cy adjacent lot.
r e- Lot 2, Block 2 appears unbuildable as well with the 100 ft Vegetative Buffer preserved
crC6j 7 through the lot. It was previously conditioned with the re-zoning that the buffer would need
to remain 100 ft if was not improved by underground storm sewer, in which case the buffer
could be reduced to 50 ft. This appears to be necessary to make the lot buildable and
therefore the storm extension should be noted and buffer reduced accordingly on this
preliminary plat.
As it is currently illustrated on the plat, Lakeway is located in the 100 foot buffer. According
to the conditions of the rezoning, the buffer is to remain undisturbed. Please relocate the
thoroughfare out of this buffer.
. Please provide a proposal of the building plot lines to be considered, otherwise this would
be considered one building plot.
Please note that a temporary cul-de-sac with temporary easement will need to be
constructed and granted at the northern end of each of proposed, phased extensions of
Lakeway Drive. Timing of the Site Plan parking may justify the use of the driveways as a
means of emergency vehicle circulation in lieu of a cul-de-sac.
6. Please see TxDOT's access comments below.
7. Please note that the some of the proposed easements will need to be dedicated by .
separate instruments to accommodate earlier phases.
8. FYI: Impact Fees will be required at the time of Building Permit in accordance with the
meter sizing determining the Living Unit Equivalent.
9. FYI: Conceptually, the drainage report, asserting that detention is not necessary, is
acceptable. The reasoning is that this site discharges into the primary system. Note that
the flows cannot increase on the adjacent lots and the discharge shall be to Spring Creek
and not the un-named tributary of Spring Creek to the east.

1. Proposed layout indicates Access Driveway spacing would be C-C which does not account
for driveway widths. At this site the posted Speed Limit is 55 MPH which requires a spacing
of 425' between Access Drives. (see attached)
2. Total distance from the center of the existing driveway (McDonalds) north to the proposed
exit ramp is 1,514' with the north driveway (C) being 140' south of this ramp. (proposed
layout)
3. Using the proper spacing to accommodate all three (3) proposed driveways:
DT = 15'('/2McD) + 425' + 24'(A) + 425' + 30'(B) + 425' + 30'(C) = 1,374'
Dp= 452' + 450' + 472' = 1,374' (Proposed)
This is 140' south of the proposed exit ramp which is acceptable with the addition of a decel
lane. This is necessary since Driveway C is located in the merge to 1- lane area just upstream
of the exit ramp. (Same as proposed)
4. Driveway "A" shall not be constructed until the existing ramps Ca this site have been
abandoned.
5. A better solution would be to close McDonald's driveway @ the proposed turn-around &
have a shared driveway (cross-access) @ DW A located 425' from Greens Prairie Road.
With the required spacing DW C would be located approximately 430' from the exit ramp &
would probably require a shorter decel lane.

electric lines and the easements covering the portion of BTU's overhead facilities that lie
