Commission recommends duplex CUP with fencing, access and easement conditions; vote 6‑1
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow duplexes on Lot 12 (about 0.16 acres) with conditions on unit count, fence materials and reduced public utility easement; the motion passed 6‑1 with Vice‑Chairman Oostermeyer opposing.
Director of Development Services Scarlet Moreno introduced a public hearing for a Conditional Use Permit to allow duplexes on a roughly 0.16‑acre site (Lot 12, Block 294). Resident Donna Feuge spoke during public comment expressing concerns about traffic, potential property devaluation and sidewalks. Applicant Luke Adkins addressed the commission about the proposed housing product, courtyard fence height and access to adjacent property.
Commissioners debated a roof encroachment, the width of the public utility easement adjacent to Trinity Street and fence heights/materials. Commissioner Danny Miller moved to recommend approval to City Council with staff recommendations and specific conditions: the project is limited to one one‑story building with a maximum of two dwelling units; fencing along Trinity Street cannot exceed 6 feet and must be masonry; fencing along Pecan Valley must be 4 feet in height; a plan for access to adjacent property must be submitted; and the public utility easement adjacent to Trinity Street is to be reduced to 10 feet. The motion passed 6‑1 (Vice‑Chairman Darlene Oostermeyer opposed).
