Case No.: 95-307
Applicant: McClure Engineering for Omar Smith Enterprises
ITEM: Preliminary Plat of Carter Lake Acres, an ETJ subdivision
ITEM SUNIlVIARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Carter Lake Acres is an
ETJ Subdivision located at the northwest corner of the Rock Prairie Road and Bradley
Road intersection (Actually part of the subdivision is within the City Limits while the
majority is in the ETJ). A Presubmission Conference was held on April 5, 1995 to
discuss this item. At this meeting, staff recommended that a clarification be made to
general note #11. As written, the note is not legally enforceable. Also, due to the fact
that these lots take their sole access from Harris Road and Bradley Road, staff
recommended that these existing streets be brought up to County rural road standards.
The Subdivision Regulations state within the Special Conditions in Area of
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction that, "Streets...does not require a curb and gutter, but
requires all-weather, gravel or crushed stone base, road surface with not less than a
two(2) course inverted penetration asphalt surface." This description would meet the
County rural standards. Both roads as existing do not meet these standards. Staff also
recommended that additional right-of-way, in accordance with a recent right-of-
way/alignment study of Rock Prairie Road (SH6 to Greens Prairie Road), be dedicated.
Staff recommends. approval of the plat. with the condition that note #11 be
modified, that Harris and Bradley Roads be upgraded, that additional right-of-~
way along Rock Prairie Road be dedicated and with the remaining comments as
outlined in the Presubmission Conference Report, attached.
