TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Mark Smith, Direcotr of Public Works
SUBJECT: VARIANCE REQUEST and FINAL PLAT for REATTA MEADOWS SEC
1 PH 1 (03 -269)
Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Variance Request and Final
Plat for Reatta Meadows Sec 1 Ph 1 (03 -269).
Applicant: John Fedora
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat contingent on
the approval of the variance.
Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Variance request and Final Plat
for Reatta Meadows Sec 1 Ph 1. A final plat for this subdivision was approved by the
Commission on January 15, 2004. That plat includes a portion of Victoria Drive. The
infrustructure, including the full width of Victoria Drive, is nearly complete. The right -of
way for Victoria lies half on the Reatta Meadows property and half on adjacent property
owned by the College Station Independent School District. CSISD must sign the plat
for it to be filed.
The applicant would like to have a revised plat approved that leaves the portion of
right -of -way owned by CSISD out. This proposes dedication of half of the right -of -way
for Victoria. The Sundivision Regulations prohibit the platting of half streets. The
applicant requests a variance to this requirement so that he can have the plat filed and
begin construction of homes in Reata Meadows as soon as infrustructure construction
is complete. The construction of Victoria will be inspected by the City to assure that it
meets our standards. Victoria would be barricaded from traffic until the remaining right -
of -way is dedicated.
This variance would be temporary and would no longer be necessary once CSISD
dedicates its half of the right -of -way.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Land Use Plan: Single- family residential.
Thoroughfare Plan: Victoria is a major collector.
Parkland Dedication: n/a
Open Space Dedication: n/a
Special Area Plans: None
Budgetary & Financial Summary: N/A
