came forward as well.
Mrs. Shaw stated they do not have any seating area planned at this time
and questioned staff regarding the number of parking spaces required?
Ron Ruthven replied three would be required. Mrs. Shaw stated she
could meet that requirement. Mrs. Shaw questioned staff if they would
like her to remove the brick wall? Ron Ruthven replied staff has
concerns regarding the setback off of SH26 and the building was closer
than 40 feet from the right of way of the street. He stated if the wall were
to be removed, the building could be moved further back from the street.
Mr. Shaw explained the traffic queuing for the facility and stated there
would not be more than three cars stacked at one time on either side of
the building. He stated the parking spaces could be re-designed to meet
the required parking.
Mr. Buchwald stated he has looked for a lot of opportunities for this
property but has been unsuccessful, therefore he stated he supports this
proposal.
Commissioner Duffy stated from a safety point of view, the building
needs to be moved further back from SH26 and parallels it to SH26, to
be able to get the traffic out of the way. He stated the wall could come
down and the facility could be moved back.
Commissioner Duffy questioned Mr. Buchwald regarding if TxDot had
been contacted regarding the two entrances? Mr. Buchwald stated
TxDot would allow a second ingress/egress if he were to pay for it.
Commissioner Duffy questioned what are the distances between the two
ingress/egress entrances? Mr. Buchwald replied not knowing exactly.
He stated there will not be left turn from SH26 in the north entrance
because of the turning lane.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned the applicant regarding the additional
seating to be added? He stated that may require amending the PUD.
Mrs. Shaw stated a possible seating area to the back of the property that
would not require any additional structures.
Commissioner Phelps questioned Mrs. Shaw if the shaded areas
represent the brick wall? Mrs. Shaw stated the dotted lines represent
the concrete wall. Commissioner Phelps questioned Mrs. Shaw
regarding what are the shaded areas on the drawing representing? Mrs.
Shaw replied she thought it was three parking spaces, but it appears that
it may be the handicap space.

with regards to the placement of the building. He stated not being able
to support the request with the placement of the building.

Commissioner Redfearn questioned Mr. Buchwald regarding what
options have been considered for this property? Mr. Buchwald stated
when he purchased the property; there was a special use permit on the
property to allow for car sales, which has now expired.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned Mrs. Shaw regarding what are the
differences between the existing zoning and the zoning that is being
requested. Mrs. Shaw replied the setback, minimum square footage of
property and the CC1 current zoning does not allow for a drive through,
therefore, staff suggested to come forward and request PUDC zoning.
There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at
7:31 p.m.
Commissioner Duffy stated the site plan is lacking the requirements for
the PUD zoning. He stated the setbacks are not proper, parking or open
space.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding if it would be possible to
put a building on this property given the setbacks that are on the
property and allow queuing off of SH26? Ron Ruthven replied by
removing the wall, the building could then be moved back further to
create more room on the lot for parking and traffic movement.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff if the building is moved back,
will they meet the 40 foot requirement in the CC1 zoning district? Ron
Ruthven concurred.
Commissioner Redfearn stated the CC1 zoning district does not allow for
a drive through service.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned if there is a certain size requirement
for the building in this zoning district? Ron Ruthven replied there is no
minimum building size requirement in the CC1 zoning district. He stated
as long as the building meets the building code requirements.
Commissioner Phelps questioned what is the portion of the easement
that is jutting into the proposed at the north end, the proposed right of
way? Ron Ruthven replied the creek runs through that area, from north
to south, but he stated not being able to speak for SH26, but that may be
to accommodate drainage for the creek.
Commissioner Phelps stated he concurred with Commissioner Duffy and
stated this PUDC is not ready. He stated some realignments could be
made so that the traffic queuing could be accommodated. He stated this
design appears to need a lot of work as presented.
City of Colleyville Page 4 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final
September 24, 2007
Commissioner Byerly questioned the applicant if the design could be
reconfigured to be able to meet the requirements of the setback and
queuing? Mr. Shaw replied they could do some reconfiguring.
Mrs. Shaw questioned the Commission if they could have a 35 foot
setback instead of the 40 foot setback that is required? Commissioner
Byerly stated if a new plan is submitted showing the setback, the
Commission can consider that request at that time.
Mrs. Shaw questioned staff regarding the queuing of traffic, how many
vehicles need to be shown? Ron Ruthven stated the three cars on the
south side and the movement of traffic on the site plan needs to be
updated to satisfy the Engineering Department as far as queuing off of
SH26.
Commissioner Redfearn stated instead of having the traffic heading into
each other on the property, to have two lanes that are feeding in the
same direction as a safer option. He stated if the creek could be placed
on the drawing to show how far back the building can be placed would
help the Commissioners to decide if the placement of the building has
accommodated the alignment of the creek.
Commissioner Duffy stated the applicants need to go back and resubmit
with the required documents.
Commissioner Byerly concurred with Commissioner Duffy.
Commissioner Byerly moved to continue to the October 8th, 2007
meeting case Z-07-025. Commissioner Knox seconded.

