Public Hearing on a Request by Tipton Engineering to Zone a 106 -Acre Tract of Land to Planned Development with Single Family Uses Located North of Hedgcoxe Road and East of Custer Road and Consider an Ordinance Effecting this Chan (Agenda Item VII) Bill Petty, Community Development Director, informed the Council this zoning request is on property located at the northeast corner of Custer Road and Hedgcoxe Road. The tract is in the Plano Independent School District. This proposal includes provision for 505 residential lots which exceeds the 1992 Comprehensive Plan allocation for this property by 159 dwelling units. The proposal designates 6.74 acres of open space at the southwest comer of the property and provides for the Homeowners' Association to maintain that open space. In response to the City of Plano's request that a public hike and bike trail be established as a linkage between other park segments in Plano, the proponent has agreed to dedicate the necessary public access easement in this area. The Planning & Zoning Commission requested that a Facilities Agreement be in place for Hedgcoxe Road and Old Custer Road at the time of final platting. Following are findings of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Majority findings: 1. This request meets a need in the City on the west side to coincide with development on the east side. 2. Proposed product is an asset to the City 3. The request will not adversely affect the AISD 4. Although the request represents an increase in overall density on this property, there is sufficient density to develop the remaining property in this neighborhood district. 5. The guidelines of the 1992 Comprehensive Plan should be studied for possible alteration Minority findings: 1. The density is significantly higher than the 1992 Comprehensive Plan allows. 2 Due to the increase in density at this site, adequate flexibility is not left for densities in the remaining land in this neighborhood district. 3. The density is too high. 4. The house size proposed in this development does not insure the same development in this subdivision as is being developed to the north 5. Satisfaction is not reached with the development standards. Pat Atkins with Tipton Engineering reviewed the history of this area and surrounding developments including the Custer Hills North development, the overhead water tower, the industrial area to the south and the properties to the east of this zoning request The present Custer Road designation will become a collector street for the subdivision. The new Custer alignment will be to the west of that street. Since this project is in the Plano Independent School District, contact has been made with the Plano Independent School District regarding their ability to purchase a 10 -acre elementary school site. ALLEN CITY COUNCIL REGULAR SESSION JANUARY 18, 1996 PAGE 7 Mr. Atkins reviewed the house size distribution which is market driven. He anticipated most buyers would be young couples or empty -nesters wanting a nice house with small yards Mayor Farmer read the request into the record as follows: "Public Hearing on a Request by Tipton Engineering to Zone a 106 -Acre Tract of Land to Planned Development with Single Family Uses Located North of Hedgcoxe Road and East of Custer Road and Consider an Ordinance Effecting this Change." Mayor Farmer opened the public hearing and asked for anyone speaking either for or against the request to do so at this time With no one speaking either for or against the request, Mayor Farmer closed the public hearing. Discussion was held regarding the design of Custer Road and the intersections of New Custer Road, Hedgcoxe and Old Custer Road. Director of Community Development Bill Petty was asked to review and consider the school site in conjunction with the open space and the homeowners' upkeep of that open space area. It was determined that if 10 -acres of land were purchased by the school district, it would not increase the number of units nor the density of the area. i In conjunction with the zoning on this tract, Council determined it may be appropriate for the Planning & Zoning Commission to review the Suncreek Zoning on the eastern side of Planning Area 20 to adjust zoning on that property MOTION: Upon a motion made by Nichols and a second by Mayor Pro Tem Lilly, the Council voted five (5) for and two (2) opposed with Councilmembers Kerr and Gallagher casting the negative votes to confirm planning and zoning recommendation by a request from Tipton Engineering to zone the 106 -acre tract of land to Planned Development (PD) with single family uses located north of Hedgcoxe Road and east of Custer Road with the following changes: Minimum lot size — average 6.000 sq. ft. lots with a minimum of 5,500 sq. ft. lots Minimum dwelling size — 10%, 1,350 sq. ft.; 30%, 1,500 sq. ft., 40% 1,600 sq. ft.; and 20%, 1,800 sq ft exclusive of garages.
