The subject property is located at 3051 Dove Road.]
STATION AND FINAL PLATS OF LOT ONE THROUGH 1926 AND 20 81X BLOCK ONE AND BLOCK ONE BLOCK TWO DOVE STATION. ERICA MAROHNIC.THIS REQUEST IS FOR A ZONE CHANGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3.79 ACRES FROM A GOVERNMENTAL USE ZONING DISTRICT TO AN R 5.00 LOT LINE DISTRICT FOR THE PURPOSES OF DEVELOPING A NEW RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3051 DOVE ROAD AND WAS MOST RECENTLY UTILIZED BY THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OPERATED AS AN ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.
BUT THIS PROPERTY WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED AS A 32,000 SQUARE FOOT FOOD LION GROCERY STORE IN 1991.
THE INTENT OF THIS APPLICATION AND OF THE APPLICANT IS TO REDEVELOP THE PROPERTY INTO A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION WITH 19 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOTS AND TWO OPEN SPACE LOTS AS PROPOSED A NEW PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH WRAPS AROUND THE SITE AND AROUND ONE LARGE OPEN SPACE.
APPROXIMATELY 6400FT² IN SIZE WILL FEATURE 19 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOTS, CREATING RADIATING OUTWARD ALONG THE NEW RIGHT OF WAY, TAKING SOLE ACCESS FROM A NEW DRIVEWAY OR EXCUSE ME, RIGHT OF WAY OFF OF NORTH KIMBALL AVENUE.
THE TABLE ABOVE ON THE SCREEN DETAILS MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WITHIN THE ZERO LOT LINE DISTRICT AS COMPARED TO THE REQUESTED PLAN DEVELOPMENT DEVIATIONS. THEY ARE PROPOSING TO DEVIATE FROM THE MAXIMUM BUILDING COVERAGE BY INCREASING IT BY 15% FROM 40% TO 55%. THEY ARE PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA PER LOT FROM 60% TO 70%.
MINIMUM SIDE YARD SETBACK DEPTH FROM 6FT TO 5FT.
AND THEN ADDITIONALLY DISTANCES BETWEEN BUILDINGS ARE PROPOSED TO BE REDUCED FROM 12FT TO 10FT.
ALL OF THESE PROPOSED SIX DEVIATIONS ARE FOR ALL OF THE 19 RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE PROPOSED DEVIATION TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM LOT DEPTH FOR FOUR LOTS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION FROM 100FT TO 92FT. THOSE CAN BE SHOWN ON THE DIMENSIONAL CONTROL SITE PLAN WITH TWO LOTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND TWO LOTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
ALBERT, CAN YOU GO UP TO THE DIMENSIONAL CONTROL SITE? SO BETWEEN LOTS EIGHT AND NINE ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND LOTS 15 AND 16 ON THE NORTH SIDE.
SURROUNDING USES TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE PROFESSIONAL OFFICE WITHIN FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO TO THE NORTH AND ADDITIONALLY SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE HARWELL EDITION AND PECAN GAP EDITION TO THE NORTH ACROSS DOVE ROAD.
LINDA ESTATES AND TO THE WEST IS THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE.
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THERE WILL BE ONE ACCESS POINT TO NORTH CAMPBELL AVENUE.
AND THE MASTER PLAN OF THE CITY DESIGNATES THIS PROPERTY AS A GOVERNMENTAL USE DISTRICT.
IT IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AS SUCH.
REGARDING NOTIFICATION STAFF SENT OUT PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATIONS ON JULY 7TH TO 34 PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT OF THE SUBJECT REQUEST.
WE DID RECEIVE EIGHT RESPONSES WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTIFICATION BUFFER.
WE DID ALSO RECEIVE 17 RESPONSES IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST.
[00:10:02]
THOSE HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU AT YOUR DYESS.HOWEVER, NONE OF THOSE ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION BUFFER.
THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
THE APPLICANT, MR. ETHAN MARCUS, IS HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT TO THE COMMISSION AND COUNCIL AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT EITHER OF YOU MAY HAVE.
HONORABLE MAYOR TATE AND COUNCIL.
GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN OLIVER AND PNC.
MY NAME IS ETHAN MARCUS, 604 EAST NORTHWEST HIGHWAY, SUITE 102 GRAPEVINE, TEXAS.
COME BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT OUR DOVE STATION NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THESE THOUGHT PROCESSES THAT YOU'LL SEE TONIGHT ACTUALLY STARTED IN MARCH OF 2022.
SO THIS IS A MAP, AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE AREA ON A WIDE ANGLE.
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS OUR LOCATION, DOVE STATION.
WEST. YOU HAVE DOVE TO OUR NORTH NORTHEAST.
AND THEN THIS IS THE BOUNDARY OF SOUTH LAKE AND GRAPEVINE WITH THE WHITE DOTTED LINE RIGHT HERE.
WE'VE SHADED IN THE R SEVEN FIVES.
WE DO HAVE ADJACENCY TO PERRY LINDA, WHICH IS OUR SEVEN FIVE, AND BELIEVE THAT OUR POSITIONING AND OUR WEDGE IS SUITED FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A TRANSITIONAL TYPE USAGE.
WE DO HAVE ANOTHER SCENARIO OF R FIVE TO OUR NORTH THAT IS ACROSS FROM YATES CORNER.
AND THEN OF COURSE, WE HAVE STATION NUMBER TWO THAT'S IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO DOVE STATION.
A LOT OF FLAT WORK, A LOT OF CONCRETE, AND THERE'S SOME SLIDES COMING UP WITH SOME VIEWS FROM DOVE KIND OF AT THE CORNER OF PERRY.
LINDA LOOKING BACK TOWARDS THE OLD ADMIN BUILDING THAT'S FROM DOVE, MORE OF A STRAIGHT ON VIEW AND THEN THE SUBSEQUENT PHOTOS I'LL SHOW YOU I HAVE TAKEN.
AND WHAT I DID HERE WAS TO MAINTAIN APPROXIMATELY 6 TO 8FT PERSONALLY AROUND THE PERRY LINDA FENCES, JUST TO SHOW THE CONDITION OF THE SITE AND THE CONDITION OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS IT DOES HAVE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
BUT I JUST THINK WE CAN DO A LOT BETTER.
THANKS, ALBERT. AND AGAIN, THIS IS THERE'S SOME PHOTOS THAT ARE A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY AND THERE'S SOME CLOSER TOGETHER THAT BUT I DID KEEP THAT PROPORTION AS I WENT AROUND THE PERRY LINDA SITE.
CURRENTLY THERE'S ACCESS OFF OF DOVE ROAD AND THEN THERE'S ACCESS OFF OF KIMBALL.
AND OUR PROPOSAL WE WOULD PUT A MASONRY FENCE COMPLEMENTARY ESTHETICALLY PLEASING PERSONALLY REALLY LIKES FIRE STATION TWO LIKE THE STONE AND I WOULD COMMIT AND IN THIS PROPOSAL AND WOULD LIKE TO MIMIC AND COPY THE STONE THAT'S ON THE DOVE STATION WALL AND THE FIRE STATION TO MATCH SO THAT DOVE ROAD LOOKS COHESIVE WITH A MASONRY WALL.
AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE THE EXIT AND ENTRANCE OFF OF KIMBALL.
THIS DOTTED LINE SHOWS THE ROUTE OF ENTRANCE AND EXIT TO DOVE STATION.
AND THEN THESE GREEN ISLANDS THAT YOU SEE KIND OF FLOATING IN SPACE ARE ACTUALLY OUR GREEN SPACE.
THE CENTER ONE IS ABOUT 6400FT².
