STAFF PRC REPORT
Shadow Rock Pet Resort
Case #97-400
Staff met and revie-ved this site plan on Friday, January 31, 1997. and determined that it was not
ready for PRC review. The following items still need to be addressed.•
Ordinance Requirements.:
Site Plan Related
_ There are several lines on the plan that need to be darkened. (The utility lines: the 10'
utility easement along the east property line and the 30' wide buffer area are not visible.)
_ Note the fire hydrant to be located along the entrance drive from Wellborn Road to be
"proposed".
_ The dimension from the curbline of Mortier Drive to the centerline of the driveway along
Wellborn Road must be increased to 275'.
_ The concrete pad for the solid waste container must be a 12' x 12' pad. Coordinate the
location of the dumpster pad and the required. screening with Senior Planner Sabine
McCully at (409) 764-3570. The height of the screen fence may change from 6' as shown
depending upon the type of dumpster needed.
_ Show the proposed detention pond on the site plan. (The detention pond must be
contained within the property and not within the .right-of--way area.)
_ The handicap parking space shown. must be a minimum of 13' in width (typically an 8'
space with a 5' unloading area).
The covered porch area along Mortier. Drive cannot extend into the fire lane unless there
is 14' of vertical clearance.
Show the. limits of the proposed fire lane.
Note the size of the water "service" line that runs perpendicular to Mortier Drive.
_ Are there two water meters planned for the site? (If so, show both meter locations and
note domestic and irrigation.)
Show the existing driveway locations across Mortier Drive from the subject property.
Show the manhole location for the 6" sewer "service" line where it connects to the
existing 8" sewer line that runs: perpendicular to Mortier Drive.
_ Provide. details for sidewalk, .paving, fire hydrant connections, curbing and all other details
associated with the site plan.

Ordinance Requirements cont.):
Site Plan Related
_ Provide. a grading plan showing final grades and how they relate to the existing grades.
_ Complete the "Utilities Load Demand" table, including the "Sanitary Sewer Load" data.
_ Complete the "Parking Required" section to reflect the twenty-five parking spaces per
Plamm~g and Zoning Commission approval.
Non-Site Plan Related
_ The subject property is within a sanitary sewer impact fee area. The cost of this impact
fee will be determined and collected at the dime of final plat.
_ The fire lanes shown meet the requirements for the current design; however, .they will not
work for any future development.
Landscape Plan Related
_ Change the title block to reflect "Landscape Plan".
The buffer area must be continued along the eastern property line through the extent of
this property.
_ Add one more tree. along the Wellborn Road frontage or change the hollies to tree
yauponlred bud.
_ Add two understory trees to_the existing buffer area shown on the plan.
_ In the color beds that are near the kennel at the rear of the property and run perpendicular
to Mortier Drive, change the Texas Sage to a plant more compatible with the xeriscape
wax myrtle plants. (This is a recommendation by staff and not a requirement; however, in
staff's opinion the Texas Sage .may not survive in these beds and may become a code
enforcement problem in the future.)
Comments/Concerns:
Coordinate electrical service details with Electrical Operations Coordinator Tony
Michalsky of (409) 764-3660.
_ Coordinate telephone service details and necessary easements with G.T.E. Representative
Laverne Akin at (4U9) 821-4723.
