STAFF REPORT
Item: Consideration of a FINAL PLAT for WOLF PEN PLAZA, approximately 19 acres
divided into three lots generally located on the northeast corner of Holleman Drive and Texas
Avenue. (99-235)
Applicant: Brad Kerr, Kerr Surveying Co.
Item Summary: This final plat is divided into three lots and is a consolidation of a portion of the
Pooh's Park Subdivision and the Tinsley Square Subdivision. The intended use for the 15.27 acre
Lot 3 is a major retail shopping center development. Lots 1 and 2 are both between one-half to one
acre in size and will serve as out-parcels to the larger retail center tract.
The preliminary plat includes 15 feet of right-of-way dedication for Holleman Drive, 35 feet of
right-of-way dedication for the George Bush East extension, and a 1.83 acre dedication to the City
for Wolf Pen Creek. The plat also reflects the additional right-of-way that will be acquired by the
Texas Department of Transportation as part of the upcoming Texas Avenue Phase U widening
project.
The property is bound by Texas Avenue to the west, Holleman Drive to the south, the future
George Bush Drive East extension to the east, and Wolf Pen Creek to the north. The land use plan
shows this area as the Wolf Pen Creek Overlay District, but the area was rezoned to C-1 several
years ago.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: Oversize participation has not been requested
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
• That the remaining portion (a part of Lot 7, Block 4 of Pooh's Park) of the Bush East right-of-
way to Holleman Drive be dedicated by separate instrument. The volume and page number for
this dedication will need to be included on the final plat before it can be filed for record.
• That the notation on the plat "Location of Revised Flood Line per N.D.M 1998 Study" be
changed to "Location of Revised Floodplain Line per N.D.M 1998 Study".
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The P&Z recommended approval of the preliminary
plat on July 15, 1999 with the condition that a note be added to the plat indicating that direct
access to Texas Avenue or Holleman Drive from Lots 1 and/or 2 of Wolf Pen Plaza will not be
permitted. This note has been included on the final plat.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat. The options
regarding the final plat are approval as submitted, approval with conditions, or denial. Defer
action or table only at applicant's request.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: Water will be provided to this site via 8 inch water lines located along Texas
Avenue and Holleman Drive. Additional water lines will be looped through this site at
the site plan stage.
Sewer: An 8 inch sewer line exists through the site at this time. Easements covering
these existing sewer lines will be dedicated at the Final Plat stage. A portion of the
existing on-site sewer line is proposed to be re-routed at the site plan stage due to the
proposed lay out of the buildings. A section of off-site sewer line, which extends from
this site to the main by Harvey Road is 6 inch. The impact of this development on this
smaller 6 inch line will need to be studied at the site plan stage. Any improvements of
sewer crossing of Wolf Pen Creek will have to follow the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan.
Streets: The property is bound by Texas Avenue to the west, the future George Bush
East extension to the east, and Holleman to the south. With respect to the City's
Thoroughfare Plan, Texas Avenue is a major arterial, Holleman Drive is a minor arterial,
and Bush East is a minor arterial. Right-of-way dedications for Holleman and Bush East
are included on the plat.
Per the City's development agreement with Pooh's Park, there are two options for the
right-of-way dedication and construction of George Bush East. One is for the City to
purchase the right-of-way and the developer would construct the street. The other option
in the development agreement is for the City to build the section of Bush East adjacent to
this site and the developer would dedicate the right-of-way. Because the city is currently
under contract for the street design and construction as part of a capital project, the
second option is being implemented.
The Texas Department of Transportation should begin acquiring the additional right-of-
way needed for the Texas Avenue widening project within the next year.
Off-site Easements: N/A
Drainage: Will be handled at site plan stage.
Flood Plain: A portion of the property along its north side lies within the flood plain,
Zone A-E. Any modifications to the floodway will require approval for the Federal
Emergence Management Agency (FEMA). Any fill within the flood fringe will require a
study demonstrating no adverse impacts to adjacent developments.
Oversize request: None Requested.
Sidewalks : At this time, because of the impending widening of Texas Avenue, the
applicant will not be required to install sidewalks on Texas Avenue. The TXDOT project
will include sidewalks on both sides of Texas Avenue.
