CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER DISCUSS ACTION ON A REQUEST TO REZONE 170 PLUS ACRES LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE AND SOUTH SIDES OF EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD, 1,645 SQ FT EAST OF FUTURE LEONARD AVENUE FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES, MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES BUILT TO SINGLE-FAMILY, 72, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTS, DISTRICT, SINGLE-FAMILY, 60, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTS, DISTRICT AND SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTS, DISTRICT ZERO LOT LINES, AND MULTIFAMILY MF TO MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY WITH MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.THE APPLICANT IS LINDOW APPAREL INCORPORATED, 335 VALLEY TO INCORPORATED, MR. ARTABELLY.
>> AGAIN, WE'RE ALL SELF DWELLING DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
THE REQUESTS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, AS WAS INDICATED, IS ON THE NORTH SIDE AS WELL AS A SOUTH SIDE OF EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD.
THE REQUEST IS TO MODIFY EXISTING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THE PROPERTY IS ZONED PLAIN DEVELOPMENT.
IT WAS PART OF ANNA RANCH THAT WAS INITIALLY ZONED BACK IN 2007.
AGAIN, IT CONTAINED A VAST AREA OF LAND,
[00:05:04]
IF YOU RECALL, A PORTION OF ANNA RANCH.ANNA RANCH PHASE 2 AND ANNA RANCH PHASE 3, THERE WAS A ZONER REQUEST A FEW YEARS BACK IN WHICH THE APPLICANT, AGAIN MODIFIED THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT TO FIT THE NEEDS OF TODAY'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT.
AGAIN, THE REQUESTS BEFORE YOU, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO AMEND THESE ZONING TO ALLOW FOR MULTI-FAMILY HIGH DENSITY, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 25 UNITS PER ACRE, AS WELL AS SF72, SF60 AND SFZ LOTS.
BASED UPON THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDED, WE DID INCLUDE STIPULATIONS THAT REQUIRED A MINIMUM 91 LOTS FOR THE SF72, AS WELL AS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LOTS FOR THE SFZ, WHICH WOULD BE 316.
AGAIN, IT'S A LITTLE ANTIQUATED.
IT WAS ZONED SFD, WHICH WERE 70 BY 120S, AS WELL AS SFA, WHICH WAS 55 BY 110.
IT WAS ROUGHLY AN EVEN SPLIT INSIDE THE STAFF REPORT, YOU'LL SEE THERE WAS SOME MAPS THAT CLEARLY IDENTIFIED THOSE LOCATIONS OF WHERE THEY WOULD BE ALIGNED, EXCUSE ME, WHERE THEY'LL BE LOCATED.
ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH ANNA RANCH WAS THAT THE ZONING WAS BASED UPON A THOROUGHFARE ALIGNMENT THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS TODAY.
THEREFORE, IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE ACTUALLY FUTURE LEONARD IS AS WELL AS EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD.
AS PART OF THIS ZONING REQUEST, IT ALSO UPDATES THE CONCEPT PLAN TO MATCH THAT OF THE FUTURE THOROUGHFARE PLAN SHOWING THE EAST-WEST ROAD WAY, WHICH IS EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD.
AS PART OF THE PROPOSED ZONING, STAFF HAD WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT, THE APPLICANT SIMILAR TO ANNA RANCH PHASE 2, THEY'RE PROPOSING A 30-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG BOTH THE NORTH SIDE AS WELL AS THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD.
THIS ENHANCED LANDSCAPE, ROUGHLY IT'S A 30-FOOT BUFFER.
IT'S GOING TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE ENHANCED SIDEWALKS AS WELL AS HIKING BIKE TRAILS WHERE THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM OF AN EIGHT-FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK IN THIS LOCATION, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL PLANTINGS OF TREES.
ALSO, AS PART OF THIS PROPOSAL ON THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN, THERE IS AN ENHANCED, BASICALLY EAST-WEST CONNECTION THROUGH THE FLOODPLAIN THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WILL BE ROUGHLY A 12-FOOT WIDE HIKING BIKE TRAIL.
THE INTENT OF THIS EAST-WEST CONNECTION IS TO EVENTUALLY CONNECT THROUGH AND ACROSS PHASE 2, AS WELL AS ANNA CROSS PHASE 1, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY GET THE SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN OVER TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AS WELL AS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AS WELL AS THE MIDDLE-SCHOOL WITHOUT HAVING TO TRAVERSE EAST FOSTER CROSSING AS WELL AS LEONARD.
WE'LL KEEP THEM ALL INTERIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT.
LESS MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, LESS AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN CONFLICTS.
ONE OF THE KEY ASPECTS THOUGH, OF THIS REQUEST IS THE APPLICANT, RATHER THAN PAYING THE FEE IN LIEU OF DEDICATION, THEY'VE IDENTIFIED A SIGNIFICANT AREA WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING TO DEDICATE TO THE CITY TO MEET THE PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENT, WHICH IS ONE ACRE PER 50 LOTS.
THEY'RE ROUGHLY PROPOSING TO DEDICATE OVER 30 ACRES OF LAND THAT WOULD BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY THIS AREA.
AGAIN, THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE SOME CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS OF WHAT THEY'RE CONSIDERING AND THEY'VE HAD SOME PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PARK'S BOARD.
IF THIS IS TO BE APPROVED, THE ZONING REQUEST WOULD ULTIMATELY BE DETERMINED DURING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT PHASE.
PER OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, IT STATES THAT AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL, IF THERE ARE PARKLAND IMPROVEMENTS OR PARKLAND DEDICATION THAT INITIALLY GOES TO THE PARK'S BOARD FOR A RECOMMENDATION AND THEN CITY COUNCIL TAKES THAT RECOMMENDATION AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL, WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO ACCEPT IT AS WELL AS ANY IMPROVEMENTS AND LINE ITEMS ASSOCIATED WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE.
AGAIN, THAT 30 ACRES, IT'S JUST NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, BUT I'VE ALSO IDENTIFIED ROUGHLY THREE ACRES THAT WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR POTENTIALLY FUTURE CIVIC USES WHICH, WHO KNOWS WHEN WE'LL EVER NEED A FIRE STATION NUMBER 3 OR FIRE STATION NUMBER 4 OR POLICE OR ANY TYPE OF MUNICIPAL COMPLEX DOWN IN THAT AREA? A SMALL MUNICIPAL BUILDING THAT IS, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT COULD BE IN 10 YEARS? HERE'S THE CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
[00:10:01]
THERE IS A MIXTURE OF LOTS.THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO INTERMINGLE THEM SOMEWHAT WHERE YOU HAVE THE 40S CENTRAL AS WELL AS THAT IT'S TO BE OUTLINED BY THE 50S AND 60S.
YOU CAN SEE THERE IN GREEN IS THE AREA IDENTIFIED AS THE OPEN SPACE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BEING PROPOSED TO BE DEDICATED.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING MF-2-BASED ZONING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST FOSTER CROSSING ROAD.
IF YOU RECALL, THERE IS A ZONING THAT IS APPROVED ON JUST EAST OF THIS MF-2 PROPERTY.
THE APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT.
THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING TO MODIFY ANY STANDARDS THAN WHAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY MODIFIED, PARKING, ONE-AND-A-HALF PER ONE BEDROOM, TWO FOR TWO-BEDROOM.
THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO ALLOW SOME MODIFICATIONS TO SOME OF THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS.
CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, MF-2 REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE A MASONRY WALL BASICALLY BORDERING THE DEVELOPMENT, THE APPLICANTS TRYING TO SOFTEN THAT WHERE THEY WOULD BE PROPOSING SOME IRRIGATED LANDSCAPING, SOME ROD IRON FENCING, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
BUT THEN ALSO THERE IS THE ABILITY, IF THEY SO CHOOSE TO PUT UP THE MASONRY, IT WAS JUST MORE OF AN OPTION THAT WE WERE GIVING THEM.
BUT AGAIN, ANY OF THE PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY STANDARDS, THEY'RE STILL MEETING THE DENSITY REQUIREMENT OF THE 25 UNITS PER ACRE.
THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK TO THIS FURTHER, BUT AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE NOT A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPER.
CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW THERE ARE UTILITY, THERE IS ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH SEWER AND WATER IN THIS AREA.
AT THIS TIME THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT COULDN'T BE BUILT OUT SO THERE'LL NEED TO BE SOME SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN ORDER FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY TO BE BUILT.
HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THAT A PORTION COULD BE SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT, WHICH IS ROUGHLY THE 11 UNITS PER ACRE THAT WE TYPICALLY SEE.
AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE NOT SURE HOW THE MULTI-FAMILY WILL BE BUILT OUT OR EVEN WHEN IT WILL BE BUILT OUT.
THEIR PRIMARY FOCUS IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AREA.
LOOKING THROUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANNA2050, THERE ARE A FEW POLICY STATEMENTS IN WHICH THIS PROPOSAL DOES CHECKOFF.
ONE THAT WE'RE DIVERSIFYING A MIXTURE OF HOUSING IS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, ENCOURAGING THIS DIVERSITY AND A RANGE OF HOUSING OPTIONS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS, DEVELOP A COMPLETE TRAIL NETWORK SYSTEM, AS WELL AS BASICALLY A PLACEMAKING POLICY WHERE WE'RE DEVELOPING PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS TO BE UTILIZED BY JUST NOT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT BY THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.
