Public Hearing To consider public comment on a request by JNC Partners LLC to revise the existing Planned Development (PD) Ord. No. 262-2006 for rezoning of a 272.6 acre tract within the larger original Planned Development area (known as Anna Ranch). Petitioner requests a change in zoning to allow a switch in location between a part of the SF -A zoning area and the SF -B zoning area, to allow a maximum density of 4.2 dwelling units per acre in the SF -A zoning category, and to change the SF -B minimum lot width from 60 feet to 55 feet. Public hearing was opened at 7:10 p.m. Don Hixon of Melissa, Texas, expressed his concerns in opposition to the zoning request. PZC Minutes 12-05-06 Page 1 of 4 12-05-06 Steve Topletz of Andante Development, inc., representing JNC Partners, gave brief presentation regarding zoning request. Jed Dolson, representative for Skorborg Company, expressed concerns in opposition to the proposed zoning request. Public hearing dosed at 7:23 p.m. (known as Anna Ranch). Petitioner requests a change in zoning to allow a switch in location between a part of the SF -A zoning area and the SF -B zoning area, to allow a maximum density of 4.2 dwelling units per acre in the SF -A zoning category, and to change the SF -3 minimum lot width from 60 feet to 56 feet. Mr. Lawrence was recognized and briefly summarized the zoning request being made. He also noted that there was reference in the comments of one of the public hearing participants to thoroughfare issues, particularly the "Braided Y". He stated that the zoning request did not relate to the "Braided Y" issue; the "Braided Y" issue was a platting and thoroughfare planning question, not a zoning concern. Mr. Hendricks was recognized and expressed his opposition to the zoning request. He stated that the residential densities were already higher than he desired and the re- zoning request appeared to be a request to increase the densities to an even higher level. He also stated that it appeared that the request gave the property owner an entitlement to even smaller lots than in the original zoning ordinance. After brief discussion, motion was made by Mr. Finley recommending that the request for rezoning be denied without prejudice. Mr. Ballantyne seconded the motion, which passed by the following vote: 6 aye 0 nay 1 abstained (Mr. Cuilar, due to potential perception of conflict of interest because of prior employment by D.R. Horton) 5. Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding final plat for Anna City Hall Addition. Mr. Lawrence was recognized to discuss the item. He stated that the City owned two adjacent tracts of land occupying most of the block bounded by N. Powell Parkway, W. Third Street, N. James Street, and W. Fourth Street. The City intends to locate a 3,000 square foot office building on this property, which has never been formally plaited. The City proposes to combine the two tracts into one platted lot. He stated that the proposed plat satisfies the terms of the City's subdivision regulations. The one unusual feature of the plat is the inclusion of ten feet of property on the Third Street and Fourth Street sides of the property that is not part of the legal description of either of the two original tracts of land. Mr. Lawrence stated that the area between property lines on both Third and Fourth streets was 80 feet in width and there appeared to be no private ownership of the area 80 feet wide strips of property. Neither Third nor PZC Minutes 12-05-06 Page 2 of 4 12-0506 Fourth streets are on the City's Thoroughfare Plan, meaning that the standard right-of- way width for the streets should be no more than 60 feet. Therefore, the City was proposing to plat the property so that a right-of-way of 60 feet would be maintained for the two streets. Motion was made by Mr. Hendricks to recommend to Council approval of final plat submitted for Anna City Hail Addition. Mr. Finley seconded the motion which passed by the following vote: 7 aye 0 nay 0 abstained 6. ConsidertDiscusslAct on recommendation regarding site plan for Anna City Hall Addition.
