INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water required for plat: There is an existing 24" waterline along the future SH
40 ROW, as shown on the plat. A public water main is required to be extended
to both lots, along future State Highway 40, and through the property to Green's
Prairie Road. This main will be extended across Green's Prairie Road to the
newly annexed area. The City may ask for a 12" extension, in which case OP
could be provided.
Water Service: Domestic water service and fire protection to be extended to all
structures as needed.
Sewer required for plat: Due to the fact that all lots shown are greater than 1-
acre, no sewer extension is required to plat this property. However, the
applicant is showing extension of the Spring Creek Impact Fee line to serve this
development. When this line is extended the applicant will be required to
extend this line to Green's Prairie Road.
Sewer Service: Sewer service to be provided to all structures as needed.
Street(s) required for plat: No facilities are required.
Streets /Access: Controlled access lines shown on plat preclude driveway cuts
in these locations. Until the time SH 40 is constructed, both lots will take access
from Green's Prairie Road.
Off -site Easements required for plat: No off -site easements are required at
this time. If public sewer is extended, easements would need to be obtained.
Drainage: Development on this property will be required to comply with the
City's drainage ordinance. Drainage from the development must be taken to
established drainageways. The plat shows a proposed drainage channel on
Lot 2.
Flood Plain: The 100 -year FEMA flood plain extends to and through a portion
of the subject property along a branch of Spring Creek. Minimum floor
elevations for Tots in or abutting the floodplain must be established on the Final
Plat. Any channel improvements would have to meet FEMA and USCOE
requirements. The culverts shown under SH 40 are solely TXDoT's
responsibility.
Oversize request: Not at this time.
Impact Fees: The subject property is located within the 97 -01 Sewer Impact
Fee Area. This fee is currently $349.55 per living unit equivalent. This fee is
due at the time of building permit.
Parkland Dedication Fees: N/A (commercial)
