Home My WebLink AboutCorrespondence E-mail Correspondence From: Alan Gibbs To: Fogle, Ken; Mosley, Bob; Rother,Troy; Smith, Mark Date: 10/7/2005 12:05:42 PM Subject: Greenspraire Median/ Spring Creek Commons CC: Boyer, Lindsay; Norton, Josh I want to get feedback on the views on requiring the associated right turn lane. Attached is the DP associated with the left turn lane and the driveway, conditions with the DP, and prior review letters. There is a DP condition that "In the future event the that the existing adjacent driveway (McDonald's off Greenspraire) is not removed and a Site Plan is submittd utilizing the proposed driveway, it may be a condition of the Site Plan for the property owner or developer to construct a right turn lane from a distance ease of the proposed driveway to SH 6 frontage road." Last night the Preliminary Plat for Spring Creek Commons was approved at P&Z. The Final Plat for Phase 1 is currently submitted for review - comments are due early next week. Phase 1 is adjacent to the subject drive and left turn, extending from McDonalds to Lakeway. A site plan will be submitted shortly we are told. As the condition is mentioned above, the site plan could trigger a right turn lane. I am not certain if there is adequate ROW to construct a turn lane without additional dedication and there is apparently significant utility pole relocation. Alan From: Bob Mosley To: Alan Gibbs; Ken Fogle; Mark Smith; Troy Rother Date: 10/7/2005 3:25:02 PM Subject: Re: Greenspraire Median/Spring Creek Commons My recollection is that the location of the median opening to the proposed driveway was viewed as a traffic safety, especially because of the close proximity location of the existing Exxon driveway. From: Mark Smith To: Alan Gibbs; Bob Mosley; Ken Fogle; Troy Rother Date: 10/10/2005 8:48:24 AM Subject: Re: Greenspraire Median/Spring Creek Commons It looks pretty straight forward to me. Look to the conditions letter. The City will hold the Letter of Compliance and acceptance for the associated proposed median and turn lane improvements on Greens Prairie is contingent upon this proposed on-site--drive and apron completion. The proposed median and turn lane improvements remain unaccepted until the on-site drive and apron is completed. I see an apron out there but I do not see a drive on site so I assume that we have not accepted the improvements yet. The property owner or developer is to provide/maintain barricades at the apron on Greens Prairie until the proposed drive is opened. The median should remain closed and barricaded until such time as the driveway is opened. The barricades will be provided and maintained by the developer. The property owner or developer is to provide a joint access easement upon the adjacent existing drive removal. The property owner must provide a joint access easement when the Exxon/McDonalds drive is closed. (As you agreed) In the future event that the existing adjacent driveway is not removed and a Site Plan is submitted utilizing the proposed driveway, it may be a condition of the Site Plan for the property owner or developer to construct a right turn lane from a distance east of the proposed driveway to the SH 6 frontage road. If the Exxon/McDonalds drive is not closed, the developer must construct a right turn lane from the proposed driveway to Hwy 6 before the proposed driveway and median opening can be opened. Now, if the developer is proposing something that does not propose to open the new drive or use the median opening then I don't see that we can require the right turn lane with this proposal. That median opening, the barricades, signage and all that goes with it belongs to the developer until the new driveway is open and placed in service. That driveway and median opening can not be placed in service(barricades removed and City accepted) until either the Exxon/McDonalds drive is closed or the right turn lane is constructed. >>>Alan Gibbs 10/07/05 12:05 PM >>> I want to get feedback on the views on requiring the associated right turn lane.

There appears to be more than enough ROW - the minimum greenspace behind the curb to the ROW scales to be 26', however, there appears to be some significant utility relocation costs. >>> Lindsay Boyer 10/10/2005 3:39 PM >>> As far as being assertive, Alan... I've put a comment in red on the staff review comments in regards to this turn lane thingy. I cut and pasted a portion of the DP, and threw in some stuff that it would be great if they could go ahead and dedicate that land now. Anyway, have we figured out if there's enough room to construct that lane yet? Let me know, and check out the comment. Thanks- Lindsay From: Sven Griffin To: Lboyer@cstx.gov Date: 10/6/2005 7:11:29 AM Subject: Spring Creek Commons (05-176) I have correction for the plat. It needs a starting point call made preferably from a monument. -Sven Spring Creek Commons(05-500176):Sanitation is ok with this project.

Basically, they will come in with a revised preliminary that will go to parks for acceptance of the dedication, and then final from there. I think I got that right...

For Squid Hill, they accepted the cash dedication of$556 in lieu of land. For Spring Creek Commons, they voted unanimously to accept the land donation from the developer. There was no checklist done for Spring Creek. Thank you!