IF THE COMMISSION VOTES IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST, THE ZONING AMENDMENT, IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL, THEN IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED WITHIN STAFF'S REPORT.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER IN SUPPORT AS WELL AS TWO IN OPPOSITIONS TO THE ZONING AMENDMENT.
I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, AS IT RELATES TO MY STAFF REPORT.
ALSO, THE APPLICANT IS HERE WITH A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
HOPEFULLY A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
>> DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
>> I DO. ROB, YOU MENTIONED THE SEWER AND WATER.
>> IS THERE A TIME FRAME WHEN THAT WILL BE COMPLETED?
>> AT THIS POINT, CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THE APPLICANT IS WORKING WITH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AS TO IDENTIFY WHAT CAPACITY IS AVAILABLE AND IT'S BEEN DETERMINED THAT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THE CAPACITY IS ENOUGH TO SERVE THIS SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THE FUTURE PHASES OF ANNA CROSSING BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE ENTITLEMENTS, ALSO WE'RE ABLE TO BUILD.
BUT AT THIS TIME THE MULTIFAMILY, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE IMPROVEMENTS OR AGREEMENTS MADE WITH THE CITY OF MELISSA TO TAKE ON WHETHER IT'D BE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY FOR THE SEWER OR FOR US TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY ITSELF TO HELP FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT AS WE MOVE FURTHER EAST IN THAT WAY.
>> THE ONLY PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'LL BE IMPACTED OR DELAYED, IT WILL BE THE MULTI-FAMILY PORTION OF IT.
CLEARLY THEY'VE GOT WATER TAPS, SEWER TAPS THERE, IT'S CAPACITY SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PORTION SOUTH OF ANNA CROSS.
>> IT'S ACTUALLY THE CAPACITY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTIRE REGION.
CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW THE CITY HAS A CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF MELISSA, OF HOW MUCH THAT WE BASICALLY FACILITATE OR HOW MUCH THEY TAKE IN FOR OUR SEWER CAPACITY.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT EXCEEDING THOSE THRESHOLDS.
[00:15:03]
THEN ENSURING THAT ANY EXISTING ENTITLEMENTS THAT WE DO HAVE FOR THIS AREA BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING SOME SIGNIFICANT GROWTH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST FOSTER CROSSING, ENSURING THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH CAPACITY FOR ALL OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS WHICH WE'VE DETERMINED AND EVEN IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY OF MELISSA, WE DO.>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO? I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:15 PM.
DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION?
>> YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS EVENING.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO KEEP THIS BRIEF, I ALREADY GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE I TURNED IN 46 SLIDES.
I'LL TRY TO RUN THROUGH SOME OF THESE.
8214 WESTCHESTER SWEET 900 DALLAS, TEXAS 75225.
I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.
IT'S ALL NEW FACES, I'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT FOUR YEARS FOR P AND Z MEETING.
I'VE BEEN TO A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEETINGS, BUT NOT P AND Z, SO WELCOME ALL.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR BACKGROUND, WE'RE SKORBURG COMPANY, PRIVATELY OWNED, DALLAS BASED DEVELOPMENT COMPANY.
BEEN IN THE AREA DFW FOR 40 YEARS, WE'VE DONE OVER 140 DEVELOPMENTS IN 30 DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES THROUGHOUT DALLAS, FORT WORTH.
CURRENTLY, WE HAVE ABOUT 25 CURRENT PROJECTS ACTIVELY IN EITHER DEVELOPMENT OR BUILD-OUT.
WE HAVE A REPUTATION FOR BUILDING HIGH-QUALITY, LONG-LASTING COMMUNITIES.
OUR PROJECTS RANGE FROM SMALL INFILL TOWN HOME PROJECTS, FIVE ACRES, UP TO MASTER PLANS.
I'LL GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THOSE, THAT YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH.
OUR CURRENT PROJECTS IN ANNA OR ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
I ACTUALLY STARTED SKORBURG ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE ANNA TOWN SQUARE BROKE GROUND AND RAN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THAT EARLY ON.
PECAN GROVE HELP FINISH THE EVERYTHING AFTER PHASE 1.
I'VE BEEN INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN ALL THIS.
I'M GOING GO THROUGH THE SEWER A LITTLE BIT TO UNDERSTAND THAT, A LITTLE BIT.
I HAVE SOME BIG SLIDES ON THAT LATER.
I BELIEVE YOU ALL KNOW ANNA'S TOWN SQUARE, IT'S ABOUT 600 ACRES.
WE HAVE MIXED BETWEEN 600 ACRES OF SINGLE-FAMILY,120 ACRES ARE MIXED USE.
OUR BUILDERS IN THERE WINDSOR HOMES ARE BUILDING COMPANY, HORTON MEGATEL, PULTE, AND PACESETTER CURRENTLY BUILDING THERE.
PECAN GROVE, AGAIN, ONE OF OUR FIRST COMMUNITIES WE STARTED IN ANNA.
I THINK WE BROKE GROUND ON THAT IN 2007 OF THE FIRST PHASE THEN FINISHED OUT IN THE LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
OTHER MASTERPLAN PROJECTS WE HAVE THROUGHOUT DFW, STONE CREEK AND ROCKWALL, IT'S ABOUT 400 ACRES IN NORTH ROCKWALL, ABOUT 918 LOTS, ANYWHERE FROM 6,000 SQUARE FOOT TO 1800.
AGAIN, BUILDERS OVER THERE WERE MEGATEL, DREES, PACESETTER, GRAND, ISLAND, HOMES OVER THERE 500S TO 800S.
BREEZY HILL-ROCKWALL AS WELL, ABOUT ANOTHER 400 ACRES.
LET'S GO THROUGH THESE QUICKLY.
THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR ENTRY FEATURES WE'VE DONE THROUGHOUT THE AREA.
THE FIRST PICTURE YOU SAW ON THE FIRST SLIDE WAS ANNA TOWN SQUARE [NOISE].
THIS IS THOMPSON POND UP FRONT.
[NOISE] AS ROSS WENT OVER THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY IS JUST NORTH OF THAT COLLIN COUNTY OUTER LOOP ON EAST FOSTER CROSSING.
IT STRADDLES EAST FOSTER CROSSING EAST OF THE FUTURE LEONARD EXTENSION.
THIS SLIDE SHOWS OUR SURROUNDING LAND USES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, TO EAST OF US, WE HAVE AN ETJ, A COUPLE OF COMMERCIAL USES, CHAPMAN CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN ELECTRIC SUBSTATION, GCC AND ONCOR.
TO OUR SOUTH, WE HAVE AN ONCOR SUBSTATION SOUTH OF THE MULTIFAMILY AND JUST DIRECTLY SOUTH OF US IS THE NELSON BROTHERS BATCH PLANT.
TO THE WEST OF US, WE HAVE ANNA RANCH PHASE 1A THROUGH C. WE HAVE FUTURE AND A RANCH PHASE 2 OF THE MULTIFAMILY 2, AND THEN SOME SINGLE-FAMILY '60S, 50-FOOT LOTS THERE, AND THEN TOWN HOME LOTS.
I PROPOSED ZONING AS ROSS MENTIONED BEFORE, WE BELIEVE IT SERVES AS A COMPLIMENTARY LAND USE TO THE SURROUNDING AREA.
GOOD TRANSITIONAL LAND USE FROM SOME OF THE MORE INTENSE USES, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON THE COLLIN COUNTY AT LOOP.
WE HAVE POWER STATIONS, SOME COMMERCIAL, SOME INDUSTRIAL TO THE SOUTH OF US.
[00:20:01]
I THINK IT WAS PHASE 2 OR 3.AT THE SAME IDEA TO TRANSITION THOSE USES UP TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY, USING COMMERCIAL MULTIFAMILY SOME HIGHER DENSITY TOWN HOMES AND 50-FOOT LOTS.
VERY SIMILAR TO THE PAST REZONING.
AS ROSS MENTIONED, I'LL GO INTO THIS IN MORE DETAIL.
WE PLAN TO CENTRALIZE PARK THIS LOCATION.
OUR CURRENT REQUIREMENT FOR THIS SUBDIVISION IS ABOUT 17 ACRES.
WE INCREASE THAT TO 30 ACRES THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF EARLY ON, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SINCE PROBABLY NOVEMBER, WENT TO COUNSEL WORK SESSION WORK WITH STAFF IDENTIFIED THIS AREA AS FOR A REGIONAL PARK.
AND THAT GREW TO ABOUT 30 ACRES THROUGH CONVERSATIONS FOR THE IDEAS THAT WE HAD FOR THE SPACE.
I'LL SHOW YOU THOSE IN A SECOND, AND AS ROSS JUST WENT OVER, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THEM ALL AGAIN, IT MEETS MANY POINTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
CONCEPT PLAN OVERVIEW. AS WE WENT THROUGH.
IT'S ACCOMMODATING FOR SEVEN POINT ACCESS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. SURROUNDING US.
WE HAVE A FUTURE 12-FOOT TRAIL CONNECTION FROM OUR EAST BOUNDARY TO OUR WEST BOUNDARY WITH THE INTENTION OF GOING THROUGH THE PHASES OF ANNA RANCH THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT TO MEET OVER TO THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE'VE INCREASED THE BUFFER ALONG THESE FOSTER CROSSING WITH A 10-FOOT TRAIL, 30-FOOT BUFFER, AND IT'LL BE A MEANDERING TRAIL, MUCH LIKE THE ONE YOU SEE ON SHARP STREET IN OUR TOWN SQUARE.
