STAFF REPORT
Item: Consideration of a 41.81 acre master preliminary plat (GS.L. of Texas, Inc. Addition)
dividing the property generally located on the northeast corner of Sebesta Road and the State
Highway 6 Frontage Road into three. commercial lots. (Planning Case No. 97-305)
Item Summary: Property in this master plat is currently zoned for C-1 commercial and M-1
Planned Industrial development. This master preliminary plat is being presented in anticipation of
development of 3.5 acres (lot 2). This master plat incorporates what was a platted lot in the
adjacent T.7. Addition and includes a large 35.8: acre lot for which there are presently no
developmentplans. Lot 1 is a small 1.1 acrelot.
The master plat shows the fixture location of a new collector roadway that would extend from
Emerald Parkway to Sebesta as part of lot 3. The idea for this roadway was developed as a
solution to the cut through traffic problems Emerald Forest has faced over the years since the
Frontage Road was converted to one-way.. This will allow north-south movement between. Emerald
Parkway and Sebesta without traffic traveling through the neighborhood. This roadway will not be
built until lot 3 is ready for development.
The developer of lot 2 will be asking the Council, through a development agreement, to delay the
construction of any sewer. infrastructure through lot 3 to lot 2. The proposed use on lot 2 does not
have any significant sewer demand.
Policy Issue Statement:
Civic Pride -Citizens benefit. from well-planned, attractive residential and
commercial areas, and from preserving historic areas.
Staff Recommendations: Approval with presubmission conference notes, with the condition that
either a development agreement be approved by Council addressing the timing of sewer extension
or the infrastructure be constructed with' he first final plat and with the discretion to apply
streetscape reserved until site plan development.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: Refer to presubmission conference notes.
Streetscape is required along the By-Pass. There is discretion to require it along Sebesta. This
discretion maybe applied at the time of platting or at the time of site development.
P&Z Action Options: Approve plat as shown, with conditions or deny plat.

Water: Water is available through existing lines that will be extended into this
property..
Sewer: Sewer is available through existing lines that will be extended into this
property. However, the developer of Lot 2, is requesting that he be allowed the
option of placing a financial guarantee with the City for his portion of the sewer
line to service .his property. He is proposing to install a "private" septic system
on his property until a sewer line can be constructed to his. property.
Streets.:. This .preliminary plat indicates the location of right-of--way for the
proposed linkage between Emerald Parkway and Sebesta Road. The majority of
this property will take access from the frontage .road of State Highway 6, but this
proposed street will help to reduce the amount of traffic that would use
residential streets within the Emerald Forest Subdivision.

compliance at the time of site plan submittal.

fair share portion that the developer of lot 2 should pay as part of a development
agreement. Any fair share portion has to be determined after oversize is taken
out. The City's participation will be determined based upon the size of sewer line
constructed and the size of line required by the proposed development.
