[2. Conduct a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning request for 5 acres legally described as Tracts 2D01 and 2D of the Teeter Garret Survey Abstract 1537 from R-15,000 (single-family homes on 15,000 square foot lots) to R-7,500 (singlefamily homes on 7,500 square foot lots). The property is generally located south side of Cheek Sparger Road, approximately 500 feet east of the Central Drive and Cheek Sparger Road intersection, commonly known as 2416 Cheek Sparger Road. (PZ-ZC-2022-50049)]

OUR SECOND ITEM IS ITEM PZ-ZC-2022-50049.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A REZONING REQUEST.

STAFF. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A REZONING ON APPROXIMATELY FIVE ACRES.

GENERALLY KNOWN AS 2416 CHEEK SPARGER ROAD.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, TRACTS IDENTIFIED AS TRACTS 2D01 AND 2D OF THE TEETER GARRET SURVEY ABSTRACT 1537.

THE REQUEST IS FOR REZONING FROM CURRENT ZONING OF R-1500, WHICH IS A MINIMUM OF 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS TO R 7500, WHICH IS A MINIMUM OF 7500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

JUST A REAL QUICK SUMMARY OF THE REQUEST.

AGAIN, JUST TO SAY THIS IS A STRAIGHT ZONING OR CONDITIONAL ZONING REQUEST.

SO ALL WE'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT IS ARE THE DENSITY OR THE LOT SIZES PROPOSED.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS COMPATIBLE AND MEETS THE AREA AND IS A TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT WE WOULD WANT TO SEE IN THAT AREA? SO AGAIN, THE REQUEST IS GOING FROM 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT MINIMUM TO 7500 SQUARE FOOT LOT MINIMUM CHANGE IN USES.

THERE IS NOT REALLY A CHANGE IN USE THAT'S ALLOWED PER FROM ONE OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS TO THE NEXT.

SO THIS IS PRIMARILY A LOT SIZE DENSITY QUESTION TONIGHT.

FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY IS IDENTIFIED AS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THE REQUEST DOES COMPLY WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE.

TO DIVE INTO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO THE DIFFERENCES OF THE TWO DISTRICTS.

THIS IS IN YOUR BACKUP, BUT IT'S ALSO ON THE SCREEN THERE FOR THE PUBLIC'S CONSUMPTION.

BUT THE PRIMARY BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO REALLY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EXISTING DISTRICT AND PROPOSED DISTRICT IS OBVIOUSLY LOT SIZE, AS WE'VE ALL ALREADY DISCUSSED.

AND THE MINIMUM FLOOR AREA OF THE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE THAT WOULD BE BUILT, YOU CAN SEE IN R-15, IT'S A MINIMUM FLOOR AREA OF 2000 SQUARE FEET.

THE PROPOSED REQUIREMENTS FOR R-75 IS A MINIMUM OF 1350.

NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE OBVIOUSLY THE DEVELOPER CAN'T, HE CAN BUILD LARGER AS LONG AS THEY MAINTAIN THAT 40% LOT COVERAGE.

[00:05:06]

BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT THIS ZONING ORDINANCE DICTATES IS A MINIMUM OF 1350.

WHEN LOOKING AT ZONING, WE LOOK AT COMPATIBILITY.

IT'S A PRIMARY FOCUS HERE.

YOU CAN SEE THERE THE STAR REPRESENTS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY.

I JUST TOOK A SCREENSHOT OF OUR CURRENT ZONING MAP TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO WHAT'S AROUND YOU.

AND THIS IS ALSO ILLUSTRATED IN YOUR BACKUP.

THE R-75 IS PREDOMINANTLY TO THE EAST AND TO THE SOUTH.

R-9 IS ALSO IN THE VICINITY OF THE REQUEST.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME PDS THAT ARE SMALLER LOT SIZES THERE ON CENTRAL AS WELL.

PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS USUALLY SOMETHING WE LOOK AT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S CAPACITY IN THE AREA.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE A SIX INCH WATER LINE.

THESE ARE ALL BASED ON CITY'S CURRENT GIS MAP.

WE ALWAYS TELL THE APPLICANT AND THE DEVELOPER THESE ALL NEED TO BE FIELD, VERIFIED.

BUT BASED ON OUR GIS MAP, YOU'VE GOT A SIX INCH WATER LINE ALONG THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, SIX INCH SEWER TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT AN EXISTING STORM DRAIN THERE TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WHEN PLATTING COMES INTO PLACE, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL ASK THE APPLICANT OR THE DEVELOPER TO TAKE THEIR DRAINAGE TO, TO CONNECT TO THOSE TWO STORM DRAINS.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE DO A NOTIFICATION.

WE PLACE A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY.