ONE OF THE REQUESTS OF COUNCIL WAS TO WITH PHASE 1 IS TO FINISH THESE FOSTER CROSSING BOTH SIDES.
WE PLAN TO PUT THAT IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PHASE 1, THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH SIDE, ALL OF THESE FOSTER CROSSING WILL BE CONSTRUCTED FROM OUR BOUNDARIES.
PARK IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH PHASE 1, WE'VE GONE THROUGH SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH PARK.
WE'VE GOT A CONCEPT PLAN, AND THAT COULD CHANGE WHEN WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH THEM ON THE 15TH.
THAT COULD CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME IT GETS ACCEPTED.
BUT ONE OF THE AGREEMENTS WE'VE MADE WITH PARK SO FAR IS THAT WE WILL HAVE THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS OR THERE'S PLAYGROUNDS, SOCCER FIELDS, TENNIS COURTS, SOME THINGS WE'RE PROPOSING BEFORE THE FIRST BUILDING PERMIT IS GIVEN; SO THOSE WILL BE DONE UPFRONT.
AGAIN, THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE PROPOSE TO COUNSEL.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT 556 SINGLE-FAMILY, THIS IS JUST A SINGLE-FAMILY SIDE, 556 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS.
PREVIOUSLY, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH WERE ABOUT 550 LOTS.
SINGLE FAMILIES HAS NOT INCREASED.
IT'S MORE GATHERED DENSITY DONE 30 ACRES APART, BUT WE GATHERED DENSITY BY DECREASE IN LOT SIZE.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GATHER THE DENSITY AND INCREASE THE OPEN SPACE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE PARK.
IT'S ABOUT OVER ABOUT 30% OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY ACREAGE.
AS A PARK, WE'VE GOT 316 40-FOOT LOTS, 149, 50S AND 91,60S.
AS ROSS MENTIONED, WE HAVE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF 40S AND A MINIMUM NUMBER OF 60 FOOT LOTS, SO THAT IN MIX MIGHT SHIFT A LITTLE BIT.
MULTIFAMILY. AS ROSS MENTIONED, WE DON'T HAVE PLANS WERE A SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPER AT HEART.
WE HAVE ZONE MANY PROPERTIES WITH MULTI-FAMILY, BUT OVER THE YEARS WE USUALLY PUT A BASE ZONING ON IT SO THAT WE CAN THE MARKET DECIDE WHAT'S GOING TO COME IN THE FUTURE, MUCH LIKE ANNA TOWN SQUARE, EACH OF THOSE PIECES CAME BACK THROUGH PMZ, THROUGH COUNCIL WITH CONCEPT PLANS, AND WERE SCRUTINIZED, VOTED ON AND HAD A CONCEPT PLAN AND PLAT APPROVED.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS THE SAME PROCESS, WE'RE DOING THE BASE ZONING AND WE WOULD BE BACK BEFORE PMZ AND COUNSEL WITH WHATEVER CONCEPT PLAN COMES AT A LATER DATE.
AGAIN, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, THE CONSTRUCTION OFF-SITE, SEWER EXTENSION MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE THE MULTI-FAMILY STARTS.
THAT'S ANOTHER PART THAT WILL KEEP THAT MULTIFAMILY A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.
HERE'S A CONCEPT OF THE PARK, WE'VE GONE OVER THIS ONLY ONCE WITH THE PARK STAFF WE HOPE TO PRESENT THIS AT PARK'S BOARD AND GET SOME MORE FEEDBACK.
THE PARK IS PLUS MINUS 30 ACRES.
THIS IS JUST ONE SECTION OF IT, IT EXTENDS OVER TO THE EAST TO OUR BOUNDARY.
YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A LINE FOR THE 12TH TRAIL THAT GOES ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF IT.
DOES THIS THING POINTS ON YOUR SCREENS OR NOT? THERE'S A POND UP IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER,
[00:25:04]
WE'VE WALKED THIS WHOLE TRAIL SYSTEM, THE WHOLE WOODS THROUGH THERE, FOUND A NICE POND IN THERE AND WE PLAN TO PUT THE PLAYGROUND BY THE POND.NICE CLEARING WITH A PARKING LOT, SOME TENNIS COURTS OF A VALLEY.
I'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF THE NEXT SPACE.
ONE OF THE THINGS PARK SAYS THAT WAS MISSING WAS JUST SOME OPEN FIELDS FOR SOCCER FOR OPEN FIELD PLAY AND SO THIS AREA COULD FIT THREE SMALLER SOCCER FIELDS, ONE LARGE OR THAT COULD TURN INTO FIVE SOCCER FIELDS OR IF IT TURNS INTO FOOTBALL FIELDS, THAT'S THE OPEN SPACE FOR MULTI-USE SPORTS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WERE DESIRED TO THE SOUTH WEST CORNER IS YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT IN THIS OUTLINE, BUT THERE'S A BOX OVER THERE ABOUT THREE ACRES THAT CAN BE SET ASIDE FOR FUTURE CIVIC USE.
AGAIN, PLAN TO HAVE ALL THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
ALL THESE PARK IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE DONE WITH PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTION.
THE PARKING LOTS, THE PAVILION, THE TENNIS COURTS, THE PLAYGROUND WOULD ALL COME IN WITH PHASE 1 AND BE OPEN AND COMPLETE BEFORE THE FIRST BUILDING PERMITS ARE ISSUED.
OUR ESTIMATES RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE GONNA BE ABOUT $1.6-2 MILLION FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THIS PART AND THE PARKS COMMITTEE DID VOTE ON THE 23RD TO ACCEPT THE DEDICATION, BUT AGAIN, THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH COUNCIL TO BECOME OFFICIAL.
HOPEFULLY WE HAVE MORE TIME TO WORK AND GET A WORKING PLAN WITH PARKS AND AGREEMENT ON THE IMPROVEMENTS.
SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WE PLAN JUST SOME PICTURES OF THEM, PICKLEBALL, TENNIS COURTS, AND LARGE PLAYGROUND WITH RANGES, WE DON'T WANT TO DO JUST ONE PLAYGROUND THAT HAS FOR LITTLE KIDS WERE LOOKING AT ENLARGE ONE FOR MULTI-GENERATIONAL USE.
IT'S HOPED TO PUT IT IN THE TREES FOR SOME NATURAL SHADE, KEEP A LOT OF THE NATURAL SHADE IN THE WOODS THERE, PEDESTRIAN WALKING PAST NATURE TRAILS, A PAVILION WITH RESTROOMS UP NEAR THE PLAYGROUND IN THE TENNIS COURTS.
AGAIN, FOCUSED ON PRESERVING NATURAL OPEN SPACES.
THIS IS THE POND, NOT TO DO A LITTLE CLEAN OUT OF IT, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A NICE VIEW AND THERE'S AN OPEN SPACE THAT ACTUALLY FROM THAT POND LOOKING BACK IS FITS PERFECTLY FOR THE PLAYGROUND.
ONTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CONFUSING DIAGRAM WE WILL NEED A LIFT STATION AT THIS SITE.
CURRENTLY OUR CAPACITY IS FOR JUST FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY, AS ROSS SAID, WERE TO PUT THE LAST STATION ON OUR SITE THAT HOPEFULLY CAN SERVE MORE THAN US AND OUR REGION AND THEN WITH A PUMP OVER TWO, WHAT IS INITIALLY WAS CLEMENTS CREEK THAT WAS BUILT WITH ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
THAT'S WHERE THE SEWER GOES NOW AND THAT'S WHERE THE 3MGDS WITH MELISSA AS AGREED UPON, WE WILL GO OVER THERE WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY, BUT AS THE MULTIFAMILY COMES ON AT A LATER DATE, WE'RE WORKING WITH STAFF AND ON AN AGREEMENT TO EXTEND THAT ORANGE LINE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MELISSA, THAT WILL ACTUALLY OPEN UP THIS WESTERN SIDE OF ANNA MORE FULLY TO EXTEND THAT SEWER AND TAKE SOME OF THAT CAPACITY BACK OFF OF CLEMENTS CREEK.
IT'LL GO BACK OUT OF CLEMENTS CREEK OPEN UP CAPACITY THERE AND BRING THIS DOWN TO MELISSA.
ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE, WE'D BE BUILDING FOSTER CROSSING, EASTERN WEST WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE FIRST PHASE AND THEN HALF OF COUNTY ROAD 418 WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH A MULTIFAMILY COMES ON BOARD AND THEN A 12 INCH WATERLINE CONNECTION WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL.
THAT'S THE GIST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE JUST WENT OVER ALL THAT HERE.
SOME REPRESENTATIVE PRODUCT FROM OURSELVES, WINDSOR HOMES AND OTHER BUILDERS THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH, FOR 50-FOOT PRODUCT, 60-FOOT PRODUCT, AND THEN INTERIORS AND THEN WE'RE INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE AGGRESSIVE CITY WILL DO IT HAPPEN DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT, I COUNSEL FOR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.
THEN THAT IS MY PRESENTATION, I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION.
>> ON THIS MAP THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW, WHERE IS THAT THREE ACRE DEDICATED AREA?
