5:00 O'CLOCK AND WE WILL CALL THIS REGULAR MEETING OF THE MIDLOTHIAN ZONING COMMISSION TO ORDER.

WE DO HAVE A QUORUM SO WE WILL PROCEED.

ITEM ONE CITIZENS TO BE HEARD, DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ANYTHING THAT IS ALREADY LISTED ON THE AGENDA?

[003 Consider and act upon a request to allow for direct residential driveway access onto FM 875 relating to the development of ±5.358 acres for a single-family residential use out of the N.N. J.J. and B.L. Edwards Survey, Abstract No. 340. The property is located at 3281 East FM 875 (Case No. M25-2021-175).]

>> THANK YOU, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 6.1 SUBDIVISION REGULAR AND IT STATES THAT ANYTHING A FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING THAT WANTS TO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS ONTO A PUBLIC STREET, DEPENDING UPON THE TYPE OF ROAD HAS TO HAVE OR GO THROUGH COMMITTEE FOR DRIVEWAY ACCESS AND THE PROPOSED LOT IN FRONT OF YOU IS A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING AND THEY ARE REQUESTING FOR DREAD ACCESS ONTO A 75 WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. WE DID LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING LOTS AND WE FIGURE WE COULD USE A SHARED CONNECTION FOR THIS SLOT. IT IS FAR ENOUGH EAST ON SUBJECT THAT WE WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A SHARED DRIVEWAY ACCESS AGREEMENTS. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: THE PROPOSED DRIVE MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE CITY STANDARD CONSTRUCTION DETAILS; JOB WEIGHT PLACED SHALL BE THE FINAL BASEMENT OF THE DRIVE I SHALL BE BY THE CITY ENGINEER OR PRIOR TO THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS FROM TEXTILE ARE OBTAINED.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

>> WHERE EXACTLY ON A 25 IS THIS?

>> THIS IS LOCATED ON A 75 DIRECTLY WEST OF LONG GO VISTA SUBDIVISION. IT IS THE PROPERTY THAT WAS SPLIT HALFWAY IN THE ET J WITHIN THE CITY OF [INAUDIBLE].

CORRECT AND THIS IS A LOT THAT IS SUBDIVIDED WILL NOT.

RIGHT, YES, CORRECT. IT IS ACTUALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

>> [INAUDIBLE] >> HEARTS AND HE STATES, THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT. LAGO VISTA IS WAY UP NORTHEAST.

CORRECT, IT WOULD JUST BE-RIGHT. >> QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS? WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE COMMISSION?

[004 Consider and act upon a request for a Preliminary Plat of Reserves of Somercrest, being ± 10.79 acres of land, situated within the Alexander Jenkins Survey, Abstract 554, City of Midlothian, Ellis County (Case No. PP23-2021-164).]

>> THANK YOU. BACK IN JULY THE PROPERTY OWNER DID REZONE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR TO BE PART OF PLAN DEVELOP MEANT DISTRICT NUMBER 34 A AND THIS IS FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING AND APPROXIMATELY 10.79 ACRES OR CONSISTS OF 16 RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND THREE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION LOTS. THE CUL-DE-SAC LINK DOES EXCEED OUR MAXIMUM REQUIREMENT IN THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS HOWEVER, WHEN THE PD WAS APPROVED THIS EXTENSION WAS ALSO APPROVED AT THIS TIME. THE ROAD THAT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE WILL BE PRIVATE AND WILL BE GATED AND WILL BE REQUIRED TO

[00:05:03]

STAFF DOES REGIMEN APPROVAL AS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND THE TEXTILE GOVERNMENT CODE. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT

THIS TIME. >> QUESTIONS.

>> DID YOU SAY IT IS GATED? >> YES, SIR.

>> REFRESH MY MEMORY ON, I KNOW WE HAVE RUN INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THIS WITH-WHAT IS THE ONE BY HARVEST HILL CHURCH?

THE CREEK SOMETHING. >> COTTONWOOD.

>> YEAH. >> ON GATED COMMUNITIES DOESN'T THAT PROVIDE A LIMITATION ON EMERGENCY ACCESS AND IT IS NOT THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IT BUT I'M TRYING TO REFRESH MY MEMORY

HOW THAT- >> WITH A PRIVATE ROAD THEY ARE STILL REQUIRING EMERGENCY EXIT PERMITS SUCH AS THE ROAD HAS TO BE A CERTAIN WIDTH, HAS TO BE OF A CERTAIN STANDARD WHEN THEY DO CONSTRUCTION SO OUR VEHICLES CAN ACTUALLY GET ONTO THE PROPERTY.

IF IT IS A GATED, IT REQUIRED TO HAVE A KNOCK BOX OR SLOT SO THEY PLEASE AND FIRE CAN ACCESS THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO KNOCK DOWN THE FENCE. THEY DO HAVE RESEARCH AND THEY

ARE REQUIRED TO BE. >> LAST QUESTION WOULD BE THAT I HAVE NOT GOT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND BUT THERE IS A, A SITUATION WHERE BECAUSE IT IS GATED WE AS A CITY DON'T UPKEEP THAT ROAD UNLESS IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, IS THAT MAINTENANCE PLACED UPON

THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION? >> PLACE UPON THE HOMEOWNERS WITHIN THAT GATED COMMUNITY SO IT WILL BE NOT MAINTAINING.

>> I'M JUST TRYING TO REFRESH MY MEMORY.

COMMISSION. >> MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
