This item is scheduled for the Thursday August 19, 2004 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting. This meeting will begin at 7:00 P.M. in City Hall Council Chambers.

STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Carol Cotter Date: August 10, 2004 Email: ccotter @cstx.gov Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for Stonebrook Subdivision consisting of 95 lots and a reserve tract on 17.327 acres located at the intersection of Old Rock Prairie Road with the new alignment of Rock Prairie Road. Applicant: Joe Gattis of Gattis Engineering, Agent for Darrel Munsey, Owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat as submitted. Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Preliminary Plat for an R -3 residential townhouse subdivision consisting of 95 lots and a reserve tract on 17.327 acres. The subdivision will have access from Old Rock Prairie Road and a proposed section of Lakeway Drive to the south of Rock Prairie Road. This Preliminary Plat is in compliance with zoning and subdivision regulations. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area to be retail regional; however, the current zoning of the property is R-4 multi - family residential. The property owner desires to develop the property as R -3 townhouse residential, which is a permitted use in R-4 districts. The subdivision will take access from Old Rock Prairie Road and a proposed section of Lakeway Drive to the south of the new alignment of Rock Prairie Road. Lakeway Drive is designated a major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan, and Rock Prairie Road is designated a minor arterial. Old Rock Prairie Road is no longer a through street and terminates as a locked access to the well service road, approximately 100 feet northeast of the proposed entrance to the subdivision. The majority of the right -of -way for the proposed section of Lakeway Drive will be dedicated with the final plat. In order to align the proposed Lake way Drive with the Stonebrook, additional ROW will be acquired from the adjacent property. The road will include bike lanes in conformance with the Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan. Item Background: The property was annexed into the City in 1983 as A -O Agricultural Open and was rezoned to C -2 in 1986. The property was again rezoned to R -5 Medium Density Apartment in 1994, and was in compliance with the Land Use Plan at that time. The adoption of the UDO combined the R -5 and R-4 districts into R-4, the current zoning of the property. Budgetary & Financial Summary: The applicant will be requesting oversized participation for the construction of Lakeway Drive. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board approved parkland dedication as fee -in -lieu of land on July 20, 2004. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Aerial 4. Infrastructure and Facilities 5. Copy of Preliminary Plat INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water required for plat: Each lot is required to have public water service, as shown on the plat.

Water Service: Water to be provided to each structure, as required. Sewer required for plat: Each lot is required to have public sewer service, as shown on the plat. Sewer extension will come off an existing 8 -inch main located on the Rock Prairie Baptist Church property to the east. Sewer Service: Sewer to be provided to each structure, as required.