>> IT'S BLURRY ON THIS MAP HERE.
>> IN THIS AREA, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS PLENTY OF AREA IN THE PART IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE
[00:30:02]
THAT ADDITIONAL SEPARATION OF THAT DEDICATION FOR PARK LAND.>> BUT THAT'S THE AREA THEY WANTED TO DO THE CIVIL.
AGAIN, THERE'S NO TIME FRAME, THERE'S PROPOSALS AT THIS TIME WE JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT THERE WAS AREA THAT WAS SET ASIDE FOR ADDITIONAL CIVIC USE.
BECAUSE ONCE IT'S DEDICATED FOR PARK LAND, THEY'LL ALWAYS BE PARK LANDS WE WANT ENSURE THERE IS THREE ACRES THAT IS SET ASIDE ANY OTHER MANNER.
>> ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.
>> YOU SAID THAT THERE WILL BE IMPROVEMENTS ON FOSTER CROSSING?
>> STARTING WHERE AN ENDING WHERE?
>> FROM OUR EASTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY TO OUR WESTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY.
THERE'S CURRENTLY ANOTHER PHASE OF ANNA RANCH TO OUR EAST AND I MIGHT GO BACK AND DO ONE OF THAT.
IF YOU SEE WHERE THE YELLOW LINE IS, THE EAST-WEST YELLOW LINE.
YES. FROM OUR EASTERN BOUNDARY TO OUR WESTERN BOUNDARIES WHERE WE'LL DO OUR IMPROVEMENTS.
>> UNLIKELY TO THE EAST OF US, ALL THE WAY OVER TO LEONARD AND A RANCH IN PLANNING NOW AND ENGINEERING FOR THAT FACE.
WE'LL CONNECT HIM WITH THEM SO WE SHOULD HAVE FULL ROAD OVER TO LEONARD.
>> APPARENTLY, AT THIS TIME TOO, THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN AS RELATES TO THE EXTENSION OF LEONARD, THE FUTURE LEONARD THAT WILL COME DOWN TO CONNECT TO THE OTHER ROUTE.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR THAT BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER OF RANCH 2, BASE 2, AND PHASE 3, THEY UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THAT ROADWAY IN ORDER TO FACILITATE-
>> WE'LL JUST GO TO YOUR HIGHWAY 5.
>> HIGHWAY 5 IS MUCH BUT THAT'S PART OF LEONARD TRAILS WHICH WE JUST RECENTLY [BACKGROUND] APPROVED THAT SHOWED CONSTRUCTION FROM LEONARD ALL THE WAY UP TO.
>> QUESTION ON THE PARKLAND DEDICATION.
OF THAT 30 ACRES, DO YOU KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEADS, HOW MUCH IS THAT AS FLOODPLAIN?
>> WE DON'T HAVE FLOODPLAIN THE AREA.
WE DO HAVE A STREAMTHAT'S PROTECTED, SO YOU HAVE A STREAM THAT RUNS, AS YOU CAN SEE, ZIGZAG THROUGH THERE.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LOT OF THE TRAIL ALONGSIDE OF IT.
THERE'S A STREAM THAT'S PROTECTED WATERS THE US IT'S JURISDICTIONAL STREAM.
WE CAN CROSS IT WITH TRAILS AS MANY TIMES AS WE NEED TO DO A PERMIT.
BUT THERE'S THAT AND THERE'S TWO WETLANDS, SO THE PONDS ARE WETLAND THAT NEEDS TO STAY AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER POLLEN TO THE SOUTH.
OVER TO THE EAST, YOU CAN SEE THOSE TWO LINES THERE.
THOSE ARE WETLANDS BUT THEY'RE BASICALLY BY THEIR BOUNDARY FOR THE POND, AND SO YOU GO OUT AND YOU GET A SURVEY OF LIMITS TO THE POND.
WHEN THE PONDS FULL, THEY CHECK AND SEE WHERE THE BOUNDARY OF IT IS AND THEN THOSE WILL BE WETLANDS, BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY NO FLOODPLAIN THROUGH THERE.
THE WHOLE AREA COULD BE CLEARED ON BOTH SIDES AND USED EXCEPT FOR THE STREAM BECAUSE STREAM CAN'T BE CHANGED.
>> YEAH. OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S SURPRISINGLY NO FLOODPLAIN.
>> TWO THINGS I DON'T SEE IN THIS PARK.
THERE'S NO SWIMMING POOL AND NO DOG PARK.
I'M THINKING MAYBE ONE OF THOSE PICKLEBALL CARDS WOULD BE A GOOD LOCATION FOR ONE OF THEM.
BUT THOSE TWO THINGS I DON'T SEE HERE AND I'M THINKING OF SUBDIVISION OF THIS SIZE WOULD CERTAINLY ENJOY SWIMMING POOL.
WAS THAT TALKED ABOUT AT ALL IN YOUR PLANNING?
>> WE HAVE ANOTHER MEETING ON THE 15TH WITH PARK, SO WE'RE TAKING THEIR LEAD ON WHAT ACTUALLY GOES IN THERE.
>> JOHN, ARE YOU GUYS DOING ANY TYPE OF AMENITY CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY OR IS THAT?
>> THE 38TH IN THE PARKS [OVERLAPPING].
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. OKAY. I DO HAVE SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ITEM.
[00:35:10]
>> GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO CONTRIBUTE. I AGREE WITH YOU.
IT'S A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF A DISCUSSION IN DESIGNING AN ANNA THAT'S DESIRABLE TODAY AND THIS COULD BE DESIRABLE IN THE FUTURE.
I ALSO WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR OUR [BACKGROUND] HOME.
LOVELY HOME AND WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LOT AND IF THIS DEVELOPMENT WE'RE FOLLOWING THROUGH ON LOT SIZES, THAT WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH THE 2050 PLAN.
I HAVE A DIFFERENT CONCLUSION ON THE 25TH PLAN AND WHAT YOU'VE HEARD.
IF IT WERE THEY WERE WINDSOR HOMES ON THE SUBURBAN BLOTS, WHICH WERE 7,500 SQUARE FOOT OR LARGER, I BELIEVE, TO HALF-ACRE, THIS WOULD BE AN AMAZING ASSET IN ANNA.
GOSH, IF YOU GUYS GO BACK TO THE BOARD AND CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN, THAT WOULD BE WHAT WE NEED.
THIS PLAN DOESN'T MATCH ANYTHING THAT I'VE HEARD.
THE 2050 PLAN OVERALL TALKS ABOUT A CORRIDOR FROM DOWNTOWN AND PERHAPS BETEWEEN HIGHWAY 5 AND 75 OF SMALLER LOT SIZES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES.
AS WE GET FURTHER AWAY FROM THAT CORRIDOR, THE LATS INCREASE AND THEY GET TO A SUBURBAN LOT SIZE AND THEN THEY GET TO AN ESTATE SIZE.
THAT'S THE DESIGN OF THIS 2050 PLAN.
HERE WE'RE MOVING FROM SOME BEAUTIFUL LOT SIZES IN THE ANNA TOWN SQUARE BACK TO SOME SMALLER LOT SIZES AGAIN, WHICH IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE 2050 PLAN.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WE TALK ABOUT INTEGRATION OF DIVERSITY WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
WHEN WE ADD UP THE NUMBER OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN RATIO TO SINGLE RESIDENTS HOMES, WE'RE NEARING A 5050 RATIO.
IS THAT DIVERSITY? I'M SO SORRY, BUT TO SUGGEST THAT SCOREBERG IN PLANNING ANNA TOWN SQUARE PLANNED FOR THAT DIVERSITY THEY DIDN'T.
FROM WHAT WE GOT FROM THE CITY WAS THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE SO MANY APARTMENTS AND ANNA TOWN SQUARES BECAUSE OF A MISHAP 20 YEARS AGO WITH THE ZONING TIGHT US TO MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
NOW WE'RE SUGGESTING SET IN THE SAME SCENARIO UP AGAIN WHERE WE HAVE WITH SCOREBERG A TRACK RECORD IN ANNA, NOT DEVELOPING THE LAND BUT SELLING THE LAND.
I FULLY ANTICIPATE WITHIN FIVE OR 10 YEARS, THIS 35 ACRE TRACK IS GOING TO BE SOLD TO SOMEBODY ELSE WANTED TO DEVELOP IT.
ARE WE GOING TO RECOMMEND TO OUR CITY COUNCIL THAT WE DID WHAT THEY DID 20 YEARS AGO AND DEDICATE THIS AS MULTIFAMILY WHEN IT COULD HAVE A MUCH BETTER USE? A RATIO OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, 750 APARTMENTS TO ABOUT 500 HOMES IF WE ADD THIS UP, MORE APARTMENTS THAN HOMES.
ANNA TOWN SQUARE, THE FULL BUILD-OUT IS LOOKING AT 1,700 OR 1,800 HOMES AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ROUGHLY 1,250 APARTMENTS IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE AND THAT DOESN'T COUNT THE SENIOR LIVING THAT'S BEING BUILT THERE.
THAT'S TAKEN BY ANNA IS SET UP TO BE A LOVELY COMMUNITY OF A GREAT CULTURAL CENTER AND TEARING APART OUT GOOD THINGS LIKE NUTS, MY THREE MINUTES, I GOT TO FINISH.
