By estabhsh,ng a general maximum setback for houses at I[ .-"'~~'
the same distance (20 feet, In this example) as the minimum _- -
setback for front-facing garages, garage doors will not be
located closer to the street than the houses themselves ln the {
absence of such a standard, garages frequently protrude -'------=-
significantly toward the street, causing homes to become
"snout houses," with large garage doors dominating the
srreetscape and residential front doors and windows
becoming secondary elements, which is extremely
unattractive and completely unnecessary
When developers of detached houses become fixated on
making lots as narrow as possible to save pennies on
infrastructure, and when they also reject the rear service lane
approach, the results can be hideous, which looks like the
hands-down winner ora contest to produce the least appealing
resldennal streetscape on the continent I-
In Carmel, Indiana, Plttman Partners has demonstrated that
narrow homes can look great if garage doors are not located on
the front facades but, instead, face to the side or rear
The popular behef that rear service lanes add considerably to Desrgns wzth project.~ggarages are becoming known as
costs is not necessarily true The key is to ensure that these lanes 'snout houses"
Portland Bans the Snout House
At first, it was a fight Builders generally didn't hke
the idea of outlax~ mg garages that dominate housing
design, but neighborhood advocates did The
planning comm~ssion recommended the proposal to
the city council, but debate continued Some
Portland, Oregon, clt', council members worried
about the intrusion of government into matters of
taste Eventually, hox~ ever, they lined up unammously
behind a proposed ordinance to ban what C~me to be
known as "snout houses"
What is a snout house~ Simply put, a house that
projects irs garage forward toward the street,
sometimes obscuring the presence of the resldennal

Re Bluff~ew Vdlas, a mult~-fmmly development for scmor a~.ens m Denton
CoH~mssloner,
This letter is being wnttan to belp keep you reformed of the work we are doing to help insure the success of our request before the
C~ty of Denton tO rezone the property located South OfU S 380, North of Mmgo Rd, and East of streets Creek, Choctaw, and
Senunule from Single Fanuly 7 (future NR-3) to Multt-F~m~7 1 (future NCMU~12)
With the help of/v~s Beth Hudson of the / 1' '
City of Denton H~nntn§ depal~aent, wc
conducted a neighborhood mec~ng on the
15th of Februao7
Dut W the concerns that many of the
neighbors voiced at the neighborhood
meeting, my clients dcoded to chan§o the
project to a scm0r's commumty The
development woUld still be constructed m a
mulU-i~mdy nathre, but due to the natur~ of
the semor hfestyle, impacts lo traffic and
no]sc would be reduced and becansc tho
bmldmgs ar~ much ~rnAIler, we are able to
provide a buffer of 100 feet fn)m the homes
on the East beundmy and 50 feet from the
mult~-f~mdy and comme~wiul uses on
West along with reducing and redtreetmg
drmnage away flx)m the homes to our East
Parkland & Design
A pubhc park ~s proposed on the Northeast mdc of the property to buffer some of the homes on the east and to prowde a meeting
place for the seniors, and the emsRug neighbors on the east and west
Pubhc Naght of Way v, ull be dechcated for access to the park The road is designed to be an integral part of the v~saon that Denton
has for the future of development m the C~ty The meet utfltms a dnaded entry fles~gn w~th a one-way 'round-a-bout' at the eed
that would dehver tratli¢ into and out of beth the ~mor commumty and the puhh¢ pm'k
Some renderings of the entry are mcluded on the next sheet that wtll help you vtsnah?e thc entry (The renderings correspond to
the numbered arrows )
V~ew #1 shows the road as v~ew from the mdc, walk
along Umvermty Drive
View #2 xs toward the South strmght down the
proposed street
V~ew #3 is the v~ew one would have from the
proposed park toward the 'round-a-bout'
Drainage
Another concern Of the neighborhood ~s the current drnmage problem that is occurring on Choctaw As you can see from tins
topo~aplnc elevation study of the rote, much of the north s~de of the property, a major posen of the Bowling alley site, and the
ex~stmg mult~-f~m~ !ly proper~y sheet flows across the subject property and rotc Choctaw where the water ~s then routed m the
siroets to a gras~lmed ch~nne! located a few blocks east
Our proposul would take tho dlmango that
flows flora thc Bowling alley, ex,sUn§
mul~-~mdy, and mu~h of tho northern
secUon of our pmpen'y and &vert the o, 6 6 o
water m l'nvate Street and storm sewer
systems to a detention pond on the 6 ? o
Southwest corner of our property The
rel~qllll~g area d~!ntng into Choctaw
would equate to less drmna§e than what Is ~
cm-r~tly flowing into tho streets and the ~
lots Of our neighbors to tho east ~

