Development Co. for a replat of approximately 2.752 acres located at 400 Bolen Rd, known as George
Case Addition Block A Lot 3, Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas. The replat would create lots 3R & 4.

Ms. Roberts said the property is located close to Interstate 20. It was originally platted with Chesapeake Oil
and Gas but they wanted to plat out a separate portion of the lot. She went over surrounding property
zonings. She said that staff found the location in compliance with our Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

B. CASE # PZ 16 -05 Public hearing and consideration of approval on a request by Linda Miller for a
minor replat of approximately 5 acres located at 411 and 431 Kevin Miller Rd, a portion of Lot 9 of the J.
M. Estes Home Tracts, Kennedale, Tarrant County, Texas. The replat would create lots 1 & 2, Block 1,
Miller Hill Addition. A variance from the cul -de -sac requirements of Section 17- 303(a)(8) is requested.
1. Staff presentation
Ms. Roberts said the property was originally platted in 1946 and that the other portion of the land was
developed and sold off separately before being annexed. She said that the applicant has to replat her
property to build another home since two homes are not allowed to be built on one platted lot. She said that
it meets most regulations except for the dead end requirement and that it can't be longer than 600 ft. Ms.
Miller had requested to build a hammerhead instead, and Ms. Roberts said the fire department had
approved the hammerhead, and staff does not see a problem with the request for a variance. She said that
sewer and water utilities are not available and that Ms. Miller is going to provide the city with easements to
be able to install water and sewer lines to make them accessible. The applicant is going to keep the current
zoning.
2. Applicant presentation
Kamaron Erbatur, 9340 Wood Duck Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76118, is Ms. Miller's engineer and she said that Ms.
Miller wants to build a new home but had to bring the replat to the commission since she can't have two
homes on one lot.