>> I'M SURE SOMEBODY ELSE WILL PICK IT UP AND I'M SURE YOU GET THE JEST.
THERE'S INCONSISTENCIES WITH WHAT YOU'VE HEARD.
>> THANK YOU. STEPHANIE DINGELL.
>> NOBODY WENT FIRST. I'M STEPHANIE DINGELL, 820 AND CORE, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE HERE TODAY.
I WAS GOING TO POINT OUT THE SAME THINGS AS FAR AS THE 2000 - 2004 ZONING REQUEST CHANGES.
IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU GUYS REMEMBER LAST YEAR WHAT A HEADACHE IT WAS FOR US, FOR P&Z, FOR THE CITY, AND FOR ALL OF US RETICENCE JUST GOING THROUGH THAT AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ZONING CHANGES AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEIR PROPERTY THERE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAD APARTMENT COMPLEX COMING OUT OF NOWHERE.
THIS HAPPENED 20 YEARS AGO AND NOW IT'S SETTING UP FOR THE SAME SITUATION, COMING UP, VENTURING OUT INTO THE FUTURE.
RIGHT NOW OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS GETTING OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY AND HAVING A SAFE EXITS.
AGAIN, PUSHING LEONARD THROUGH IS GOING TO HELP A LOT AND JUST PUTTING IN, WE HAVE FIVE NEW APARTMENT COMPLEXES COMING UP.
WELL, NOT FOUR NEW ONE. THERE'S ALREADY ONE THERE, BUT JUST ALL THAT DENSITY.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE HIGH DENSITY IN THERE.
OUR FOCUS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ON THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSIDER OUR PAST MISTAKES MOVING FORWARD.
LOOKING AT THIS, THE MULTIFAMILY BIG LOT RIGHT THERE, I WANT TO SAY IT'S LIKE THREE TIMES AS BIG AS THESE OTHER LOTS,
[00:40:02]
REALLY LOOK AT THAT ACREAGE AND STUFF AND WHAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING THERE.ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS TOO, THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL STORY.
WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE, THE MAPS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE DEVELOPERS AND FROM THE BUILDERS DID NOT MATCH THE 2050 PLAN, IT DID NOT MATCH THE CITY'S PLANS.
A LOT OF US WERE PROMISED TWO POOLS WITH THAT FIRST GROUP COMING THROUGH AND THEY'RE NOT THERE.
IT'S JUST A TRUST ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO RESIDENTS IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE AND THAT'S JUST MY CONCERN.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AN OVERALL, THIS IS AFFECTING THE CULTURE OF ANNA IT'S AFFECTING THE CULTURE OF THE SAFETY AND OUR HEALTH.
JUST HAVING THAT HEALTHY COMMUNITY OF WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AS A CITY. THANK YOU.
>> THE LAST SPEAKER CARD IS TANA BROWN.
>> GOOD EVENING. TANA BROWN, 2109 ADRIANA DRIVE, ANNA, TEXAS.
I ALSO LIVE IN THE BEAUTIFUL WINDSOR HOME WITH DR. BROWN THERE.
I'M GOING TO TOUCH ON THE SAME THINGS THAT GLENN AND STEPHANIE HAVE TOUCHED ON.
I LIVE IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE, WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR HOME, WE WERE SHOWN A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF WHAT WOULD BE IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
IT DID SHOW THE PALLADIUM APARTMENTS, AND I COULD CLEARLY SEE THOSE WERE THERE, BUT NONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE THERE, MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING, WE HAVE THE PALLADIUM, WHICH WAS ALREADY THERE, WHERE YOU ARE NOW HAVING BUILT 55 PLUS APARTMENTS, TWO COMPLEXES FROM THE GRAND.
SERENITY HAS NOT STARTED YET, BUT THEY WILL SOON.
THE MULTI-FAMILY AREA THAT THE GENTLEMAN IS TALKING ABOUT 30 ACRES WILL BE THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF SERENITY, WHICH I GET TO DRIVE BY ALL THE TIME, WHICH IS LOVELY NOW, BUT WILL SOON BE HIGH-RISE APARTMENTS.
HORTON HOMES, THEY'RE VERY SMALL, THAT BACK UP TO EAST FOSTER CROSSING.
I WOULD IMAGINE THE ZERO LOT LINE HOMES WILL END UP BEING JUST LIKE THOSE.
THEY ARE, IF NOT PURCHASED TO BE RENTAL HOMES, I'M SURE THAT THEY WILL BE.
WHICH CAUSES A LOT OF PARKING ON THE STREET.
I THINK THE PARK IS A GREAT IDEA, IF IT COMES TO FRUITION.
BECAUSE I'M SORRY, GENTLEMEN, BUT WE HAVE A TRUST ISSUE WITH SCOREBOARD.
WE DID NOT GET OUR AMENITY CENTER.
WE HAVE A TINY POOL FOR HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, AND WE HAVE NO PLANS TO GET ANOTHER POOL BUILT BY SCOREBOARD.
I BELIEVE A POOL TEAM MAY BE BUILDING ONE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OVER THERE.
I ALSO WANTED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF MORE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING COMING IN.
MORE COMING IN IS GOING TO TAX OUR SCHOOLS.
I WOULD HATE FOR US TO END UP BUSING KIDS TO SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE WE ARE SURROUNDED.
WE ALSO HAVE RENTAL HOMES THAT ARE BEING BUILT NEXT TO THE SCHOOLS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.
WE CANNOT FIT ANY MORE PEOPLE IN THERE IF WE TRIED, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO.
I THINK IF THIS GOES FORWARD, WHICH I'M VOTING NO, HOPEFULLY YOU'VE UNDERSTOOD THAT.
NO TO APARTMENTS, NO TO ZERO LOT LINE.
I DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL PUT STRICT GUIDELINES IN PLACE THAT AMENITY CENTERS, PARKS, PICKLE COURT, POOLS, WHATEVER ARE INCLUDED IN APARTMENT COMPLEXES, PURCHASED HOMES, RENTAL HOME DEVELOPMENTS.
THESE THINGS ACTUALLY HAPPEN BECAUSE AS STEPHANIE SAID, WE'RE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE PICTURES THAT WE SAW DID NOT COME TO FRUITION. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL THE SPEAKER CARDS THAT I HAVE.
I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 07:44 P.M. AND CONFINE ALL COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT?
>> I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF REAL QUICK.
WE CAN'T DICTATE WHAT GOES IN COMMON AREA PARKLAND DEDICATION, CORRECT?
>> NO. AS IT RELATED TO THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, THAT'S PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL.
IT IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PARK'S BOARD TO CITY COUNCIL AS IT RELATES TO WHAT PARK IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE PROPOSED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE APPLICANT POTENTIALLY COULD BE USING THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FUNDS.
CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW FOR AN INDIVIDUAL SINGLE-FAMILY HOME FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION IS A PARK DEVELOPMENT FRONT OF $1,500 PER SINGLE-FAMILY HOME,
[00:45:02]
AS WELL AS $2,000 PER UNIT FOR A MULTI-FAMILY UNIT.THOSE FUNDS TECHNICALLY CAN BE USED FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO A DEDICATED CITY PARK.
BUT AGAIN, THAT NEEDS TO BE ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.
AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THAT'S WHEN ACTUALLY NUMBERS WILL BE PRESENTED TO BOTH THE PARK'S BOARD AS WELL AS CITY COUNCIL LINE ITEMS AS IT RELATES TO THIS IS THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
THEN AN AGREEMENT IS MADE WHERE SIMILAR TO WHAT THE APPLICANT STATED, THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDING MATERIALS FOR THIS PROJECT.
WITHOUT THAT ZONING OR WITHOUT THIS NEW ZONING, THERE ARE NO BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY DEVELOPER COULD COME IN AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN HOLD THEIR FEET TO TO BUILD A QUALITY PRODUCT.
WHEREAS HERE, AS PART OF ANY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES IN, WE REQUIRE THAT THEY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.
WE SET SPECIFIC STANDARDS AS IT RELATES TO MASONRY REQUIREMENTS, AS IT RELATES TO CONSTRUCTION TIMELINES, TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE GETTING A QUALITY PRODUCT.
TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS' CONCERNS, AS PART OF THE ZONING REQUEST, WE DO HAVE LANGUAGE AS IT RELATES TO THE DEDICATION OF THIS LAND AREA.
BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T GET INTO THE ACTUAL IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE HANDLED THROUGH A DIFFERENT ENTITY.
HOWEVER, WE DO, THOUGH, IDENTIFY THE DEDICATION OF THE LAND AREA AS PART OF THAT.
AGAIN, IT'S JUST THE INITIAL STEP.
I DO WANT TO GIVE CREDIT THE APPLICANT, CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW ARE SFZ, IT'S THE SINGLE-FAMILY ZERO LOT LINE.
TYPICALLY, IT'S NOT A ZERO LOT LINE, THERE ARE FIVE FEET ON BOTH SIDES.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THESE LOTS ARE TYPICALLY 40 BY 100.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 40 BY 115.
IN MOST OF THE LOTS ARE ACTUALLY 20 FEET IN DEPTH BECAUSE OF THE HOME PRODUCT IN WHICH THEY'RE PROPOSING IN THERE.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A LARGER LOT SIZE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE, AS WELL AS THEIR INCREASING THE MINIMUM HOUSE SIZE THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THESE LOTS.
