STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Jennifer Reeves, Planner Report Date: July 19, 2005
Email: jreeves @cstx.gov Meeting Date: August 4, 2005
Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a Final Plat - for
Castlegate Subdivision Section 6 consisting of 23 lots on 11.142 acres, generally
located on Green's Prairie Road west of Donnington Drive in Castlegate
Subdivision.
Applicant: Wallace Phillips, Greens Prairie Investors, Ltd., Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat as
submitted.
Item Summary: In accordance with the PDD zoning approved in April 2004 and
the preliminary plat that was approved June of 2005, the applicant has submitted
a Final Plat for Section 6 of Castlegate Subdivision that will allow for the
development of 23 single family homes.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates the area
as Single Family Residential Medium Density (3 -6 DU /acre). The Final Plat is in
compliance with the Land Use Plan with a density of approximately
3 DU /acre.
The Final Plat is also in compliance with the modified standards approved with
the rezoning. The plat includes modifications to standard street widths,
sidewalks, lot dimensions, and setbacks.
Sections 6 will take access from Green's Prairie Road, which is designated as a
minor arterial on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. An emergency access is planned
from the Amberley Place cul -de -sac with the future development of Phase 7 of
the subdivision.
This subdivision is located in the Spring Creek Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area
97 -01. Impact Fees will be due at time of final plat. Current fees for this area
are $349.55 per Living Unit Equivalent (LUE).
Item Background: This area was annexed into the city in 1995. Soon after that,
the developer began discussions with the City for the Crowley Master
Development Plan, of which this tract is a part. The Plan was originally approved
by Council in 1997 and then modified in 1998. In 2000, Crowley teamed with
Wallace Phillips to develop the approximately 350 -acre portion of the property on
the west side of the future Hwy 40. The initial PDD rezoning request for 162
acres out of the 350 -acre, Castlegate Subdivision was quickly followed by a
Master Preliminary Plat for the 350 -acre area.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board approved the
plan for parkland dedication for Castlegate in 2000.
