RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE ZONING IS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY TOWN HOMES AND THE IDEA TO DIVIDE LOT FIVE IN 243 SEPARATE LOT FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TOWN HOME USES.

YOU KNOW FOUNDATION, I'M KIND OF CONFUSED WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> RIGHT.
>> I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. USUALLY IF THERE'S UNPLATED PROPERTY WE PRELIMINARY PLAT SO YOU CAN SEE IT. AND THEN AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT HAS -- THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN INSTALLED WE WOULD DO A FINAL PLAT. BECAUSE THE PROPERTY IS ALREADY PLATTED. THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THAT PRELIMINARY PROCESS.
BUT WE ARE DOING THE RESELF-PLAT PROCESS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR FINAL PLAT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO THEN OH FORWARD AND ACCEPT OR U.S. BUILDING PERMITS FOR THE

>> SECOND. >> MARK SECONDS IT. LET'S ALL WITH A SHOW OF HANDS LET'S VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
AND WE ARE READY FOR THE SECOND ITEM. LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET THE RIGHT ONE THIS TIME. THIS IS ITEM 5-C TAKE ACTION ON PRELIMINARY PLAT ON ALLEY WAIVER
[5C. Take action on a Preliminary Plat, an alley waiver, and reduction of right-of way widths from 60 feet to 50 feet for the Grayhawk Ranch Addition. The 17.07-acre site is located 2,601 feet east of the Intersection of Rowlett Road and Big A Road in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]
AND REDUCTION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTHS FROM 60 TO 50 FEET FOR THE GRAY HAWKE RANCH ADDITION.THIS 17.07-ACRE SITE IS LOCATED 2,601 EAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF ROWLETT RATE AND BIG A ROAD IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. WHO WILL BE PRESENTING ON THAT
ONE. >> I WILL BE PRESENTING THAT, COMMISSIONER.
[00:11:25]
TEST >> WHICH THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED THEREFORE THEY ARE MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT OF THE ZONING DISTRICT OF SF-9. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT. THE ALLEYWAYER FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE EXISTING FLOODPLAIN EXISTING EASEMENT LOCATED ON THE WESTERN BOUNDARY AND REDUCTION OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH 60 FEET TO 50 FEET TO MEET THE 1,000 SQUARE FOOT REQUIREMENT. THIS COMPLETES THE PRESENTATION. THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THEY DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION. BUT THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU MISS BRADLEY. DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR CITY STAFF OR THE DEVELOPER ON THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT? I WANT TO START FIRST WITH MISS
BRADLEY. ANY FOR CITY STAFF? >> ANYBODY?
>> OKAY. HOW ABOUT FOR THE DEVELOPER. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPER?
>> NO. OKAY. >> GO AHEAD, JOHN.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION. THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE GIVING FOR REQUESTING A SMALLER OR NARROWER RIGHT-OF-WAY IS THE FACT THEY NEED TO MAINTAIN 9,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.
MY QUESTION IS -- I GUESS IT WAS FOR MORE DEVELOPER THAN THE CITY.
>> OKAY. >> THAT'S OKAY. GO AHEAD.
>> CAN THE DEVELOPER ANSWER THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE?
>> NO. I WILL WAIT FOR TO ASK THE DEVELOPER.
I'M SORRY. >> I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THE QUESTION IF THAT'S OKAY.
>> THE REASON YOU CAN'T HAVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AS REQUIRED BY OUR CODE IS THE FACT THAT YOU NEED TO MAYBE TRAIN 9,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. AND SEEMS TO ME LIKE IF YOU DIVIDE THIS LAND UP IN LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF PARCELS THAT YOU WANT TO YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN 9,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS AND STILL MEET THE RAILWAY. I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT --
>> I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. FIRST OF ALL MY NAME THE PATRICK.
MY ADDRESS 5200 STATE HIGH 121. AND I'M REPRESENTING THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
YEAH. I THINK THE REASON FOR REQUESTING A SMALL RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THIS AREA IS YOU KNOW MULTI -- ONE OF THEM TO ACHIEVE THE LOTS.
IF YOU LOOK ON THE PLOT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY EVERY LOT OVER 9,000 SQUARE FEET.
SOME ARE UP TO 15,000. IT'S A WE WILL HIT BY THE FLOODPLAINS AND THEY'RE AREAS IN
[00:15:01]
THERE WERE IT'S BENEFICIAL TO TAKE THAT SMALLER RIGHT-OF-WAY SECTION.WE ARE ONLY SERVING 35 LOTS IN THE AREA. IT'S ONE PHASE.
I CAN'T BE EXPANDED INTO ANOTHER PHASE. AND ANOTHER DIRECTION.
IT WILL BE A 35-STAND ALONE LIFETIME DEVELOPMENT. THE SECTION OF ROADWAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME IN THE 50-FOOT SECTION VERSES THE 60-FOOT SECTION.
THERE'S A FIVE-FOOT PARKWAY ON EACH SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE THOUGHT MORE BENEFICIAL IN PUTTING INTO THE LOTS AND PUTTING INTO THE AREAS WHERE WE COULD SAVE AND PRESERVE THE TREES. IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER WE WERE HERE A MONTH OR TWO MONTHS AGO REQUESTING AN ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN. YOU GUYS WERE GRACIOUS TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. CITY COUNCIL HAD DIFFERENT THOUGHT.
THEY ASKED US TO GO BACK AND LOOK. WE DID WHAT YOU SAID COMMISSIONER. WE HAD TO REDUCE COUPLE OF LOTS TO ACCOMMODATE THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT AS THE DEFINED IT THE CODE. WE WENT BACK ONBOARD.
