The applicant is dedicating additional 10' ROW necessary towards the future development of Linda Lane. • There are no sidewalks proposed on this portion of Harvey Road per the Sidewalk Master Plan. TxDOT future widening of Harvey Road might include sidewalks. Item Background: • The subject property was annexed into the City Limits in 1980. At that time, the area bound by the former TI property and Highways 30, 60, and 158 was annexed, along with the strip of land extending from Carter Creek east to Highway 158 on the south side of Harvey Road, which includes the subject property. • Recently, the area between FM 60 and FM 30 was chosen for the future Veterans Park, as well as a public/private venture for the development of an office complex and a performing arts center. • The Commission approved the rezoning to a PDD-H in December with access onto Harvey Road. • At the December P&Z Meeting, Ed Hard, Transportation Planner, supported the access onto Harvey Road and Linda Lane. • The Preliminary Plat was approved at the March P&Z meeting.
