ALLEN PLANNING 6 ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 8, 1984 Tabled Item Shellev Realtors (Cont.) MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Wilson, the Commission voted 6-0 to remove agenda item from the table. The motion carried. Craig Curry presented the request to the Commission. He had a few changes that were requested by the Commission at the last meeting. He pointed out to the Commission that if any portion of a lot falls into another zoning district, that the lot would be the most restricted zoning. Proposed lot sizes are "R-5" - 7,500 sq. ft.; "R-4" - 9,000 sq. ft.; and "R-3" - 12,000 sq, ft. Commission was concerned about the house sizes that are allowed in the "R-5" district without deed restrictions. Consensus of the Commission was to deed restrict the "R-5" district to put a minimum on the house size on the lot. Bill Petty stated to the Commission that the deed restrictions needed to be kept as simple as possible from an administrative enforcement viewpoint; there should be a designation of land use when using blanket precentages. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wilson and seconded by Commissioner Hoover, the Commission voted 6-0 to approve Agenda Item No. IV with modifications. The motion carried. Modifications: (1) There will be a row of 120 feet in depth of "R-3"; adjacent to High Point Estates on the south and east side (2) There will be a row of 120 feet in depth of "R-4", adjacent to the "R-3". (3) The "R-5" portion will have a minimum house size will have a minimum 1,350 sq. ft. per home to be documented with voluntary deed restrictions before going to City Council.
