Staff explained that the City of Colleyville adopted the Zoning Code in 1978 and also informed the commissioners what constitutes a lot of record. Commissioner Wall asked staff if the setback on Hunter Lane was reviewed from a safety standpoint. Staff responded that the building setback is well within compliance of all safety regulations and the Planning and Zoning Commission is given the authority to grant a building line waiver by the regulations in the Land Development Code. Commissioner Byerly asked about the difference in authority between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Staff informed the commissioners that the Planning and Zoning Commission is given the authority to establish building lines when a property is being platted and the Zoning Board of Adjustment would consider encroachments into established building lines and required yards.

Case Z-03-002 - PUBLIC HEARING - Zoning Change from AG to R20 on Lot 2, Weston Ward Addition located at 6412 Ponderosa Lane Clayton Husband presented the case to the Commission and reviewed the agenda briefing. He informed the commissioners that there was a letter of opposition received after the packet was distributed and they had a copy at their places. The letter was from Michael & Cindy Latimer who reside at 6500 Ponderosa Lane. Commissioner Jones asked staff to point out other lot sizes in the area. Staff said they have discouraged the applicant from trying to plat the property into a configuration that would create a flag lot; however, believed the lot could be divided and meet the regulations for the R20 zoning district. Commissioner Jones said the letter of opposition mentions drainage problems in the area. Clayton Husband responded that the Engineering Department will look at drainage and grading when the lot is platted and a building permit is requested to build on the newly created lot. There was discussion about the traffic count on Tinker Road and how people travel on Tinker Road to avoid the back-up of traffic on John McCain Road. Chairman Wall opened the public hearing. The applicant was not present to represent the case, and there was no one else present wishing to speak. Chairman Wall closed the public hearing. Commissioner Jones moved to table the case.
