliminary plat
accompany it. The plan is for 23 lots .and a private street. The request for PUD
#2 rather than PUD #1 is due to the desire to have more square footage for each
home. PUD #2 allows more units. per acre and more total. allowable floor area
than PUD #1. This layout in a PUD #1 would limit the units to 2,059 sf per unit.
In a PUD #2 there can be up to an average of 3;304 sf per unit. Although the
allowable density is higher by ordinance, the applicant commits himself to the
development plan as presented with the zone request.
', w•
K
Theapplicant is also proposing additional parking over and above that required by
ordinance.. The number. and exact location of these spaces will be determined at
the time of final plat..
There was concern and opposition expressed at the P&Z meetings. .Concerns
expressed involved: screening, control. of the quality of the development, parking
congestion, increased traffic and appearance of the. recreational area. (Refer to
P&Z minutes for detail.)
This case was fieard at the City Council. meeting that took place on April 13,
1.99..5. Council voted to delay action until the next meeting. in order to give the
applicant a `chance to review the screening issue with Woodcreek residents. The
.homeowners would prefer a continous brick fence that matches other walls that
are used elsewhere in the subdivision. The applicant has offered a brick column
and wood fence combination.
Financial Summary: NA
Staff Recommendation:,Staff recommends approval with the condition of
screening along Stonebridge Dr. Homes. across the street. from this property face
what will be the backs of the homes in this proposed subdivision.. P&Z
recommends approval .with .minimum screening to include masonry pillars with
wood.. fencing and vegetation (5-0).
City Attorney Recommendation: NA
Council. Action Desired: Approve or deny the rezoning request.