WE NOTIFY 16 ADJACENT PROPERTY.

THERE'S THE MAP THERE. IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU ALL ARE USED TO SEEING.

IN SOME CHANGES IN OUR GIS IT POPS UP THAT WAY NOW, BUT ALL THE AREAS IN GREEN, MINUS THAT TO THE NORTH, WHICH IS IN COLLEYVILLE, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE REQUEST.

AND WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE RESPONSE THAT IS AT YOUR DESK TONIGHT.

YOU SAW THAT AS YOU SAT DOWN.

TONIGHT YOU'RE CONDUCTING YOUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REQUEST.

YOU CAN ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME UP, GIVE HIS PRESENTATION.

IN YOUR BACKUP THEY PROVIDE YOU SOME RENDERING, SOME CONCEPTS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS JUST CONCEPTUAL.

THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE APPROVING TONIGHT.

TONIGHT YOU'RE APPROVING LOT SIZE.

SO WHAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAPPEN IS AFTER IF THIS GETS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL.

CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE REALLY APPROVING THAT WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, THE LAYOUT OF THE LOTS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

TONIGHT YOU'LL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

AND I APOLOGIZE. YOU CANNOT APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS THAT'S A TYPO IN THE STAFF OR IN THE PRESENTATION.

YOU CAN ONLY APPROVE OR DENY A STRAIGHT ZONING REQUEST.

YOU CAN ALSO TABLE IF YOU WISH TO GET MORE INFORMATION, BUT PRIMARILY FOR ACTIONS YOU'RE LOOKING AT TABLE OR DENIED.

CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

COMMISSIONERS. COMMISSIONER, BRYAN.

COMMISSIONER OTTO? YES. I WAS GOING TO ASK ONE.

BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING ARE WE SEEING A NOTICEABLE TREND IN GOING TO SMALLER HOMES? YEAH, I THINK THE MARKET IS SEEING THAT IN GENERAL, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR A SMALLER LOT.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD REQUESTS.

Y'ALL HAD ONE AT YOUR LAST MEETING FOR A SMALLER LOT.

JUST BECAUSE THAT'S THE TREND AND THAT'S THE MARKET DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT DOES MEET OUR FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE JUDGE IT BY.

BUT IN GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT THE MARKET IS GOING MORE TOWARD A SMALLER LOT INSTEAD OF THE 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

BUT THAT DOESN'T THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY BEARING ON YOUR DECISION.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF? I DO KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND I'M SURE THEY WOULD ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS OR MAYBE EVEN HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU.

WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? HELLO. MY NAME IS JOHN [INAUDIBLE] I'M THE APPLICANT.

MY ADDRESS IS 1297 AVONDALE HASLETT ROAD IN FORT WORTH 76052.

WELCOME, SIR. 76052 IS MY ZIP CODE.

YEAH. I DON'T HAVE A FANCY PRESENTATION OR ANYTHING.

WES DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

OKAY. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT TO SELL YOU ON SOMETHING OR JUST, YOU KNOW, TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

I'VE DONE A DEVELOPMENT IN BEDFORD BEFORE.

I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE NICER DEVELOPMENTS.

IT WAS A R-9000 SUBDIVISION, PRETTY PROUD OF IT ON WOODSON CIRCLE, AND WE DID A NICE HOME.

WE ALSO BUILT MOST OF THOSE HOMES AS WELL.

AND ON THIS THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE, I MEAN, THE R-7500 ACTUALLY TOUCHES OTHER R-7500 LOTS.

[00:10:02]

SO I THINK IT'S [INAUDIBLE] AND THERE'S COMMERCIAL ON ONE SIDE.

I THINK IT'S A NICE BUFFER ZONING AND I KNOW WE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT LOT SIZE.

IN THE DEVELOPMENT WORLD THESE ARE GOOD LOTS.

THESE ARE BIG SIZES. YOU KNOW, USUALLY EVERYONE'S TRYING TO DO SMALLER LOTS AND 40 FOOT, 50 FOOT AND, YOU KNOW, JUST HAVE A GARAGE DOOR AND STUFF.

THAT'S NOT THIS. I MEAN, THEY USUALLY, DEVELOPERS CAN BE REAL AGGRESSIVE AND ASK FOR THE MAX AND WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.

WE WANT A NICE PRODUCT FOR BEDFORD AND THE BUILDERS THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE SANDLIN HOMES THAT IS VERY, VERY, VERY COMMITTED TO DOING THIS PROJECT. I GOT AN EMAIL TODAY WITH MONETARY AND BLOOMFIELD HOMES.

SO TWO VERY REPUTABLE LOCAL MID CITIES BUILDERS THAT ARE 100% INTERESTED IN BUYING ALL THESE LOTS.

