STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
APPROVE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
Planning:
1. Verify the plat boundaries in relation to the adjacent platted tracts, to ensure there are no overlaps, as the boundaries of Lot 1, Block 1, Aquero Subdivision appears to overlap with the proposed Lots 5 and 6, Block 1 of the subject plat.
2. Identify 80-foot access easement located to the west of the subject plat, as shown on the recorded plat of UISD Juan Roberto Ramirez Middle School.
3. Shift Rhodes Road to align with Esperanza Loop on the north side to improve intersection alignment and reduce vehicle queuing.
4. The masterplan labels certain parcels as “Open Space,” while the Phase 1 plat identifies them as “Green Space Areas” for drainage and utility easements. Coordinate with the Engineering Department to clarify the intended use and ensure consistent labeling between the masterplan and plat.
5. Revise the street name “Esperanza Loop” as it already exists.
6. Provide the recording information (volume and page from the plat records) for all adjacent platted tracts, as required by Section 2-3.2 (b) (1) (xiii) Subdivision Ordinance.
7. A zone change will be required for the intended use. Please note that all zone change requests are subject to City Council discretion and are not guaranteed. Should the request be denied, a plat revision will be required.
8. The developer has submitted a notice of intention of place utilities in the front of the lot. The front-of-lot utility layout/schematics, as prepared by the Developer’s engineer, shall be submitted to plan review (Sec. 3-4 B.2 - Subdivision Ordinance).
9. Identify all easements.
10. All improvements as per the Subdivision Ordinance.
Traffic Safety:
1. With average 5000 SF lots, on-street parking (which is going to happen) is a concern on the lots with a red line. Can create sight distance issues as well as vehicle turning movements. (Consider delivery trucks, buses and/or vehicles with trailers).
Parks & Leisure:
1. Please post Park Improvement fees.
