Applicant: Ron Lagrone/ Lagrone Construction Co. — Property Owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the revised Preliminary Plat. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of an amendment to the Preliminary Plat for Lakeside Village Subdivision to allow for the phasing of the development and the development of the lots for lot line construction. This amendment would create two phases of the development, which would be separated by Eagle Avenue. The plat remains identical in lot configuration. This plat received a variance at the April 6th meeting of the Commission to block length and lot configuration. The plat came back to the Commission on April 20th for reconsideration of the plat which provided pedestrian access ways per the Commission's recommendation, and changed some lot configurations that did not receive variances. This plat is identical to the plat that was approved on April 20th except for the phasing line and the addition of maintenance easements for lot line construction. Lot line construction allows the developer to offset the buildings to one side of the lot, up to the lot line, but requires that a 7.5-foot maintenance easement be provided between buildings. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies this area for Single-family Residential Medium Density. A short segment of Eagle Avenue will be extended through the development of this parcel. Longmire Drive is a Major Collector and runs north-south connecting Barron Road to FM 2818. Eagle Avenue is a Minor Collector and connects the SH 6 Frontage Road to the SH 40 Frontage Road. The southwest corner of the parcel is adjacent to a Lick Creek tributary. Item Background: This tract was annexed in 1983 and was zoned R-1 Single-family Residential in November 2005. The tract has not been previously platted. Dove Crossing Subdivision is developing to the northeast, and existing single-family subdivisions are to the south. Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP for the 12-inch water line along Eagle Avenue will be requested. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Subdivision Regulations were amended December 15, 2005, to authorize the City Manager or his designee to accept the Fee for dedications of less than three (3) acres where: • There is a sufficient amount of parkland existing in the park zone of the proposed development; or • The proposed dedication is insufficient for a Neighborhood Park site under existing park design standards. This plat has met these requirements and the City has accepted fee in lieu of land dedication for this subdivision. This action does not require approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary plat. The options regarding the preliminary plat are: • Approval • Denial INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water: There is a 12-in waterline along Eagle Avenue that will be extended with this development. The new system for this area is required to meet B/CS Unified Water and Sewer Design Guidelines for domestic and fire flows. A Water Design Report for the subdivision is required at the time of Final Plat to ensure compliance. Water Service: Water to be provided to each lot, as required. Sewer: There is an existing 18-inch sewer line along the southwest property line that will be extended with this development. A Sewer Report for the subdivision is required at the time of Final Plat to insure capacity and compliance with the BCS Unified Water and Sewer Design Guidelines. Sewer Service: Sewer to be provided to each lot, as required. Streets: The Developer is providing access to all lots with conventional-width streets. Lakeview Drive will be gated and private. Eagle Avenue is a minor collector and on the City's Thoroughfare Plan and will be extended with this subdivision. Longmire Drive is an existing major collector on the Plan. An additional 5 feet of ROW for Longmire Drive will be dedicated with this development. Off-site Easements: N/A Drainage: This development is required to meet the Drainage Ordinance. Detention is planned for a portion of the development by means of a retention pond in the gated area of the subdivision. Direct discharge is planned for the remaining area. Flood Plain: N/A Oversize request: OP for the 12-inch water line along Eagle Avenue will be requested. Impact Fees: N/A Parkland Dedication Fees: Based on 56 lots, the Fee-in-lieu of Land will be $11,088. The Park Development Fee will be $20,048. Supporting Materials: 1.