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final
September 24, 2007
opposition to count in the opposition calculation. Commissioner Dudziak
questioned staff if all of the signatures on the petition were within 200
feet? Ron Ruthven replied no, not all 36. Commissioner Dudziak
questioned staff regarding how was the percentage of opposition
calculated? Ron Ruthven replied the 54% is the responses from the
property owners that were actually notified within 200 feet. The petition
has many signatures that do not live within 200 feet of the request.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff regarding if a signature on a
petition, the opposition is formally expressed in that position? Ron
Ruthven replied if they do live within 200 feet of the notification and they
have signed that petition, that is their official opposition to the request
and that property is counted toward the opposition with 200 feet. City
Attorney Kallas concurred with staff.

question for when the request moves forward to City Council for a
supermajority vote? Ron Ruthven concurred.

Commissioner Duffy questioned staff regarding a topo map for the area?
Ron Ruthven replied not having one available immediately.
Commissioner Duffy questioned staff regarding a larger aerial map?
Ron Ruthven replied not having one available immediately.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned for clarity, the Commission could not
approve anything below R30? Ron Ruthven concurred and stated
anything below R20 would have to be a PUD request. Commissioner
Dudziak stated if a PUD were to be requested open space would be
required as well as other amenities that would make this an extremely
financially prohibited. Ron Ruthven concurred and stated flag lots are
prohibited. Commissioner Dudziak stated what is being proposed is the
only layout that could occur. He stated there are other lots on Hunter
Lane that are one acre and could be subdivided if presented to the
Commission. He stated overall, these lots are sizeable and would add to
the community of Colleyville. He stated the applicant's intentions are to
City of Colleyville Page 7 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 24, 2007
build good size homes for the lots. He stated it would be good for
Colleyville and good for Hunter Lane.
Commissioner Redfearn stated being sensitive to the neighbors and
stated he would be willing to lock in a R30 zoning request with a waiver
request for the frontage requirement. City Attorney Kallas stated the
applicant would have to come back at another meeting and request
another zoning change with relief to the lot width requirement.
Commissioner Duffy questioned City Attorney Kallas regarding the
applicant does not meet the R30 frontage requirements, therefore, the
Commission could not grant him R30 unless he were to reapply? City
Attorney Kallas replied he can go to a less intense zoning district but
because this is a straight zoning request, the Commission is locked into
the zoning district requirements. He stated a motion for R30 could be
made; however, the frontage would have to comply. Ron Ruthven
replied as currently proposed, the R20 zoning district requires a 100 lot
width and R30 would be 125 feet. He stated the applicant is requesting
R20 because the request meets all of the R20 requirements.
Commissioner Knox stated the applicant could put in an east/west street,
at his expense, with three lots. Ron Ruthven replied yes he would meet
the minimum lot width and depth requirements, however, the street
would have to have an approved cul-de-sac for the fire truck to turn
around.
Commissioner Dudziak stated if the fire truck can not turn around; the
applicant will not be able to build the cul-de-sac.
Commissioner Phelps stated being opposed to rezoning this property to
R20 to split the lot. He stated it establishes a new standard for the area
as opposed to an exception. He stated if the R20 were to be approved,
then there could be others coming forward to rezone to R20. He stated
this is one of those areas of Colleyville that can be preserved. He stated
there may be some alternatives, but not R20.
Commissioner Redfearn concurred with no to R20.
Commissioner Knox moved to deny case Z-07-032. Commissioner
Phelps seconded.
Commissioner Dudziak stated a 6,000 or 7,000 square foot home could
be built on that lot.

override the PUD language in the ordinances. Ron Ruthven replied the
Master Thoroughfare would override the PUD requirements where in
conflict.

discussed for Heritage Lane? Ron Ruthven replied the Master
Thoroughfare requires four lanes; however, the Commission can amend
Heritage Avenue to two lanes. Commissioner Duffy questioned staff if

