AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of a Master Preliminary Plat of 47 acres in the
Steeplechase Subdivision, Phases 1, 2, & 3, located along the east side of Wellborn Road and
including the extension of Navarro and West Ridge; and consideration of a Final Plat of Phase 1.
(9 8-332 & 9 8-243)
Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report. She explained that the preliminary plat shows the
portions of the Master Plan that have already been approved for rezoning to R -2 Duplex, C -1 General
Commercial, and C -N Neighborhood Commercial. The plat shows the development to occur in three
phases. The Final Plat of Phase 1 includes the eastern third of the duplexes, the park, and extensions of
Navarro and West Ridge at each end of the duplex blocks. Staff recommended approval of both the
Preliminary Plat and Final Plat as submitted.
Mr. Karl Vargo, 2902 Cortez Court, asked if the owner had already sold the land to the developers and
if an environmental report had been done. Mr. Mike McClure, Project Engineer, said that the report
had been completed. Staff did not address Mr. Vargo's concerns due to the fact that they were not city
requirements.
Commissioner Rife moved to approve both the Preliminary Plat and Final Plat as submitted.
Commissioner Parker seconded the motion, which passed (6 -0). Commissioner Garner abstained from
this item.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consideration of a Preliminary Plat of Pebble Creek Phase 7 containing
174 acres and 305 single family lots, south of the existing subdivision and including the extension
of Pebble Creek Parkway. (99 -333)
Assistant City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report. She explained that the Land Use Plan shows
the area as medium density single family with a density range of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre. The plan
is for 305 single family lots to be developed over 3 phases. The extension of Pebble Creek Parkway as
a major residential collector to the south is consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan. This extension will
provide another point of access to the existing Lick Creek Park. The Parks and Recreation department
is proposing to extend the bike trail in Pebble Creek Parkway through the Lick Creek Park between this
development and the creek south of this development.
Staff recommended approval with the following conditions:
• Rezone the property to an appropriate residential classification.
• Clarify the phase line between Phases 7A and 7B and between 7B and 7C.
• Include Pebble Creek Parkway and associated hike and bike trail in Phase 7C.
• Name streets.
• Investigate realignment of the intersection of Royal Adelade and a cross street with the Final Plat for
Phase 7B.
• Drainage systems should be consolidated and piped to the center line of the creeks.

• The Channel should be enclosed to minimize maintenance.
• Provide access to Lick Creek Park through Subdivision: (Discretionary)
,Mr. Jed Walker, Project Engineer, explained that he did not want the plat to be held up contingent upon
providing access to Lick Creek Park, although he would be willing to discuss this at a time closer to the
platting process. They have concern with how to develop this access and would like this discussed
further prior to commitment.
Commissioner Kaiser expressed his concern for the lots along the floodplain. Development is not
allowed within the floodplain, he felt that property owners would build fences along the property lines
which would be a violation.
Ms. Morgan explained that the property owners would be able to build fences along the floodplain line
but not the property line. Mr. Walker said that they could add a restriction in the deed restrictions to
address fences in the floodplain.
Commissioner Kaiser moved to table this request until applicant can work with staff to resolve some of
the issues and conditions expressed by staff. This item could not be tabled.
Commissioner Rife moved to approve the Preliminary Plat with all staff comments and the condition to
work with staff to resolve problems with providing access to Lick Creek Park. Commissioner Mooney
seconded the motion which passed unopposed (7 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Other Business.
There was no other business.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Adjourn.