SO ABOUT THE AVERAGE SIZE OF ONE OF OUR LOTS IN THERE.
AND THE PROJECT, THE HOMES WE WANT TO SURROUND AND LOOK AND FEEL A SENSE OF COMMON AREA TO THOSE GREEN SPACES WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THESE HOMES DO LOOK IN TOWARDS THAT GREEN SPACE AND YOU'LL SEE SOME RENDERINGS AND SOME THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
HERE'S THE THE PLAN THAT ERICA SHOWED.
[00:15:06]
LOT DETAILS.THIS IS IMPORTANT ON THE DEVIATIONS THAT WERE DISCUSSED.
HERE IS YOUR TYPICAL R5 LOT AND THE DEVIATIONS THAT WERE DISCUSSED.
THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO PUT IN THAT TABLE.
I DO WANT TO POINT THESE THINGS OUT SPECIFICALLY TO TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
THE NEIGHBORS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AND I'VE HEARD THAT THERE IS CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY.
THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT SECOND STORY WINDOWS PRIOR TO EVEN SPEAKING WITH THEM, BECAUSE WE ARE BUILDING OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS IN GRAPEVINE AND ADJACENT TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE TRY TO BE VERY GOOD ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
SO WITH THE SETBACK DEVIATIONS THAT WE'RE REQUESTING, YOUR R5 IS YOUR SIX, SIX AND 25 AND 25.
SO WHAT WE HAVE IS FIVE, 15 AND 20.
AND WHAT THIS DOES IS IT ALLOWS US TO PUT A LOT OF PROGRAM ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
YOU'LL SEE WHEN I CLICK THIS BUTTON NEXT TO THE LEFT, I'M ONLY ALLOWED OR I'M ONLY ABLE TO GET ABOUT 1400 SQUARE FEET DOWNSTAIRS ONCE YOU PUT A GARAGE INTO THAT HOUSE.
SO I AM FORCED TO GO TO A TWO STORY HOME.
SO, YES, WE DO HAVE A BIGGER FOOTPRINT ON OUR TYPICAL DOVE STATION LOT.
BUT WHAT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO IS GET APPROXIMATELY 2100FT² OF LIVABLE SPACE ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
AND IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO NOT PUT WINDOWS AT THE REAR ON THE SECOND STORY.
SO THE PRIVACY CONCERNS TO OUR LINDA NEIGHBORS, WE WOULD HAVE OUR MASSING TO THE FRONT OF THESE HOMES AND TO THE SIDES AND NOT TO THE REAR TO ALLOW MUCH MORE PRIVACY FOR THE PAIR OF LINDA NEIGHBORS TO THE REAR.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF HOME ELEVATIONS ON ERICA'S STAFF PRESENTATION, WHICH WAS BETTER THAN MINE.
AND I JUST WANT TO KEEP MAKING THAT CLEAR.
THESE ARE CONCEPTS THAT WE ARE PUTTING OUT THERE THAT WE WANT TO BUILD.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS EXACT HOUSE WILL BE BUILT, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR.
THIS HOUSE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST HOUSE.
IT'S GOT A LOT OF TWO STORY MASSING AT THE FRONT.
IT'S TWO D WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE BECAUSE OF THE CAPTIONS AT THE BOTTOM ON THOSE TABLES THAT'S SHOWING OUR MATERIALS ARE HEAVILY LOADED TOWARD MASONRY.
WE'VE GOT SOME CAST STONE, NATURAL STONE, BRICK, CEMENTITIOUS SIDING WITH SOME JAMES HARDIE THERE ON THE FRONT, BUT HIGH END FINISHES ON THE EXTERIOR OF THESE HOMES TO COMPLIMENT THE AREA.
SO THAT THE GREEN SPACE IN THE CENTER.
AND WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IS ADD A LOT OF OPEN SPACE IN THE CENTER OF THIS COMMUNITY.
AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT SINGLE LOADS THE STREETS.
SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE IN THE GARAGES, THE DRIVEWAYS.
BUT IF SOMEBODY WAS TO HAVE COMPANY OVER, WE ALSO HAVE A SINGLE LOADED STREET ON THE MAJORITY OF THIS COMMUNITY SO PEOPLE CAN PARK AND BE OUT OF THE WAY AND YOU'LL SEE PROPORTIONATE SLIDE COMING UP, WHICH WILL HELP SHOW THAT A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
BUT THE ZERO LOT LINE HAS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES.
AND IN BETWEEN THESE HOUSES, THE PROPORTIONS THAT ARE ON THE SLIDES I'M FIXING TO SHOW ARE ACCURATE.
THE HUMAN BEINGS THAT YOU SEE IN THESE PHOTOS, THE VEHICLES, THE STREET WIDTHS, THE HOUSES, THESE AND THE SPACING IN BETWEEN THE HOUSES ARE ALL ACCURATE.
AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IS ADDED KIND OF A MAXIMUM SIZE HOME ON THE LOTS TO SHOW WORST CASE SCENARIO.
AND SO WE'VE ADDED THESE INTERNAL VIEWING SLIDES SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT THE PROPORTION WILL BE.
THAT'S A HALF TON PICKUP TRUCK.
THAT'S A SEDAN. THOSE ARE EXACTLY TO SCALE.
HERE'S A COUPLE OTHER INTERNAL VIEWS.
YOU GET TO SEE THE WHOLE WIDTH OF THAT GREEN SPACE.
[00:20:01]
THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 6400FT ON THE TOP RENDERING THERE.AND THAT IS A VIEW FROM IF YOUR BACK WAS TO LINDA LOOKING TOWARDS THE FIRE STATION IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE ON THAT TOP SLIDE AND THAT'S TEN FEET BETWEEN EACH HOUSE.
I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO ME.
THAT'S OUR PROPOSAL FOR DOVE STATION.
I'LL STAND BY FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FAVORABLE VOTE.
THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR MR. MIKUS. ON THE INTERNAL ROAD.
IS IT ONE WAY AROUND THAT YOUR GREEN SPACE OR IS IT TWO WAY BOTH WAYS? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
IT IS ACTUALLY TWO WAY, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE PATTERN OF TRAFFIC WILL STAY TO THE RIGHT.
AND THAT'S WHY I LIKED THAT ONE SLIDE WITH THE CARS ON IT, BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU THAT SPATIAL AWARENESS OF HOW MUCH SPACE WE ACTUALLY HAVE IN BETWEEN THE CARS.
SO IT IS TWO WAY, BUT I DO THINK THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WILL STAY TO THE RIGHT.
AND YOU TALKED ABOUT NO WINDOWS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
YES, MA'AM. BUT NOWHERE IN THE INFORMATION, THE DRAWINGS OR ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE STATES THAT I MEAN, ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT THAT INTO. I AM.
I WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT THAT INTO MY REQUEST WITH THE ADJACENT PAIR.
LINDA NEIGHBORS JUST SO LIKE ONE THROUGH TEN, I DON'T THINK THE FIREFIGHTERS WILL HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT CERTAINLY I WOULD WANT TO BE OKAY, PUT THAT IN FOR, I BELIEVE, ONE THROUGH TEN.
AND SOMETHING I ALSO WANTED TO SAY WAS OUR INITIAL PLAN.
AND WHAT WE DID WAS PUT TEN HOMES BACKING UP TO 11 IN PERRY, LINDA.
SO THERE IS A SMALLER ZONING REQUEST, BUT I WANTED TO PUT A SMALLER AMOUNT OF HOMES, A LESSER AMOUNT OF HOMES BACKING UP TO THE PERRY LINDA NEIGHBORS. QUESTIONS.