SO I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU IS GOING TO BE A GREAT ASSET FOR THE CITY.

WELL, THANK YOU, SIR, FOR BEING HERE.

I'M SURE WE MAY HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU AS THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENS.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION.

OH, EXCUSE ME, SIR. WE DID HAVE A COMMISSIONER QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY CHEEK SPARGER IS A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD.

AND I STARTED TO STOP AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY.

I KNOW WHERE IT IS, BUT SOMEBODY WAS TAILGATING ME AND I WAS AFRAID TO PULL OFF WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED.

NOW I NOTICE IN ONE OF YOUR RENDERINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO OFFSET AND HAVE IT LOOKS LIKE AN ACCESS OR EGRESS ON THE OPENING TO CHEEK SPARGER, IS THAT CORRECT? IS IT WHAT I LOOKED AT YOUR? CORRECT. SO WE INSTEAD OF BEING RIGHT ON THE ROAD WE'RE DOING, WE HAVE A 35 FOOT SETBACK FROM WHERE THE EASEMENT IS NOW TO ADDITIONAL BECAUSE WE ARE EXPECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT WIDENING OF THAT ROAD TOO WHICH CAN BE A LOT SAFER.

AND THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE THAT THERE'S A $400 MILLION DOLLAR BOND PACKAGE FOR THIS TO BE WIDENING.

SO WE'VE ALREADY ALLOCATED AND YOU CAN SEE IN MY CONCEPTUAL PLAN ON THAT TO HAVE A SETBACK TO ALLOW SOME VISUAL SIGHT AND SAFETY. AND SO IT'S EXPENSIVE TO GIVE THAT.

BUT IT'S. NO, I UNDERSTAND.

BUT IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT STREET.

AND AS SLOW AS COLLEYVILLE IS, THEY'LL PROBABLY TAKE FOREVER TO REBUILD THAT THING.

SO I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH ACCESS AND EGRESS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT LIVE THERE, CAN GET IN AND OUT OF THAT SUBDIVISION.

CORRECT. SO, I MEAN, REGARDLESS OF WHEN THAT ROAD COMES THROUGH, OUR SETBACK IS THERE AND ALREADY IN PLACE.

SO IT'LL BE THERE.

THE ROAD WILL STILL BE TWO LANES UNTIL YOU KNOW I CAN'T CONTROL THAT.

BUT I AM PROVIDING THE LAND FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO WIDEN THAT AND MAKE IT SAFER.

AND WES? AND WIDENING THAT PART.

THAT'S OK, RIGHT.

WELL, WIDENING HIS SECTION OF THE ROAD? YES, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

I MEAN HE'S HE'S DEDICATING THE.

NOT REALLY DEDICATING THE RIGHT OF WAY.

HE'S SETTING THE LAND ASIDE AT THIS POINT IN TIME FOR WHEN THAT WIDENING HAPPENS.

HE WOULD NOT BE PHYSICALLY WIDENING THE ROAD RIGHT THERE.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT COLLEYVILLE IS IN THE DESIGN PHASE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THERE.

THERE WILL BE MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WILL BE A IT'LL BE TWO LANE WITH A SUICIDE LANE IN THE MIDDLE, AS THEY CALL IT.

IT'S MY ENGINEERING SPEAK FOR THE DAY.

BUT YEAH, HE WOULD NOT BE WIDENING THE ROAD WITH THIS PROJECT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? IF I COULD CALL THE APPLICANT UP AGAIN.

MR. [INAUDIBLE]. I LOOKED AT YOUR WEBSITE BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW WHO YOU WERE BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW YOU.

YOU DO A VERY GOOD VIDEO.

THESE AREN'T YOU'RE HERE AS FAR AS THE ZONING AND THESE QUESTIONS THAT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU DON'T PERTAIN TO THE ZONING, BUT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND AS A DEVELOPER, BECAUSE I WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH YOU UNTIL I LOOKED YOU UP.

AND WOULD YOU SAY YOUR PRIMARY DUTIES ARE I SAID I SHOULDN'T SAY DUTIES.

YOUR PRIMARY BUSINESS IS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

I'M A REAL ESTATE BROKER PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IS A LARGE PORTION OF WHAT WE DO.

OKAY. AND THEN YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU HAD DONE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT IN BEDFORD WOODSON CIRCLE.

HAVE YOU DONE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS? I'M IN SOUTH FORT WORTH.

EAST FORT WORTH.

AND I'VE DONE SOME I WOULDN'T SAY DEVELOPMENTS.

