STAFF REPORT
Item: Consideration of a Replat of Lot 10A, Lake View Acres, a 4.67 acre lot located on
the northeast corner of Texas Avenue and Morgans Lane. (99-243)
Applicant: Rabon Metcalf, Municipal Development Group.
Item Summary: Lot l0A is being divided into two lots for the purpose of development.
Lot 10A1 will be 3.72 acres and the smaller lot 10A2 will be .95 acres. The property is
zoned C-1 general commercial and is shown for retail development on the land use plan.
Access will be shared between the two lots created with this replat and there will be 834
feet of public sewer line extension associated with the plat. There is an existing overhead
electrical line that crosses this property to provide service to a residence adjacent to the U-
Haul property.
Item Background: Lakeview Acres was originally platted some 20 years ago. Since then
there have been several replats and several vacating plats. This particular lot l0A was
platted into its present configuration in the early 1980s. It contains 4.67 acres and has
frontage along both Texas and Morgans Lane.
Staff' Recommendations: Staff recommends approval with the addition of an electrical
easement to cover the existing line serving the existing residence to the north.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over this replat. The
options regarding the replat are approval as submitted, approval with conditions, or denial.
Defer action or table only at applicant's request.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: Is available along Texas and Morgans Lane.
Sewer: Will be extended (834 feet) to serve the lots.
Streets: This tract has frontage on Texas and Morgans Lane. Driveway access points
both along Texas and Morgans are shown to be shared between lot 10A2 and lot 10AL
The access point on Texas was part of the original plat and is not being changed. Staff is
comfortable with this location. The access point on Morgans Lane is being shifted
westward from the original plat. It meets the driveway ordinance for adjacent drive
spacing, but does not meet it for opposite drive spacing. However, staff is comfortable
with this because Morgans Lane is a residential street and the opposite drive spacings are
intended for roads with center two-way left turn lanes. This is not the design of Morgans.
Sidewalks: This portion of Texas Avenue is shown on the City's Sidewalk Master Plan.
However, at present the street has open ditch sections so no sidewalk is being required.
This was the same approach taken with the nearby U-Haul. When this phase of the Texas
Avenue widening occurs, sidewalks will be incorporated.
Easements: There is an existing overhead electrical line that crosses this property to
provide service to a residence adjacent to the U-Haul property. An easement is needed to
cover this existing line. If the line needs to be relocated the City will work with the
property owner on a new location.
Drainage: Will be addressed at the time of site development.
Flood Plain: Notes on the plat indicate that there is no floodplain on this property.
Oversize request: None
Impact Fees: NA
