MEMORANDUM
May 23, 2003
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Carol Cotter
Email: ccotter@cstx.gov
SUBJECT: Final Plat - Commercial for Graham Corner Plaza (FP)
Item: Consideration, discussion and possible action on a Final Plat for Graham
Corner Plaza consisting of 6 commercial lots on 10.73 acres located off State
Highway 6 and Graham Road. (03-00500084)
Applicant: Kerr Surveying, agent for Ted Whitmer
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat as
submitted.
Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Final Plat for the Graham
Corner Plaza. This property consists of 6 commercial lots and is located on the
corner of Sate Highway 6 and Graham Road across from Jack Winslow Body
Shop. The final plat is in compliance with the City's subdivision and zoning
regulations and the approved preliminary plat.
This property is adjacent to Lick Creek, the floodplain of which is considered
"Greenway". This floodplain is not regulated by FEMA and was calculated from
the drainage report for the Graham Road rehabilitation project commissioned by
the City. The majority of the Greenway located on this property is being
dedicated to the City with the Final Plat.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area to
be Regional Retail. The current zoning of the property as C-1 is in conformance
with Land Use Plan. The property has frontage on Highway 6, a Freeway and
Expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan, and on Graham Road which is
designated as a Major Collector. To comply with the Driveway Ordinance,
access from Graham Road will be limited to a shared access easement between
Lots 1 and 4 and one between Lot 6 and the western adjacent property. A
shared access easement between Lots 2 and Lot 3 will limit access to the
property from the State Highway 6 Frontage Road. Internal access easements
are provided for access to additional lots.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final
plat. The options regarding the final plat are:
• Approval with specified conditions;
• Approval as submitted; or
• Denial.
