Described as Abstract 1241, Tract 215, Located on Keaton Rd.
Public Hearing Opened.
Shirlene Wright indicated that she had the impression that SF3
was three houses to an acre. She indicated that what Mr.
Bourland wanted to put on this land was more than three houses
to an acre. She indicated that she and her family lived next
to the property in question, and that the type of houses Mr.
Bourland wanted to put on the property were too small, too
close together, would be a fire hazard, and cause property
values to go down.
Discussion on the restrictions for SF3 zoning.
Discussion on if Mr. Bourland was requesting SF3 zoning.
City Secretary, and Mr. Bourland indicated he was.
City Secretary indicated his drawing was more than three units
per acre, but they were with in the lot size restriction which
was 60'X100'.
Discussion on the restrictions, and whether the restriction
was the size of the lot, or if they were restricted to 3 units
per acre.
City Secretary indicated the size of the lot was the required
size, and that the home Mr. Bourland was planning to build on
these lots was within all the requirements of the ordinance,
and the lot would accommodate it with all the required
setbacks etc.
City Secretary indicated that staff had sent out twenty nine
letters to property owners, and out of the twenty nine, five
had responded, and only one had disapproved.
Mr. Bourland indicated there were not any homes in Sanger for
sale, or any lots in town where a nice home could be built.
He indicated that he was trying to provide homes for people
who wanted to move into this area.
Discussion about on-street parking in the already existing
Bourland Addition.
City Administrator indicated this hearing was for the purpose
of Changing the zoning on this property from Agriculture to
Single Family 3, the purpose was not to approve the plat, or
approve more than three houses to an acre. He indicated this
was solely for the purpose of allowing him to build houses,
not necessarily as many houses as were presented in the
drawing.
Discussion on restrictions, and whether the restriction is
three units per acre or 6000 sq ft. lots.
Joe Falls asked if it was possible to have a 1200 sq ft. house
with a two car garage on this size lot without making an
exception in the requirements as far as setbacks.
Mr. Bourland explained the house would be 1200 sq ft., with
approximately 400 sq ft. for the garage, including the porch
the total slab area would be approximately 1900 sq ft., it
would exceed all requirements for SF3 zoning.
Mary Belle Sims indicated once again, they were only there to
approve the zoning change, and not the building plans.
Rick Carter indicated to Mr. Bourland that before it comes
before them to approve the final plat, he will need to change
the plans and reduce the number of lots.
City Secretary indicated before it comes before them for final
plat, it could be sent to the City Engineer for his
recommendation and approval, and he could advise on the
restrictions and code concerning the lot size.
Public Hearing Closed.