I SPECIFICALLY DID THE LOTS NORTH OF MARTIN METHODIST CHURCH THERE, THE COMMERCIAL LOOKING CRAZY MODERN BUILDING AND WHERE MR. FISHER USED TO LIVE, DID THAT.

DONE SOME STUFF IN EULESS.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THESE HOMES THAT WILL BE BUILT BY SANDLIN AND OTHER BUILDERS TO BE FOR SALE HOMES.

[00:15:05]

YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO BUILD A RENTAL COMMUNITY OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, CORRECT? NO, I'M NOT. AND THAT ACTUALLY CAME UP AS SOMEBODY BROUGHT THAT UP.

IT'S JUST NOT IT'S I MEAN, IT'S NOT EVEN DISCUSSED AROUND THE RADAR.

THESE ARE 6 TO 700,000 HOMES, MAYBE MORE.

I USED TO BUILD AND DEVELOP JUST FOR MYSELF.

I JUST I SEEM TO WANT TO DEVELOP EVERY TIME A RECESSION IS COMING, SO I'M JUST GOING TO SELL THESE LOTS.

WELL, I MEAN, BEING A YOU KNOW, I LOOKED AT YOUR SITE AND YOU HAVE HOMES THAT YOU'RE HOW DO I WANT TO SAY IT, MANAGING AS A PROPERTY MANAGER.

SO THAT KIND OF FITS.

AND THERE IS A TREND THAT SOME DEVELOPERS ARE GOING IN AND BUILDING SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS TO RENT.

BUT YOU'RE SAYING THIS THAT IS NOT YOUR DESIRE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SANDLIN AND OTHER BUILDERS AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SALE SIGNS ON THEM GO FIVE OR 600,000, WHATEVER YOU FEEL? OKAY. RIGHT? YES. THIS IS VERY TYPICAL SUBDIVISION.

IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH INVESTMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

OKAY. THESE DO NOT PERTAIN TO THE ZONING, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS AND WE'LL PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THIS AGAIN.

I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU'LL GO IN WITH A MANDATORY HOA.

YES BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME FRONT WALL AND SOME LANDSCAPE AREAS DON'T WANT TO, BUT IT'S JUST BETTER TO DO IT.

WELL, THE FRONT WALL, I MEAN, THEY HAVE A SIGN FOR THE NAME OF THE STREET OR THE DEVELOPMENT.

IT WILL BE ILLUMINATED AT NIGHT, I WOULD GUESS? YES, WE HAVE A BUDGET FOR THAT.

AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED AND FALL IN LINE WITH THE HOUSE PRICE OF THAT COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE HOA WILL THERE BE IN THE DUE STRUCTURE BUILT TO DO MANDATORY LAWN SERVICE FOR THE SO MANY LOTS THAT ARE THERE? NO, NO. SO THERE'S ONLY MANDATORY AND STUFF THAT'S CAN BE MAINTAINED IS IN FROM THE WALL, FORWARD TO THE STREET.

EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE PRIVATE.

AND THE SURROUNDING AROUND THE HOUSES WILL BE WOOD, WILL BE MASONRY? FOR LIKE A SCREENING OR WALLS? YES. SO THAT'S NOT FULLY DEVELOPED YET.

THERE ARE SOME REQUIREMENTS ON THE EXISTING NEIGHBORS BEING COMMERCIAL AND SOME EXISTING MASONRY WALLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THERE.

SO AT A MINIMUM YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW PROBABLY SIMILAR FENCING BETWEEN FENCING BETWEEN THERE WILL BE SCREENING AROUND 100% OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

AT A MINIMUM, IT'S GOING TO BE WOOD OR CEDAR FENCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT TOUCHES AND MATCHES OR AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN WHAT THE EXISTING NEIGHBORS HAVE. OKAY.

AND WILL YOU END UP IN SOME CASES WITH DUAL FENCES? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THE NEIGHBORS HAS A FENCE AND YOU HAVE A FENCE AND YOU HAVE THAT AREA IN BETWEEN.

MAYBE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE ONLY AND MAYBE ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE.

BUT I WOULD THINK THE RESIDENTIAL BE MUCH MORE BENEFITED BY THE FENCE THAT WE PUT IN.

OKAY. PARKING STREET PARKING ALLOWED OR NOT ALLOWED? IT'S A PUBLIC STREET. SO IT WILL BE ALLOWED.

BUT IT'S CONTROLLED BY THE HOA.

I'M JUST ASKING WHETHER.

THE PARKING IS NOT NECESSARILY CONTROLLED BY THE HOA.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A PUBLIC STREET.

AND SO THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS REQUIRE THREE.

I KNOW WHAT THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS ARE.

I'M JUST ASKING ARE YOU AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ZONING.

I'M JUST ASKING.