REMOVED COUPLE OF LOTS. ADDRESSED THE LANDSCAPE SUFFICIENTLY AND WORKED WITH STAFF THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS. GOT THE LANDSCAPE IN ORDER. BUT WE'RE STILL REQUESTING THAT SMALL RIGHT-OF-WAY AND GET RID OF ALLEY. THE BIGGEST PURPOSE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND TOWN TO PRESERVE THE TREES. WE HEARD COUNCIL LOUD AND CLEAR.
>> THEY HAD A BIG ISSUE WITH THE NUMBER OF TREES WE WERE REMOVING.
AND THAT WAS THEIR BIGGEST CONCERN. WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PRESERVE THOSE TREES. AND IF YOU SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT WE'VE GOT A TREE PRESERVATION PLAN THAT WE'VE WORKED UP TO THIS POINT. WE'LL DEFINE OR WE WILL FINE TUNE THAT AND GET THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED ONCE WE GOT THE ENGINEERING BEHIND THAT AND PRESERVE MORE TREE THAN WHAT WE SEE TODAY. I THINK THE GOAL HERE IS TO PRESERVE AS MANY TREES AS WE CAN. MAINLY FOR BENEFITS THE CITY BUT ALSO BENEFITS THE DEVELOPER. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT THE COMMUNITY REALLY NICE WITH SOME MATURE TREE THAT ARE EXISTING TODAY. IT SEEMS TO BENEFIT EVERYONE.
>> I APPRECIATE THE PRESERVATION OF THE TREES. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.
BASICALLY THE ONLY THING DOING GETTING RID OF FIVE-FOOT PARKWAY ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD?
>> YES, SIR. >> THE SIDEWALKS ADJACENT TO ROAD.
>> YES, SIR. >> THAT'S ACTUALLY I THINK A BETTER SOLUTION THAN A PARKWAY.
>> WE THOUGHT THE SAME. IF THAT FIVE FOOT GOES IN THE BACK OF LOT AND SAVES ADDITIONAL TREE MAKES MORE SENSE IN THIS INSTANCE. THAT WAS OUR THOUGHT PROCESS ON
OUR END. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPER? ANYBODY? OKAY.
WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO GO AROUND AND GET EVERYBODY'S INPUT ON THIS.
WE'LL START WITH YOU. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? >> I'M FINE WITH WHAT THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO DO. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE TREES. WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO PRESERVE IT. THAT'S FINE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED A FULL CONFIRM L OR J-HOOK ENTRANCE FOR THOSE SPECIFIC HOMES THAT ARE EFFECTED.
I'M OKAY WITH WHAT THEY ARE DOING. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES OR
CONCERNS. I'M GOOD WITH IT. >> THANK YOU.
>> MR. WENTON. THE CHANGES REALLY BENEFIT IT. I'M GLAD TO SEE WHAT THEY'VE
DONE. >> ALL RIGHT. >> WHAT ABOUT ME?
>> VERY BRIEF. SMART USE I LIKE IT. LOOKS GOOD.
I THINK THEY'VE WORKED HARD WITH THE CITY TO TRY TO GET EL EVERYBODY HAPPY.
I WILL RECOMMEND APPROVAL. AND AT THIS POINT I THINK WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH REGARD TO ALLEYWAY AND REDUCTION OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH FROM 60 FEET TO 50 FEET. AND THEN ALSO MAKE SURE THEY
J-HOOK ENTRANCES AT THE SPECIFIC HOMES WHERE THERE'S THE CHANGES. >> THAT'S BASICALLY HOW IT WAS
SUBMITTED. CORRECT? >> CORRECT.
THEY HAD PROVIDED IN RIDING THEY WOULD PROVIDE THAT. >> YES.
[00:20:05]
>> DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> IT WILL SECOND IT. >> OKAY.
WE WILL I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE MOTION. >> CAN GO AHEAD.
DO WE NEED TO REDEFINE THE MOTION TAKING OUT THE L AND J-HOOK REQUIREMENT SINCE IT'S
WRITTEN IN THERE? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> I READ IT AS VERBALLY.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CORRECT. .
>> HEAR YOU. I KNOW I'M EXACTLY THERE WITH YOU.
>> IT'S -- CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT FOR US? >> MENAL WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. FROM A PLAT PERSPECTIVE, AGAIN, THE RECOMMENDATION THE ONLY ITEMS LISTED ARE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH.
IN THIS INSTANCE TO MECHANISM TO INCLUDE THIS PART OF THE PLAT IT'S NOT A PART OF THE PLAT APPLICATION TO INCLUDE THE J DRIVEWAYS. THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PLAT. ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE APPROVED FOR SUBDIVISION ARE THOSE TWO.
YOU WOULD APPROVE THE PLAT AS SUBMIT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DO NOW.
IF -- ALTHOUGH THEY INDICATED THEY WOULD PROVIDE J OR HOOK DRIVEWAYS.
AT THIS POINT THAT'S NOT PARLIAMENT OF THE PLAT REVIEW. IT'S NOT APPLICABLE TO THE PLAT REVIEW. LET'S ASSUME THAT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DO THAT.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR VARIANCE. >> OKAY.
I WILL WITHDRAW MY MOTION. AND I WILL PHRASE IT. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT ALLEY WAIVER AND REDUCTION OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH 60 FEET TO 50
FEET. >> OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND. >> SECOND. >> WE'RE READY FOR A VOTE.
ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND. AND AGAIN THAT CARRIES
