He also stated that they would propose to do something with the existing City park to the north of the proposed development, in the 50 x 50 foot area inside that City park; they will have to come up with a design, curb with swingset or whatever the city needs in that park.

Central Point Dallas Page, applicant, came forward with a rebuttal to the opposition and stated that this is not a regular single family subdivision, it is a PUD. They are asking only for a zoning change that others in the area have asked for. They do not have storage buildings in the back yards. The chain link fence will be covered by bushes to be planted along the fence. One-half of the units have side yards. Chairman Piland asked Mr. Page if they were going to put in a fence between the subdivision and the park. Mr. Page stated that it was not planned but if the city wants a fence they would put it in. He stated that CC&R's cannot control rentals. The Homeowners Association will take care of all the open space. The individual owners will take care of their own yards. If the owners do not take care of their yards, the CC&R's will come into play.

Commissioner Gilkey stated that before going any further on this project, he wanted to see: (1) The engineer's establishment of the 100 year flood zone, (2) to see plans for the east side of the project as if it were a single family subdivision with 12 to 15 units, (3) what is going to happen to the R.V. Storage on Hanley Road with the additional 10 feet of right-of-way for the City, (4) the units to be a little further away from the east property line, (5) the CC&R's to show a strongly worded stipulation that if property owners don't take care of their property, the association can take care of it and charge them for it.
