Public Hearing
Carnes Development (Continued)
"Texas. These two tracts are identified and delineated
in the Official Zoning Map as P.D. 2 and P.D. 12, further
described as being south of F.M. 2170, east of Hillside
Lane, and west of Allen Heiahts Road. The request is to
change the present zoning of P.D. 2 and P.D. 12 to Planned
Development (PD) 33, which would include residential,
office, and retail development."
Mr. J. T. Dunkin, representing Carnes Development Company,
presented the zoning case to the Commission. He stated the uses
in this area will be Office, Shopping Center, Multifamily, and
Patio Home. They are changing from three service stations to
two stations. He indicated he has discussed park access with
Mark Thornton. The open space requirement of 3.7 acres is met.
He added that screening would be used behind the local retail to
block the buildings from the view of the apartments. Allen Heights
will be landscaped as a buffer from the residential across the
street. This landscaping will continue through the office tract.
Vice Chairman Wilson opened the Public Hearing.
With no one wishing to speak either for or against this zoning
action, Vice Chairman Wilson closed the Public Hearing.
Tom Keener spoke for staff. He questioned the site plan as to
the alleys in Tract G. Mr. Dunkin stated space is allowed for
either front or rear entry garages and alleys are shown on the
plan. Tom Keener stated there as been a decrease in the multi-
family and the housing changed from duplex to zero lot line
homes. He stated this is basically a redistribution of existing
zoning. He added the request for the service station was reduced from
three service stations and one station only. He discussed his
analysis in relation to the Comprehensive Plan.
Bill Petty stated he has talked with Mr. Bass regarding the
extension of Allen Heights Road. Staff did not want this
development to go in before Allen Heights Drive is completed.
The alignment of Hillside with Allen Heights Drive is very
important and needs to be addressed. Mr. Petty stated that
Allen Heights needs to be built before any construction in this
development.
Mr. Carnes would be responsible only for the north side of the
road. He would put in two lanes of an eventual six -lane divided
road.
Vice Chairman Wilson asked for a presentation on the traffic impact.
Mr. Jones presented the study.
Public Hearing
Carnes Development (Continued)
Jack Pennington stated this is a better distribution of land uses.
He will want to see rear entry garages and we need some sort of
agreement on Allen Heights Drive in conjunction with the develop-
ment.
Mr. Carnes stated that his understanding with Don Bass was that both
of them would develop Allen Heights Drive at the time of this
development. Discussion followed as to whether this meant Allen
Heights all the way to Hillside or only within the distance of
the development.
Mr. Carnes stated his intention is that as he develops along Allen
Heights section of this property only, the road would be constructed.
Mr. Bass would develop the southern two lanes and continue to
Hillside Lane. Mr. Carnes stated he had not addressed the
question of development of Allen Heights being completed before any
■�''+, section of Tract D or C is developed.
Commission expressed concern with Tract C and D being developed
without Allen Heights being developed.
Commissioner Armand questioned the height of the office buildings.
Mr. Dunkin stated they would not be over two stories.
Commissioner Hoover questioned the difference in flood plain between
what the FEMA maps say and the presentation here tonight. Mr. Petty
stated Mark Thornton has reviewed from the standpoint of the linear
park system and finds it satisfactory.
Commissioner Hoover asked about Tract D, on the west side, as to
the screening used. The cul-de-sac at Hillside needs a buffer.
Mr. Dunkin stated there will be private property between the
cul-de-sac and Hillside which could be a buffer.
Vice Chairman Wilson agreed that private property in the cul-de-sac
needs to buffer Hillside. He added he would like screening along
Hillside. He mentioned one lot on Allen Heights Road abuts the ROW
of Allen Heights Road.
Mr. Petty stated the policy would call for all lots on Allen Heights
to be screened.
Commissioner Wilson stated he would like to see rear entry garages.
Mr. Carnes' portion of Allen Heights Drive should be completed before
any certificate of occupancy is issued on any tract in the proposed
P.D. Maximum height in the office district should be two stories.
Commissioner Garcia stated he would like to see more office and
less commercial.
