HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Lindsay Boyer Report Date: September 21, 2005 Email: lboyer@cstx.gov Meeting Date: October 6, 2005 Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for the Spring Creek Commons Subdivision consisting of 5 lots on 50.547 acres, developing in 4 phases and generally located at the northeast corner of Greens Prairie Road and SH 6. Applicant: Mitchell and Morgan, engineer for the owner. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. Item Summary: The subject property is being platted in preparation for a retail development. This property includes the extension of Lakeway Drive, a Major Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan, through the property. The plat shows development in four phases, with the first phase being located along Greens Prairie Road. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Comprehensive Land Use plan designates this area as Retail Regional. The property has frontage on SH 6, a freeway, and Greens Prairie Road, a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. This plat includes a 50-foot vegetated buffer that is a condition of the rezoning request. The condition requires a 100-foot buffer along the east side of the property behind the houses, unless the drainage channel is improved upon development of the property. The proposed plat includes the improvement of this drainage channel, which reduces the buffer to 50 feet. The proposed plat includes three access points from the frontage road, which are in compliance with Texas Department of Transportation driveway separation standards, and cross access is being granted through all the lots in this development. There is also access from Lakeway and Greens Prairie Road. This Plat is in compliance with all subdivision regulations. Item Background: This property was annexed in 1983, and zoned A-O. The southern half of this property was rezoned to C-1 in 1997, and the northern portion in 2002 with a condition of a 100-foot buffer area along the eastern property edge. This property has not previously been platted. Budgetary & Financial Summary: None at this time. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary plat. The options regarding the preliminary plat are: • Approval with conditions; • Approval as submitted; or • Denial. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Aerial Map 3. Application 4.

Sewer Service: There currently exists an 8" sanitary line along the proposed extension of Lakeway Drive.