REAL QUICK, WHAT WAS THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOT ON THE HOUSE AGAIN, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY SAID IT AND I'M LOOKING FOR IT IN MY EYES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SEE ON THE HOUSES THAT WE WOULD BUILD. YES, CORRECT.
I COULD ALSO SEE A YOUNG FAMILY WANTING TO BUILD 30 600FT².
YOU KNOW, I THINK 2100 WOULD BE POSSIBLE.
AND HAVE YOU PLAYED WITH THE CUL DE SAC AT ALL TO, LIKE SQUEEZE DOWN SOME OF THE CONCRETE AND MAYBE GET THAT GREEN SPACE BACK IN THE LOT? I KNOW THAT DOWN THERE TOWARDS THE END, YOU'VE GOT THE 50 FOOT FRONTS OR WHATEVER WE DID.
I THINK WE COULD GET THE SMALLER STREET SECTION.
AND SO THAT'S WHY THE STREETS ARE A LITTLE BIT WIDER.
YEAH. SO I'M PROBABLY NOT BEING VERY CLEAR.
I'M THINKING LIKE GETTING RID OF THE MIDDLE GREEN SPACE AND PUTTING THAT GREEN SPACE BACK ON THE LOTS AND DO A SINGLE LANE UP IN THERE WITH A REGULAR CUL DE SAC KIND OF IS WHAT I WAS GOING TOWARDS.
WE'VE HAD A CUT THROUGH PLAN AND WE'VE PLAYED WITH IT ALL DIFFERENT SORTS OF WAYS AND WE'VE KIND OF LANDED ON THIS BEING OUR FAVORITE IS WHAT WE'RE BRINGING WITH AND THE HIGHEST, AND BEST FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.
SO WE'VE DRAWN IT ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
AND I'VE KIND OF MENTALLY CHECKED OUT ON THE OTHER ONES BECAUSE WE DO BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST.
I BELIEVE IT'S THE BEST AS WELL.
THE QUESTION. NO OTHER QUESTION.
PRINZE'S FINISHED. Y'ALL ARE THROUGH.
YES, SIR. QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.
THE RENDERING THAT YOU HAVE HERE IS ESTHETICALLY THAT PRETTY MUCH WHAT YOU THINK THE HOUSES WILL LOOK LIKE? I MEAN, THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF THE SAME BUILDING MATERIALS.
BUT I KNOW YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT USING A LOT OF DIFFERENT VARIETY.
[00:25:07]
BIT MORE TRADITIONAL.WE'LL BE BUILDING ALL OF THESE HOMES.
AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE PURELY OFF OF THE HOMEOWNER AND THE CLIENT THAT IS DESIGNING IT.
SO WE MIGHT HAVE SOME WHITE AUSTIN STONE MIXED WITH SOME RED BRICK AND WHITE WINDOWS.
AND THEN WE MIGHT HAVE SOMEBODY THAT IS MAYBE INTO THAT GRAY MOTIF AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO WE'RE NOT LIMITING THE COLORS TO THIS IS COUNCILWOMAN O'DELL.
THIS IS MAINLY FOR SPACING AND I DO KNOW ALL THE COLORS LOOK THE SAME, BUT THIS IS NOT ACCURATE ON COLORS 100%.
I CAN SEE SOMEBODY BUILDING A HOUSE SIMILAR TO THIS, BUT WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF VARIATION FROM THE ARTICULATION OF THE HOMES TO WITH THE PAD SIZES AND FROM COLORS AND EXTERIOR MATERIALS THAT WE'RE USING.
WITH 19 HOMES, THERE WON'T BE ONE ONE HOUSE THAT'S THE SAME AS THE OTHER IN THIS WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S GOOD. WELL, I LIKE THE GREEN SPACE THAT LOOKS GOOD.
AND BACK TO JUST TO CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE WINDOWS FACING THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
YES. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A CONCERN WE GET ALL OVER TOWN, NOT JUST HERE.
SO IN YOUR DESIGN PROCESS, THE FOLKS THAT COME IN AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE ONE OF YOUR HOMES, THEY WILL KNOW THAT THE WINDOW THERE WILL NOT BE WINDOWS ON THE BACK FACING THE NEIGHBORS.
SO THAT CONCERN WILL BE ALLEVIATED.
NOW, ON THE OTHER PARTS, THAT WON'T MATTER AS MUCH, BUT YOU WILL BE ASSURING THE NEIGHBORS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY LOOKING DOWN IN THEIR HOUSE IN A SECOND STORY WINDOW. YES, MA'AM.
AND IT WAS IN STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
IT JUST WASN'T IN MIND. THERE WAS SOME REAR ELEVATION CONCEPTS THAT WENT KIND OF FAST.
BUT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN PLANNING TO OMIT THE WINDOWS.
BACKING UP TO PERRY LINDA ON THE ON ANY SECOND FLOOR HOUSES.
WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE? YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED ABOUT A PRETTY WIDE RANGE OF SQUARE FOOTAGE IS FROM A ONE STORY ABOUT 2100 UP TO A TWO STORY THAT GETS UP 3600 OR SO MORE.
WHAT KIND OF BALANCE OR WHAT KIND OF MIX WOULD YOU REALLY ANTICIPATE? I MEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO KIND OF BUILD WHATEVER PEOPLE WANT, BUT JUST GIVEN THE MARKETPLACE, YOU KNOW, YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARKETPLACE, THE AREA.
SURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE END UP WITH IN TERMS OF A MIX OF PROPERTIES HERE? WITH MODERN DESIGNS.
AND THIS IS PART OF ONE OF THE DEVIATIONS IS 1400 SQUARE FEET DOWNSTAIRS.
BUT PEOPLE WANT BIGGER SPACES AND THEY WANT A LARGE PANTRY, A WALK IN PANTRY.
THEY WANT A LARGE UTILITY ROOM.
AND I THINK ON AVERAGE THAT WE'LL HAVE THAT 2100 SQUARE FOOT DOWN.
I THINK WE WILL MAX OUT OUR BOTTOM FLOOR.
I CAN SEE HAVING MAYBE JUST A BONUS AREA UPSTAIRS THAT'S MAYBE A MEDIA ROOM OR A BATHROOM, A BEDROOM AND AN OPEN SPACE FOR AN UPSTAIRS LIVING ROOM, KIND OF LIKE A IN A NOT AN APARTMENT, BUT THEIR OWN SPACE UPSTAIRS.
SO I CAN SEE THAT HOME BEING I CAN SEE THAT BEING A 2400 SQUARE FOOT HOME.
BUT ON AVERAGE, I THINK 28 TO 3200FT² IS A IS A FAIR 400 SQUARE FOOT RANGE OF WHAT THE AVERAGE WILL BE WHEN A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS WOULD BE COMPLETELY DONE IS BETTER THAN A GUESS.
BUT I WOULD KIND OF BE CONFIDENT TELLING YOU THAT.
MISTER MAX, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
WOULD YOU BE ABLE AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO STIPULATE THAT TO THAT AS PART OF THE ZONING CASE IF IT WERE TO PASS? YES, MA'AM. OKAY.
SO THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT ISSUE.
AND YOU MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HOUSE STYLE.
ARE ANY OF THESE FORGIVE ME FOR HAVING TO ASK, BUT I'VE GOT TO WILL THESE LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE HOUSE DESIGNS OVER IN TILLERY COMMONS? NO, MA'AM. OKAY.
THANK YOU. AND I'M GLAD YOUR ARCHITECT IS HERE TO HEAR THAT WE ARE A VERY TRADITIONAL CITY HERE.
