Y First Reading of an ordinance to rezone 52.4 acres in the William Roberts Survey,
formerly known as a portion of Berry Creek Subdivision, Section Five, and a
Resubdivision of the Sybert Subdivision, to be known as Berry Creek, Section Five, from
A, Agricultural to RS, Residential Single Family, RP, Residential Planned, and C-1,
Local Commercial, or any more restrictive districts, located on SH -195 and the existing
Berry Creek development -- Edward Barry and Hildy Kingma
Kingma explained that this is one of three related items on this agenda that Council had
seen at the March 25 Meeting, and had asked that the developer meet with the residents
again before bringing it back to Council. Kingma told Council that she also met with the
neighborhood and applicant representatives as requested. Wood asked Kingma to give
the Council a general overview of the changes since the neighborhood meetings.
Kingma spoke of three concerns: (1) the type of development along the golf course, (2)
the garden homes, (saying a lot of the residents' concerns are issues the City doesn't
normally become involved in); and (3) a transportation issue that the applicant cannot
resolve on his own.
Kingma read the caption only on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of
the City Charter.
Dot Lovett, 30208 Briarcrest Drive, yielded her time to Carla Lowry.
Lowry, 30208 Briarcrest Drive, said there were some very good meetings, but they had
come to an impasse regarding the garden homes. She said today she talked to Coffman
who told her there would be no garden homes. She quoted an article from The Sun
saying that the Berry Creek homeowners were having difficulty reaching a commitment
from Coffman. She said there have been concessions made, but there are still certain
desires of the homeowners regarding the exterior materials to be used on the garden
homes, and the positioning of those homes and the commercial establishments. She
asked Council to delay the request until those items could be worked out.
Jack Hunnicutt, 1809
E.
16th Street,
said there is no agreement on Section 3, the area
immediately adjacent
to
the existing
garden homes.
Randall Reeves, 30401 St. Andrews Drive, said he was speaking on behalf of the rest of
Berry Creek other than the garden homes. He said there has been a proposal to cul-de-
sac an intersection that would impact the homes on St. Andrews Drive. He asked
Council not to approve that proposal.
Developer Jimmy Coffman said the three major issues were: (1) commercial
development on the golf course (RM -3), saying that they had agreed to fencing, masonry
construction, landscaping and underground utilities; (2) style and quality of homes on
City Council Agenda/April 22, 1997
Page 5 of 9 Pages
golf course saying that he agreed to build garden homes on lots 70 feet wide or smaller,
with masonry, fencing, and underground utilities. He said that at the time that section is
developed he will build whatever the market will allow, saying it might not be garden
homes, but still agrees to build garden homes on lots of 70 foot width or smaller.
Dot Lovett asked to go ahead and speak. She told Council that she lives in one of the
existing garden homes in Berry Creek and that the garden homes are completely
surrounded by the proposed new development.
Motion by Vincent to deny the rezoning. He said he feels there are still too many
unknown areas of discussion between Coffman and the homeowners, and that the Berry
Creek residents had been promised protection when they were annexed. The motion died
for lack of second.
Motion by Arroyos to approve the rezoning. Second by Hoyt. Approved 6-1 (Vincent
opposed) Vincent said he thinks the City should address the traffic situation, and asked
that the collector street issue be revisited.
Z First reading of an ordinance amending Exhibit 1 of the Century Plan - Development
Plan for a 40.1 acre portion of 52.4 acres in the William Roberts Survey, formerly known
as a portion of the Berry Creek Subdivision, Section Five, from Intensity Level Three to
Intensity Level Four and a 5.9 acre portion and a 2.1 acre portion of a resubdivision of
the Sybert Subdivision from Intensity Level Three to Intensity Level Four and Intensity
Level Five, to be known as Berry Creek, Section Five, located between SH -195 and the
existing Berry Creek development -- Edward Barry and Clyde von Rosenberg
von Rosenberg read the caption only after having satisfied the requirements of the City
Charter.
Lowry asked Council to consider the ramifications of changing the Century Plan,
especially if it made those areas more dense. Bain pointed out that unless the Century
Plan were changed, the garden homes could not be built. von Rosenberg confirmed that
there would be capacity to serve the intensity that was being proposed.
Motion
by
Hoyt to
approve the ordinance on first reading to amend the Century Plan.
Second
by
Burson.
