SUBDIVISION WAIVER REQUESTS
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the UDO except for the following waiver requests:
•UDO Section 8.4.C.3 ‘Street Projections’ – Per the requirements of this section, when a
public street is provided internal to the platting property and adjoining areas are not platted, the
platting subdivision shall provide street projections to such areas by projecting a public street at
intervals no fewer than 1500 feet (the maximum block length) along the perimeter boundary of
the subdivision.
1. The applicant is requesting this waiver as their preference is to not project to the adjoining
unplatted property to the southeast.
•UDO Section ‘8.4.C.8 Geometric Standards, Street Design Criteria’ - Per the requirements
of this section, all thoroughfares, regardless of classification, shall be constructed to the rural
collector standard with a minimum right-of-way width of one hundred (100) feet or larger if the
thoroughfare classification requires additional right-of-way width.
2. The applicant is requesting this waiver as their preference is to provide 77 feet of right-of-
way width rather than the 100 feet required.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver, the Planning and Zoning
Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver (Staff findings are in italics).
Each waiver request is addressed individually in the order listed above:
Waiver Request 1: Section 8.4.C.3 ‘Street Projections’
When a public street is provided internal to the platting property and adjoining areas are not platted, the
platting subdivision shall provide street projections to such areas by projecting a public street at
intervals no fewer than 1500 feet (the maximum block length) along the perimeter boundary of the
subdivision. Staff is recommending approval of this waiver.
Page 12 of 20
1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict
application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
land;
The applicant has stated that the street projection to the Kromer tract to the east of the subject
tract is not needed because of what the adjacent Millstone Estates Subdivision has already
constructed. The initial road section of Jesse Thomas Road was constructed with Millstone
Estates and provides a good location for further expansion and projection in both directions. The
continuation of this road to the adjacent properties will begin a street network that connects users
from Koppe Bridge Road to Pratt Road, Straub Road, and Dymple Lane. An additional street
projection on the subject property would not provide a great deal of benefit to the area as it has
no way of projecting northwest. The inclusion of an additional street may deprive the applicant of
use of their land as some developable lots may be lost.
Page 13 of 20
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
The applicant states that the waiver is necessary for the preservation of a substantial
property rights and the ability to fully utilize the property. As stated above in criteria number
one, an additional street projection will reduce the lot count by one or two.
3) The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and
The applicant has stated that the allowance for a longer block length is minimal and should have
no effect on other property or the City. Staff agrees that the additional street projecting southeast
would not be very advantageous to a rural setting in the ETJ.
4) That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of
other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
The applicant has stated that where the UDO requires a street projection is not the ideal location
as it does not take into account the existing street network in the area. The granting of the street
projection waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of land in the area as this subdivision will
follow the same layout as Millstone Estates, which is directly adjacent.
Waiver Request 2: Section 8.4.C.8 ‘Geometric Standards, Street Design Criteria’
All thoroughfares, regardless of classification, shall be constructed to the rural collector standard with a
minimum right-of-way width of one hundred (100) feet or larger if the thoroughfare classification
requires additional right-of-way width. Staff is recommending approval of this waiver.
Page 14 of 20
1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict
application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
land;
There are two special conditions that affect the subject tract. Firstly, about half the land across
Dymple Lane is already platted. This requires the subject tract to dedicate all 100’ of the
proposed public right-of-way (ROW) since Dymple Lane is currently privately owned. Requiring
strict adherence to the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use
of their land as a substantial amount would be needed for dedication. Secondly, the adjacent
Millstone Estates received the same waiver to the subdivision regulations and already dedicated
77’ of ROW for the portion of Dymple Lane in front of the subdivision. This waiver seeks to
continue uniformity of the ROW width in the area.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
The applicant has stated that the waiver is necessary for the preservation of substantial
property rights of the applicant. As mentioned previously, city staff recommends continuing
the same ROW width as dedicated along the frontage of Millstone Estates.
3) The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and
The granting of the ROW width waiver would not be detrimental to public health, safety or
welfare. On the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, Dymple Lane is classified as a two-lane minor
collector and the future Greens Prairie Road extension to the northwest has a higher
classification of being a four-lane minor arterial. The applicant has expressed that the majority of
through traffic in the area will be concentrated on the Greens Prairie Road extension to Straub
Road, once Dymple Lane is extended to Koppe Bridge Road.
4) That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of
other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
The granting of the waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of land in the area. The proposed
minor collector roadway section for Dymple Lane can still be built within the 77’ wide ROW.

PRELIMINARY PLAN APPLICATION
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Name of Project:WOODLAND PARK SUBDIVISION (PP2024-000001)
Address:5355 DYMPLE PVT LN
Applicant:MCCLURE AND BROWNE
Property Owner:DYMPLE INVESTMENTS, LLC
Legal Description:A001300, SAMUEL DAVIDSON (OCL), TRACT 4, 22.17 ACRES
Total Acreage:22.16 Total No. of Lots:16
ROW Acreage:3.12 Floodplain Acreage:0.00
Number of requested waiver(s) to subdivision regulations, if applicable:2
Requested waiver(s) to subdivision regulations and reason for same (if
applicable):
UDO Section 8.4.C.8 Geometric Standards; Street Design Criteria - We request a waiver for the requirement
that proposed Dymple Lane have a 77' ROW instead of 100' ROW.
UDO Section 8.4.C.3 Street Projections- We request a waiver for the requirement street projections be provided
to adjacent unplatted or landlocked properties
Regarding the waiver request, explain the following:
1.There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict
application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
land.
100’ ROW would not match the existing street projection of Dymple Lane in Millstone Subdivision. The width was 77’
with a 30’ street. We are attempting to match that standard.
Land is in a very rural setting with rural street cross section. In rural setting, longer roads are common and fit the feel
of a less congested development. Additionally, Jesse Thomas Road was constructed as part of Millstone
Page 16 of 20
Page 2 of 2
Subdivision adjacent to the subject tract. Jesse Thomas Road will be the appropriate location for a future street
projection.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of
the applicant.
The waivers are necessary for the ability of applicant to utilize the property.
3. The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering subdivision regulations.
The ROW adjustment should have no effect on neighboring area or the city. The land is in a very rural
setting with minimal traffic. According to the thoroughfare plan, Greens Prairie Trail will be extended to
Straub Road and will take the majority of through traffic once Dymple Lane is extended to Koppe Bridge
Road.
A minor block length adjustment should have no effect on neighboring area or the city.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other
land in the area in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance.
No, the proposed minor collector roadway section can be built within the 77’ ROW as demonstrated in Millstone
Subdivision.
Requiring the compliance with the UDO in this case would cause damage to the neighboring property by forcing a
street projection in the incorrect location which would hamper the future development of their property.
