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. 3.
