DOC STAFF REPORT Item: Consideration of a Master Preliminary Plat of approximately 14.57 acres located at 4101 State Highway 6 South. (0-135) Applicant: Strong Surveying for Bypass Land Partners, et al. Item Summary: The request for approval of this preliminary plat was denied by the Commission on 9/14/00. The primary concern of the Commission at the time was access from the subject properties onto the SH 6 Frontage Road. City staff has since taken steps to ensure that all properties platted off this Master Preliminary Plat will comply with the City's driveway ordinance. The subject tracts are currently unplatted. The subdivision, as submitted, will consist of Block 1; Lots 1 and 2 and two (3) reserve tracts. The subject property is located south of Rock Prairie Road along the east side of Hwy. 6 South, between the north and south forks of Lick Creek and across the highway from Eagle Avenue. A preliminary plat for this area was also submitted previously and approved in 1998. However, the parties involved did not follow through with a final plat of any of the properties and, therefore, the approval expired. Comprehensive Plan Consideration: The area of the subdivision is shown on the Land Use Plan as "Retail". Lots 1 and 2 are currently zoned C-1. The tracts to the north are currently zoned A-O. Tl~e portion of the tract to the south adjacent to the Lot 1 is zoned C-3 and the remainder zoned A-P. The Thoroughfare Plan shows a Major Collector in this area connecting the Hwy. 6 Frontage Road with the extension of Lakeway Drive. The actual site for the street has yet to be determined by either the property owners or City staff and is not specified on the master preliminary plat. Staff recommended a note be placed on the plat to address this issue. An 18" water line runs along the front (west) of the property. This line is an Impact Fee water line with the fee b~ ing $550/ LUE. The subdivision is in the process of extending the sewer to the north to accommodate the properties. The sewer, being an 8" line and not eligible for oversize participation, will be become part of the Cit~~'~ infrastructure upon completion. Design for the sewer through Lot 1 has been reviewe~~ cold approved by City staff. Design for the sewer through Lot 2 has been submitted. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat as submitted. The requirements for staff approval were contingent on the inclusion of the following notes: Concerning the collector street as shown on the City Thoroughfare Plan: "The location of the collector street shown on the City's Thoroughfare Plan, to extend east-west generally through the reserve tracts north of Lot 2, will be determined at tl~e time of development of these tracts" Concerning access to SII 6 Frontage Road: "In order to meet the City's driveway ordinance (Ordinance #1971) the 2.236 acre and 0.89 acre tracts to the north will be required to provide shared or cross access such that both tracts are to be served by a single access point onto the SH 6 Frontage Road." Commission Action O~~tions: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary plat. The options rc~;arding the plat are approval as submitted, approval with condition(s), or denial. Defer action or table only at applicant's request. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Infrastructure and Facilities 4. Copy of Mater Preliminary Plat 5.