THERE ARE OTHER STIPULATIONS THAT I DON'T WANT TO SAY GLAZED OVER, BUT THERE ARE OTHER STIPULATIONS THAT ARE INSIDE THIS ZONING THAT WILL INCREASE THE QUALITY OF PRODUCT THAT WILL BE GOING THERE.
>> I NOTICED IN THERE ON THE ZERO LOT LINES THAT IT LEAVES THE TREE DISCRETION UP TO THE BUILDER.
YOU CAN PUT ONE IN THE FRONT OR ONE IN THE BACK?
>> IS THERE A STIPULATION THAT WE COULD PUT IN THERE WHERE THEY DO EVERY OTHER LOT, ONE IN THE FRONT, ONE IN THE BACK?
>> BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T DO IT THAT WAY, IT'S GOING TO LOOK WEIRD.
THE AESTHETICS OF THAT COMMUNITY IS JUST GOING TO BE HAPHAZARD.
>> WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS IN, IF THE COMMISSION VOTES IN FAVOR OF THIS, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS IN YOUR DISCRETION TO ADD OR REMOVE ANY OF THESE STIPULATIONS IN PLACE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL.
IN THE PARK AREA, HE MENTIONED RESTROOMS. HOW MANY RESTROOMS ARE GOING TO BE ON THAT SITE?
IT'S UP TO PARKS. I'M OKAY WITH 2,4,6.
I'M OKAY WITH ENOUGH RESTROOMS TO SERVICE THE GROUP.
THE MORE EXPENSIVE PARK IS GOING TO BE GETTING IN A SEWER OVER THERE AND THE WATER OVER THERE.
BY THE TIME YOU BUILD THE BUILDING AND PUT RESTROOMS IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL TO ADD A COUPLE MORE.
>> [LAUGHTER] WHAT I'M SAYING IT WOULDN'T BE A BIG DEAL TO ADD MORE.
I'M TAKING YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND I'LL REPEAT THOSE WITH THE PARK'S BOARD AS WELL.
>> JUST MAKE SURE EVERYBODY CAUGHT THAT THESE PARK IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO BE COMPLETELY PER THE AGREEMENT BEFORE SOMEBODY MOVES INTO WELL.
>> [NOISE] THE HOUSES THAT BACKUP AGAINST THE PARK, IS THAT WHERE THE SCREENING FENCE ROD IRON?
>> CORRECT. LOOKING AT THIS, THERE IS THE ROD IRON REQUIREMENT.
THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENTS WHENEVER YOU HAVE A SINGLE-FAMILY WROUGHT THAT'S BACKING UP TO PARKLAND, WE WANT TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THAT WROUGHT BY OPENING UP THE AESTHETICS.
IF YOU LOOK TYPICALLY FOR ALMOST ALL OF THESE WROUGHTS, THEY'RE GOING BE OPENING UP TO WOODS.
THEN I'M GOING TO BE OPENING UP TO THE FIELDS THEMSELVES.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT TREE LINE.
[00:50:01]
>> [NOISE] I CAN HUMBLY DISAGREE, IT'S NOT PRETTY TO SEE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BACKYARD LIKE ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
BUT THE ONES THAT DON'T BACKUP TO WOODS, CAN WE MAKE IT SO THAT IT'S NOT THE METAL FENCING THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN MASONRY FENCE.
SO YOU'RE NOT WALKING ON THE ROAD.
>> YEAH. EAST FOSTER CROSSING WHERE THE HOUSES WILL COME AGAINST THE ROAD.
>> THIS WOULD BE AN AREA THAT IS A CONCERN FOR BECAUSE THEY'D BE LOOKING.
BUT ANY OF THE HOMES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, THOSE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE, THE APPLICANT IS PART OF THE REQUEST, IS A BOARD ON BOARD FENCING WITH MASONRY COLUMNS ALONG ANY FUTURE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
THE ROD IRON FENCING IS ONLY FOR INTERIOR DEVELOPMENTS WHEN IT'S ADJACENT TO PARKLAND.
>> DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
>> SORT OF BECAUSE IN ANNA TOWN SQUARE, YOU CAN DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD SEEING EVERYBODY'S BACK.
>> CORRECT. I THINK THE INTENT INITIALLY FOR ANNA TOWN SQUARE, IF YOU GO UP LEONARD RIGHT NOW, THE EXISTING LEONARD, WHERE YOU HAVE THAT EXISTING BUMP.
I THINK THE INTENT INITIALLY WAS IT JUST SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUMPS ALONG BOTH LEONARD AS WELL AS ALONG FINLEY BOULEVARD.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY, BECAUSE OF THE DEPTH THAT BUMPING DID NOT TAKE PLACE.
AGAIN, THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME.
BUT I KNOW AS LEONARD MOVES FURTHER NORTH IN THE SECTIONS OF ANNA TOWN SQUARE THAT ARE BEING BUILT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ENSURING THAT THAT BUMP IS ACTUALLY BEING MAINTAINED ALL ALONG, LEONARD.
BUT CORRECT IN THIS INSTANCE, THERE WILL BE NO INSTANCE WHERE YOU HAVE A MINOR ROADWAY, THAT GOES THROUGH WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT HAS A WROUGHT IRON FENCING THAT BACKS UP TO ANY OF THE ROADS.
>> MR. ROSS YOU HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THE RESTRICTS THE WAY IT'S ALL WRITTEN UP.
CAN YOU PUT ON YOUR CRYSTAL BALL? IS IT WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE WON'T HAVE THE SNAFU LIKE WE HAD WITH THE 20-YEAR-OLD ANNA TOWN SQUARE DEVELOPMENT?
>> I BELIEVE SO. IN THE OLD ZONING, THERE WERE ENTITLEMENTS THAT WERE GRANTED THAT ALLOWED FOR CHANGES TO THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN.
WHERE HERE IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
THESE ARE THE TYPES OF WROUGHT THAT CAN BE BUILT.
THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT WERE VERY DETAILED AS IT RELATES TO.
IF THEY ARE PROPOSING A SMALLER WROUGHT, ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE SHOWING IT ON A PLAN, THEN THIS WILL BE YOUR MAXIMUM AMOUNT.
IF YOU'RE PROPOSING A LARGER WROUGHT, YOU GOT TO AT LEAST GIVE US A MINIMUM AMOUNT.
WE ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE NUMBERS THERE, AS WELL AS THE DEDICATION REQUIREMENT.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE. IT'S INSIDE THE PD.
IT'S VERY SPECIFIC AS IT RELATES TO IT.
AGAIN, WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING FORWARD, BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE APPROVED OR RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY COUNCIL THAT WHAT IS EVER BUILT HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS RECOMMENDED BY THE PARKS AND ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.
AGAIN, THE APPLICANT, HE'S BEEN WILLING TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPFRONT COSTS.
HE UNDERSTANDS THE NEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH ENSURING THAT WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE.
THAT'S WHY AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT HE IS BUILDING BOTH SIDES OF THESE FOSTER CROSSING WHERE TYPICALLY YOU ONLY BUILD THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY BUILDING ON, BUT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD THIS ENTIRE ROADWAY [NOISE] FOR THE EXTENT OF THEIR ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS THE LAND THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE CITY PARK THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY.
THERE ARE STIPULATIONS IN PLACE IN AGREEMENTS IN PLACE TO REQUIRE ALL OF THESE.
>> CAN WE RECOMMEND TO APPROVE WITH YOUR RESTRICTIONS, BUT NOT THE ZONING FOR THE NF2 SIDE?
>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD DEFER TO THE APPLICANT BECAUSE, AGAIN, NOT KNOWING, I THINK AS IT RELATES TO THE ZONING, REFLECTS THE COST OF THE LAND IN WHICH THEY'RE PURCHASING THE PROPERTY FOR.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK, THE DENSITY IS REQUIRED ON THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE TRACK OF LAND.
[00:55:03]
I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN HIS MOUTH.HE CAN COME UP AND ADDRESS THAT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTION?
>> COMMISSIONER MARK DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
>> I THINK WITH THE COST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED FOR THE SEWER, THE ROADS, THE WATER, BRINGING IT DOWN TO MELISSA, THE TRANSITIONAL ZONING THAT WAS JUST TO PROVE NEXT DOOR.
WE'RE NOT IN A POSITION TO NOT TAKE THE SOUTHERN HALF AS MULTIFAMILY.
I THINK THAT'S WHY WE'RE LEAVING IT OPEN.
THE MULTIFAMILY MIGHT COME BACK AS MULTIFAMILY, 30, 25 UNITS PER ACRE, OR MIGHT COME BACK AS BILLED FOR RENT, BUT I THINK IT COMPARES ALSO WITH WHAT'S NEXT DOOR.
YOU HAVE A POWER PLANT RIGHT TO YOUR SOUTHEAST.
YOU HAVE A BATCH PLANT THAT'S JUST GOT APPROVED FOR THE END OF TIME TO BE THERE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S GOING TO BE A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, A DESIRED PLACE TO LIVE WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
IT'D BE RIGHT NEXT TO THE POWER PLANT, RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATCH PLANT THAT WE'LL BE WORKING.
WE SEE THIS AS A TRANSITION FOR THAT SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE NORTH, MUCH LIKE IN A RANCH PREVIOUSLY BEFORE.
