REVISIONS TO W00DLAND HILLS WEDINGTON/GAR BND - RALPH GRAY The first item of consideration today was proposed revisions to the preliminary plat of Woodland Hills located at 1200 W. Wedington Drive west of Garland. Property owned and represented by Ralph Gray. Gray explained that the change proposed is to add 62 units to the previously planned 100 units. He said he proposes all structures at 6 units each instead of the previously planned 4 -unit structures. Planning Administrator Jones noted that this proposal is within the density for condos in an R-2 zone, which this project is in. She also advised that Al Hughes, an area resident, had called the Planning Office earlier today to express his concern regarding the high number of units. She said he has offered the use of his driveway to police units for the purpose of radar scanning of traffic on Wedington.' Jacks asked when James Street will be constructed and Gray replied that it must be improved at the time 40 units are completed or within one year. He advised that his development plan has been shortened from 24 to 18 months. Jones noted that the -parks fee will increase according to the increase in number of units which will be discussed at the PRAB meeting on April 27 at 4 p.m. Jacks said he had no problem with this increase and Madison agreed, noting that the plan was the same in spirit as previously submitted. Gray noted that the internal sidewalk plan will remain the same. Jacks asked if there were any problems with utility company comments made at Plat Review meeting and Gray said there were not. )31 Subdivision Committee April 19, 1985 Page 2 Madison asked if there were any indication as to where James Street will eventually go and Jones advised that there is none and that the temporary cul-de-sac will revert back to the property owners if it is extended.

DENNIS HOME FURNISHINGS ADDITION 3525 S. SCHOOL - RBNNETH DHNNIS The second item of consideration today was a proposed addition to Dennis Home Furnishings located at 3525 S. School. The petitioner was not immediately present. Jacks commented that this developer is required to appeal to the Board of Adjustment for a variance in number of parking spaces provided and he noted that he has requested a Bill of Assurance for sidewalk which was required along S. School. Jones noted that the petitioner is looking at part of his addition as a warehouse, which is a conditional use in this zone and requires only 1 parking space per 1000sq.ft. of floor area. Jones advised that there is a piece of property between this and Standard Register to the south and she added that Sunrise Mountain is on the Master Street Plan. She noted that improvements to that street could be required at the time the balance of the property is developed and she advised that the east 500 ft. of this property is zoned C-2 while the remainder is A-1. Jones said a question had been raised regarding the remodeling and shifting of internal rest -rooms which are on a septic tank system. MOTION Tarvin moved to recommend approval of this addition subject to 1. Plat Review comments; 2. Board of Adjustment approving the parking variance; 3. a sidewalk Bill of Assurance being executed; and 4. a waiver of the requirement for street improvements to Sunrise Mountain Road. Madison seconded and the motion passed 3-0-0. - 1 312 • • • • Subdivision Committee April 19, 1985 Page 3 OTHER BUSINESS: FIRST PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OF GOD 1351 MORNINGSIDE DRIVE Jones said she wished to advise this Committee that a request will be made at the Planning Commission meeting Monday April 22 for a bill of assurance on a Commission requirement to install drainage and mono- lithic sidewalk with curb and gutter along this property's frontage.
