He stated they redesigned the entry way to accommodate some open space into the development. He stated the small portion of property does not provide enough financial return to develop in accordance with all the provisions of the PUD ordinance. He stated the trail system area would provide additional open space for the development. Mr. DeGuire stated there are several property owners in support of the request. He stated they have estimated that this development would generate $75,000 in fees to the City. He stated he wants to develop the entire tract rather than separating the two portions in either city. He requested the Commission approve the request. Rutherford asked if there was a poor lot in the area that would be suitable for a small open space park or lot. Mr. DeGuire stated that Lot 10 could be used for landscaping given the proximity of the hike and bike trail. Hill asked if the development could provide separate water and sewer systems. Mr. DeGuire stated yes. Hill asked if lot sizes could be increased and a masonry fence could be built along the east property line to protect the adjacent property owners. Mr. DeGuire stated increases in lot depths would affect the Hurst portion of the development. He stated the masonry fence would not add much to the development since only a small portion is in Colleyville. He stated they would agree to install fencing along that area rather than rely on deed restrictions. He stated the perimeter street improvements result in a $9,000 per lot cost. He stated the taxable value of the Colleyville portion would be over five million dollars. Chairman Hart asked what the open space calculation would be if Lot 10 were included as landscaping. Mr. DeGuire stated it would be approximately 11 %, including the trail system. Edwards asked if the entire development would be constructed at once. Mr. DeGuire stated yes. Henry Erben, 312 West Glade. He stated he has three acres of green space on his property adjacent to the development. He stated he would like to see a fence installed on the common property line. He stated his concern about children coming onto his property since he has a pond on the site. Cindy Moore, Bear Creek Drive, Hurst.

She stated that she and Mr. DeGuire were working on a land trade. Chairman Hart stated the proposed minimum lot size is 8,250 square feet, and Colleyville requires a minimum of 13,000 square feet. Commissioner Fletcher asked if Ms. Moore brought her concerns before the Hurst Planning & Zoning Commission about the fencing. Ms. Moore stated yes, that her concern is that each fence would look different and be built at different times. She stated she prefers wrought iron fencing with landscaping over wood fencing. Caron Murchison, 406 West Glade. She stated 11 homes would be built adjacent to her property. She questioned the size of the lots. Chairman Hart reviewed the minimum requirements of a PUD-R and the applicant's proposal. Ms. Murchison stated the development would increase the amount of traffic on Glade Road by at least 250 cars. Priscilla Jordan, 3900 Glade Creek Drive, Hurst. She stated the land is difficult to develop. She stated that it is not likely to have large lots in the area, and her concerns over traffic. Henry Erben, 312 West Glade. He stated that Colleyville residents take pride in their property, and that the right thing should be done for Colleyville citizens. Derek DeGuire, 189 Harwood Road, Hurst. He stated he met with Mr. Erben some time ago to discuss the development of this property. He stated he would agree to install the fencing along the eastern property line before the first resident moves into the addition. He stated he is willing to provide this as part of the record at the Hurst city council meeting. Commissioner Hill asked what type of fencing. Mr. DeGuire stated wood fencing. Commissioner Fletcher stated that requiring something other than wood would put an undue burden on the developer. Mr. DeGuire stated he would like to have a recommendation from the Commission so they could be heard by the Council. He stated he would agree to the open space and landscaping at the entrance to the subdivision. He stated the fence on the east property line would be built before the first building permit would be issued. Henry Erben, 312 West Glade.

There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Hart closed the public hearing. Commissioner Edwards asked if the city limit line does not change, how would the taxing authority situation be affected. Staff stated it looks as if the city limit line would only affect the back yard, and the lots would likely be taxed according depending upon which city they would be located in. Staff stated that both Hurst and Colleyville city councils must approve the change, and the change would be considered as part of the plat. Commissioner Fletcher stated that PUD-R zoning must be looked at on case-by-case basis. He discussed traffic patterns in the area, open space and utilities. He stated the offer of the fence is good for the residents in the area. He stated the increased right-of-way would provide additional setbacks for houses backing up to Glade Road. He stated the developer addressed the Commission's concerns about providing a divided entry. Commissioner Hill stated the lot sizes and open space situation have not changed. He stated his concerns about increased traffic and the road connection to Glade Road. Commissioner Collins stated he is concerned that the development does not meet any of the PUD-R requirements. He stated even though the size is very small, it should meet at least some of the requirements. Commissioner Edwards stated she recognizes this as a reasonable solution to development in the area and is satisfied with the concessions granted by the developer. Commissioner Rutherford stated the developer has made significant concessions since the first meeting and has no major concerns about the development. Chairman Hart stated that the developer has agreed to many changes and concerns by the city staff and the Commission, and that the Commission is only looking at the 24 lots in Colleyville.