AND SO THE COLORS AND THE STYLES WE LOOK FAVORABLY ON, ON THOSE WITH A GOOD DEAL OF INTENSITY.
I PRESUME YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US THAT WE WON'T BE COLORS MUCH LIKE MEOW WOLF.
[00:30:02]
NO. OKAY.NO, MA'AM. WE DO MAINTAIN OUR ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL IN HOUSE UNTIL THE LAST HOME IS BUILT SO WE MAINTAIN ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL 100% OF THE TIME UNTIL YOU HAVE A PURCHASER SITTING ACROSS THE TABLE FROM YOU.
YES, MA'AM. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.
OKAY. THE YOU'RE ASKING FOR A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN THIS MANY IN A LONG TIME.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU HAVE REQUESTED 6 OR 7.
SO CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHY YOU FEEL THAT THIS PROPERTY IS BETTER SUITED FOR OUR FIVE ZERO WHEN IT IS A VACANT PIECE OF PROPERTY, IT IS FLAT AND YOU COULD BUILD OUR SEVEN FIVE HOMES AS A MATTER OF RIGHT AND MEET ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THAT ORDINANCE.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO US, PLEASE? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU.
ON THIS ARE FIVE ZONING REQUEST WITH THE DEVIATIONS IT HAS TO BE IN THE CHART PER THE ORDINANCE.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE ARGUMENTATIVE.
I FEEL LIKE I COULD WHITTLE THAT DOWN TO ABOUT FOUR.
BUT LET'S SAY THERE'S SIX BECAUSE THE SIDE SETBACKS ARE RELATED TO THE 12 AND THE TEN.
AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT FOUR OF THEM.
SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR FRONT, YOUR REAR, YOUR SIDE SETBACK AND THEN THE 92FT ON THE FRONT.
THIS TO ME FITS TRANSITIONAL ZONING.
WE'VE GOT OUR SEVEN FIVE AND PARA LINDA, WHICH IS A GREAT COMMUNITY.
WE ARE ADJACENT TO THE FIRE STATION.
WE HAVE A PLAN THAT ALLOWS FOR FAMILIES.
WE HAVE A PLAN THAT ALLOWS FOR EMPTY NESTERS.
BUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE OTHER THINGS TO WORRY THEMSELVES ABOUT, WHETHER IT BE HEALTH CONCERNS, WHETHER IT BE CHILDREN AND A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES, WHETHER IT BE A TRAVEL SCHEDULE, ALL SORTS OF VARIOUS REASONS.
FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S EAST OF THIS THAT WE DID.
WE STARTED ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO WHERE KIND OF A PROOF OF CONCEPT WAS ORIGINATED WITH SIMILAR SIMILAR FEATURES FROM SETBACKS.
ARCHITECTURALLY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT I WISH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN INSTEAD OF 44, I WISH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN 144 BECAUSE THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE WANTING THAT R5, THAT R5 ZONING, AND I THINK GRAPEVINE IS AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND SEEING THE NEED FOR KIND OF A CONSERVATIVE LIFESTYLE WHERE YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE A HUGE YARD, REALLY.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE NICE OR A LOT OF TIMES YOU CAN NOW PUT MORE MONEY INTO YOUR FENCING AND YOUR UPKEEP OF YOUR FENCING AND YOUR YARD AND YOUR UPKEEP OF YOUR YARD. IT'S JUST TO ME, A NICER FINISHED PRODUCT, ESPECIALLY AS THIS THING AGES DOWN THE ROAD.
THESE HOMES, THE PRICES OF THESE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE MAINTAINED FOR A LONG TIME.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M REQUESTING THE R5 IS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT.
WE'VE GOT A PROOF OF CONCEPT IN TOWN.
THAT TO ME IS MY FAVORITE THING WE'VE EVER DONE AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMING WITH THE R5.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO BUILD A QUALITY PRODUCT AND YOU HAVE TO BUILD A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND YOU'RE NOT SOME OUT OF TOWN PERSON COMING IN AND BUILDING HERE.
SO I THINK THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
AND I KNOW YOU'RE PROUD OF WHAT YOU DO AND THAT SHOWS.
I'M SORRY, WHAT DID I SAY? YOU SAID TOM. OH, I APOLOGIZE.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PLANS FOR THAT FENCING? SO I'VE SPOKE.
LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET A VIEW OF IT SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT.
[00:35:03]
I THINK THAT ONE JUST SHOWS IT RIGHT THERE.I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SOME NEIGHBORS AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS LEAVE THE FENCE AS IS.
OBVIOUSLY, IF IT'S FALLING APART IN A SECTION OR IF IT NEEDS REPAIR.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE TRYING TO SELL HOMES WITH THAT FENCE IN OUR BACKYARD, TOO.
SO WE'D LIKE TO LEAVE THINGS AS IS IN THE LOCATIONS OF THEM.
AND IT CERTAINLY IS STURDY AND IT WILL PROVIDE A NICE BUFFER BETWEEN US AND PERRY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, SIR. APPARENTLY NOT.
YES, SIR. DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? YES, SIR. I HAVE SEVERAL.
DEBBIE AND MIKE MEEK, 1025 BROWNSTONE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
MY NAME IS DEBBIE MEEK, 1025 BROWNSTONE DRIVE, AND I WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT TONIGHT.
I THINK WE'VE SEEN FROM WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED HERE THE QUALITY AND THE PREPARATION THAT HAS BEEN PUT, THE THOUGHT AND EVERYTHING INTO THIS TO MAKE THIS A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO OUR GRAPEVINE COMMUNITY MAKERS HOMES HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY HERE IN GRAPEVINE AND AS WE KNOW, THEY DO QUALITY.
EVERYTHING IS JUST QUALITY AND IT'S DONE VERY WELL.
AND SO TONIGHT I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE OUR DECISION THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.
BRANDON DURACK 891 MEADOW BEND LOOP.
KYLE CROW 976 MEADOW BEND LOOP.
GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. KYLE CROW FROM 976 MEADOW BEND LOOP, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS SHADY BROOK.
SO MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO MAKE HIS PROPERTY COMING UP ON TWO YEARS AGO AND WE'VE REALLY ENJOYED IT.
AND TO HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY.
NEXT. JESSICA SCHREIBER 976 MEADOW BEND LOOP SOUTH.
MICHAEL BRAND 2002 HARWELL STREET.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BRAND.
MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED AT 2002 HARWELL STREET SINCE 1992.
MY PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY ACROSS DOVE ROAD FROM THE CURRENT CARROLL ISD ANNEX BUILDING.
IT IS CURRENTLY A SITE WHERE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS TRAIN, AND THE LARGE PARKING LOT IS WHERE PARENTS BRING THEIR KIDS TO LEARN TO RIDE BICYCLES AND WHERE THEIR TEENAGERS LEARN TO DRIVE CARS.
MY OBJECTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY ARE DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION NOISE, CONSTRUCTION, TRASH AND CONSTRUCTION AND RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC THAT WILL OCCUR IF THIS PROPERTY IS REZONED TO ALLOW THESE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE 19 RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
[00:40:07]
TWO. THERE ARE TWO SCHOOL BUS STOPS IN THIS AREA ON DOVE ROAD, AND THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC IS LIKELY TO AFFECT THEM AS WELL.I REMEMBER WHEN THIS LOCATION USED TO BE THE FOOD LION GROCERY STORE, AND SINCE THE PREVAILING WIND IS OUT OF THE SOUTH, MY PROPERTY AND MY NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY WERE CONTINUALLY LITTERED WITH TRASH BLOWN ACROSS THE ROAD AND ONTO OUR PROPERTIES.
