The overview
The garages will allow local collectors to store high-value items, such as cars or arcade games, in a climate-controlled unit, applicant Skye Thibodeaux from Enki Development said.
The units will be owned due to the requests from the neighbors at the Villas at Oak Pointe with base prices of $150,000 to $575,000, according to city documents.
The plan includes one 11,772-square-foot building with seven luxury garage units and three 16,914-square-foot buildings with 14 garage units each.
In addition, the applicant will add a building dedicated to about 6,000 square feet of commercial and retail adjacent to the luxury garages, Thibodeaux said. That lot will also include 50 parking spaces.
The details
The garage units will be maintained by the property owners association, which is similar to a homeowners association, Thibodeaux said.
Though the luxury garages will have glass doors, they will be tinted to a commercial degree, meaning sunlight will not reflect off of them, Thibodeaux noted.
Additionally, overnight stays and outside storage are prohibited within the development, according to city documents.
The storage spaces that currently exist on the property will remain because it was all part of one planned unit development when the property was first zoned in 2010, Colleyville City Manager Jerry Ducay said.
“Because it all was approved as one big PUD, we went back and amended that entire PUD to reflect what we think is a higher quality use on this remaining piece [of property],” Ducay said.
This item was first tabled in planning and zoning Jan. 13 so the applicant could talk with the neighbors, then approved unanimously March 10.
What else?
Thibodeaux discussed landscaping with the neighbors in the Villas at Oak Pointe with some of the residents wanting large evergreen trees on the border of the property adjacent to the townhomes. Though Thibodeaux isn’t opposed to that, he wants a wide variety of greenery so that the plants have an easier time of surviving.
The final ordinance states that the landscape plan will be brought to city staff for approval at a later date.
Next steps
Thibodeaux plans to meet with the design team to bring construction drawings to City Council within the next few months. He anticipates the groundbreaking will occur in 12-18 months.
