The preliminary plat of phases one and two must include a portion of the parkland/greenbelt area located north of the centerline of the creek. The City must have the additional property in order to maintain the creek area.) Thee following is a list of ordinance requirements .identified by the Presubmission Conference. This list .does not relieve the applicant of total compliance with all current ordinance requirements.

When the official flood plain is established, then park/greenbelt area on the other side of the creek can be shown. Why was the "proposed extra R.O.W. dedication" made along Greens Prairie Road? Move the Phase Line in Block 2 so it falls between lost 3 & 4. Move the Phase Line in Block 1 so itfalls between lots 35 & 36. Indicate the acreage of the dedicated parkland. Change'the note on the thoroughfare to the west of this property to read something like "approximate location according to the proposed thoroughfare plan", or a similar label. Show the acreage of the R-5 tract. Show the possible number of dwelling units. What is the "dense vegetation" triangular shaped area along the eastern property line adjacent to BVSMA? Where will access to the greenbelt be in the area to the east of Pebble Creek Parkway? There are a lot of lots backing up to the creek, and also double frontage lots which the ordinance says are to be avoided if possible. REMINDER: Drainage easements cannot be figured into requirements for minimum lot sizes. Several lots east of Pebble Creek Parkway do not appear to meet minimum standards {50x100). Double & triple fronted lots are always a problem, and should be avoided according to the subdivision regulations. Also a lot of right-angle lots which are "generally to be avoided". A variance request (letter) will be required to Section 8.G.2 (re: adjoining street systems) since you are asking not to make a street connection to the property to the east. A variance request (letter). will be required to the maximum lot length (1200 ft.). Include pedestrian accessways (2) to get. to the neighborhood park. /////~ l a ~~C~~~ C REPORT STAFF PR ~. ~~ Master -Pebble Hi11s Estates . ~~ ~ ~ Case #96-309 ~t our previous meetings, we said we would accept the "Master Plan" but not. a er Preliminary Plat until the HEC runs are. made to establish the flood plain location..

City Planner Kee, City Engineer Laza, Senior Planner McCully, Staff Planner Dunn,. Planning Intern Evans, Transportation Planner Bard, Assistant City Attorney Robinson and Development Coordinator Volk. ` AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Approval of minutes from the meeting of June 20, 1996. Mr. Lightfoot made a motion. to approve the minutes as submitted. Mr. Parker seconded the motion which carried unanimously (6-0) AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Public hearing to consider a rezoning and master plan of the Pebble Hills Subdivision located along the north side of Greens Prairie Road, approximately 1400 feet east of the State Highway 6. {96-109 ~ 96-309) Senior Planner Kuenzel (McCully) made the staff presentation, explaining that she would be combining the report forthe master plan and the rezoning request. She stated that the plan is for the development. of 174 acres into about 262 single family lots on 150 acres, 172 multi-family units on 7 acres and 17 acres of commercial development, along with the extension of 3 collector streets through the area, and the dedication.. of a sizable greenbelt and parkland area to the City. She then explained that earlier in July Council approved a rezoning request for 48 acres of R-1 Single Family. Residential land which is the area on this master plan fronting on Greens. Prairie. Road and extending to the creek. The applicant has now submitted a requesf to rezone the remaining 126 acres of the 174 tract to some R-1, some C-1 and some R-5. Ms. Kuenzet (McCully) explained that this rezoning. shows densities typical of those found along the East Bypass subdivisions, which is in compliance with the current, approved Land Use Plan, but she pointed out that if the new land use plan being proposed by the consultants now is adopted, this request will not be in compliance. That new plan shows much lower density in this area than our current low density residential. She stated hat both the R-5 part of the request and the C-1 part are in compliance with the current, approved Land Use Plan, but that neither would be in compliance with the new plan if it is adopted, explaining that on the proposed plan all of the: property is shown as low density rural residential, with a large area of regional retail at the main intersectio~of SMG 8~ Greens Prairie F~oad. She briefly covered other parts. of the staff report included in the packet, including the necessary extensions of water. & sewer lines, dedication of greenbelt and "upland° parkland and extensions of collector streets through the tract, and finalized her presentation by stating making a recommendation that staff thinks that the proposed higher density. single family subdivision with the preservation of open space and with city sewer is preferable to a lower density subdivision without those amenities. She reiterated'thatthe current land use plan supports this rezoning, and that although the proposed draft land use plan. does not because of he density proposed, staff recommends approval of the request as submitted. The Commission. had no questions of staff at this time and the public hearing was opened. Marion Creaga~* came forward and identified herself as one of the owners of the land surrounding this subdivision. She saidshe had no objection to the rezoning request, but she does have a problem in that she did not get a letter of notification. She exhibited a letter that had been sent to a trust, but stated that she thought she should have been notified as well. She said that some of the other property owners adjacent tothe subject property had not received notification either. Shepointed out that there is an oil well an the property and wondered how development could ake place over that well. She continued by explaining that she is also concerned with the road shown cutting through the property -which would cut hrough her property also and wondered if the plat could be changed, or if it would be approved tike it has been submitted if it is approved `tonight. Ms. Kuenzel (McCully). explained that the master plan. proposed is basically a conceptual plan, and a preliminaryplat and a final plat must be submitted, reviewed, considered and approved before anything. can be built. City Planner Kee explained that the major streets will be required in the area as the property develops. Mr. Gribou added that the location of streets is a concept `at this time, and that location can be changed, but cautioned that is must be addressed quickly because this project is in the process now and this developer is planning his development around what is shown. Mr. Gribou asked staff about the timing of the roads and Mrs. Kee explained that as the property develops the developer will be responsible for building the roads. Staff then explained that regarding the complaint about proper notification, staff with have to check the records in the fiFes sometime after tonight's meeting. Dr. Marsh, another owner of property abutting this tract came forward and said he has no problem with the request, but he resents the fact thaf he had not been informed or consulted regarding the location of the streets shown on this plan in the area. Mr. Gribou explained that there have been many public meetings over the'pasf 2 years where the general location of streets was discussed. Mrs. Kee added that there will be additional public meetings and then public. hearings, so everyone who has an interest in what. the City has planned for future development. should be cognizant of #hose meetings an attend to give input. There were no additional comments. The public. hearing was closed. Commissioner Smith made a motion to approve the rezoning request,and the master plan as submitted. Commissioner Gamer secondedthe motion. Commissioner Massey asked for clarification concerning the location of the oil well and City Planner Kee responded by explaining that there is not. problem with the well being there .and being shown on a master plan, but when actual platting takes place, all of those types of problems will have to be addressed according to the regulations in place at the time. Votes were-cast on the motion to approve both the. rezoning. request and the master plan for Pebble Hills Estates and the. motion was approved unanimously (ti-0). AGENDA ITEM N0.3: Public hearing to consider a City initiated .rezoning for the entire Northgate Area totaling 141.94 acres and bound by Wellborn Road, University Drive, South .College and the,current City limits boundary from C-1 General Commercial, R-2 Duplexes, R-6 Nigh Density, ~artments, R-o1 Single Family Residential and.
