In 2003 staff initiated several rezonings and Comprehensive
HISTORY:
Land Use Plan amendments to provide consistency between
the built environment, the Land Use Plan and the Zoning
Map. With this tract in particular, staff initiated a Land Use
Plan Amendment from Neighborhood Retail to Low Density
Single Family and a rezoning from Commercial to Single
Family-12 on approximately 14 acres, leaving the remaining
four acres of frontage along Denton Tap Road for non-
residential uses. At that time the property owners opposed

the rezoning, but did accept the amendment to the Land
Use Plan.
On February 13, 2007, Council approved a Planned
Development district and a Preliminary Plat to allow for 26
single-family lots to be developed on this tract of land. Due
to the number of outstanding conditions, an Ordinance was
not brought forward for adoption.
On June 12, 2007, Council approved an amendment to the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan designating the eastern
portion Residential, Low Density, and a revised Planned
Development district and a Preliminary Plat to allowing 29
single-family lots to be developed on this tract of land. The
increase in number of lots was due to the potential
relocation of the flood plain line to the north. Council also
granted the Planning and Zoning Commission the authority
to approve the final plat on this property.
On January 17, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission
denied a final plat on this property due to the following
issues which were outstanding: location of the 100 yearflood
plain line; correction of the sewer easement note and
graphically indicating the location of this abandoned
easement; and the resolution of the boundary dispute.

DISCUSSION
for this property was denied by the Planning and Zoning
Commission in January of this year due to three issues that
were outstanding at that time; the location of the flood
plain, a the inclusion of a sanitary sewer easement and a
boundary dispute.
FLOOD PLAIN
On March 27, 2008 staff received the official revision to the
floodplain map (LOMR) from FEMA. This document was
dated March 24, 2008 and has an effective date of April 24,
2008. The location of the 100 year flood plain line generally
conforms to what staff and the applicant’s consultants
anticipated. The only change to the plat necessitated by
the FEMA revision is the minimum finish floor elevation for Lot
11 needed to be revised from 493.7 to 494.4. This revision is
now reflected on the Final Plat.
SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT
As discussed at length at the previous Planning and Zoning
meeting, there is a 40 year old, 12-inch clay pipe
approximately 8-10 feet below the surface, which will
continue to exist under the building pad area of 14 lots. The
use of this sewer line was discontinued in 1993/94, so the
easement may be abandoned by council action, which is
tentatively scheduled for consideration at their April 22
nd
meeting. Typically, abandoned easements are graphically
shown on the plat to give proper notice to a potential buyer
that something does, or did exist underground. Ideally, staff
would prefer that this existing clay pipe be graphically
indicated on the face of the plat. But, due to the pending
litigation, we have been advised that the inset graphically
indicating the location of this line on the second page of this
plat would be acceptable.
BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTE
This dispute has been resolved between the property owners
the revised boundary line is appropriately reflected on the
final plat.
As stated in the history section of this report, City Council has
authorized the Planning Commission to be the final authority
on this plat.
