SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Northlake Woodlands 7; (SF -12) Single Family -12
South - Carter Addition; (SF -12) Single Family -12
East - Carter Addition; (SF -12) Single Family -12
West - Carter Addition; (SF -12) Single Family -12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Residential Low
Density.
DISCUSSION: This property contains a 64 year old single family home, and
accessory buildings including a 3,000 square foot barn, 1,200
square foot carport, and a pool. Over twenty years ago, this
property was platted for a five -lot single family subdivision which
was to be accessed via a cul -de -sac street from Bethel School
Road.
Currently, the owner - occupant desires to redevelop this property
into two, one acre lots fronting on Bethel School Road, thus
necessitating the re- platting of the property. This replat includes
the abandonment of the existing utility easements, provides for
the necessary right -of -way for Bethel School Road and establishes
a 50' front building line to be consistent with the abutting
properties. The tree survey indicates there are 46 existing trees on
this site, a majority of which are located close to the perimeter of
the tract. Given that homes have yet to be designed, It is
reasonable to require that the tree removal permit not be
required until prior to the issuance a building permit.
A companion action to this replat will be the abandonment of the
50' right -of -way for Doggett Cove. Our city attorney has
instructed staff that this abandonment needs to be accomplished
through an Ordinance approved by City Council.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Westfork Addition, Lots 1 R and
2R subject to the following conditions:
1. A tree removal permit will be required prior to the removal of
any trees.
2. Council approval of the Abandonment Ordinance for
Doggett Cove.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
4. Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date
ATTACHMENTS:
