SUBJECT: FINAL PLAT for REATTA MEADOWS SEC 1 PH 1
Item: Consideration discussion, and possible action on a Final Plat for Reatta
Meadows Subdivision, Section 1, Phase 1 consisting of 75 lots on 19 acres generally
located at 2201 Barron Road at future Victoria Avenue.
Applicant: Joe Gattis, P.E., Agent for Mr. John Fedora, Developer.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat as submitted.
Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Final Plat for Reatta Meadows
Subdivision, Section 1 Phase 1. The plat conforms to the approved Preliminary Plat.
The subdivision will construct a portion of Victoria Avenue from Barron Road to the
south. The plat will dedicate a portion of right -of -way for Barron Road. Included on the
plat are two temporary turn - around easements. Turn - arounds are required by the City
Subdivision Regulations where citizens or emergency vehicles may need to turn around
on dead -end streets. The project will also construct Phase 2 of the Spring Creek Sewer
Line from the Crowley Tract.
Please note, Reserve Tract "A" is not included in this plat. This tract is a separate,
proposed commercial, lot. The adjacent tract to the west is the proposed site of the
CSID High School.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Land Use Plan: Shown as single - family residential.
Thoroughfare Plan: Barron Road is a minor arterial. Victoria is a major collector.
Additional ROW is being dedicated for Barron Road. Victoria is being constructed in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Parkland Dedication: Parkland dedication requirements have been approved by the
Parks Board and P &Z. The Developer wishes to privately develop the park. At this
time the ordinance allows for this but it must be done prior to the land dedication.
Therefore, parkland must be dedicated prior to filing of the subdivision plat for
record. An ordinance amendment is being processed to allow the delay of parkland
dedication to allow for private development of parkland. If the ordinance is approved
prior to filing of this plat, it may be possible for the developer to develop the park
between Phases 1 and 2. However, if the ordinance amendment is not approved in
a timely manner, the Developer is required to dedicate parkland with Phase 1. The
Development Fee will also be due.
Open Space Dedication: Some Open Space/ Greenway will be dedicated as part of
the parkland.
Impact Fees: The subject tract is in the 97 -01 Spring Creek Sewer Impact Fee area.
The current fee is $349.55 per Living Unit Equivalent. This fee is due at the time of
filling the plat.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP has been approved for the Spring Creek Sewer
line, now under construction. OP is expected to be requested on the construction of
Victoria. OP is also expected to be requested on the construction of the waterline along
Barron and along Victoria.
