HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report~. ,- STAFF REPORT Item: Consideration of a Master Plan for Horse Haven Estates, 118 acres located on the east side of SH 6 East By Pass between Switch Station Road and Raintree Subdivision. Property is currently zoned A-0 Agricultural Open. Applicant is Burt Hermann. Item Summary: Over the. years the applicant has sold off parts of the original tract. without platting the property. There have been mobile homes placed on various parts of the property from time to time as well. Most recently the applicant wants to sell the 25 acres where the driving range is to an individual who wants to reorient and redevelop the driving range. This redevelopment will require various building and other permits which cannot be issued without the property being platted and developed in accordance with the City's Subdivision. and ?oning regulations. This master plan shows 4 tracts that reflect current property divisions. It is a requirement of the. Subdivisions Regulations that the original parent tract be included in any masterplan. The purpose of this plan is to be able to submit a preliminary plat and final plat of the 25 acre tract so that it can be sold and developed. The driving range is a permitted use in the A-O zone so there willbe no rezoning. request at this time. However, staff will :contact the Windwood HOA to notify them of this pending development. Although Appomatox is shown. to extend into the property, it is not being proposed to be dedicated or developed when the 25 acre tract is final platted (Recall, Council's direction in the Comprehensive Plan was to extend Appomatox into the Hermann property to serve any future residential development, but not to .make.. a connection to the East By Pass or allow any commercial developmentto access it.) The ultimateplan of the property owner is for some commercial development. on the. frontage and the..remainder as rural residential lots. Presently there are just scattered. residences. Until this situation changes and more residential development is proposed there is no need to extend Appomatox into this area. As long as the density is as low as it is, there is no need for Appomatox. The City would be maintaining a road with extremely little use. However, in order to not lose the opportunity to get Appomatox ROW dedicated and ultimately I, built by the property owner, there will be a need for a development agreement. at the time of the final platting of the 25 acre tract for the. driving range.

However, staff did contact the Windwood HOA to notify them of this pending development. Although Appomatox is shown to extend into the property, it is not being proposed to be dedicated or developed when. the 25 acre tract is final-platted (Recall, Council 's .direction in the Comprehensive Plan was to extend Appomatox into the Hermann property to serve any future residential development, but not to make a connection to the .East By Pass or allow any commercial development to access it.) Representatives of the HOA were present at the P&Z meeting and expressed concern about the extension of Appomatox into this property. Their concern is still-about any additional residential traffic that might come through the Windwood neighborhood. These concerns. were expressed repeatedly during the Comp. Plan hearings and are: why the Council deleted the connection between Windwood and Raintree via Appomatox and directedthat Appomatox not connect to the By-Pass. The ultimate plan of the property owner is for some commercial development on the frontage and the remainder as rural residential lots. Presently there are just scattered residences.
