Project: GREENSWORLD SUBDIVISION PH 3 (FP)-FINAL PLAT (0-187)
PLANNING
1. Back taxes are owed on property #R84671. These must be paid and a new tax
certificate submitted to the City before the final plat can be approved. An
updated certificate showing paid taxes for property #R88810 will also need to be
submitted.
2. All existing conditions need to be shown on the final plat. The existing
floodplain location needs to be shown. After the LOMR-F is approved, an
amending plat can show the new floodplain limits.
3. The existing sewer easement also needs to be shown. It may be described as
"to be abandoned". The new easement can be dedicated on the plat, but the end
of the exiting sewer easement and the beginning of the proposed easement need
to be clarified. An as-built drawing is another option. Please be aware that the
proposed location of the sewer is only preliminary. The final approval can only
be given after a design has been submitted and approved. The city is not liable
for the owner's actions should he/she construct where the final design locates the
sewer.
4. Since lot 2 was granted a variance, the note on the preliminary plat stating Lot 2
is undevelopable needs to be on the final plat. Parkland dedication will not be
required for this lot.
5. A fence will be required at the time of development of Lot 1. There is not a
variance process for this requirement.
6. Please remove notes 3, 4, and 6. Final plats should not contain zoning and
setback information. Also, please remove the zoning and setback lines that are
on the drawing.

STAFF REPORT
Item: Consideration of a Final Plat of approximately 3.33 acres for the Greensworld
Subdivision Phase-III located at 1003 Earl Rudder Frwy South, a.k.a. State Highway 6
East Bypass. (00-187)
Applicant: Michael K. Davis for Regency Parkway, Inc.
Staff Recommendations: Seeing that all City requirements have been met for this final
plat, staff recommends to the Commission; "approval as submitted".
Item Summary: The subject tract currently has an approved preliminary plat. The lot is
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. The sewer line relocation will
attempt to circumvent any future building footprint. The owner has agreed to
accommodate the proposed northeast sewer trunk line, should that project go through. A
LOMR-F (Letter of Map Revision based on Fill) has been submitted for this site to
FEMA. As seen on the plat, the floodplain now skirts the edge of Lot One.
An 18" water line runs along the frontage road in front of the property. The owner will
continue this line through his property as required and has requested oversize
participation (OP) for the construction.
At one time, an automobile dealership was to occupy the premises. It is unknown at this
time what the future plans are for the site. The applicant, if present, may be able to
provide details.
The adjacent lot to the north along the frontage road does not appear to be developable, at
this time. However, as you know, there have been several proposals to relocate Carter's
Creek. A future relocation of the creek could make the adjacent property developable.
Access: Highway frontage roads are classified by ordinance as major arterial streets.
City ordinance allows minimum adjacent drive spacing on major arterial streets as 275'.
The property has approximately 350' of frontage.
City staff met with the owner and TXDOT officials concerning access to this site several
years ago. At that time staff and TXDOT agreed to a single access point at the far north
end of the property.
A site plan for any venture on this site will need to obtain approval through Development
Services staff and access compliance issues will be addressed at that time. In addition,
the developer will need to obtain a driveway permit from TXDOT and comply with all
TXDOT requirements.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat.
The Commission's options regarding the plat are as follows:
• Approval as submitted
• Approval with conditions
• Denial
• Defer action
• Table only at applicant's request.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: An 18" water line currently exists along State Highway 6 Access Road to the
southern property line. The plat shows the extension of the 18" line through the property
as proposed by the applicant. 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
is present onsite. The final plat does not show a proposed route for the sewer line. The
final engineered design will determine the ultimate layout and easement.
Streets: There are no public 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. In-filling of low areas has taken place to mitigate on-site flooding hazards in
an effort to remove the property from the special flood hazard area.
Oversize request: Oversize participation has been requested on the 18" 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.
