Project: SOUTHERN TRACE PH. 2 (PP) -06-00500174
PLANNING
1. Regarding the 20 foot buffer along the southern property edge, this is a condition of the rezoning
ordinance and must be met before this plat can move forward. If it is your intention to remove this
area from the buffer requirement of the ordinance, a rezoning application should be submitted and
must be processed and approved by City Council before this plat can move forward.Also, the owner
of the property called our offices yesterday and indicated that they wished to have the buffer.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 2
1. FYI — there appears to be in two locations storm discharge points into Common Area 2. Please
verify that these storm drains are located within PUE or PDE if the intent is for them to be public.
2. Also, what are the previously mentioned discharge points, discharging into? The existing Common
Area 2 is already experiencing extensive erosion problems.

TxDOT
1. Access driveways to SH 40 must meet TxDOT's current"Regulations for Access Driveways to State
Highways."Regulations are primarily based on posted speed limits and distances between proposed&
adjacent access points.Where posted speed limits are 50 MPH or more the required spacing between
access points is 425'.
Where driveway spacing is insufficient joint access will be required or access to internal/external streets.
Appropriate information will be required for any future permits/work @ this site,which should include
drainage data, etc.