I THINK IF YOU REZONED IT A SINGLE-FAMILY.
WE'LL BE LOOKING AT MUCH DIFFERENT HOUSING STOCK THERE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SELL HIGH DOLLAR HOUSE RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATCH PLANT OR THE POWER PLANT RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
THAT WAS MORE WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR ORIGINALLY, THERE HAS BEEN GROUPS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY.
IT'S USUALLY I DON'T WANT THAT SOUTH HALF BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE BY THE BATCH PLANT, THAT'S RIGHT THERE BY THE POWER PLANT.
IT'S NOT AS DESIRABLE SINGLE-FAMILY LOCATION.
YOU'RE ALSO GETTING CLOSER TO THE OUTER LOOP.
WELL, THERE'S GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL, THERE'S GOING TO BE INDUSTRIAL.
HOPEFULLY THAT BATCH PLANT GOES AWAY ONCE POINT.
THAT'S A COMMERCIAL SITE JUST LIKE NEXT DOOR.
YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT COMMERCIAL MULTIFAMILY, JUST ON THE LARGE OUTER LOOP, JUST LIKE YOU'RE DOING WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN ON 21 OR SOMETHING.
>> YOU MIGHT WANT TO STAND THERE.
>> HOW DO I PUT THIS? I TOO I'VE BEEN TO ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
>> I'M ON MY HARD-DRIVE WHERE THEY'RE ALL THE OVER SIZED WROUGHTS.
>> IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL OF THOSE WROUGHTS BACK THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THAT SIZE AND THEY CHANGED INTO SMALLER WROUGHTS AND I TOO I'M JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
I'M THE FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER HOMES AND ALL THAT.
I'M LOOKING AT THIS 40 AND 50, WE GOT TO GET SOME MORE VALUABLE HOMES IN THERE BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO FLOAT EVERYBODY.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE OR TWO STREETS RIGHT NOW AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS SURROUNDED BY THERE.
I TAKE LEONARD HOME ALL THE TIME.
I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GOT DOING CAN YOU, SOME LARGER WROUGHTS WOULD BE NICE.
WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS. WE HAVE A LOT OF ALL THIS ON [INAUDIBLE]. I WAS JUST WONDERING.
>> AGAIN, I CAN GO BACK TO WHAT THE COMMON INTERESTS AND I THINK THIS IS TRANSITIONAL AWAY FROM THAT COUNTY BETTER LOOP.
WHAT'S GOING TO BE INDUSTRIAL RUNNING DOWN UP 121.
I THINK THAT THIS IS A GOOD TRANSITIONAL ZONING.
JUST TO SPEAK TO THE WROUGHT IN [NOISE] ANNA TOWN SQUARE.
IT WAS A ZONING THAT IT HELD OPTIONS.
THE OPTIONS FOR THAT AREA WHERE A 60 FOOT WROUGHT.
DEEPER 60 FOOT WROUGHTS LARGE SIZE WROUGHTS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF THERE.
THAT FIRST PHASE AND IT WAS MARKET-DRIVEN.
>> THE MARKET-DRIVEN AND THAT'S TYPICALLY HOW THINGS HAPPEN.
THAT AREA THE ZONING ALLOWED FOR THE SIZE WROUGHT.
A LONG TIME AGO IT WAS PLEASE GO TRY TO DO THE BIG WROUGHT FOR US IN THIS SUBDIVISION.
SO WE PUT WROUGHT ON THE GROUND.
AS A CONVERSATION WITH COUNCIL SAYS PLEASE GO TRY THAT AND WE DID THAT AT THAT TIME.
AT THAT TIME MARKET DIDN'T DRIVE THAT.
AS FAR AS THE SCREENING AS WELL GOING UP AND DOWN.
LEONARD, I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU.
I DON'T LOVE THAT. THERE'S WROUGHT IRON FENCE.
THAT'S WHY ON THIS ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN.
AT THAT TIME BEFORE ROSS WAS HERE, THAT WAS A BIG PUSH TO HAVE JUST OPEN WROUGHT IRON FENCE.
WE CAN'T GET OUT OF IT THERE NO MATTER WHAT.
I WOULD TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE BOARD ON BOARD IS THE WAY TO GO TODAY.
[01:00:07]
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE FROM ROSS.
ON COUNTER ROAD 418, WHICH IS ACROSS FROM WHERE THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE ZONING TO [OVERLAPPING] MULTI-FAMILY, IS THAT ALREADY ZONE MULTI-FAMILY TO RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT?
>> YES. THE APPLICANT DID HAVE A SLIDE THAT SHOWED. HERE YOU GO.
THIS IS THE EXISTING ZONING THAT'S IN PLACE AS YOU CAN SEEN IN C. THE APPLICANTS MULTI-FAMILY IS THIS LOCATION HERE.
AS HE HAD MENTIONED, HE HAD THE ENCORE.
HE ALSO HAVE THE BATCH PLANT THAT'S DOWN IN THIS LOCATION AS WELL AS HERE.
YOU HAVE MULTI-FAMILY THAT IS ZONED FOR ALMOST HALF OF THE ROAD.
YOU HAD A SINGLE-FAMILY TOWN HOME ZONING ALLOWANCE.
THEN THERE'S THIS NEIGHBORHOOD PARK OR A PARK THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEDICATION FOR THEIR ONE ACRE PER 50 LOTS.
THIS ONE ACRE PER 50 UNITS IS BASICALLY THE MULTI-FAMILY OPEN SPACE DEDICATION REQUIREMENT.
NOW, THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT THE PARK'S BOARD ONCE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT COMES IN, IT STILL NEEDS PARKS BOARD RECOMMENDATION CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL.
AGAIN, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'LL BE LOOKING TO SEE THIS AS A PARK, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING.
>> THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT?
>> TOTALLY DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT.
INITIALLY THOUGH, IT WAS ALL PART OF ANNA RANCH.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE SOME OF THE ZONING STANDARDS AND THE CONCEPT PLAN WERE JUST THAT THEY WERE JUST VERY CONCEPTUAL.
THE REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN PLACE THAT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS OR BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS.
NOW, AS PART OF ANYTIME WHEN THEY CAME IN AS WELL, THEY ENTERED INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHERE WE NOW CONTROL BUILDING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT.
AS I MENTIONED, THIS DEVELOPER THAT OWNS BOTH PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3 IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTING THIS SECTION OF LEONARD AVENUE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CREATE A NORTH-SOUTH CONNECTION FOR THE RESIDENTS FOR OUR EXISTING NEIGHBORS AND IN THE TOWN SQUARE.
>> THAT'LL CONNECT THEM TO THE OUTER LOOP?
>> I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR US.
OUR MF-2 ZONING, THE BASE ZONING ALLOWS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT.
>> THE BASE ZONING, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DENSITY.
IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN DO 25 UNITS PER ACRE AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOING MULTIPLE STORY.
HOWEVER, IN THE MF-2, THERE ARE HEIGHT RESTRICTION LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
IF THEY WERE TO MODIFY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PARKING OR AS I MENTIONED, THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE INSIDE THE ZONING, THEY'LL NEED TO COME BACK BEFORE BOTH P AND Z AND COUNCIL TO GET THOSE ALLOWANCES.
BUT IT DOES ALLOW THE APPLICANT COULD COME IN AND DO A SMALLER DENSITY REQUIRED.
JUST BECAUSE IT'S MF-2 DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY CAN'T DO A LESSER PRODUCT.
I THINK TOWN HOMES ARE ALLOWED INSIDE THE MF-2 ZONING.
SOMEBODY COULD COME IN AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS A GREAT AREA FOR TOWN HOMES.
BUT AGAIN, WE'LL SEE, AND AS THE APPLICANT IS JUST A BASE ZONING THAT THEY'RE ESTABLISHING AT THIS TIME.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, OR CONCERNS?
>> WHEN LOOKING AT THE MULTI-FAMILY ZONING HERE, I AGREE.
I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF MULTI-FAMILY TOO THROUGHOUT ANNA THAT HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED YET.
WE'VE GOT PLACES THAT IT CAN BE DONE.
WHY WOULD WE RESEND SOMETHING, ADD MORE MULTI-FAMILY? LET'S SEE HOW THIS DEVELOPS.
YOU'VE GOT ENCORE READY MIX, MULTI-FAMILY TO THE WEST.
IT DOES MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A BUFFER.
NOBODY'S GOING TO WANT TO BUILD SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL THERE.
I'M NOT ON BOARD WITH SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT THERE EVEN IF YOU JUST DID CALL IT THREE STORY GARDEN WALK UP.
ROSS, CAN WE RESTRICT IT TO SAY, [OVERLAPPING] WE'RE OKAY WITH MF-2 BUT NO SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT?
>> THE SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT, IT'S NOT A LAND USE PER SE.
[01:05:01]
IT'S MORE AS IT RELATES TO THE DENSITY.>> BECAUSE, AGAIN, SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT IS JUST INDIVIDUAL UNITS ON ONE TRACK OF LAND WHERE AS LONG AS YOU'RE MEETING THE BUILDING SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS, BUT AGAIN, I'LL DEFER TO THE APPLICANT.
