Flooding was a concern still, because of the development occurring within the floodplain area. There was concern that existing trees on the Raintree lots would be harmed with the fence being so close to their properties. They suggested moving the fence back around 3 or 4 feet so the roots would not be distressed. There was a desire to see better buffering between the Raintree Subdivision and this development. The people who spoke in opposition to the request did not want multi-family development near their single-family subdivision. Acting Chairman Mooney closed the public hearing. Commissioner Warren moved to recommend denial of the rezoning request. Commissioner Floyd seconded the motion. Commissioner Warren expressed her concern with multi-family development being this close to single family residential and with the development being in the floodplain. Commissioner Floyd felt that this development would be too much of an impact to the Raintree homeowners. Commissioner Horlen felt that the Bypass should be the buffer between multi-family and single family developments. Acting Chairman Mooney said that he felt this development was too much of a change in too little of an area and too much information was missing with the proposal. He felt there could be a better transition. ly. Commissioner Kaiser said that this development was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan since townhomes are consistent with existing uses. Commissioner Parker felt that multi-family uses should not be excluded east of the bypass, and he felt that the multi-family could be used as a transition. Acting Chairman Mooney called for the vote, and the motion to recommend denial of the request passed 5-1 (Commissioner Kaiser voted in opposition). Agenda Item No. 9: Consideration of a revised Master Development Plan for Edelweiss Estates and a Final Plat for Edelweiss Estates, Phase 7-B, 13.352 acres located west of Phase 7-C, off of Edelweiss Avenue. (99-228) Staff Planner Timmerson presented the staff report and explained that at the time of the staff report, there was concern from staff as to how the A-P tract and the remaining portion of Phase 9 (zoned R-1) would be treated if the phase lines were to be moved. Because of this concern, Staff was looking for a revision to the Master Development Plan. Since that time Staff had spoken to the applicant and learned that the intent is to move the phase line to 7B, allowing latitude in case the church does not develop at the location. The church received a conditional use-only permit for 10 acres at the corner- of Rock Prairie and Edelweiss. If the church does not develop at this location, there is the option to have a s stand-alone Phase 9, which could be constructed with the one street. She explained that with the phase line being moved in this manner, it would only be considered a minor change to the development plan, which would not require Commission's approval. She explained that this would remove the revision of P&ZMInutes July 15, 1999 Page 11 of 12 IL the Master Development Plan from this agenda item and consideration should only be given to the Final Plat. Ms. J'unmerson said that the Final Plat is in compliance with the Land Use Plan, which shows the area as medium density (3 - 6 dwelling units per acre). This final plat shows approximately 5 dwelling units per acre and is in compliance with the original Master Development Plan. Staff recommended approval of the Final Plat as submitted. Commissioner Floyd moved to approve the Final Plat as submitted. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion, which passed unopposed 6-0. Agenda Item No. 10: Discussion of future agenda items. The Commissioners did not have any items that they wanted to address at this time. AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Adjourn. Commissioner Floyd moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

(99-228, 99-73) Applicant: Mike McClure for Begonia Corporation. Item Summary: This Final Plat of Phase 7-B differs somewhat from the original Master Development Plan, approved in September 1997. Therefore, the developer is also requesting to revise the Master Development Plan by splitting what was originally Phase 9. Approximately half of Phase 9 would be combined with Phase 7-B, as seen on the submitted Final Plat, and the remainder of Phase 9 would be combined with the A-P zoned lot on Rock Prairie Road. In March of this year the A&M Presbyterian Church had a conditional use-only permit approved for 10 acres at the corner of Rock Prairie and Edelweiss. Part of the church tract is located on the A-P lot and part of it includes a portion of the original Phase 9. This intended boundary would leave an undevelopable sliver of A-P and R-1 between the church and the C-1 zoned property to the west. At the time of staff report, it was not clear if the church planned to purchase the sliver and hold it in reserve for future expansion, at which time a revised conditional use permit would be required, or if the developer had a different plan for its use. The developer has several options to address this issue, by rezoning, use permitting, or platting. Budgetary & Financial Summary: None Staff Recommendations: 1.
