COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
APPROVE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
Planning:
1. Pursuant to Section 3-2 (A) of the Subdivision Ordinance, access easements serving as the primary access to a proposed lot must be at least 50 feet wide with a 30-foot paving section. Revise the plat to increase the access easement width serving Lot 6, Block 1 accordingly, as the current 30-foot width does not meet this requirement.
2. Pursuant to Section 3-3. C. of the Subdivision Ordinance, each lot must have adequate access to an existing public street. Revise the plat to ensure that Lot 7, Block 1 complies with this requirement as it currently relies on Fasken Boulevard for access. Fasken Boulevard is part of the plat of Embarcadero Southeast Quadrant, Phase 3, which has not yet been recorded and accepted by the City. Therefore, this plat cannot be recorded until Fasken Boulevard is formally recorded and accepted. Alternatively, reconfigure the lot layout to ensure all lots comply with the access requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance.
3. Pursuant to Section 2-3. 8 (6) of the Subdivision Ordinance, plats located in areas of special flood hazard where a map revision is proposed must illustrate both existing and proposed floodplain boundaries. Revise the plat drawing accordingly. In addition, include the following plat note: “Existing floodplain lines will be utilized for the purpose of issuing building permits until a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is granted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).” Coordinate with the One-Stop Shop (OSS) for floodplain compliance.
4. Pursuant to Section 2-3.1 (a) (iv) of the Subdivision Ordinance, the site plan must be submitted separately. Therefore, please remove the site plan layer from the plat drawing.
5. Pursuant to Section 2-3.2(b)(1)(xii) of the Subdivision Ordinance, the overall boundaries of the plat must be clearly delineated using heavy lines. Revise the plat to ensure the proposed subdivided area is easily distinguishable from surrounding features and adjacent phases, as the current linework does not adequately define the plat boundary.
6. Revise the plat to ensure a logical and sequential numbering of lots within the phase. The current numbering begins with Lot 2, which may cause confusion. Lots should be numbered consecutively and assigned to new block numbers, where there is a clear break in layout or continuity, to maintain consistency within the phase.
7. Coordinate with the Traffic Department for driveway placements/shared access.
8. Access to FM 1472 and Bob Bullock Loop is subject to the review and approval by the Texas Department of Transportation (TX-DOT).
9. Identify all easements.
10. All improvements as per the Subdivision Ordinance.
