AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a final plat of the Melrose Subdivision totaling
56.6 acres located on the southwest corner of Luther Street and. Jones-Butler Road. (96-226)
Graduate Civil Engineer Homeyer presented the staff report and recommended approval of the final plat
with the condition that the development agreement be approved. by the City Council prior to the filing of
the final plat for record at the. Brazos County Court House. The development agreement also
establishes the multi-family zoning of the property. The Thoroughfare Plan designates Jones-Butler as a
Collector and Southwest Parkway West as a Minor Arterial. The developer has requested to change
these two designations which concurs with the proposed Thoroughfare .Plan currently under
consideration. This change. of designation would not require Southwest Parkway to be extended to
Luther Street. Luther Street is classified as a Collector and will be the. primary point of access for the
proposed development.. Park land dedication for this development will be based upon the total number
of proposed units. The developer is proposing to purchase property off-site in order to ,satisfy his
requirements. If the developer is unable to make this purchase, a monetary dedication at the rate of
$225.00 per unit will be made.. This payment will be required at the time of building..... permits. The
developer will be required to construct a 16 inch water line from Holleman through his property to
Luther. At Luther, he will be responsible for constructing a 16 inch line along the entire Luther right-
of-way to the existing 12 inch water line at Jones-Butler. There is potential over-sized cost
participation if approved by the Council. There is the potential to make sewer connections to both a 15
and 8 inch sewer line. The 15 inch sewer line is located within the right-of--way of FM 2818 and the 8
inch line is located adjacent to the subject property in the alley that runs parallel to Woodsman Drive
Luther Street is located on the north side of the subject property in its entirety. This street, as well as
Jones-Butler which is located on the east side of the property, is not constructed to City standards. The
developer must upgrade these two streets in order to take access to either one. These upgrades will be
addressed in the proposed development agreement. The developer proposes to construct three
detention facilities at various locations within his property. Since this property is not located adjacent to
a primary drainage system, the developer will be required to obtain the necessary off-',site drainage
easements. There are several utility and drainage easement dedications as indicated on'this plat. In
addition to these on-site easements, the developer must acquire the necessary off-site easements in order
to convey both sanitary and. storm flows. The applicant is requesting the opportunity to file' an as-built
plat showing the actual location of all utilities.