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final
September 24, 2007
Commissioner Duffy questioned Mr. Shephard regarding the number of
homes on the southern part of the northern section; there are 16 homes
on that cul-de-sac which exceeds the Land Development Code
requirements. Mr. Shephard replied it does exceed the Development
Code, however, he stated there is another portion of the code that states
if a bigger turn around is provided at the end of the street then that
number can be exceeded. Chris Fuller replied the Land Development
Code states that the cul-de-sac length shall be 1600 feet of right of way
and 31 feet of pavement, however, if the maximum cul-de-sac length is
1200 feet with 56 feet of right of way and 36 foot pavement section.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff if the number of homes on the
cul-de-sac can exceed or just the length of the cul-de-sac? Chris Fuller
replied the maximum number of single family residents is 12; therefore
the length of the cul-de-sac does not change the maximum number of
lots. Mr. Shephard stated he could stick out another street to Heritage
Avenue to solve that issue.
Commissioner Byerly questioned Mr. Shephard regarding if he would
rather do another street or would he rather have a waiver request for the
number of lots on the cul-de-sac if fire sprinklers are in the homes on the
cul-de-sac? Mr. Shephard replied he would prefer to stick out a street.
Commissioner Byerly stated on the south end the number exceeds the
requirements as well. Mr. Shephard replied they could put in another
street down there as well and meet those requirements.
Commissioner Duffy stated everything should be put in the ordinance
that the Commission wants to have and not leave what could be done for
the City Council to decide.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned Mr. Shephard regarding the stub out
street on Winewood Place, is it still the intention to stub this street out
and use a gate? Mr. Shephard replied that not being his intention. He
stated he showed a connection to that street; however, the residents do
not want it connected. He stated he told the residents it was the City's
decision to connect the street.
Commissioner Phelps stated there was a desire for a request for a
waiver of the tree survey. He stated the waiver stated instead of
replacing existing trees, to put some language in that said, so many
trees per lot, etc. He stated the request for the waiver is still there but
there is not language that suggests any alternatives. Mr. Shephard
stated he felt like that to be a platting issue not a land uses issue and he
stated he felt doing it exactly as the tree ordinance reads does not
accomplish the goal. He stated he can preserve the elm trees out there
but they are going to die soon. He stated the alternative should be to do
City of Colleyville Page 10 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 24, 2007
something that works 100% that actually beautifies it other than placing
post oak trees that will die 30 minutes after the streets are cut or the
house pads are built. He stated if there were some number of caliper
inches for interior lots, corner lots, and entry ways and so forth, it would
serve the development and the City much better. He stated something
different should be considered other than what is written in the book.
Commissioner Phelps stated he understood, but he did not see anything
from Mr. Shephard regarding a potential number of inches he would
prefer. Mr. Shephard stated it would be appropriate to have 12 caliper
inches consisting of 3 trees, 4 inches in diameter on the interior lots, and
15 caliper inches on the corner lots and 15 caliper inches on the
entrance or entry way lots or 100; just a number that is actually based
upon something done by a landscape architect that knows what he is
doing instead of him guessing.
John Gray, 3300 Pembrooke Parkway South, spoke on behalf of the
Woodland Hills Homeowners Association and stated they are in favor of
the rezoning request and stated being in support of Heritage Avenue to
remain as a two lane roadway.
Rick Miller, 3605 Wexford Court, spoke on behalf of the Prestwick Park
Homeowners Association and stated they have worked with Mr.
Shephard to have a 30 foot setback and he stated that would be an
option for Mr. Shephard. Mr. Miller stated there were recommendations
made at the workshop regarding reducing the setback. He stated being
opposed to reducing the setback. He stated he would support the
subdivision with the approval of the 30 foot setback by making an
exception to the 80 foot easement.
Doug Baron, 3402 Cambridge Court, presented a power point
presentation.
Robert Bruton, 3303 Middleton Way, spoke in opposition to closing
Heritage Avenue and questioned who would maintain it if it were to
close?
Gary Malone, 4605 & 4609 Winewood Court spoke in favor of the
rezoning request and stated they are in favor of the 30 foot setback
between the developments.
Phil Kelly, 2808 Sherwood Lane, stated some concerns with the closing
of Heritage Avenue.
Bill Barnard, 3613 Wexford Court, stated having concerns with the 30
foot setback being reduced and the possibility of having a two story
home in his back yard. He stated the tree preservation regulations
should be met.
City of Colleyville Page 11 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 24, 2007
Chris Hall, 4916 Prestwick Drive, stated there should be an easement
between the two developments to enhance the new and existing
developments. He stated being concerned with what will happen to
Heritage Avenue and what will be happening on the Euless side.
