PROJECT MANAGER: Matt Robinson, AICP, Senior Planner mrobinson@cstx.gov PROJECT OVERVIEW: This preliminary plan is a revision to the already approved preliminary plan. Revisions include phasing changes and adjustment of street and lot layout due to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements. A portion of parkland has been abandoned to accommodate a future right-of-way, but additional park land dedication is being provided in the same area to offset the loss of park land. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan. Planning & Zoning Commission October 18, 2012 Page 1 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission October 18, 2012 Page 2 of 4 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: 2002 Zoning: A-O Agricultural Open upon annexation; A-O Agricultural Open to PDD Planned Development District (2011); PDD Planned Development District to PDD Planned Development District to revise layout and add additional use (2012). Site development: Phase 100 was final platted in 2012 and construction of townhomes has taken place. COMMENTS Water: The subject tract is located in Wellborn Water's service area. Future development of the tract will have to meet the City's minimum fire flow requirements. Sewer: The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch sanitary sewer main which runs along the south and east property boundaries. The tract is located in the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area that gravity flows into the Bee Creek Trunk Line. This respective trunk line's sub -basin currently serves many developments along FM 2818, from areas east of Wellborn Road, to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Much of the existing trunk line was constructed in 1973 and was shown to have several surcharging line segments in the 2011 HDR Sanitary Sewer Collection System Master Plan Update. The City is currently in the process of initializing a capital improvement project entitled the 'Bee Creek Relief Line' that will install a larger diameter gravity line to increase the system capacity of the overall sub -basin in order to accept the ultimate build -out demand anticipated in this respective area. This trunk line capacity increase is necessary to proactively prevent surcharge events, and customer service disruptions. Preliminary analysis of this area has identified that the existing sanitary sewer capacity can support the increased sanitary sewer demand from the proposed development; however, future demands in this respective sub - basin will need to be evaluated as development occurs. Off -site Easements: None known at this time. Drainage: The subject tract is in the Bee Creek Tributary "B" drainage basin. Future development of the tract will have to meet the requirements of the City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The three detention facilities illustrated on the preliminary plan are to serve the entire subdivision and are proposed to be constructed with the initial phases of construction. Flood Plain: The subject tract is not located within a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 182C. Greenways: No greenway area is required or proposed. Planning & Zoning Commission October 18, 2012 Page 3 of 4 Pedestrian Connectivity: Sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of all streets within the development. Bicycle Connectivity: Bike lanes will be provided along Deacon Drive (Major Collector), General Parkway (Minor Collector) and Towers Parkway (Minor Collector) in accordance with the Bicycle, Pedestrian, Greenways Master Plan. Streets: The subject tract is located adjacent to Old Wellborn Road (local) to the east and Holleman Drive South (future 4 Lane Major Collector — Suburban Context) to the west. Three future thoroughfares bi-sect the property: Deacon Drive (3-Lane Major Collector — Urban Context), General Parkway (2-Lane Minor Collector — Suburban/Urban Context) & Towers Parkway (2-Lane Minor Collector — Suburban/Urban Context) adjacent to the school district owned property. Oversize Request: The applicant has shown interest in oversized participation in order to provide adjacent tracts with adequate post development sanitary sewer capacity; however, no formal request has been made at this time. Parkland Dedication Fees: Neighborhood park land dedication was provided with the first phase of development. Neighborhood park developments fees and community park land and development fees totaling $987 per residential lot will be due upon filing of each final plat. Impact Fees: The subject tract is located within the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area and will be required $357.74/LUE with building permits. REVIEW CRITERIA 1.