AND SINCE FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO IS AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY, THE DEBRIS WHICH COMES FROM THE SITE'S DEVELOPMENT, COULD INTERFERE WITH STATION OPERATION AND COMMUNICATION LINES ARE LIKELY TO BE CUT OR OTHERWISE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
THIS OCCURS EVEN DURING THE MOST CAREFUL CONSTRUCTION EFFORTS.
GIVEN THESE CONCERNS, I ASK YOU TO PLEASE DENY THIS ZONING REQUEST.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU TODAY.
SO MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED IN THE PEARLAND NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 35 YEARS.
WE'VE SEEN TREMENDOUS CHANGE IN THAT AREA.
WE'RE A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED HERE.
THAT WOULD BE REALLY DISTURBING.
I'M GLAD THAT YOU HAVE REQUESTED THAT BE PUT IN WRITING.
I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING THE EXISTING FENCE.
HE INDICATED THAT HE'S HOPING TO SAVE THAT FENCE, PROBABLY IMPROVE IT.
MY CONCERN WITH THE EXISTING FENCE IS THAT IN THE PROPOSAL THAT HE HAD INDICATED THAT IF THEY NEEDED TO ACCESS THE ELECTRICAL LINES FOR EASEMENT PURPOSES, THAT THEY WOULD TEAR DOWN THE FENCE. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF REBUILDING THE FENCE OR ANY IMPROVEMENTS.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A NUMBER OF PETS IN OUR BACKYARD.
AND MY CONCERN WOULD BE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? WHAT TYPE OF NOTICES WOULD WE RECEIVE IN ADVANCE, IF AT ALL? AND, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE NEEDING TO DIG IN OUR BACKYARD TO BUILD THESE HOMES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. THE EASEMENT IS IN OUR BACKYARD CURRENTLY.
APPARENTLY WHEN THEY BUILD THE FOOD LION, IT CREATED FLOODING AND SOME NEIGHBOR AREAS I BELIEVE BEHIND WHERE I THINK HOUSES THREE, FOUR, POSSIBLY TWO ARE LOCATED.
I WOULD BE RIGHT BEHIND FIVE AND SIX.
SO THOSE ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS.
IF THEY CAN PUT IN WRITING THAT IF THEY DO NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES THAT REQUIRE MOVING INTO OUR LAWN FOR WHATEVER REASON, FOR TO ACCESS ELECTRICAL LINES OR WHATEVER, THAT OUR HOUSES BE RESTORED, THAT IT BE IN WRITING, THAT THE HOUSES WILL BE RESTORED.
AND IF THEY HAVE TO TEAR DOWN THE FENCE FOR WHATEVER REASON, THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REBUILDING THE FENCE OF EQUAL VALUE. OKAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
ROGER MAYHEW 3034, PANHANDLE DRIVE.
WOULD JUST SAY THANK YOU MUCH.
MRS. ROGER MAYHEW AT 3034 PANHANDLE DRIVE.
HOWEVER, I AGREE WITH MY NEIGHBOR THAT JUST SPOKE THAT THE FENCE IS A MAJOR THING, THAT WE ALL ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE THE EASEMENT THAT THEY HAD FROM LEFT TO RIGHT COMING OFF OF KIMBALL WAS AT LEAST A GOOD 4 OR 5 YARDS FOR THE HEAD TRUCKS.
[00:45:05]
SO WE WERE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THAT FENCE AND IT IS FALLING DOWN IN SOME PLACES.SO WE DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE GOING TO REBUILD IT OR FIX IT UP WHAT THEY COULD.
ALL RIGHT. I'D LIKE TO ASK THE STAFF THAT'S BEEN A QUESTION.
IS THERE AN EASEMENT BACK THERE? THAT'S NOT A UTILITY EASEMENT.
WELL, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE'RE THIEVES IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ABRAHAM.
WHEN THEY FIRST BUILT THAT AREA COMING IN OFF OF KIMBALL, YOU COULD DRIVE A TRUCK, A GOOD SIZED TRUCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT FENCE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DOVE.
WELL, THEY KIND OF SLACKED OFF ON DOING WORK FOR OUR ELECTRIC AND DIFFERENT THINGS, SO EVERYBODY MADE THEIR YARDS A LITTLE LONGER.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, AND WE HAVE GOT TO A POINT WHERE NOW ALL I'VE GOT IS TREES, BUT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE POOLS AND AND BIG BUILDINGS THAT THEY'VE BUILT BACK THERE.
AND SO WE'VE ALL BEEN ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN TALKING TO ME ABOUT IT.
I SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BITE THE BULLET.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IT WOULD HELP US IF WE COULD KEEP IT LIKE IT IS NOW IN OUR YARDS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A REALLY GOOD SURVEYOR.
I'D LIKE TO ASK THE STAFF THIS.
THIS PROJECT DOESN'T AFFECT THAT EASEMENT AT ALL, DOES IT? IT'S A NIGHTMARE.
CAN YOU TELL WHERE THE FENCE IS? IS IT IN THE EASEMENT OR IS IT ON THE PROPERTY EASEMENT? IT'S IN THE EASEMENT. IT'S AMUSEMENT, YES.
SO IS THE FIVE FOOT PART OF THEIR LOTS THAT'S IN THAT EASEMENT OR IS THAT FIVE FEET PAST IT? IT'S WITHIN THEIR LOTS.
SO YOU THINK THE FENCE IS IN THE.
LINDA PROPERTY OWNERS LOTS, THE EXISTING FENCE? NOT SURE WE HAVE THAT ON THE SURVEY.
I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU HAVE THAT ON YOUR PROPERTY? THEY SHOW THE EXISTING FENCE ON THE LINE.
YES. WELL, IT DEPENDS WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND.
THAT'S MY QUESTION. NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS OUR LOT. IT IS WITHIN OUR I GUESS.
HAVE YOU HAD THE PROPERTY, YOUR TRACT SURVEYED YET? THE FENCE RIGHT THERE. OKAY.
YEAH. ACCORDING TO THIS DOCUMENT HERE RIGHT NOW, THE FENCE RUNS VERY CLOSELY TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
BUT THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT THAT ALSO RUNS ALONG THERE.
BUT IS THE EASEMENT IN THE MAKERS DEVELOPMENT REQUEST OR IS THE EASEMENT ACTUALLY IN THESE? THERE'S AN EXISTING EASEMENT ON PARA LINDA.
SO IT'S ON PARA LINDA PROPERTY? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.
THANK YOU. AND THE FENCE IS THE PROPERTY OF THE PARA LINDA HOMEOWNERS AND NOT MR. MAKER'S PROPERTY.
THAT WILL HAVE TO BE. WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET, BUT IT'S BEEN SURVEYED.
IT HAS BEEN SURVEYED AND THE FENCE IN VARIOUS SPOTS.
IT'S NOT EVEN IT'S NOT A PROPORTIONATE TWO FEET ON US THE WHOLE WAY.
BUT THE FENCE IS THE FENCE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THE MASONRY PANELED FENCE IS ON THE OUR PROPERTY.
OKAY. AND SO IDEALLY, LEAVING IT AS IS NOT DISTURBING THE SHEDS, THE TREES THAT MR. ROGER HAD HAD MENTIONED WOULD BE.
DESIRE UNLESS THERE'S A FENCE THAT'S COLLAPSING OR SOMETHING.
CORRECT. AND I'M NOT SURE IF I TALKED TO MRS. CRANE'S HUSBAND YESTERDAY, BUT SHE IS CORRECT THAT THERE IS A TIE IN FOR OUR STORMWATER IN BETWEEN HER LOT AND THE ADJACENT LOT.
