Final PUD Approval of change in front building setback from 25’ to 15’ in the neo-traditional neighborhood of Phase 5, of the Northern Tract of Godley Villages.

On December 3, 2001, Mayor and Council gave final PUD approval of the Northern Tract of the Godley Station.  The major difference in this project and the first phases of Godley Village is the smaller neo-traditional style neighborhood located around a 1.6 acre rotary.  The homes will have rear entry garages accessed from paved alleys located along the rear of the lots.  The original plans approved at that time showed a 25’ front building setback.  The plans were approved by the PUD Review Board since it met the PUD Development Standards adopted by Branigar for the Godley Station.  The construction plans have been submitted for review and approval.  Developer Jack Wardlaw would like to change his plans to show a 15’ front building setback instead of the approved 25’ in the neo-traditional neighborhood.  A letter was received from International Paper Realty Corporation approving the request.   

Developer Jack Wardlaw explained to the members of the PUD Review Board his concept of a true neo-traditional neighborhood.  These homes will have front porches, approximately 1800 to 2000 square feet with a landscaped park across the street.  For safety of the children, there will be no parking around the rotary.  All visitors would use the rear entries to park.  Following some discussion, Debbie Ryan Watts made a motion to approve the change in the front setback from 25’ to 15’.  Motion was seconded by Larry Olliff and passed with Dennis Jones opposing. 

There being no further business to come before the PUD Review Board, a motion was made to adjourn.
