REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF A ZONING REQUEST BY THE NICHOLS TRUST AND THE STRIEF CAPITOL CORPORATION TO HAVE PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON WYNNEWOOD PENINSULA CURRENTLY ZONED AS AGRICULTURAL CHANGED TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW MF-3 , SF-3 , SF-4 , CHURCH, SCHOOL AND RECREATIONAL USES Lynn Meyer representing the Nichols Trust explained the zoning on each tract of land, giving the square feet of the lots and homes proposed, stating 52 acres will be alloted for a 9 hole private golf course. Mr. Meyer said tract 6 & 7 are to be set aside for church, school and SF 3 uses, noting the SF 3 use is to be designated in case the land is not used for a church or school . Mr . Meyer also said 7 .7 acres is set aside for park dedication and utilities, which is close to the 4 acre site for a water tower and fire station. Agnes Foster asked about how the density transfer proposal would work and asked about traffic . Mr. Art Anderson gave the Council and P & Z a hand out explaining the plan. Mr. Anderson 0 (3 142 said there are minimum standards for the entire property, excluding tract 9. Mr. Anderson said there are no major density transfers expected, but that this will allow the transfer between any SF tracts as the need dictates. Ms. Foster asked if SF can be transferred into tract 9 , which is to be zoned Multi Family. Mr. Anderson said no that would not happen. Ms. Foster asked how r much could be transferred before the Council and P & Z would have to approve. Mr. Anderson explained it is not the home size, but the lot size, going on to say the total number of units to be transferred cannot exceed 12% of the whole. Mayor Amick asked for clarification of the transfer from tract 9 (MF) , noting that the revision seems to indicate that MF can be transferred into SF areas. Mr. Anderson explained that if less that 24 units are built in tract 9, then the builder wants to be able to build some units in other tracts, but keeping the total density in line with the whole projection. Mr. Anderson said if the use of MF was to be transferred into a SF area, that would need Council and ) & Z approval . Robert Doss suggested rewording the revision to clarify that. Councilman Harris said the transfers will have to do with numbers of units not type of use . After a lengthy discussion, Councilman Harris suggested adding the phrase "Multi Family use is limited to Tract 9" . All agreed. Mr . Anderson then went on to explain that the developers will put $150 ,000.00 in escrow to be used to improve Boyd Rd. , noting they have the utmost interest in improving that road going on to say if additional development occurs on the Strief property, then a new traffic impact study would probably be needed at time of platting. Ms. Foster asked Bill Hall what power the City has to cause improvements to a county road (Boyd Rd. ) Mr. Hall said no, but the $150 ,000.00 could be used to buy materials and the County has said they could do the work. Mayor Amick directed Mike Russell to see how far $150,000.00 will go toward those improvements. Councilman Marks ask if the Council requested that money. Mr. Anderson said that amount was calculated pro rata according to the city' s requirement plus some as an incentive to the County to encourage improvement to the road, noting the amount is based on a 4 lane concrete, curb and gutter type road, going on to say this was done to ensure the City that the development will in fact occur. There followed a lengthy discussion regarding signalization of 423 and Boyd, noting if the State deems in necessary then the signal will be put in. Mr. Hall said if the Strief traffic study shows that the road is not sufficient, then other steps will be taken . Mr. Anderson said because the first study included the whole Nichols tract, it is assumed the study is valid and the new study shows improvements are ' needed then the owner will address those. Councilman Weaver asked about the service plan and how it fits in with the plans to improve the sewer problems in the Eastvale addition. Mr. Anderson said if all goes according to plan , it is the intent to put in an oversized line to handle those improvements , but that the development has not gone far ii , 4' enough yet to work out those details. Councilman Weaver asked about the proposed creation of a M . U . D . Mr . Anderson said this is hopefully a temporary situation. Mayor Amick said a M.U.D. can be developed under the City, then there is not problem with a merger, the City can just dissolve the M.U.D. 2 . CONSIDERATION OF ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS A RESULT OF THE WORK SESSION Billy Owens asked for clarification regarding the M.F. on tract 9 and the Mayor said the MF use is limited to Tract 9 only.