OKAY. IF THE HOA DECIDES TO TAKE THAT ON THEY CAN DO THAT.

OKAY BUT AS THE DEVELOPER YOU'LL BE CREATING THE CCNRS RIGHT? UP FRONT I DO HAVE NO PLANS TO CREATE THE CCNRS THAT RESTRICT PUBLIC STREET PARKING.

OKAY, LET'S SEE THE DETENTION POND.

I LOOK AT IT AND IT'S THE LAND DRAINS SOUTH TO WEST.

IT LOOKS, YOU KNOW, IT'S ABOUT THIS BIG, YOU KNOW, ON THE RENDERING.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL.

I THINK WHAT I READ WAS THAT IT'S DESIGNED TO ADEQUATELY HOLD WHATEVER WATER DRAINS OFF.

I'VE HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BOTH WITH RETENTION AND DETENTION PONDS.

IN THE CASE OF A DETENTION POND, IT WASN'T LARGE ENOUGH.

THE DEVELOPER ACTUALLY HAD TO COME BACK IN THE CITY, ACTUALLY STOPPED THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO I ALWAYS KIND OF LIKE TO SEE THAT THEY MAYBE EXCEED THE WATER, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF 100%, IT'S 120%.

DO YOU HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE ENGINEER'S HERE TONIGHT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO GO ABOVE THE MINIMUM.

IT'S NICE, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO PROMISE YOU SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S COMPLETELY OVER MY HEAD AS FAR AS MATHEMATICALLY WHAT'S THERE AND WHAT'S ALLOWED AND WHAT'S NOT.

THAT PROBABLY IS GOING TO BE ADDRESSED IN PLATTING.

OKAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, I WON'T BE ABLE TO SELL THESE HOMES IF I HAVE SOMETHING THE CITY DOESN'T APPROVE.

AND THIS MIGHT BE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL FIT FOR YOU OR FOR WES.

THE 35 FOOT ARE YOU PLANNING ON ARE YOU IMAGINING I LIVE OFF OF CHEEK SPARGER, SO I'M VERY AWARE OF THE ROAD AND SO ON AND SO FORTH THAT IT'S COLLEYVILLE.

[00:20:03]

AND IS THAT 35 FEET WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AS KIND OF A CUTOUT A LITTLE BIT SO PEOPLE CAN PULL OFF THERE AND THEY DON'T GET REAR ENDED? BECAUSE I HAVE A CONCERN THAT IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE AND I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE AT RUSH HOUR ALSO.

AND THAT'S THE REASON TO GO TO THREE LANES TURNING LANE IS THAT I'M TRYING TO VISUALIZE WHAT THAT 35 FOOT IS AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE.

ARE YOU COUNTING THAT AS WHAT COLLEYVILLE IS GOING TO BUILD ON OR THAT'S ACTUALLY THE PROPERTY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LET SOMEBODY KIND OF PULL OVER A LITTLE BIT? IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PROPERTY THAT WE ALLOW PEOPLE TO PULL OVER THAT THAT PROPERTY'S BEING SET ASIDE FOR THE CITY OF COLLEYVILLE TO WIDEN THE ROAD.

SO IN THE INTERIM, IT'S GOING TO BE A WIDE OPEN SPACE WITH A VERY LARGE VISUAL EASEMENT FOR PEOPLE TO APPROACH SLOWLY OR TO TURN OFF.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO A, I GUESS A 50 FOOT WIDE NICE PUBLIC STREET THERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S I CAN SAY THAT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE STREET NOW.

THAT THE ROAD AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ALREADY BEEN FUNDED AND BEING DESIGNED, I SUPPOSE, TO CORRECT IT.

BUT YES, IT'S I THINK BEING CLOSE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE CIRCLE THAT PEOPLE COME OUT OF THERE A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, BUT I'M NOT ON THERE, SO.

WELL, I LIVE QUITE A DISTANCE FROM THE CIRCLE.

I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, THE CIRCLE HAS IMPROVED.

THE ROUNDABOUT HAS IMPROVED THE SITUATION.

THE ADDITIONAL LANE IS SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION.

BUT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER MADE A VERY VALID POINT THAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO STOP QUICKLY THERE TODAY, BECAUSE YOU COULD YOU COULD HAVE A PROBLEM.

I THINK THAT'S A FAIR STATEMENT.

IF WE IF I CAN JUST I'LL JUST KIND OF WRAP THIS UP.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET YOUR FEELING ON THAT.

YOU'VE KIND OF TOLD ME WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE.

WE DO HAVE.

AND MAYBE I'LL LET THE CHAIRMAN ADDRESS THIS.

WE DO HAVE A LETTER THAT CAME IN FROM A CITIZEN ON THIS.

