Project Name: Salisbury Subdivision No. 2
Case No(s).: AZ~~ , PP-03-042, CUP-04-016
Applicant: Earl, Mason and Stanfield, Inc.
P&Z Commission Hearing Date: July 1, 2004
Recommendation: Approve with conditions (all ayes)
Summary of Public Hearings:
Scott Stanfield, representing the applicant, testified in favor of the application. He
provided background and overview information regarding the increased density, Venable
Lane, stub streets, etc.
Jeff Wood, developer, clarified that Indian Rocks Street would likely be constructed as a
second point of access prior to construction of Salisbury No. 2
Other key points of discussion included the revised plat layout, vacation of Venable
Lane, and reasons for the City Council remand.
Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation:
• None
Outstanding Issues for City Council:
• Preliminary Plat Date: Should the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat as
recommended by the P&Z Commission, the correct date of the plat is 6-24-04 (revision
#4).
Background: On February 19, 2004, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended
approval of Salisbury Subdivision No. 2 to the City Council (the Annexation and
Preliminary Plat). On March 16a', the Council closed the public hearings and ordered the
City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact and an Order of Decision for denial of both the
annexation and plat (see staff report). Then, on April 13`h, after receiving a six page letter
from the applicant stating a new design was done and agreements were made with the
neighboring subdivisions, the City Council agreed to not adopt the Findings and Order
and, instead, remanded the annexation and zoning (AZ-03-036) and preliminary plat (PP-
03-042) back to the Commission for a new recommendation.
Since the new plat design resulted in lot dimensions below the R-8 standards, a new
CUP/PD application was submitted and combined with the annexation and preliminary
plat. All three (3) of the applications were re-noticed by the City Clerk for a new public
hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission for July 1, 2004.