[00:50:06]
SO I THINK THAT'S MRS. CRANE'S HUSBAND. AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM IF WE DID ANY WORK, ANY WORK THAT WE HAD TO GO INTO THEIR BACKYARD, THAT WE WOULD REPLACE IT BETTER THAN BETTER THAN IT IS CURRENTLY. AND THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL TIE IN WITH SOME STORMWATER.BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE ALL THAT AS IS AND ALONE.
SO YOU WON'T NEED ANY OF THEIR EASEMENT AREA FOR THE THE EASEMENT FOR YOUR UTILITIES.
YOU WON'T NEED TO ENTER THEIR SIDE.
WELL, THE UTILITY, YOU CAN'T ASK FROM THERE THE UTILITIES TO SERVE THESE PROPOSED LOTS BE LAID WITHIN THE EASEMENT ON THESE LOTS OR WILL BE THEY SERVED FROM AN EASEMENT ON THE ADJOINING PROPERTY.
NO, THERE WILL BE. THERE IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
YOU'RE ASKING FOR A DEVIATION IN THE SETBACK.
IS THE FIVE FEET INCLUDED IN THAT OR IS IT THE FIVE FEET? I'M GOING TO HAVE MY CIVIL ENGINEER COME UP HERE AND ADDRESS THIS, AND I THINK HE'S THE CIVIL ENGINEER.
ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SEE WHAT MR. MAY HE HAS NO THE IN ABOUT 5 OR 6 YEARS AGO THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT DRAINAGE BECAUSE I'M ON PANHANDLE.
AND WHEN WE HAD OUR FLOOD, IT WAS UP TO HERE ON ME ON THE STREET.
AND SO THE QUESTION CAME UP ABOUT DRAINAGE.
WE HAD A DRAIN FOR SQUARE DRAIN DITCH COMING BETWEEN MY HOUSE AND HOUSE NUMBER FIVE AND HOUSE NUMBER FOUR. AND THE QUESTION WAS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT AN EIGHT FOOT CULVERT DOWN THROUGH THE HOUSES.
SO I DON'T THINK YOU'LL HAVE A DRAINAGE OF ANY KIND OF FLOODING IN THOSE HOUSES.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, SIR.
YOU DON'T GO TOO FAR IN CASE WE NEED YOU AGAIN.
GOOD EVENING, KEITH HAMILTON I'M AT 421 EAST TEXAS STREET GRAPEVINE I'M THE CONSULTING ENGINEER FOR MARCUS IN REGARD TO THE REAR YARDS, OUR SIDE.
THE CURRENT MASONRY FENCE, IT'S BEEN SURVEYED.
OKAY. IT VARIES, BUT IT'S ON US.
BUT THE INTENT IS NOT TO GET ON THEIR SIDE.
I THINK WITH STORM DRAIN, I REALLY DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OVER THERE.
AND WITH SEWER, I REALLY DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OVER THERE EITHER.
ALL OF OUR UTILITIES ARE GOING TO BE ON OUR SIDE.
SO ALL OF OUR WATER WILL BE CONTAINED.
OKAY. THIS IS TO YOU, SIR, AND TO MR. MISTER MARCUS.
AND SO OUR PROCEDURES HERE IN GRAPEVINE, WHENEVER WE HAVE A CITY PROJECT AND THIS WOULD EXTEND TO YOU, I THINK AS WELL, WHEN WE HAVE TO DO SOME WORK ON A RESIDENT'S PROPERTY, WE NOTIFY THEM AHEAD OF TIME.
DO YOU COMMIT THAT YOU WILL ADHERE TO THAT SAME PROCESS? YES, MA'AM, ABSOLUTELY.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND YOU TOO, SIR.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK? YES, SIR. I HAVE ONE MORE.
LAURA DEVENDORF, 2826, LONGHORN TRAIL.
GOOD EVENING. I HAVE LIVED AT MY ADDRESS FOR 1986.
I RAISED MY BOYS THERE AND I'M RAISING A GRANDCHILD THERE.
AND I SAY FOOD LINE IS A NIGHTMARE.
AND YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF IT, BUT PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY ON TOP OF THE BUILDING, GOING INSIDE THE BUILDING AND DOING ALL KINDS OF DESTRUCTIVE THINGS, WHICH IS VERY NERVE WRACKING WITH CARS RACING AROUND POLES IN A PARKING LOT.
SO I'M SAYING THAT RESIDENTIAL.
I'M SORRY. THEIR MEAT WAS BAD AND IT PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S GONE AND IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE.
[00:55:03]
I HAVE SOME BULBS AND TREES NOW THAT I'VE PLANTED BECAUSE I LOST TREES THAT WERE HUMONGOUS THROUGH A STORM IN 2017 THAT TOOK THEM DOWN RIGHT TOWARD MY HOUSE.BUT I PLANTED OAKS IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.
I TOOK MY FENCE DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
IT WAS RAGGED WEEDS GROWING TALLER THAN THE CONCRETE FENCE JOHNSON GRASS.
SO I TOOK IT DOWN ONLY FOR THOSE REASONS.
BUT I'VE GOT THINGS IN THERE THAT SOME OF THEM ARE 100 YEAR OLD BULBS THAT WERE MY FAMILY.
AND SO IF THAT HAS TO HAPPEN, IF I WERE TO DIG THEM UP NOW, I'D LOSE EVERY ONE OF THEM.
AND THOSE ARE SWEET MEMORIES FOR ME.
I'M HERE TONIGHT. MY HUSBAND IS SUFFERING FROM STAGE FOUR CANCER AND TERMINAL, AND I CAME HERE BECAUSE A LOT OF MY HOMEOWNERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE VERY SCARED OF ALL OF THIS.
IT'S YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T GET ANY KIND OF NOTICE FROM YOU GUYS.
AND I'M SAYING THIS SO THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE.
BUT ONE LITTLE SIGN THAT'S NO BIGGER THAN A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN TO PUT OUT THERE ON DOVE ROAD, WHEN YOU HAVE TO WATCH KIDS AND WHATEVER, YOU CAN'T SEE THAT ALL OF THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO WE DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU SENT US A NOTICE IN THE MAIL, BUT I DIDN'T GET MINE TILL THE 12TH.
AND SO IT WAS REALLY KIND OF NERVE WRACKING.
SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T GET ONE AT ALL, YOU KNOW, AND SO I GOT OUT AND MADE SOME LITTLE SIGNS BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY DID KNOW WE LOVE GRAPEVINE AND I THINK EVERY ONE OF US HERE LOVE GRAPEVINE AND I THINK ALL OF US HAVE TRIED TO BE REALLY GOOD CITIZENS AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE CITY.
I WORKED AT DFW AIRPORT FOR TEN YEARS.
I SOLD THIS TOWN TO EVERY COMPANY, MAJOR CORPORATION THAT WAS COMING IN HERE.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE KIDS.
AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL TONIGHT.
LIKE I SAID, I'M ALL ABOUT HOUSES.
WE GOT A RED HEADED WOODPECKER THAT'S LIVING IN A TREE THAT GOT TORN DOWN BY THE STORM.
BUT IT'S PART OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP.
BUT THE FENCE WAS THE BIGGEST CONCERN AND I'M GLAD SOMEBODY BROUGHT THAT UP.
THEY'RE NOT USING THEIR PATHS THAT THEY HAVE.
AND THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO MEAN PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP, YOU KNOW, TO LET THEM OUT.
AND IF THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ENTRANCE ON THAT SIDE, WE MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK AT A POSSIBILITY OF A RED LIGHT INSTEAD OF THAT FOUR SUBWAY STOP SIGN UP THERE BECAUSE IT COULD BE DANGEROUS.
