MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Herring. STAFF PRESENT: Senior Planner Kee, City Planner Callaway, Planning Technician Thomas, Assistant to the City Engineer Morgan, City Engineer Pullen, and Development Coordinator Volk. AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Approval of minutes from the meeting of August 20, 1992. Commissioner Hall moved to approve the minutes from the meeting of August 20, 1992 as written. Commissioner Mariott seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). 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 still zoned interim A-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 reflected 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 also reflect these three tracts as R-1. Leaving these tracts A-O would not be in compliance with minimum lot sizes, nor would an A-O classification be in compliance with the purpose of an A-O district. Rezoning areas 6 and 7, the Henry and Waltman tracts, from A-O interim to A-O 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 Foxfire Homeowners Association, 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 Duble 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 maintaining a single family residential subdivision. Chairperson Hawthorne closed the public hearing. C7 L~ • Commissioner Mariott moved to recommend approval of the City initiated rezoning request of several tracts in and around the recently annexed Foxfire Subdivision from interim A-O Agricultural Open to permanent A-O Agricultural Open and R-1 Single Family Residential as presented by staff. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration of a final plat of the Oakgrove phase 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 will 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). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Other business. Senior Planner Kee informed the Commission of the American Planning Association (APA) Conference scheduled in October. The City has budgeted funds for two Commissioners to attend. Senior Planner Kee asked that interested Commissioners work with Chairperson Hawthorne. Chairperson Hawthorne will notify staff by the next Commission meeting scheduled for September 17, 1992 of the two Commissioners who will be attending the conference. Senior Planner Kee also informed the Commission that a workshop has been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, August 30, 1992 at 5:30 p.m. AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Adjourn. Commissioner Hall moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Commissioner Lane seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). ~A, P ann'ng Tec i atahe omas P & Z Commission APPRO /~/ .~ `' ------- J-- ~' -, ~ C rperson, Kyle Hawthorne September 3, 1992 Page 2 ~~a-«-~ ~* REGISTRATION FORM ~~ (FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL) Date of Meeting ~ City Council Agenda It m No ~~ Name ~~/~D Address l70D ~~DS .~ ~ S House No. Street City IF SPEAKING FOR AN ORGANIZATION, Name of Organization: J ~-OX ~ i-C J~-1~°o~y/jG~_ / l ~~ And, Speaker's Official Capacity: ~rPSiC~ SUBJECT ON WHICH PERSON WISHES TO SPEAK: L ~r/~-l !