North
Umvemty Drive is scheduled for nnprovemants by the State TexDot's plans do not show a mea~n cut du~ctly across f~m our
property, nor across fxom Glanwood. Th~s oimss~on allows us to place the proposed right of way near the nnddle of our northern
bounda~yhne, noXtwthepark, and as far as poss~ble from the Ruddell ~nterscc~on Below ~s the TexDOT plan as of November
13, 2000 that dlustrates the me/hah cuts pl~ned for Umvemty As one can see traffic into and out of the s~te would be forced to
make right turns
If the TexDOT improvements do not occur prior to commencement of the constructmn on flus property, a right decderaUon lane
would be bmlt to get turmng automobdes out of the iraffi¢ flow A ccnler turn lane currently exists for left movements into the
property
South
The proposed Southern entry to tl~ property would I~ located du'ectly across from Pertain Mmgo Rd m classflied on the C~ty's
Thoroughfare pllm as a Seconda~j Major Artonal w~th 90 feet of right of way from the Ratlroad's 100 feet. We'r~ pmpomn§ a

Nancy some of our initial concerns about the new zoning
recommendations are:
1. Being blocked in by high density Commercial to the East
(Across ~om Wooclrow Lane) Commercial on Dallas Drive/potential
High-Rxse buildings to the West (Downtown Core) and Heavy
Commercial to the South (Dallas Drive) and High Density to the North'
East McKil~ney Southeast Denton w~ll become a sandwich!
2. Downtown Core (should not extend beyond Bell Avenue into
the neighborhood. Doing so, ensures the same thing we have with
Morrison's and Redi-Mix, but in a different way
3. Make sure Fred Moore Park is zoned for "open space"
somehow. In our area that is critical This does not need to be zoned
for any residential potential.
4. On Wood Street (100 block etc.) Block ~s zoned Mru-12 and can
include multi family Should be zoned for single faintly
5. Zoning on Alexander should be the same as all other residential
(Single Family)
6. Zoving between Skinner St and Maddox, should be changed
from Multi family to single family. It is across from the Concrete Plant
and inappropriate for Multi-family. Too close to Downtown Core
zoning and potential multi-high buildings (Since Redi-lVhx Plant is
sitting on property that at one time was single family, should the Redi-
Mix Plant sale or go under, it should be zone for single family.
7 There is a trader park on Smxth Street that would bccomc non-con
forming should the trailer shut down. Th~s should be Single-Family Zoning.
o3/ol/Ol 14 52 FAX 9405554952 UNT TEACHER EDUCATION ~oo3/oo3
8 500-600 BLOCK OF SMITH STREET . Since "m-humane" and
undignified zoning of the past affect citizens of Southeast Denton at the
present. Care should be taken to create a buffer rule ordinance to protect
citizens from such a piuful sight as exists there now
9 Since anything goes was the zoning practice for soooooo many years, ~t
only humane to prevent such businesses as dense concentrauons of pawn
shops, ma & pop shops and the like to engulf the Southeast Neighborhood.
As the neighborhood works on beautification projects, we would hate to see
projects all around the neighborhood, intensifying to the point of forming a
"boxed in" effect.
10 Persons hwng on Newton Street and surrounding area, are concerned
about the County (we realize they can overrule City Zoning) clamamg more
and more property for the purpose ofmorelml facilities
These are our main concerns at tlus point Any others, we will relay to you at
a later date.