David Dowdy, 3601 Winewood Place, spoke in favor of the rezoning
request but not in favor of closing Heritage Avenue.
There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at
9:49 p.m.
Mr. Shephard came forward to address the concerns of the neighbors.
Commissioner Byerly stated the Commission should consider the
amendment to the Master Thoroughfare first.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding the County easement.
Chris Fuller stated the request before the Commission is to consider
amending the Master Thoroughfare Plan with regards to the physical
classification of what the road way might be. Chris Fuller stated he would
have to defer the County issue to the City Attorney. City Attorney Kailas
stated the Commission has the ability to take action on these items
tonight. As far as the effect of the County easement, that is something
to be addressed later.
The vote and discussion, after the vote, for case G-07-016 has been
attached in the minutes for item 8b.
Commissioner Duffy questioned the Fire Marshal regarding the stub out
on Winewood Place? Fire Marshal McKeown replied not being in
support of gating the stub out, he stated he would prefer that to be a
through street.
Commissioner Byerly questioned Marshal McKeown if the Commission
were to gate that, what kind of recommendation would you have?
Marshal McKeown replied if it is an emergency access gate it should
meet the Land Development Code regulations with an Opticom that the
Fire Department could operate from either direction with a Knox key
override and a power failure backup.
Commissioner Phelps questioned Marshal McKeown regarding if there is
any history regarding servicing the existing neighborhood? Marshal
McKeown replied there was a gas in that area about two weeks ago in
which the Fire Department had to block off both entrances to Prestwick
Park and the residents were not happy about blocking them in.
City of Colleyville Page 12 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 24, 2007
Commissioner Phelps stated the rear building line is consistently referred
to as 10 feet, but the developer has stated 30 feet therefore the
language would need to be amended to address that specific issue on
the western lots.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding if the tree preservation
regulations are specific to lot or some other area within the
development? Chris Fuller replied if the applicant removes trees on one
specific lot, he could replace them anywhere on the site that would
accommodate them.
Commissioner Duffy questioned staff regarding if the applicant removes
five 30 inch caliper trees, does he have to replace 150 caliper inches, not
just five trees? Chris Fuller replied the applicant has to replace them
with a minimum of three inch caliper trees. He stated the applicant may
replace them with higher caliper inch trees. Commissioner Duffy stated
he could use 50, three inch caliper trees. Chris Fuller concurred and
stated 150 inches to be replaced with a minimum of a 3 inch caliper tree.
Chris Fuller replied the applicant did not provide staff with a proposal for
staff to review so any discussion of a tree waiver, staff will have no
insight upon.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff if the applicant has requested a
waiver from the tree survey but not from tree mitigation? Chris Fuller
replied that would need to be specified with the developer.
Commissioner Byerly stated that is what he is reading by the draft
ordinance. Chris Fuller stated as the applicant has not given a proposal,
staff omitted it from the ordinance, there was nothing to include.
Commissioner Byerly stated as the draft ordinance is written, a tree
survey is required. Chris Fuller stated in accorrdinance with the Land
Development Code. He stated the Planning and Zoning Commission is
the relief Board for tree mitigation. He stated if it is not addressed with
the zoning, the applicant will have to come back to the Planning and
Zoning Commission with the waiver request. Commissioner Byerly
stated a tree waiver can not be granted without a tree survey at some
point. Chris Fuller replied since a tree survey has not been provided,
staff can not give any insight to that.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff if a tree survey will be done?
Chris Fuller replied as of right now, there is no waiver for that.
Commissioner Phelps stated to staff that a tree waiver has been
requested. Chris Fuller stated he requested a waiver but did not provide
a proposal.
Commissioner Dudziak stated he did not understand "request" as
opposed to "did not supply". Chris Fuller stated the applicant requested
City of Colleyville Page 13 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final
September 24, 2007
a waiver in the Development Review comments but then came forward
with no materials supporting that waiver; therefore staff did not include
that in the ordinance.
Commissioner Duffy moved to approve case Z-07-008 with the following
amendments: the fire stub to the Prestwick Park development be
constructed during this development and constructed per the Land
Development Code with a per code gate on it; the tree preservation
survey submitted as per the Land Development Code; the cul-de-sac
number of homes as per the Land Development Code. Commissioner
Byerly seconded.
Commissioner Knox stated a friendly amended with a 30 foot setback on
the western boundary of the development, if not that five foot buffer and
a 25 foot setback. Commissioner Duffy stated he did not concur with the
amendment. He stated if Mr. Shephard wants to give those neighbors
