3. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO THE ADOPTION OF NEW PROVISIONS
FOR THE LOCATION AND SCREENING OF ELECTRIC TRANSFORMERS IN PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 16. APPLICANT: TERRA/KNOLL, LTD. (REP -03-014)
Mr, Spain addressed the Commission and explained the need for the ordinance repeal.
In the past, Mr. Spain has dealt with Tri County Electric rather than TXU/Oncor. After Mr.
Spain had made a change to his PID in order to allow the transformer boxes to be
located in the front of the lots, he was told by TXU that the location approved in both
the development standards of the zoning ordinance as well as the Final Plat are too
close to the structures. TXU requires a minimum 20' distance.
Mr. Spain is back before the Commission to request a change to the current zoning
requirements for the transformer boxes. The location will be approximately twelve feet
(12') to sixteen feet (16') behind the curb and within the existing easement. The boxes
will be screened with landscaping. Mr. Spain will initially install and maintain the
landscaping until each lot with a box is sold. At that time, the property owners will be
responsible to maintaining the live screening,
Chairman Hill stated the Commission would be conducting their public hearing on this
item at their 20 February 2003 meeting.
4. REVIEW AND APPROVE MINUTES:
A. 16 JANUARY 2003
