Commission Meeting Adgenda Items

2. P&Z Case No. 41-70 Consideration of the Preliminary Plat P
of "Ponderosa Place" Subdivision. As may be seen on the a;.•
enclosed copy of the plat, "Ponderosa Place" is only a
division of part of the Area Progress Corporation land south of the
west bypass. It segements off two parcels along highway 6
immediately across from the East bypass and at the point where
the East bypass and highway 6 join. The plat provides an
additional 46.7 feet to the existing highway 6 right-of-way
to even up the existing right-of-way along highway 6. The
primary purpose of adding r-n-w is to allow the developer
at a latter date to add a frontage road paralleling highway 6.
Another r-o-w, 70 feet wide, is provided on the northern
boundary of the subdivision to provide future access into
property behind the subdivision. The two parcels mentioned
above areabout 4 acres and 2 acres each. The 70 foot wide
r-o-w is located so that it would be an extention of the
northbound lane of the east by-pass. (see map attached) . 4
There are no residential lots on the plat. It is platted
to facilitate:: the commercial sale of the parcels and to
provide the right-of-way addition for highway 6.
3•
4. Consideration of proposed Subdivision Regulation revisions.
Item 1, changing the r-o-w of city residential streets
frorrs 50 to 60 feet is UNNECESSARY. It becomes necessary ONLY
�, hn sid walks are to be provided on residential streets. It
le prof gyred that the City Planner review and study the proposed
_. .s.division plats to determine the technical feasibility
or the location of collector streets in residential areas and
. ; provide for them then at the time of the pre-submission
eenference. A note about determining the classification
oT' streets. Transportation PLANNERS Should plan the location
of collectors , arterials and overall street patterns. At the
completion of the planning phase, Transportation ENGINEERS
should take over the project. I would recommend that residential
streets surrounding apartment areas be 60 foot -o-w and 38 foot
paved sections provided rather than the blanket 50 foot r-o-w
and 28 foot paved sections, if it is felt that 50 feet r-o-w
widths for residential streets would by definition include
apartment complexes.
j. T. O.P.I.C.S. means Traffic Operations Program To Increase
Capacity and Safety. It 1s a federal program. . The federal
6roverninent and the Texas Highway Department share 50-50 in
the cost of the plan and installation of the plan. I have
prepared a 3 to 4 minute report to be shown on the opaque
• projector related to this item. D. D. Williamson, T.H.D.
Transportation Planner may discuss TOPICS at the meeting
` .f he is in town.
