Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the_al Plat as submitted.
Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Pr inary Plat for William

next available access point will be 360 -ft north of the existing driveway into the
convenience store. Staff has discussed several options along Wellborn. City staff
discussed a cross access easement parallel to SWPkwy on Lot 1 from the existing
drive to the platted access easement. SWPkwy is classified as a minor arterial. The
future roadway section will have a median. Staff looked at the long term access issues.
In the UDO Section 7.3 Access Management and Circulation requires cross access
easements in some cases. The access easement is not necessarily a platting issue;
although it is often a convenient time provide one. Easements required by the UDO
may be dedicated at Site Plan.
The site contains FEMA floodplain associated with a tributary of Bee Creek. A
hydrology /hydraulic study is being performed to analyze floodplain boundaries, flood
elevations and design possibilities.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Land Use Plan: The following categories are shown on the site: high density
residential, residential attached and greenway. The entire property is currently
zoned C -1.
