Item; Public .hearing and :consideration of a City initiated rezoning of the South Hampton
Subdivision, a 52 acre suigle family subdivision located at the southwest-corner of
Nantucket Dr. and SH 6 from R-1 Single Family to PDD-H Planned Development District
- Residential.
Item Summary: This property was recently rezoned to R 1 Single Family after s master
plan was approved showing 115 single family lots ranging in size from 1/4 to 1/2 acres.',
Theminimumlot size in R 1 is 1/8 acre. If the property remains R-1, the lots could be
subdivided in the future into even smaller dots. The PDD is a new district that ties the
zoning classification to a .particular development plan: This PD district ties the developer
of South Hampton and any'firture owner/developer to the plan that was approved. Any
further subdividing or changing of the street layout would require another rezoning
process and therefore involve two public hearings...
The plan presented with this PDD contains the following;
• 109 single family lots;
• residential and collector street layout as shown with one access. onto Nantucket Dr.,
• 39 foot wide collector streets -Sand Dollar, Sconset from Wayfarer to SH 6
Cranberry Ct., Ebbtide Loop, Bay and Wayfarer,
• 27 foot. wide streets are the remaining cul-de-sacs
• two buffer areas along SH 6 (75') and Nantucket Dr:(40'). These areas will be
maintained by the individual property owners. Any yard fences will be built on the
buffer line rather than the right-of--way line.. Additional. tree planting will be
encouraged in the buffer areas.
• lots LR12,3 will be;,given to the Nantucket HOA for maintenance. These lots are for
signage and landscaping for the Nantucket subdivision.
• setbacks will be the standard R 1 setbacks with the following exceptions as shown on
the plan:
Those lots where drainage is along the rear, then the setbacks will be 10
greater than the drainage easement which will be a fined dimension at the
time of final platting:.
For lots backing up to SH 6 shall have a 100 foot rear setback {25 feet in
addition to the'75 `buffer).
In Phase: S the lots. that side on SH 6 will .have that side setback of 85 feet
(10 feet in addition to the 75 foot buffer)
Lot 1 block i Phase One -setback is the buffer strip.
Lots backing up to the buffer. on Nantucket will have. a .rear setback of 50
feet. (10 feet from the buffer)
• Sidewalks as .per the subdivision regulations (on both sides of collectors and none on
cul-de=sacs). Variance is being requested to place. only one sidewalk onthe-east. side
of -Sand Dollar Cove because the west.. side fronts the'larger lots in the ETJ.

The developer may dedicate-more right-of-way than called for in the subdivision
.regulations for the particular type of street proposed. This is due to the drainage system
used. The developer will be ying into the existing ditches in Nantucket and thus needs to
dedicate additional right-of--way to cover the.. pavement, curb & gutter, sidewalks and
ditches: Typical urban: street sections do not have ditches to carry the drainage. There are
curbs and gutters and underground storm drains which require less right-of--way.
Policy Issue Statements
Civic Pride Citizens benefit from well-planned, attractive residential and
commercial areas, and from-preserving historic areas.