SO WE'LL ADDRESS THAT DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE ONE MORE? OH YOU GOT A SHORT LEASH TONIGHT, JOHN.

I'M SORRY. ONE MORE THING.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO THEN WE'LL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

SIR. THIS IS RELATIVE TO THE QUESTION THAT ROGER JUST ASKED, I BELIEVE, AND ACTUALLY IT'S RELATIVE TO THE LETTER THAT WE RECEIVED FROM MICHELLE AND MICHAEL GROSS.

AND MY CONCERN, IF I WAS GOING TO WRITE A COMMENT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXACTLY AS THEY HAD WRITTEN IT IS HAVING SPENT A LOT OF TIME WAITING IN TRAFFIC, AT CHEEK SPARGER, AT RUSH HOUR.

I KNOW IT'S NOT A LOT OF LOTS YOU'VE GOT HERE, BUT TO HAVE THAT ONE INGRESS EGRESS LOCATION ONLY ON CHEEK SPARGER.

HAD YOU EXPLORED THE OPPORTUNITY WITH THE BAPTIST CHURCH FOR A CENTRAL AVENUE ACCESS? IS THAT EVEN SOMETHING THAT'S POSSIBLE? I'VE TALKED TO JIM, WHO DOES THE LAND REPRESENTATION FOR THE CHURCH EARLY ON, BUT WE HAVE NOT EXPLORED THAT AS SOMETHING.

I'VE BEEN RECENTLY ADVISED THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON SOME OTHER PLANS WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENT STUFF, BUT THAT IS JUST PURE SPECULATION AND HEARSAY.

SO. SO I HAVE NOT OK.

THAT'S THE PRIMARY CONCERN I HAD.

VERY PLEASED WITH YOUR LOT SIZE.

I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT IT LOOKS VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT COMMISSIONERS. AND JUST AS A REMINDER TO ALL OF US IS THAT THIS IS A ZONING LOT SIZE CHANGE AND THESE OTHER ISSUES WILL PRESENT THEMSELVES WHENEVER THE PRELIMINARY PLAT COMES BEFORE US AND GIVE US AN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THEIR HARDCORE PLAN IS BASED ON WHATEVER OUR DECISION IS TONIGHT ON LOT SIZE.

SO IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION, I'D LIKE TO START A PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:24.

CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER.

ANY FOLKS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

WE'D BE INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO YOU.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

HI MY NAME IS MICHAEL GROSSI, 2604 TALISMAN COURT BEDFORD, TEXAS.

I WROTE THE LETTER TO YOU GUYS TODAY.

I AM VERY PLEASED WHAT HE IS PRESENTING.

JUST HAD THE CONCERN WITH THE TRAFFIC OFF CHEEK SPARGER AND JUST COUPLE OF THE WILDLIFE THINGS THAT THE BIRDS MIGRATE THROUGH.

JUST TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING I KNOW WE CAN'T REALLY PROTECT THEM, BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO WHEN THEY'RE HERE TO KEEP IT FROM BEING DEVELOPED AT THAT TIME WHILE THEY'RE NESTING. SO OTHER THAN THAT, WE WERE REALLY PLEASED WITH JOHN'S PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT.

[00:25:02]

ANYONE ELSE. YES, SIR.

SO. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR US.

MY NAME IS JEFF CARTER.

I LIVE AT 2600 TALISMAN COURT RIGHT NEXT TO MIKE GROSSI.

SORRY, FIRST OF ALL, ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT CAME UP WAS THE FACT THAT THERE'S A SIGN PLACED ON THE PROPERTY THAT THERE IS A ZONING REQUEST CHANGE.

I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT OUT ON THE STREET.

I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.

THE OTHER THING I WANT TO BRING UP IS I AM ALSO SIMILARLY CONCERNED WITH THE SAME COMMENT THAT CAME UP FROM SOME OF YOU GUYS ABOUT THE EGRESS ENTRANCE EXIT AND THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE THERE.

AND BY ADDING MORE CHANGING THE ZONE FROM R-1500 TO R-7500 WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE GOING IN AND OUT.

AND I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIS DESIGN.

YOU KNOW, I'VE LOOKED AT WHERE IT FALLS TO MY HOUSE AND IN THE IMPACT THAT WILL HAPPEN THERE.

I DO WANT TO REMIND YOU GUYS, BACK AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON JANUARY 11TH, THEY VOTED DOWN THE EMERALD COTTAGES THAT HAD A VERY SIMILAR TOPIC.

CHEEK SPARGER IS OWNED BY COLLEYVILLE AND IS NOT BEDFORD AND TO MAKE A COMMITMENT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT AN ACCESS ROAD IN THERE IS NOT OUTSIDE OF I MEAN, IT'S OUTSIDE OF WHAT THE CITY OF BEDFORD CAN CONTROL.

