Item: Consideration of a Preliminary Plat of approximately 3.33 acres for the
Greensworld Subdivision Phase-III located at 1001 Earl Rudder Frwy South, a.k.a. State
Highway 6 East Bypass. (0-131)
Applicant: Kling Engineering for Regency Parkway, Inc.
Item Summary: The subject tract is currently unplatted. The lot is currently zoned C-2.
The property is shown on the Land Use Plan as "Retail".
The subject property is located north of and adjacent to the Nissan dealership. There
exists a 21" public sanitary sewer that traverses the center of the property. The sewer is
to be relocated and the associated easement abandoned. Anew sewer will circumvent the
proposed building footprint. The owner will also accommodate the new northeast sewer
line, which is to be constructed in the near future.
An 18" water line runs along the front (northwest) of the property. The owner will
continue this line through his property and is requesting oversize participation (OP) for
the construction.
The applicant is requesting a variance to city ordinance by platting a lot that does not
have access. However, the subject lot is entirely in the 100-year floodplain of Carter's
Creek and this action is intended for flood insurance purposes.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat along with
the requested variance.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary
plat. The options regarding the plat are approval as submitted or denial. Defer action or
table only at applicant's request.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: An 18" water line currently exists along State Highway 6 Access Road.
The plat shows the extension of the 18" line through the property. The Public
Utility Easement will be continued along the Access Road for the water line.
Sewer: Adequate sewer is available to the subject property via the 21" line that
currently exists onsite. The plat shows a proposed route for the sewer line. The
final engineered design will determine the ultimate layout and easement.
Streets: There are no streets on this property.
Off-site Easements: None required.
Drainage: The site will be required to meet the City Drainage Ordinance at the
site plan stage. This site abuts the Carter's Creek channel. Drainage will be
directly to the channel.
Flood Plain: The site is adjacent to Carter's Creek and its associated 100-year
floodplain. Some in-filling of low areas will take place to mitigate flooding
hazards and remove the property from the flood hazard area.
Oversize request: Oversize participation is requested on the water line and may
possibly be requested on the sewer. This will not be decided until the design of
the sewer is complete.
Impact Fees: None
NOTIFICATION:
Legal Notice Publication(s): None Required.
