Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Vacating Plat and Final Plat for Duck
Haven Phase II. The Vacating Plat consists of 22 lots and a common area on 21.43 acres and
the Final Plat consists of 20 lots on 13.99 acres located along Drake Drive, near the
intersection of Drake Drive and Wellborn Road in the City's Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Applicant: Travis Martinek, Clarke &Wyndham, property owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Vacating and Final Plat.
ETJ Plats- Brazos County's comments and recommendations: None
Item Summary: Phase II consists of 22 lots and a 9.254 acre Home Owners Association
Common Area. The plat is being vacated in order to remove two lots and the common area
from the plat; these areas will effectively be unplatted property. The Commission recently
approved a preliminary plat for Duck Haven Phase Ill that includes a portion of this unplatted
property.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan projects rural densities for this
area of the ETJ, however, the City has no authority over land use in the ETJ. Wellborn Road
is identified as a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan.
Item Background: The master plan for Duck Haven was filed in early 2001 and the original
Duck Haven preliminary plat was filed in November 2001. Phase II was originally platted in
2004. Since that time, several final plats and amending plats have been submitted for other
phases of the development. A preliminary plat was recently approved for Phase Ill of the
development.
Saddle Creek, a large lot residential subdivision to the north and west, has submitted a Master
Plan for review and approval. A connection will be required between Duck Haven and Saddle
Creek as other phases of the development occur.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: Because this project is located in the ETJ, the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will not review it.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the Vacating Plat and
Final plat. The options regarding the plat are:
• Approval
• Denial
