AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration, of a Final Plat (Replat) for the Lacour Subdivision ,Lot
1 located at the southeast corner of the .intersection of Harvey Road and George Bush Drive
East. (98-222)
Assistant City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and stated that the final plat for this
subdivision was approved in early 1996.. This plat contained a single ot, Lot 1, along with a reserve
tract, a small portion of future Kyle Street right-of--way dedication and a .Wolf Pen Creek dedication
area. This particular lot is located on Harvey Road near Taco Bell. The portion of George Bush Drive
East extension is located within the access easement that was dedicated: with this plat. The purpose of
the replat is to take this single of and subdivide it into 2 lots approximately 2 acres each. Lot lA
currently contains the Office Max development and Lot 2A is currentlyundeveloped.
With this replat, there are some discrepancies as to the correct location of the floodway line. The
original survey and the survey. done with this replat do .not agree on the floodway location.. Staff
worked with the original surveyor and the replat surveyor to understand the differences .between the
two interpretations. It was discovered that the original surveyor based his information on the 1988
Nathan D. Maier Study which was done for the City as part of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Study.
The line shown on the replat is based on the 1992 FEMA FIRM maps which are the regulatory maps.
The item-has not been resolved yet but they are getting. close to a resolution. Ms. Morgan explained
that in the 1992 FIRM maps, FEMA noted that they had used'the Nathan D. Maier Study to prepare the
maps. The assumption was made that the floodway line. in the NDM study was actually on the FIRM
maps which is not the case.. Staff has reason to believe that there maybe an error in the FIRM maps for
this .particular location. This error may be caused by a graphical misinterpretation.. Staff has contacted
FEMA regarding this issue. FEMA said that this .replat could be approved from the floodplain
