Consideration, discussion, and possible action on Preliminary Plat for the Meadowcreek Subdivision, consisting of 338 lots, on 74.742 acres in the City's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The subject property is generally located on the south side of Koppe Bridge Road just west of the Wellborn Community. (04-249) Staff Planner Reeves presented the staff report and stated that staff recommends conditional approval, with staff review comments from Brazos County (temporary turnarounds will be required at the end of streets projecting into the next phase). The owner plans to subdivide the 74.742 acres into 338 lots. Commissioner White asked for clarification to the Brazos County comment on the temporary turnarounds. Ms. Reeves stated that the city would typically require a temporary turnaround if the road extension is more than one lot depth deep. Since that does not do that on the plat, the City did not require it, but the County is. Commissioner White made the motion to approve the Preliminary Plat. Commissioner Fedora seconded the motion. Chairman Shafer stated his concern in general is the way green space is designed in Subdivisions. It would be much to the advantage to the Subdivision, and the residents who live there, to have the open spaces where homes face on to them so they could take advantage of the visual amenity. The Commission voted (5-0) to approve the Preliminary Plat FOR: White, Fedora, Hooton, Nichols & Chairman Shafer AGAINST. None ABSENT.