Approved 6-1 (Vincent apposed)
AA Consideration of a Concept Plan of 52.4 acres in the William Roberts Survey, formerly
known as a portion of Berry Creek, Section Five, and a Resubdivision of the Sybert
Subdivision, to be known as Berry Creek, Section Five, located between SH -195 and the
existing Berry Creek development -- Edward Barry and Hildy Kingma
City Council Agenda/April 22, 1997
Page 6 of 9 Pages
Kingma asked Council to give direction as to whether the discussions at the
neighborhood meetings be included in the Concept Plan.
Lowry asked that Council require the concessions to be included in the Concept Plan and
asked them to consider that Briarcrest would be a cul-de-sac and other modifications be
made to other streets.
Vincent asked if there were a way to design a loop road out to Highway 190. Kingma
said there would be a local street stub -out, but there is not a collector street planned to
connect to Highway 190 at this time.
8:33 p.m. Recess - Resumed at 8:45 p.m.
Using overheads, Kingma pointed out the collector streets that would be required at the
time the areas are developed, as well as other local street connections that were noted on
the plan. Vincent asked that Briarcrest end in a cul-de-sac and Ledgemont end in a
hammer -head for the time being, to be extended later when the Bishop Tract is
developed. Hoyt expressed concern that the inter -connectivity of the neighborhood
would be blocked and asked if there were a timeframe for development of the Bishop
Tract. Kingma said the timeframe is unknown at this time.
Motion by Arroyos,
second
by Hoyt to approve the Concept Plan as
presented and passed
by the Planning and
Zoning
Commission, with notes on the Concept
Plan as follows:
a. Fifty (50) percent of the required Landscaping will be located between the
buildings and the golf course in Tract 7, and the buildings will be setback at least
the minimum required 20 feet.
b. A fence will be built in its entirety along the golf course within 30 days of the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first building (a certificate of
occupancy is required by the City before any human occupancy and indicates that
all code requirements have been met). Fences (type not specified) will extend
approximately 100 feet up the side property lines.
c. All parking and trash receptacles will not be located on the golf course side of
buildings, and trash receptacles will be screened from the view of the course.
d. All architectural design items will be enforced by deed restrictions for the
property and will not be enforced by the City.
City Council Agenda/April 22, 1997
Page 7 of 9 Pages
e. The golf course frontage lots in Tracts 3 and 5 must either be garden homes as
defined by the "typical lot" drawing included with the RP zoning or minimum 70
foot wide lots.
f. All the development will have predominatly 100 percent underground utilities
(not including transformers and other appropriate appurtenances).
Approved 6-1. (Vincent opposed) Vincent wants to go on record to oppose this motion
and wants the roadway stubbed to the south property line so it can be built to Highway
190,
BB Consideration of a Preliminary Plat of a 17.93 acre tract in the David Wright Survey, to
be known as Sunset Oaks West - Phase One, located on Booty's Crossing Road, with
variances to the Subdivision Regulations -- Edward Barry and Hildy Kingma
Kingma told Council that this was the first phase for this development. She noted that
the Planning and Zoning Commission had voted to approve the plat but denied the
variance. She said the applicant is still requesting approval of the variance but changing
the setback to 20 feet instead of 15 feet.
Don Bizzell, representing the applicant, explained that the reason for asking for the 20
foot variance was to allow development of three homes instead of two. Kingma
explained the objection to that variance from staff and the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Motion by Bain to approve as presented but to change the frontyard
setbacks of Lots 7, 8, and 9 of Block B and Lots 5, 6, and 7 of Block C. along Golden
Sky Lane to 20 feet and the front yard setbacks of those same lots along Horizon Drive,
Sunset Oaks West Drive, and Amber Dusk Drive to 25 feet. Second by Davis.
Approved 7-0.
CC Consideration of paying $850 for tap fees for Village of River Bend pocket park from
Council Contingency -- Mayor Wood and Councilmember Lee Bain
Bain asked the procedure to use to take the money from Council Contingency. Hart
explained that those fees are revenues to be added to the utility fund, so typically the
money is taken from Council Contingency. Motion by Bain, second by Arroyos to pay
the tap fee from the Council Contingency Fund. Approved 7-0.
DD Consideration of Council direction
to staff relative
to solid waste services
including
negotiating a contract extension or
preparation of a
Request for Proposal -- Bob Hart

having a workshop about the solid waste issues on the May 13 Meeting.
Motion by Davis to defer this item to the next Council Meeting. Second by Hoyt.
Approved 7-0.
The registered speakers: Ralph Wueller of Texas Disposal Systems, Jack Clement of BFI,
and Loren Alexander of Waste Management/Longhorn Disposal chose to wait until the