I'M SURE THAT WE COULD CREATE SOME FORM OF LANGUAGE THAT SPECIFICALLY OUTLINES THAT, THAT WE SAY NO SINGLE UNIT OR TWO UNIT PRODUCT ALLOWED, BECAUSE IF IT'S A SINGLE UNIT OR A TWO UNIT PRODUCTS, THAT'S GETTING RID OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY FOR RENT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY TYPICALLY HAVE RIGHT NOW.
I THINK, ANY APPROVAL WITH ANY RECOMMENDATION.
AGAIN, I'M HAPPY WITH TO TAKE IT ONTO COUNCIL AND DISCUSS IT WITH COUNCIL.
ONE IDEA IN THE VEIN, WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS, THAT IT COULD BE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT WITHIN THAT BASE ZONING. IS THAT A POSSIBILITY?
>> I WOULD HAVE TO BE BACK IF I GO TO BILL FOR RENT. I GOT TO COME TALK TO YOU.
I'D HAVE TO PRESENT IT AND SAY WHAT IT IS AND THE COUNCIL, AND P AND Z.
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ZONING, IF I DO THAT MF, I CAN ASK FOR INDUSTRIAL.
YOU SAY NO, I CAN ASK FOR ANYTHING AND YOU SAY, NO, BUT I THINK PUTTING A SPECIFIC USE TELLS ME THAT I 100% HAVE TO COME BACK AND SAY, I'M PLANNING ON DOING FOR RENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT'D BE FINE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL AND DISCUSS THAT WITH COUNCIL.
>> I THINK, THAT'S A GOOD RESTRICTION.
>> BUT YOU GOT TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
IF OUR GOAL IS, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BIGGER LOTS.
THE GOAL OF WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS BY GETTING THE ZONING IN PLACE THAT INCREASES THE LAND VALUE.
THE LESS RESTRICTIONS WE PUT ON IT, THE MORE DESIRABLE IT IS MORE MONEY THEY GET WHEN THEY SELL IT, WHICH IS GOING TO LOWER THEIR BASIS TO MAKE THEIR PROFORMA WORK FOR THE STUFF UP TOP.
WHICH I GET IT, THEY HAVE TO INCREASE THE DENSITY BECAUSE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE NOT WHAT THEY WERE 10 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING IN THE TOWN SQUARE. THEY NEED MORE DENSITY.
I WONDER IF THERE'S A TRADE-OFF.
IF YOU GIVE THEM THE MULTI-FAMILY 2 ZONING.
IS THERE A WAY WE CAN OFFSET THE COST AND GET BIGGER LOTS TO ACCOMPLISH THAT?
>> I GUESS THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO OFFSET SOME OF THE SFC LOTS FOR A LARGER PRODUCT.
>> LET'S TALK THROUGH YOUR PRO FORMA, JOHN.
[LAUGHTER] I'M KIDDING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOUR PRO FORMA.
>> I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET TO THE LINE.
>> I THINK ONE OF OUR CONCERNS IS WE WANT BIGGER LOTS AND I GET IT, CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE OUT THAT'S DIFFICULT.
YOU GUYS HAVE PROBABLY TRIED TO OPTIMIZE THIS AND DONE A MILLION SITE PLANS.
>> THE PARK IS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS IT'S GIVING UP.
YOU'VE GOT A 30-ACRE PARK IN THERE.
YOU START INCREASING THE LOTS THEN THAT INCREASES.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THIS, I THINK IT'S IN YOUR PACKET, THE WHOLE THING WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH LOTS AND IT WAS 550 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS, THEIR 55S AND 60S.
I THINK THERE COULD BE A LITTLE ROOM TO GIVE TO GO UP TO '60S, BUT I JUST REALLY DON'T THINK THIS IS A STATE LOT LOCATION FOR THAT.
>> I'M OKAY WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO INCREASE THE MINIMUM 60S OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> IF WE WERE TO 30-ACRE PARKING LOT DEDICATIONS, GREAT.
IT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED, BUT IF YOU REDUCE THAT TO 25 ACRES, 20-ACRE PARKLAND DEDICATION, DOES THAT ALLOW YOU TO GET MORE CALL IT MORE DENSITY FOR LARGER LOTS?
>> I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LARGER LOTS.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING MORE 60S.
>>YEAH, WE CAN ADD MORE 60S IN THERE.
THE PROBLEM IS WHERE THE LAND IS.
>> THE LAND YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE [OVERLAPPING]
>> I'M TRYING TO GIVE AWAY A GOOD FLAT PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT CAME IN HERE, WE NEED BALL FIELDS, NOT BASEBALL FIELDS, BUT PLACES TO PLAY SOCCER, PLACES TO DO FOOTBALL AND THIS IS A GREEN FLAT FIELD THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON THE OUTER LOOP AND IT'S A GOOD SPOT FOR IT.
THIS AREA DOES HAVE SOME MULTIFAMILY DOWN SQUARE, IT HAS MULTIFAMILY DOWN FOSTER CROSSING, HAS MULTI-FAMILY ACROSS THE STREET.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR A PARK WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIFAMILY UNITS SURROUNDING THIS AREA.
YOU'VE GOT TO COME DOWN FOSTER CROSSING.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MULTIFAMILY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME BUILT FOR RENT, YOU'VE GOT MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTH TO THE EAST OF US.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD PLACE FOR A BIG PARK.
IF I START EATING INTO THE PARK, THE AREA TO EAT INTO IS DOWN,
[01:10:01]
AND THAT GETS INTO THAT CREEK.I'D REALLY DON'T WANT TO EAT THAT MEAT OF THAT PARK FOR 60S, I CAN ADD SOME MORE.
WHAT I'M JUST SAYING IS IF WE WANTED TO INCREASE THAT, A MINIMUM IS 91, WE COULD INCREASE THAT. THE UPPER SLOT.
>> COULD YOU MAYBE SWAP IT OUT WITH SOME OF THE ZERO-LOT LINES?
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, I CAN TAKE THE 316 DOWN TO 300, AND THAT WENT UP TO 105 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> TRY TO GET US A FEW MORE 60S, I THINK IT HELPS US OUT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YEAH, AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
WE COULD TAKE SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE ALONG THE PARK AND MAKE THEM 60S.
>> I'LL JUST SAY I THINK THE PARK IS NEEDED AND THEM DOING IT AHEAD OF TIME IS NEEDED BECAUSE IT'S WAY LESS THAN WE GOT IN THE TOWN SQUARE, WHICH WAS NOTHING.
THE TRAIL THROUGH THERE WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE SCHOOLS, SO THAT'S NICE IF THEY FOLLOW THROUGH.
I THINK I'D BE OKAY WITH THAT TOO.
THE TRADE-OFF ON THE PARK SIDE FOR LARGER LOT HOMES.
>> BUT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS I'M NOT TAKING ANY LAND FROM THE PARK.
>> I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE PARK AT 30 ACRES BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DO ME ANY GOOD TO DIG DOWN INTO THAT PARK OR TAKE SOME OF THAT SWEET MEAT.
I'LL PRESENT ANOTHER PLAN TO COUNCIL THAT HAS ONLY 300 40S AND RAISE THE 60S UP AROUND.
>> HE'S NOT TOUCHING THE PARK AREA. THAT STAYS.
>> I WOULD JUST TAKE THOSE 40S THEN I'LL JUST WIDEN THEM.
I MIGHT WIDEN THEM AND TAKE THEM A COUPLE OF FEET BACK LIKE FIVE FEET, AND SO MAKE THEM 60 BY 120.
>> LET ME ASK, ROSS, THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
IF WE WERE TO SAY, HEY LET'S MODIFY THE DENSITY, THE UNIT COUNTS PER ZONING CLASS, I GUESS MAYBE IT'S A CORRECT WAY TO SAY IT, CAN WE DO THAT IN THIS?
>> WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT THE SFZ PRODUCT, THE 40 BY 115S, BE NO MORE THAN 300.
HOWEVER, I THINK AT THAT TIME, WE'LL LEAVE IT OPEN AS IT RELATES TO CURRENTLY HOW IT STANDS RIGHT NOW TO THE 91 BECAUSE AGAIN, NOT KNOWING HOW MANY IT CAN INCREASE BY, I THINK THAT'S JUST ENOUGH TO SAY YOU'RE REDUCING THE 40S DOWN TO 300 AND THEN AS PART OF THIS CONCEPTUAL RENDERING, THAT'LL BE PART OF IT WHEN IT COMES BACK IN FRONT OF COUNCIL.
I'LL ENSURE THAT IT'S MEETING THE INTENT OF THE VOTE FROM THE COMMISSION AS IT RELATES TO ENSURING THAT WHAT'S BEING INCREASED AREN'T THE 50S, WHAT WOULD BE INCREASED WOULD BE THE 60S.
>> FOR THE MF2 TO MAKE AN SUP.
>> I'D BE OKAY WITH ANYTHING. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I THINK BASED UPON OUR LANGUAGE, OUR DEFINITION, SO MULTIFAMILY IS THREE OR MORE UNITS.
WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS AN SUP FOR ONE UNIT IN TWO UNIT PRODUCT TYPES.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? [NOISE]. IS THERE A MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER 21? IF WE MOTION TO APPROVE, THEN THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS TO BE PUT IN PLACE.
FOR THE MF2, IT NEEDS A SUP FOR ANY ONE AND TWO-UNIT PRODUCT TYPES.
MODIFY THE DENSITY FROM THE SFZ TO BE NO MORE THAN 300 AND TO INCREASE THE FF60S.
