The private streets will be owned and maintained by the Home Owners Association. Oversize Request:N/A Parkland Dedication Fees: The original Master Plan was approved in December 2007 prior to Parkland Dedication requirements in the ETJ, therefore the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board did not review the Master Plan for parks considerations and parkland dedication is not required with this development. Impact Fees: N/A REVIEW CRITERIA 1.Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Community Character map designates the subject property as Rural and Natural Areas – Reserved (areas of floodplain). Though the City does not have land use authority in the ETJ, in general the proposed Master Plan is in compliance with the City’s Land Use and Community Character map. The Thoroughfare Plan does not include any thoroughfares through this portion of the property. 2. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed Preliminary Plat is in compliance with the Unified Development Ordinance and subdivision requirements that were in place as of November 2010, with the exception of a waiver request to Unified Development Ordinance Section 8.2.B.10.b “Blocks” that requires a block to be broken along a public right-of-way every 1,500 feet. The proposed preliminary plat is part of a block that is approximately 2,200 feet along the internal street, and is requesting a waiver of 700 feet. The southern portion of the property is encumbered by 100-year FEMA regulated floodplain which varies between approximately 80 and 780 feet in width. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to UDO Section 8.2.B.10.b “Blocks” under the subdivision requirements in place as of November 2010 (currently UDO Section 8.3.E.1 “Blocks”) due to the location of the floodplain. If the Commission approves the waiver request, Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application 2.
