This item is for the consideration of a plat for a townhome subdivision per the approved
PDD -H zoning requirements. The Meritorious Modifications are listed in note 3 on the
plat.
Concerning the Staff Review Comments, a new gravity sewer line is proposed to
parallel SH 6 and connect with the Spring Creek Trunk Line, shown on the plat. The
Council has passed a "needs resolution" to obtain the necessary easements to proceed
with the construction of the line. A portion of the proposed line traverses this plat. The
property owner is requested to show the Council approved easement on the plat. In
lieu of said easement, a 20 -ft easement, as described in the comments, is acceptable.
The City has the authority to require such easements by ordinance:

proposed subdivision adjoins an unplatted area, the full twenty -foot (20') width of
easement may be required along the rear of lots adjoining the unplatted area.