AND THAT'S. KIMBALL AND, YOU KNOW.
I THANK YOU ALL. AND YOU'RE DOING GREAT WORK FOR OUR CITY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE? CORRESPONDENCE? YES, SIR.
THERE ARE 17 LETTERS IN SUPPORT AND EIGHT LETTERS IN PROTEST IN FRONT OF YOU.
YOU CAN BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY, A SINGLE STORY.
NEARLY ALL HOUSES BUILT IN GRAPEVINE NOW ARE TWO STORY FOR SOME REASON.
BUT THAT'S NOT BEFORE THE COUNCIL TONIGHT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY JURISDICTION.
THEIR SINGLE FAMILY IS A SUITABLE USE THERE AND THEY ARE SOME WAIVERS REQUESTED THAT ARE MATERIAL THAT THE COUNCIL PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION HAVE CONSIDERATION OF.
ALL RIGHT. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? NO MAYOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYBODY'S PARTICIPATION.
MR. CHAIRMAN, A MOTION IS WAITING.
A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COMMISSION CLOSED A MOTION FROM THE COUNCIL.
[5. Historic Landmark Subdistrict HL23-01 (404 East Franklin Street) – City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to an application submitted by David and Gloria Ewbank requesting designation as a Historical Landmark sub-district. The subject property is currently zoned “R-7.5”, Single-Family Residential District.]
STREET. ERICA.[01:00:07]
DISTRICT. THE OWNERS, DAVID AND GLORIA EUBANK, HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY AND ALSO THE HISTORIC LANDMARK SUB DISTRICT DESIGNATION THAT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AT THEIR MEETING ON JULY 28TH, 2023.THIS PROPERTY, AS MENTIONED, IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND IT IS IN A MINIMAL TRADITIONAL STYLE.
AND IT WAS BUILT BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1947 AND 48 BY L.G.
SHASTEEN. THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
MR. DAVID CLAMPIN, OUR CITY'S TOWNSHIP RESTORATION COORDINATOR AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER, IS HERE THIS EVENING AND ANSWER TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSION AND COUNCIL MAY HAVE TO THE REQUEST.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLINTON? DAVID, GOOD QUESTIONS HERE.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? NO, YOUR HONOR. DO WE HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE? NO, SIR. ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN, WE NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CLOSED. ALL IN FAVOR? YOU SHOULD HAVE COME UP TO THE CLOSED COMMISSION.
VOTED TO CLOSE A MOTION FROM THE COUNCIL, MOVE TO CLOSE SECOND.
MOTION CARRIES. THAT COMPLETES THE JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS BETWEEN THE COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL.
THE COMMISSION WILL NOW, AS I SAID EARLIER, MOVE TO THE CONFERENCE ROOM, TO THE RIGHT.
THAT WILL BE A PUBLIC MEETING.
THE COUNCIL WILL REMAIN IN SESSION HERE AND WE'LL BEGIN WITH CITIZEN COMMENT.
YEAH. I MEAN, AT LEAST STARTED TO GET.
I MEAN. IT WOULD LOOK GOOD, YOU KNOW? THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BECAUSE I'M THINKING THIS PLAT.
WHAT? WE WANT TO PUT THE MONEY.
OKAY. THERE'S NOT A LOT I DO TO MAKE COMMENTS, SO I WILL CALL YOU, BUT SEEMS LIKE.
OKAY. I DO UNDERSTAND THE TRANSITIONAL ARGUMENT THAT HE'S MAKING IS FAIR, RIGHT? THE LAST ITEM. SO IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW.
WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK, I THINK, OR SOMETHING.
FOUR PEOPLE WANT TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT VACATION.
THEY WANT TO SPEAK. THEY WANT TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THAT ITEM.
YES, SIR. YEAH, WELL, THEY CAN SPEAK ON ANY ITEM EITHER ON THE AGENDA OR NOT.
YOU WANT TO DO IT DURING CITIZEN COMMENTS? WE'LL JUST TAKE THEM ON CITIZEN COMMENTS.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM IS CITIZEN COMMENTS.
[CITIZEN COMMENTS]
ANY PERSON WHO'S NOT SCHEDULED ON THE AGENDA MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL UNDER CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY OTHER AGENDA ITEM BY COMPLETING A CITIZEN APPEARANCE REQUEST FORM OF THE CITY SECRETARY.A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS THE COUNCIL REGARDING AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA, EITHER BEFORE OR DURING THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF THE ITEM UPON BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE MAYOR OR THE CONSENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE CITY COUNCIL IS RESTRICTED AND DISCUSSING OR TAKING ACTION DURING CITIZEN COMMENTS.
DO WE HAVE ANY REQUESTS TONIGHT? YES, SIR. THE FIRST IS JOHN EDELMAN, 2713 PENINSULA DRIVE.
I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS, BUT I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT AN ITEM THAT WAS JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT SHOWED UP BOTH ON THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE P AND Z AGENDA.
UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA WAS P AND Z.
[01:05:02]
AND ON THE CITY COUNCIL 29 ON THE P AND Z, ITEM 15 SAID VACATION OF FINAL PLAT FOR LOTS R ONE, R AND TWO R BLOCK SIX PLACID PENINSULA SECOND EDITION.THIS PROPERTY WAS MOST RECENTLY PLATTED INTO A SINGLE LOT AND I WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF IT AND PRIOR TO THE SALE I PLACED A DEED RESTRICTION ON THE LOT SAYING THAT ONLY A SINGLE RESIDENCE COULD BUILD, WHETHER IT BE ONE LOT OR TWO.
FIRST OF ALL, THE DEED RESTRICTION REMAINS IN EFFECT.
THE DEED RESTRICTION SUPERSEDES, YOU KNOW, ALL OTHER ISSUES.
SO TO TAKE IT TO BACK TO TWO LOTS WOULD BE AN INTENTION OF BUILDING TWO HOUSES.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS, BUT WE'RE I HAVE MULTIPLE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE HERE ALSO SPEAK.
WE'RE IN OPPOSE TO TAKING THIS BACK TO TWO LOTS.
AND THIS LOT ALSO HAS SIGNIFICANT TOPOGRAPHY TO IT.
PUT IN TWO LOTS WOULD AFFECT DRAINAGE ON NEIGHBORING LOTS.
SO THERE'S MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT WE FEEL WOULD BE NEGATIVE TO TAKING THIS BACK TO TWO LOTS, LEAVING IT AS ONE WAS AS WAS DONE UNDER A PLAT BACK IN 2022. WE'RE RECOMMENDING IT STAYS THAT WAY AND NOT BRING IT BACK INTO TWO LOTS.
SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF EVEN LEAVE IT AS ONE BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU CAN BUILD.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMAN AND COUNCIL PERSONS.
I LIVE AT 2721 LONE STAR LANE, AND MY STREET ENTERS INTO AN INTERSECTION OF PENINSULA, MERCURY AND LONE STAR. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE INTERSECTIONS.
WE HAVE SEEN AND A MATTER OF FACT, BRUNO, YOU'VE HEARD MY COMMENTS BEFORE, BUT WE HAVE VERY NARROW STREETS THAT USED TO BE A VERY LAKESIDE KIND OF HOUSES.
THERE'S NO SYMMETRY OF HOUSES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF SENIORS THAT WALK THE STREETS.
AND THAT PARTICULAR CORNER IS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
IT'S I THINK IT'S ABOUT EIGHT AND A THREE QUARTERS.
SO WHEN THE BUSSES COME AROUND TO PICK UP KIDS, THEY ALMOST GO IN THE DITCH.