AND I DO HAVE CONCERNS THERE.

SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, SIR. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING TO SEE US.

ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD? YES, SIR. AGAIN, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR US, FOR THE RECORD.

SURE. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] IBRAHIM.

I'M ON 2424 CHEEK SPARGER.

SO I FACE THAT TRAFFIC EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND LIKE I SAID, I HAVE A NUMBER OF PERSONAL RESERVATIONS WOULD PROBABLY AREN'T AS GERMANE I MEAN KIND OF THEIR STANDARD ONES LIKE PRIVACY.

AND I ACTUALLY DO HAVE ONE IN TERMS OF EROSION IN BETWEEN.

I MEAN, I'M GOING TO ADD PROBABLY 8 TO 10 NEIGHBORS ON MY SIDE.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE SLOPE, IT'S A LITTLE THE SOIL I KNOW IS FOR A FACT LOOSE.

BUT I'M JUST KIND OF WANTING TO SEE WHAT THE PLAN IS TO MITIGATE KIND OF THE EROSION CONTROL IN BETWEEN.

FATHER OF FOUR I ALSO WORK FROM HOME, SO I MEAN, IT'S NOT IDEAL TO BE LIVING NEAR A CONSTRUCTION SITE, BUT AGAIN, IT'S NOT AS GERMANE BUT TO THE POINT OF SAFETY.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A DEATH DEFYING FEAT SOMETIMES TAKING A LEFT ONTO CHEEK SPARGER ROAD DOWN TO THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE.

SO I GUESS LET ME JUST PREFACE ALL THIS WITH LIKE, I DON'T OPPOSE HAVING NEIGHBORS WHATSOEVER.

MY DAUGHTERS ASK ME, WHY WE DON'T HAVE NEIGHBORS RIGHT NOW? SO LIKE I SAID, I WELCOME THAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE CAN KIND OF SOLVE IT FOR GOOD, IF THERE'S A WAY TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY ALONG HOW WE COULD DEVELOP SOMETHING LONG, CHEEK SPARGER THAT COULD ACTUALLY HAVE AN INGRESS AND EGRESS.

BUT LIKE I SAID, THIS PLAN AS IS ISN'T BAD.

OBVIOUSLY, IF I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PRIVACY ASPECT OF THAT LOOKS LIKE.

BUT AGAIN, TO THE POINT EARLIER ON THE SAFETY PIECE, IT IS SOMEWHAT OF A TASK KIND OF MANEUVERING ON A CHEEK SPARGER.

AND THERE IS KIND OF SOME CONCERN PERSONALLY IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT.

I MEAN, I HAVE CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE PARK IN FRONT OF MY LOT ALL THE TIME AND I GOT TO GET IN AND OUT OF MY HOUSE.

BUT I CAN IMAGINE THAT CAN BE SOMEWHAT EXACERBATED WHEN THE BUILDING STARTS.

SO WHAT IS THE MITIGATION PLAN OR THE, YOU KNOW, THE RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN THERE? SO THAT IS IT FOR ME.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE IT.

ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? AS THEY SAY IN THE AUCTION GOING GOING GONE.

IT IS 6:28.

I CLOSE OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING.

YOU MENTIONED YOU'VE GOT THAT 35 FOOT.

ARE YOU SURE THAT COLLEYVILLE IS GOING TO BE WIDENING THERE AND NOT ON THE OTHER SIDE? YOU KNOW THAT FROM TALKING TO COLLEYVILLE OFFICIALS OR THAT'S JUST AN ASSUMPTION OR? I'VE NOT TALKED TO THE COLLEYVILLE OFFICIALS ABOUT THAT, BUT I HAVE PICKED THAT UP FROM PREVIOUS THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPERS AND THEIR WIDENING AND THE PLANS THAT THEY WERE GIVEN.

SO I'M JUST SAYING, I THINK IT'D BE PRUDENT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE ALREADY RESERVING THAT 35 FEET.

AND LET'S SAY THEY WIDEN ON THE OTHER SIDE.

[00:30:02]

LET'S JUST SAY, COULD THAT 35 FEET BE USED AS A, YOU KNOW, TO GO OFF OF THERE? THERE WE'VE HAD COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE BASICALLY SAYING AND ALSO OTHER COMMISSIONERS, WE LIVE IN BEDFORD, WE DRIVE IT.

WE DON'T NEED ANYBODY YOU KNOW GETTING KILLED THERE.

YOU ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY YOU MENTIONED THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

YOU USED THE FIRST NAME OF JIM.

YOU DIDN'T GO ANY FARTHER.

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH.

