HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report • STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka, Planner Report Date: January 23, 2006 Email: jprochazkacstx.gov Meeting Date: February 2, 2006 Item: Presentation, possible action and discussion on a Preliminary Plat for Indian Lakes Phase IX, consisting of 44 lots on 14.78 acres, generally located southeast of the intersection of Indian Lakes Drive and Arapaho Ridge Drive. Applicant: Travis Martinek, agent for Smiling Mallard Development, Ltd., property owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat as submitted. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a preliminary plat for a new section of the Indian Lakes development that will provide smaller single-family lots in a gated community. A preliminary plat showing a similar layout and a private wastewater treatment plant was approved for this property in August 2005. A new preliminary plat is being considered because the applicant is proposing to connect to the City sanitary sewer system. Because of the removal of the on-site private wastewater treatment plant, two additional lots are included with this plat. Several variance requests were approved in August 2005 to allow such a development to occur. The following table summarizes the variances granted for this property in August 2005: Subdivision Requirement Variance Regulations _ Granted Section 13-B Streets ROW width of 70 feet ROW width of 28 feet 10-foot shoulders no shoulders 13-C Lot Width 100 feet 34.05 feet to 98.48 feet 12-J.2.1 Utility Layout 20-ft. utility easement at front or 10 feet at front of lot and 10 feet rear of lot or 10 feet at rear when at (unabutting) rear of lot lots abut each other It is also necessary for the applicant to request variances from the County Subdivision Regulations and receive plat approval from the County Commissioner's Court. The County Commissioner's Court will be considering variances to the front and side lot utility easement widths, setbacks, and maximum dwelling units per acre and lot size. Minimum lot sizes are recommended in the County for the construction of septic systems. Since the developer has proposed to tie into the City's sanitary sewer system, individual lots will not need septic systems. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows most of the land in the ETJ to be developed at a rural density (very low density residential development with agricultural and support uses). The City does not control land use in the county, but does share platting authority. Item Background: This area was formerly part of Indian Lakes Phase 4 (vacated June 22, 2005). The City and the developer agree that the increase in density from the rest of the Indian Lakes development warrants this proposal to be a new project. A Preliminary Plat for this property, proposing 42 lots and an on-site sewer treatment plant, was approved in August. Commission Action Options Regarding the Preliminary Plat: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary plat. The options regarding the preliminary plat are: • Approval • Denial Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Aerial Map 3. Application 4. Infrastructure and Facilities 5. Copy of Preliminary Plat INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water required for plat: This phase is not considered to be vested and therefore must meet all fire flow requirements in accordance with the Bryan/College Station Design Guidelines and Specifications. The domestic water is proposed to be served off the same line as fire flow and is to be served by Wellborn SUD. Water Service: Required to provide domestic service to each platted lot. Sewer required for plat: The developer proposes tying into the City sanitary sewer system. This requires that this property be brought into the City's sewer CCN and easements be obtained prior to the Final Plat. Sewer Service: Required to provide domestic service to each platted lot. This plat proposes to tie into the City sanitary sewer system. Street(s) required for plat: The streets are proposed to be privately maintained by the HOA, 24-feet in width, inverted crown for centerline drainage with no curb and gutters. Streets/Access: The public street access is to Indian Lakes Drive. Off-site Easements required for plat: N/A Drainage: Designed to Brazos County Standards. Flood Plain: N/A Oversize request: N/A Impact Fees: N/A Parkland Dedication Fees: N/A Indian Lakes Phase IX PP MAP: This item is for consideration of a preliminary plat for a new section of the Indian Lakes development that will provide smaller single-family lots in a gated community. A preliminary plat showing a similar layout and a private wastewater treatment plant was approved for this property in August 2005. This new preliminary plat is being considered because the applicant is proposing to connect to the City's sanitary sewer system. Because the on-site private wastewater treatment plant is no longer neccessary, two additional lots are included with this plat, for a total of 44 lots. lin�� Several variance requ is were approved in August 2005 to allow this type of development to occu ...These included decreased right-of-way width, decreased lot widths, and a different configuration for the utility easements. The County Commissioner's Court will consider variances to utility easement widths, setbacks, maximum dwelling units per acre, and lot size, as well as plat approval. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat as submitted.