adjacent to his development 30 feet, then that is his right to do so,
however it is not required.
Commissioner Byerly seconded Commissioner Duffy's motion.
Commissioner Dudziak stated some language needs to be included that
clarifies that the Commission is not waiving parts of the Land
Development Code at this time.
Commissioner Byerly made a motion for a friendly amendment that the
site plan needs to be amended to conform to the Master Thoroughfare
Plan to include access from Heritage Avenue to Glade Road on the
southeast corner to reflect the City of Euless side property.
Commissioner Duffy accepted the amendment.
Commissioner Byerly made a motion for another friendly amendment
that any provision that is not expressly waived by the draft ordinance will
be per the Land Development Code. In other words, he stated unless
otherwise written in the text of the ordinance, the Code of Ordinances
shall apply.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Commissioner Byerly regarding if a
wavier is being granted for the number of lots on the cul-de-sac, should
there be a street stubbed out to reduce the cul-de-sac. Commissioner
Byerly stated a waiver is not being granted by the site plan showing a
number of lots on the cul-de-sac exceeding the Land Development
Code.
Commissioner Phelps stated the word "conceptual" is referring to the site
plan might tend to lend a little more weight to its position to the
Commission or lack of standing.
City of Colleyville Page 14 Printed on 10/9/2007
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final September 24, 2007
City Attorney Kallas stated to Commissioner Dudziak the requirement is
to abide by the cul-de-sac regulations, if a specific street access were to
be stubbed, there needs to be an amendment to the motion.
Commissioner Phelps stated on the south end of the development where
the existing Heritage Avenue curves into Cheek Sparger, there is only
one entrance to that portion, with access really close to Heritage
Avenue. He stated a second entrance needs to be provided further
north on the straight portion of Heritage Avenue so that the entrance is
not so close to Cheek Sparger. Chris Fuller replied for the Commission
to be as specific as possible on any amendments or conditions to the
ordinance. City Attorney Kallas recapped and stated that the southern
most portion of the development shall have two entrances along Cheek
Sparger and or Heritage Avenue.
Commissioner Byerly and Commissioner Duffy both accepted
Commissioner Phelps amendment to the motion.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff if the parkland will be assumed
by the developer? Chris Fuller replied that would be privately owned.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff if there would be any potential
way for the City to gather or to obtain that land at a future date unless
they were to sell it to the City. Chris Fuller concurred.
Commissioner Dudziak stated there are legal structures that land can be
put into that is easier for the City to obtain that enables Texas Parks and
Wildlife grounds to be dedicated to and whether there may need to be
something in the ordinance to reflect, should there be some room to
allow for this? City Attorney Kallas stated that would be a decision for
City Council not for the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Byerly summarized the motion: Commissioner Duffy
moved to approve case Z-07-008 with the following conditions: the fire
stub-out on Winewood Place is to be constructed per the Land
Development Code regarding emergency access gates; the tree
preservation survey per the Land Development Code; adhere to the
requirements of the Land Development Code regarding the number of
homes allowed on a cul-de-sac; amend the site plan to conform to the
Master Thoroughfare Plan including access from Heritage Avenue to
Glade Road on the southeast side; there shall be no provision of the
Land Development Code granted unless a waiver has been stated in
writing in the PUD ordinance for this development; there shall be two
entrances to the southern section located either on Cheek Sparger Road
or Heritage Avenue. Commissioner Byerly seconded.

mentioned is the developer only able to put one in the northern section.
Commissioner Byerly stated the northern portion would be per the site
plan. He stated this is to clarify the Euless portion.

ordinance with a tremendous amount of wiggle room and not seeing the
requirements that have been outlined.

Thoroughfare Plan, roads are either present or not, and they are
designated as two lane or four lane or otherwise. He questioned staff if
the roadways are designated with right of ways as well? Chris Fuller
replied they are designated with the right of way, correct.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned staff if the Master Thoroughfare
stipulates design? Chris Fuller replied it does, whether it be divided or
undivided, two lanes, four lanes. Commissioner Redfearn questioned
staff if every roadway has those elements stipulated? Chris Fuller
replied correct.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned for the two lane roads that are in the
Master Thoroughfare Plan, do they have consistent right of way
dedications associated with them, or do they vary? Chris Fuller replied
they vary.
Commissioner Phelps stated the 80 foot right of way creates a great
buffer between the two developments.
Commissioner Dudziak stated being in favor of the 80 foot right of way to
be able to create a four lane road for the future.
Commissioner Byerly stated he opposed the four lane road, but does
support the 80 foot right of way.
