David Ozment MEMBERS ABSENT: Jack Cleghorn OTHERS PRESENT: Elaine Cattaneo, Becky Bryant, Doug Hemingway and Harry Gray FINAL PLAT OF SEXTON POINT SUBDIVISION JD( LINDSEY - S OF JOYCE, W OF CROSSOVER The first item was the final plat of Sexton Point Subdivision submitted by Doug Hemingway of Professional Surveyors, on behalf of Lindsey/Sexton/J.W. Reynolds Lumber Company. Property is zoned R-0, Residential -Office and contains 1.55 acres with 2 proposed lots. In answer to a question from Chairman Tarvin, Mr. Hemingway stated that they have no problem with any of the Plat Review comments. He noted that, although this is zoned R-0(Residential-Office), it will be developed as single-family homes. MOTION Commissioner Springborn moved to approve this final plat subject to the Plat Review comments, seconded by Ozment. The motion passed 3-0-0. PRELIMINARY PLAT OF PRATT WOODS ADDITION (REVISED) JULIAN ARCS - S OF MARKHAM, W OF RAZORBACK RD The first item was a preliminary plat of Pratt Woods Addition (Revised) submitted by Harry Gray, of Northwest Engineers, on behalf of Julian Archer for property located on the south side of Markham, west of Razorback Road containing 9.9 acres with 4 proposed lots. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. Chairman Tarvin noted that the only question seemed to be whether or not a septic system will be allowed on two of the tracts. He added that there is an easement noted on the plat for city sewer. Mr. Gray advised that he has provided an easement on the plat for the city sewer line, but they would like to have the option of having a septic system on tracts B & C. City sewer is available to tracts A & D. Mr. Gray stated that this is shown as a revised preliminary plat because there was a preliminary plat approved on this property a few years ago for a single- • • ,• Subdivision Committee May 31, 1990 Page 2 family development with about 17 lots. Dr. Archer planned, at that time, to put in exposed aggregate streets and Victorian street lights. However, it was so expensive that they weren't able to get a loan. Now, he plans four large lots with a private drive. He noted that tracts B & C are tandem lots with a 25' access. Tracts A & D would have the required frontage on an existing public street. In answer to a question from Co'u'nissioner Springborn, Mr. Gray stated that private streets have to meet surface requirements of a public street and have trash pick-up and mail delivery. There aren't any particular improvement requirements on private drives. He added that Dr. Archer wants to save as many of the trees as possible. Cy Sutherland, an adjoining property owner, stated that he appreciated being notified of this meeting. But, he is curious to know why they didn't get a notice when the earlier plat was submitted. He added that this four lot development appeals to the neighbors more than the higher density. He noted that he is concerned about the potential for further subdivision of the property. Becky Bryant advised that the tandem lots without frontage on a public street can't be subdivided. She commented that it is the responsible of the developer to provide notification to the adjoining property owners with a preliminary plat. She added that the requirements haven't changed in the last few years and doesn't know why they didn't receive notice. Mr. Gray advised that tracts B & C cannot be further split, because they are tandem lots. Each lot in an R-1 zone must have 70 feet of frontage and tracts A & D wouldn't have enough frontage to be split again. The only possibility is that a tandem lot could be provided on tract A with a 25' access drive to the back of the property. Mrs. Elizabeth Kellar stated that the extension of Hotz Drive is platted, but not existing. Therefore, someone could split a lot with frontage on Hotz. John Williams advised that the extension of Hotz Drive was vacated. Mr. Williams stated that he was concerned that this property wouldn't be developed as single-family but has been assured by the staff that it is zoned for single-family. Mrs. Elizabeth Kellar stated that she is concerned about more drainage from this development down their street. Mr. Gray advised that this plan would have about the minimal impact that development could have. In answer to a question from Commissioner Springborn, Mr. Gray stated that there will be covenants on this development. MOTION Commissioner Springborn moved to approve this preliminary plat subject to Plat '6q • • • Subdivision Cour ittee May 31, 1990 Page 3 Review comments, that they consult the City Engineer relative to potential drainage problems and with the recommendation that the city sewer extension be required to serve all these lots, seconded by Tarvin.The motion passed 3-0-0. FINAL PLAT OF MT COMFORT MEADOWS HOWARD SANDERS - S OF MT COMFORT RD, W OF 71 BYPASS The third item was a final plat of Mount Comfort Meadows submitted by Harry Gray, of Northwest Engineers, on behalf of Howard Sanders for property located south of Mt. Comfort Road and west of 71 Bypass containing 5.73 acres with 17 proposed lots. Harry Gray stated that the developer had no problems with the Plat Review comments. Commissioner Ozment stated that they required, with the preliminary plat, that lots 1 & 17 only have access to Alpine Avenue. MOTION Commissioner Ozment moved to approve the final plat subject to Plat Review comments, seconded by Springborn. The motion passed 3-0-0. There was further discussion regarding where the sidewalk -should be located. 1q0
