REVIEW CRITERIA
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance:
1.The
subject property is designated Estate and Natural Areas Reserved on the Comprehensive
Plan. The Preliminary Plan proposes acreage single-family lots which are in compliance
the A-OR Rural Residential Subdivision Zoning
District contained in the Unified Development Ordinance.
Compliance with Subdivision Regulations:
2.As proposed, the plan requires a waiver to
the subdivision regulations contained in the Unified Development Ordinance.
Section 8.2.I.2.a.2 Utility Easements of the Unified Development Ordinance requires a ten
(10) foot utility easement along the side and rear of all lots. The applicant is requesting that
no utility easement be located at the rear of the subdivision lots.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver, the Planning
and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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 is a special circumstance for this property because Carters Creek is
located along the property line. Many of the rear lot lines follow Carters Creek
and are located in the floodplain and are large acreage lots making it difficult to
provide utilities within the creek.
2. That the waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
The applicant stated that the waiver is necessary in order to preserve the existing
vegetation along the stream banks and reduce the potential for erosion in these
areas.
3. That 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
All utility services can be adequately provided in the utility easements located at
the front of the lots. All service providers have agreed that the rear lot
easements are not necessary in order to provide service to these lots or adjacent
properties.
4. That 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.
All utility services can be adequately provided in the utility easements located at
the front of the lots. All service providers have agreed that the rear lot

Site development:
Phase 100 was final platted in 2012 and construction of
townhomes has taken place.
COMMENTS
Water:
The subject tract is located in Wellborn Water’s service area.
Future development of the tract will have to meet the City’s
minimum fire flow requirements.
Sewer:
The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch sanitary sewer
main which runs along the south and east property boundaries.
The tract is located in the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact
Fee Area that gravity flows into the Bee Creek Trunk Line. This
respective trunk line’s sub-basin currently serves many
developments along FM 2818, from areas east of Wellborn Road,
to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Much of the
existing trunk line was constructed in 1973 and was shown to
have several surcharging line segments in the 2011 HDR Sanitary
Sewer Collection System Master Plan Update. The City is
currently in the process of initializing a capital improvement project
entitled the ‘Bee Creek Relief Line’ that will install a larger
diameter gravity line to increase the system capacity of the overall
sub-basin in order to accept the ultimate build-out demand
anticipated in this respective area. This trunk line capacity
increase is necessary to proactively prevent surcharge events,
and customer service disruptions. Preliminary analysis of this
area has identified that the existing sanitary sewer capacity can
support the increased sanitary sewer demand from the proposed
development; however, future demands in this respective sub-
basin will need to be evaluated as development occurs.
Off-site Easements:
None known at this time.
Drainage:
The subject tract is in the Bee Creek Tributary “B” drainage basin.
Future development of the tract will have to meet the requirements
of the City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The three detention
facilities illustrated on the preliminary plan are to serve the entire
subdivision and are proposed to be constructed with the initial
phases of construction.
Flood Plain:
The subject tract is not located within a FEMA regulated Special
Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 182C.
Greenways:
No greenway area is required or proposed.

Collector – Urban Context), General Parkway (2-Lane Minor
Collector – Suburban/Urban Context) & Towers Parkway (2-Lane
Minor Collector – Suburban/Urban Context) adjacent to the school
district owned property.
Oversize Request:
The applicant has shown interest in oversized participation in
order to provide adjacent tracts with adequate post development
sanitary sewer capacity; however, no formal request has been
made at this time.
Parkland Dedication Fees:
Neighborhood parkland dedicationwas provided with the first
phase of development. Neighborhood park developments fees
and community park land and development fees totaling $987 per
residential lot will be due upon filing of each final plat.
Impact Fees:
The subject tract is located within the Steeplechase Sanitary

Sandstone Addition Subdivision Replat for Lot 5R-1 and5R-2
To:
Planning and Zoning Commissioners
From:
Lauren A. Hovde, AICP, Staff Planner
Summary:
The Sandstone Addition Homeowners’ Association was formed in 1978. At that time,
the Deed Restrictions formed an Architectural Control Committee that would be responsible for
the review and approval/disapproval of improvements occurring within the subdivision.
According to language found in the Deed Restrictions, the Architectural Control Committee was
set to expire after 25 years of existence unless a majority of the property owners signed an
extension for the continuance of the committee. City Staff has been informed by the applicant
that this majority was not reached and that the Architectural Control Committee is now
disbanded.
This information is being made available to the Planning and Zoning Commission due to
objections from some of the neighborhoodmembers based on this issue. It is believed by some
members of the neighborhood that the Architectural Control Committee is still active and that
this replat is in violation of the Deed Restrictions. Therefore, this information is presented as
supplementary background information in preparation of the public hearing associated with this
item.
Texas Local Government Code requires that municipalities prohibit the replatting of property
that amends or removes any of the covenants or restrictions of a subdivision. Since the
proposed replat does neither, regardless of the existence of a current Architectural Control
Committee, the subdivision conforms with the requirement of the Local Government Code.

The two lots being created require the following waivers to the 8,500 square foot lot size:
Lot NumberProposed Lot SizeWaiver Requested
Lot 1R7,610 square feet890 square feet
Lot 2R7,610 square feet890 square feet
The subject property is located in“Area V”of the recently adopted Southside Area
Neighborhood Plan.Based on a recommendation from Planning & Zoning and City Councilfor
the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, Area V will have new requirements in place,such as
parking limitations and lot size, before properties are permitted to subdivide to minimum R-1
Single-Family standards.UDO Section 8.2.H.2 “Platting and Replatting in Older Subdivisions”
will only be a requirement for areas designated as Neighborhood Conservation in the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Mapand this portion of the neighborhood
is designated UrbanandRedevelopment. The proposed ordinances changes are anticipated to
thth
be considered at the October 18Commission meeting and November 8Council meeting. In
the interim, the recommendation of the Neighborhood Plan is that properties in this area comply
with UDO Section 8.2.H.2of the Unified Development Ordinance, which allows subdivisionin
older areas of theCitybut subject toadditional limitations.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver, the Planning and
Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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;
A special circumstance does not exist for the property due to the requirements set by UDO
Section 8.2.H.2 “Platting and Replatting in Older Subdivisions”restricting lot size to 8,500
square feet and lot width to being the average lot width as all lots in the block are subject to
the same requirements.The property may continue to be utilized asone building plot with
one structure.
2)That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
The building plotcurrently canbe utilized foronesingle-familystructure.
3)That the granting of the waivers 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 current ordinance requires a minimum 8,500 square foot lot and an average lot width of
89 feet for this block in order to help preserve the character of these types of areas.
Subdividing property to less than these standards may be detrimental to the general welfare
of the area.

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 requested waivers will not affect the future orderly subdivision of
property in the area. The West Park Addition was originally platted in 1938 and many of the
lots have become commonly owned, which has increased the average lot width.
Additionally, an amendment to theUnified Development Ordinance has been drafted which
allows the properties in this area be permitted to use standard R-1 Single-Family residential
lot size and lot width requirements. The change has not been adopted so the current
requirements in place call for this property to comply with UDO Section 8.2.H.2.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends denial of the waiver requests to lot width and lot size. If the waivers are
denied, the plat must be denied. If the waivers are approved by theCommission, Staff
recommends approval of the Final Plat.
