DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

(1978); R-1 Single Family Residential (1969)
Site development: Vacant with a single-family dwelling on Lot 11.
COMMENTS
Water: The subject tract is located adjacent to a 24-inch water main, which runs along
the northern side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway. This preliminary plat illustrates the
future extension of an 8-inch water line to serve Lot 2, Block 2.
Sewer: The subject tract is located adjacent to a 21-inch sanitary sewer main, which runs
along Bee Creek Trib. B just opposite this property. This preliminary plat
illustrates the future extension of a 6-in sanitary sewer line to serve all 3
proposed lots.
Streets: The subject property has frontage along Harvey Mitchell Parkway, a Major
Arterial on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. Since TxDOT maintains Harvey
Mitchell Parkway, a TxDOT driveway permit will be required to construct any
access to this property. This preliminary plat does illustrate the future extension
of a minor collector roadway (Minar Court) to serve Lot 2, Block 2.
Off-site Easements: None known at this time.
Drainage: The subject tract is Located within the Bee Creek Trib. B drainage basin.
Development of this tract will be required to meet all City Drainage Guidelines.
Flood Plain: The subject tract is encroached by a Special Flood Hazard Area —Zone AE
(base flood elevations determined), per FEMA FIRM Panel 182C. The City has
recently completed a capital improvement project on the Bee Creek watershed
adjacent to this tract. The project's associated flood study is still under way, and
the final limits of a revised 100-year floodplain boundary have not been submitted
to or adopted by FEMA.
Oversize Request: None known at this time.
Parkland Dedication
Fees: Currently, none is required. If Phase 2 is subdivided in the future for
townhouse lots, then parkland dedication requirements would apply.
Impact Fees: None.
REVIEW CRITERIA

Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates the majority of the subject area as Planned

property is already zoned C-3 Light Commercial along Harvey Mitchell Parkway, R-3

Townhouse in the middle portion, A-O Agricultural Open along Bee Creek and Lot 11 being
zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. The property has frontage on Harvey Mitchell
Parkway, a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. Bike paths are proposed on the
Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan along Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Bee Creek. The applicant
is providing a 12-foot wide public access easement along Harvey Mitchell Parkway to
accommodate the proposed sidewalk and future bike path. Any future bike path along Bee
Creek will be located along the western side, or opposite side, of the creek from this
property so no easement or dedication is required for this plat.
2. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The preliminary plat complies with the
Subdivision Regulations. The plat proposes that a future replat of Lot 11, Block 14
Southwood Section 25 will incorporate the 0.363 acre area of the existing tract to provide
additional buffer from future development of this tract. The remaining area of the tract is
proposed in 2 phases which are separated along the C-3 Light Commercial and R-3
Townhouse zoning boundary.
