Applicant: Lacour Investments
STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUNIlVIARY AND STAFF RECOIVIlVIENDATION
This preliminary plat contains 12.23 acres and is located in the Wolf Pen Creek Distxict
along the south side of SH 30 (Harvey Rd.). It is approximately 1050 feet east of the
Texas Ave./SH 30 intersection, adjacent and east of the existing Taco Bell. The
property is being divided into two lots, a 4.339 acre lot along SH 30 and the remainder
as a reserve lot to the south. Wolf Pen Creek runs through the property and by
ordinance, property dedication is required if the developer chooses not to develop the
park area at this time.
The developer intends to sell the 4.339 acre lot and wishes to defer the Wolf Pen Creek
property dedication until such time as the City has funds available to develop that
portion of the creek and park area. During the CIP Advisory Committee process thE;
extension of Kyle south through this property was discussed and recommended. Staff
would recommend this extension as well. Since the Kyle extension is not on the City's
thoroughfare plan, staff is working on a development agreement with Lacour that wial
defer the Wolf Pen Creek property dedication while dedicating the right-of--way for
Kyle Street. This development agreement and all its elements will be presented at tl-e
time the final plat is processed. Additionally staff will be negotiating the closing of the
Taco Bell most easterly driveway while providing access through this property for Taco
Bell traffic.
Staff recommends approval of the preluninary plat with the Kyle Street extension
and the provision of an access easement for Taco Bell.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW -There is a previous development agreement in the
WPC area that deferred property dedication. It was at the time that Wolf Nursery was
developing. That deferment was due to the fact that property ownership lines ran down
the center of the creek and the City did not want to own only half of the area for park
development and drainage improvement. This case is different in that one owner has
both sides of the creek. However, there are advantages to deferring dedication in this
case. The area is inaccessible as the City has no property or easement on either side: of
it. There are other advantages that will be outlined in the development agreement that
will be presented with the final plat.
ENGINEERING COMI~IENT5 AND IMPACT STUDIES -
Water -Water is available to Lot 1 through an existing line in SH 30. Water is
not currently available to the reserve tract. Demands generated from the
anticipated use on Lot 1 can be handled by the waterline along SH 30. Impacts
for the reserve tract were not addressed in the impact study because of
unknowns with possible development of the tract. The applicant has requested
that they supplement the impact studies at the time of final platting of the
reserve tract.
Sewer -Available and adequate to Lot 1. Reserve tract has access to an 8"
sewerline, upgrades may be necessary at the time of platting of the reserve tract.
This will be addressed in the impact study supplement.
Streets -Access to Lot l is to SH 30 which is adequate to handle anticipated
traffic. The reserve tract will have access via the Kyle Street extension, which
also should be adequate.
n,
Drainage -Drainage is currently overland toward the creek. Improvements
made on both Lot 1 and the Reserve tract will have to comply with the Drainage
Ordinance and the Wolf Pen Creek portion of the zoning ordinance at the time
of site development.
Flood Plain - Floodplain is located on both Lot 1 and the Reserve tract
Sidewalks -Sidewalks will be required along SH 30 and along the Kyle
extension at the time of platting or site development.

parkland will be obtained at building permit.