ARE YOU TALKING TO THE PASTOR OR ARE YOU TALKING? JIM GRIFFIN.

OKAY. THE FORMER MAYOR OF BEDFORD.

SO YOU'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM ABOUT POSSIBLE INGRESS AND EGRESS OFF OF CENTRAL.

BUT THAT'S JUST A DISCUSSION, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I HAVE NOT HAD A DISCUSSION WITH JIM, OF POSSIBLE INGRESS EGRESS JUST ABOUT THE ACQUISITION OF HIS LAND FOR AND NOT THE LAND THAT TOUCHES NOT THE LAND THAT TOUCHES CENTRAL EITHER.

THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

AS A DEVELOPER, I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW DIRECTLY FROM THE COLLEYVILLE OFFICIALS WHERE THEY PLAN TO WIDEN THE ROAD.

I KNOW YOU'VE SET 35 FEET ASIDE.

IF THAT 35 FEET WAS NOT PART OF THEIR WIDENING, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS GOING FORWARD, I WOULD THINK OR TURNING OFF.

I'M JUST MAKING A STATEMENT.

I'M NOT A TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

AND IN NO DISRESPECT, THOSE I WOULD THINK WILL BE HANDLED IN PLATTING AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

I AGREE. AND NOT THIS IS JUST LIKE THE LOT SIZE WE MAY GET TO LESS LOTS.

SO IF WE HAD TO HAVE 60, WE HAVE TO HAVE 60.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST THAT'S WE'RE JUST SPECULATING LIKE FOR THE LOT SIZE AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY.

SO DRC RECOMMENDED THAT WE DO THAT.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED.

SO THAT INFORMATION IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED WHEN WE COME BEFORE THE PUBLIC WITH THE ACTUAL PLAN.

RIGHT. AND I'M TRYING TO BE FAIR TO YOU, TOO, SO YOU DON'T GET INTO THE NEXT STEP AND YOU GO, OH, SHOOT.

OKAY, FAIR ENOUGH.

OKAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WELL, BEFORE WE WEAR JOHN SHOES OUT, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FOR OUR DEVELOPER? [LAUGHTER] WE'RE GIVING A LITTLE EXTRA WORKOUT TODAY IN THE AIR CONDITIONING.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD STUFF. GOOD QUESTIONS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

COMMISSIONERS ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? SO HERE AGAIN, WE'RE ENTERTAINING A CHANGE FROM R-1500 TO R-7500 FOR THESE LOTS WITH THIS SUBMITTAL . DO I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I'LL MAKE A MOTION WE CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING REZONING REQUESTS FOR FIVE ACRES LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS TRACTS 2D01 AND 2D OF THE TEETER GARRET SURVEY ABSTRACT 1537 FROM R-15,000 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS TO R-7500 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON 7500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

THIS PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHEEK SPARGER ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET EAST OF CENTRAL AND CHEEK SPARGER ROAD, INTERSECTION COMMONLY KNOWN AS 2416 CHEEK SPARGER ROAD.

CASE NUMBER PZ ZC-2022-50049.

I MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND. WES? YOU WANT US TO? OLD FASHIONED WAY, PLEASE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO APPROVE? OPPOSED? ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUS VOTE.

[3. Consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning request for 2.460 acres legally described as Lots 42 & 43 of the J.R. Murphy Addition from Single-Family Detached R-15,000 to R-6,500 with minimum lot size of 6,500 square feet. The property is generally located north of Bedford Road, south of Harwood Road and to the west of Murphy Drive, commonly known as 2511 Murphy Drive. (PZ-PUD-2022-50048)]

ON TO ITEM THREE.

THIS IS CASE PZ-PUD-2022-50048.

THE REZONING REQUEST FOR THE 2.46 ACRES AT LOT 42 AND 43 OF THE J.R.

MURPHY ADDITION.

REPORT FROM STAFF. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS, I THINK EVERYBODY'S FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH THIS CASE.

WE AT YOUR LAST MEETING, WE CONDUCTED OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

AT THE LAST MEETING, THE REQUEST WAS FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT.

IT WAS FOR A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 5500 SQUARE FEET.

AT THAT MEETING YOU CONDUCTED YOUR PUBLIC HEARING, YOU GAVE THE APPLICANT YOUR INITIAL CONCERNS AND SOME FEEDBACK.

SINCE THAT TIME, THE APPLICANT HAS COME BACK TO STAFF AND REVISE THEIR APPLICATION TO BE A A STRAIGHT ZONING OR A CONVENTIONAL ZONING REQUEST, WHICH IS NOW WE'RE GOING FROM R-15 AND 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS TO R-65, WHICH IS A MINIMUM OF 6,500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.