WHEN WE HAD A MAJOR FIRE OUT THERE, ONE OF THE FIRE TRUCKS FROM LEWISVILLE WENT OVER INTO OUR DITCH.
THERE'S BIG CULVERTS, OPEN CULVERTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD.
AND THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THAT LOT IS EXTREMELY HEAVY.
IT'S A QUITE A IN THE WATER SOMETIMES GETS UP TO OUR KNEES WHEN IT COMES THROUGH THOSE DRAIN PIPES.
SO WE'RE CONCERNED FROM NOT ONLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF TREES THAT WE'RE LOSING IN THE AREA, BUT THE SAFETY OF THAT PARTICULAR THOROUGHFARE, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN I'VE CLOCKED PEOPLE GOING DOWN THAT ROAD AT 50 MILES AN HOUR ON A PENINSULA.
THERE IS CHILDREN NOW IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE OLDER PEOPLE ARE PASSING AND YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE COMING IN.
WE'VE HAD SOMETHING LIKE 15 NEW HOUSES BUILT.
WE HAVE VERY OLD INFRASTRUCTURE.
I THINK IT'S AT LEAST 25, MAYBE MORE THAN THAT, YEARS OLD.
OUR SEWER, OUR WATER, OUR ELECTRICAL, IT'S ALL VERY OLD.
AND EVERY TIME WE PUT ANOTHER HOME IN THERE, OUR FLOODING CHANGES, WE'VE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED A PETITION TO THE CITY LAST YEAR WHEN THE FIRE OCCURRED TO LOOK AT THE TO DO AN ANALYSIS AND SEE WHAT COULD BE RECOMMENDED, BECAUSE THOSE TWO STOP SIGNS ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
THERE'S REDBIRD PENINSULA AND MERCURY AND PENINSULA.
[01:10:02]
SO WHATEVER YOU ALL CAN COME UP WITH, WE'D APPRECIATE IT.WE SUPPORT YOU VOTED FOR ALL OF YOU.
SANDRA CAVANAUGH, 35, 74, MERCURY DRIVE.
I'M RATHER DISJOINTED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT THIS UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK I'D BE ABLE TO COME.
PLACID PENINSULA AND THE LAKE VIEW AREA ARE VERY SPECIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY THIS.
AND THEN SUDDENLY IT STARTED GOING BACK AND FORTH.
AND I JUST I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN.
I MEAN, WE'RE ASSURED IT'S GOING TO BE ONE HOUSE AND THEN, WHOA, WE HEAR THAT.
AND NOW WE JUST FOUND OUT THIS AFTERNOON THAT SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN TO THIS DECISION WILL AFFECT ME MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE IF IT GOES TO TWO AND THEY BUILD A HOUSE ON THAT LITTLE SKINNY LOT, IT'S GOING TO JAM RIGHT UP AGAINST MY HOUSE. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE REST OF THE POST OAK TREES.
I DON'T SEE ANY WAY THEY WOULDN'T.
THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, LIKE JANET WAS SAYING, THEY'RE JUST VERY SPECIAL.
THEY WERE YOU KNOW, THE LAKE WAS CREATED IN THE 50S.
THOSE LITTLE TWISTY ROADS WERE PUT IN AND LITTLE LAKE HOUSES WERE PUT IN.
AND IT'S KIND OF SLOWLY GREW OVER TIME.
IT'S UNLIKE ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I WANT IT TO STAY THAT WAY.
THERE'S JUST TOO MANY BIG MONSTER HOUSES GOING IN.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE? WELL, I HAVE A COMMENTS FOR MR. BOBBY RAWLS. BUT IS THIS FOR THE DOVE STATION DEVELOPMENT? BECAUSE THAT PUBLIC HEARING HAS CLOSED, BUT THEY'RE DISCUSSING IT NEXT DOOR.
NO, SIR, I DO NOT. WE'RE NOT REQUIRED.
AND DON'T GIVE NOTICE TO ANY PROPERTY OWNERS ON FLATS OR FLATS OR ABANDONMENT OF FLATS TO ME.
THAT IS CORRECT, MR. MAYOR. ALL RIGHT.
I DON'T REMEMBER THIS EVER BEING DONE.
IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING.
IT JUST REQUIRES A RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL.
THAT'S CORRECT. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY DISCRETION IF THE PROPERTY OWNER WANTS TO ABANDON THE PROPERTY PLAT? THE SHORT ANSWER, MAYOR, IS THAT THE REQUEST TO ABANDON THE PLOT IS THE FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF A PLAT APPLICATION, AND AS SUCH, YOUR STANDARD OF REVIEW IS MINISTERIAL MEANING IF THE PROPOSED REVISED PLAT REVISED BY THE ABANDONMENT COMPLIES WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, THEN THE GENERAL RULE IS IT MUST BE APPROVED.
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO TABLE THIS UNTIL WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE INTERSECTIONS.
DO WE HAVE THAT ABILITY? YOU HAVE THAT ABILITY.
THE ONLY CAVEAT TO THAT IS THAT IF IT WAS DEEMED TO BE A PLAT APPLICATION, WHICH IT IS NOT TECHNICALLY, BUT IT IS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE PLAT APPLICATION, THERE IS A 30 DAY SHOT CLOCK ON PLAT APPLICATION FROM THE DATE IT'S FILED FROM THE DAY THE APPLICATION IS FILED, SO WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE.
WELL, YEAH, WE CAN PUT IT BEFORE THE FIRST MEETING.
WHAT I'M SAYING, MR. MAYOR, IS IT'S NOT ACTUALLY A PLAT APPLICATION, BUT IT IS A PLAT ABANDONMENT.
SO WHAT ABOUT WHICH IS TECHNICALLY A SUBDIVISION? SO NOTHING ABOUT THE CITY'S PLANNING PROCESS CAN DO ANYTHING TO AFFECT ANYBODY'S DEED RESTRICTIONS.
AND I HAVE ADVISED IT'S A CIVIL MATTER, RIGHT, THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE.
I KNOW THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.
PLATTING DOES NOT IMPACT DEED RESTRICTIONS.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
[01:15:01]
I THINK IT WOULD BEHOOVE US JUST TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME STREETS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND APPARENTLY THERE'S SOME PROBLEMS AND WE CAN TABLE THIS AND HEAR IT ON AUGUST 1ST.WE'VE GOT TIME BECAUSE IT WAS FILED JULY THE 10TH.
SO WE'RE WITHIN THE 30 DAY WINDOW IF WE HAVE TO PROVE IT ANYWAY, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? WE NEED TO WAIT, I THINK, UNTIL IT COMES UP ON THE AGENDA AND THEN WE'LL DISCUSS IT FURTHER.
THAT COMPLETES THE CITIZEN COMMENTS.
[7. Zoning Change Application Z23-06 (218 West Peach Street) – City Council to consider the second reading of Ordinance No. 2023-035 relative to an application submitted by Cheyenne Haddad for property owner Shadi Mansour requesting to rezone 0.131 acres from “R-MF-1”, Multifamily District to “R-5.0”, Zero-Lot-Line District.

THE VACATION OF THE FINAL PLAT PLACID PENINSULA SECOND EDITION WAS APPROVED SEVEN ZERO.I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING AND I THINK THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION AND WE NEED TO DO THAT.
BUT SINCE ACCORDING TO THE CITY ATTORNEY, WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO APPROVE THIS.
CAN WE HAVE A CLARIFICATION THAT THAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY? YEAH, I'D BE FINE.
GOING TO PROVING THAT I STILL WANT TO KNOW MORE.
I STILL WANT TO DO THE WORK THAT SHARRON WANTS.
