Graduate Civil Engineer Thompson presented the Staff Report. Mr. Thompson
pointed out that subsequent replats of these two lots will involve incorporating the

of South Hampton is to the TkDOT ROW and culvert under SH 6 South and that some

The applicant plans to return to replat that particular area at a later date. The plat is
in conformance with the approved Preliminary Plat.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.

• Harpers Ferry Road, spoke in support of the replatting of South Hampton so far as it
maintains the intended densities developed in the 2001 plat for South Hampton.
However, he voiced concern regarding the intended future changes recommended by
City Staff to the master plat from 2001, where one of the cul -de -sacs will be changed
to a thru street to connect with Mariner's Cove, thus permitting a second egress
point from this section of South Hampton through the Nantucket sub - division to
Arrington Road.
Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing.

A -O to R -1 Single Family Residential (2.408 acres). (04 -150)
Staff Planner Hitchcock presented the Staff Report. She stated that approval is
recommended and that the requests are in compliance with the recently amended
Land Use Plan. Since the subject tract abuts undeveloped portions of the Crowley
• and Seaback tracts, Staff will recommend at time of platting that this portion of the
property provide access to those properties.
P &Z Minutes July 15, 2004 Page 2 of 5
There was a brief discussion regarding the possibility of uses and the areas bounding
the properties. Ms. Hitchcock reported that there has been no platting for single
40 family at present for either the Crowley or Seaback tracts.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
Mike McClure, 9262 Brookwater Circle, commented on the plans of the developer.
There was a brief discussion regarding access and possible extensions. Mr. McClure
explained that there will cul -de -sacs and that buffering between the A -P and
residential area is required. However, because access is an issue, he pointed out the
two access easements that are currently planned.
Lois Brokenbourgh, 4113 Windswept, expressed concern about the possibility of
commercial businesses being developed on the property, which is adjacent to her
residence. Chairman Shafer affirmed her concerns. Ms. Hitchcock explained that

Windswept or the alley.

redevelopment of the resulting Lot 1R. The other resulting lot is the current location
of the EZ Travel Motel. She stated that the replat meets zoning and subdivision
requirements and that Staff recommends approval as submitted. No additional
access points to Texas Avenue will be approved. Ms. Cotter reported that plans are

Haven Estates, consisting of approximately 126 acres, generally
located on the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway, south of State Highway 30.
(04 -153)
Staff Planner Prochazka presented the Staff Report. The Master Plan also includes
• other properties that surround the proposed development not controlled by the
applicant so that the proposed development could be considered in the larger
P &Z Minutes July 15, 2004 Page 3 of 5
context. The plan proposes single family development, greenbelt, and commercial,
all in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The plan also provides for the
extension of Appomattox, a minor collector through the back of the existing driving
range property. The applicant has shown this offset extension to comply with the
current Thoroughfare Plan. The proposal includes 17 acres of Single Family and
approximately 3 acres of Commercial Industrial. Staff recommends approval of the
Master Plan with the exception that the 3 acres currently shown for proposed
Commercial Zoning be changed to reflect future residential development in that area.
Commissioner White motioned to approve the Master Plan as submitted.
Commissioner Davis seconded the motion. The motion carried 7 -0.
FOR: Shafer, Davis, Fedora, Hooton, Nichols, Reynolds, and White.
AGAINST: None.
ABSENT: None.
9. Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance Rezoning
Horse Haven Estates, consisting of approximately 20 acres, from A-0
Agricultural Open to R -1 Single- Family Residential, and approximately 3
acres, from A-O Agricultural Open to C -2 Commercial Industrial, generally
located on the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway, south of State Highway 30.
(04 -154)
Staff Planner Prochazka presented the Staff Report. Ms. Prochazka's opening
remarks explained that the Land Use Plan designates the majority of this property as
Single Finaily Residential Mediaum Density, Floodplain /Streams, and a small portion
as Retail Regional. She stated that Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to R-
1 Single Family Residential, but recommends denial of the rezoning to C -2
Commercial Industrial. The commercial industrial use is not appropriate in this
• location because of its adjacency to the proposed R -1 and because its only access
would be from a residential cul-de-sac. Staff recommends tha the area proposed as
C -2 also be rezoned to R -1.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
David Krenek, 2718 Brookway, spoke in favor of the rezoning as presented by Staff.
Alton Ofczarzak, agent for the property owner, spoke in favor of the rezoning
including the C -2 zoning, which would allow them to join other commercial
properties. He stated that a buffer could be established between the R -1 and C -2
zoning districts. There was some discussion regarding access to City parks. Mr.
Ofczarzak mentioned possibly donating approximately 9 acres for parkland use. He
pointed out on the master plan an access to the 9 acres.
Carl Kolby, property owner, spoke in favor of the rezoning and the plans of the
developer. However, he expressed concern about the detention pond and drainage
issues as well as access to his property and the impact on his business.
Bert Herman, 2710 Horse Haven Lane, spoke in favor of the rezoning.
Ron Griffin, 6421 Windwood, President of the Windwood Association, spoke in favor
of the rezoning, but expressed concern regarding the increase in traffic and the
extension of Appomattox.
• Development Manager Ruiz clarified a question regarding access that would connect
the golf course to the cul -de -sac.
P &Z Minutes July 15, 2004 Page 4 of 5
Sherry Ellison, 2705 Brookway Drive, concurred with the recommendations of City
Staff. She too has concerns regarding the roads as things develop and also
drainage. She pointed out that a greenway that would provide access to the park
with a walkway and /or bike area would be desireable.
Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing.

FOR: Shafer, Davis, Fedora, Hooton, Nichols, Reynolds, and White.
AGAINST: None.

Ward Wells , President of The Nantucket Preservation
Association
1415 Harpers Ferry, College Station.
My presence here tonight is to support the re- platting of
South Hampton before you tonight. That is in so far as it
maintains the intended densities developed in the 2001 plat
for South Hampton.
For the record, we are disappointed in the intended future
changes recommended by City staff to the master plat from
2001, where one of the cul -de -sacs will be changed to a
40 through street to connect with Mariner's Cove, thus
permitting a second egress point from this section of South
Hampton through the Nantucket Sub - Division to Arrington
road.
We do understand the need to do so because of the
impending changes to the Highway 6 frontage road to one-
way going south.
Thank
you
