Item 15
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a six-lane divided thoroughfare (PD6) contained
within a 100 foot right-of-way. Parkway Boulevard, which dead ends just
west of this property line, is a four-lane divided street (C4D) contained
within an 80-85 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Vacant; (R) Retail zoning
South - High School; (C) Commercial zoning
East - Future single-family; SF-7 zoning
West - Vacant; PD-SF & MF-2 zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The comprehensive Plan shows high density residential as the most
appropriate use for this tract of land. Although the Plan is now under
review, when completed, will reflect single-family development on this
tract.
ANALYSIS:
During the preliminary plat stage, you may recall that staff was concerned
with unresolved issues such as whether the assurance from the developer
that a pedestrian crossing under the bridge from Andrew Brown Park to
the high school would be provided and construction of the bridge over
Cottonwood Creek. The submission of construction plans for the
extension of Parkway Blvd., now include specifications for the bridge
structure as well as the pedestrian crossing.
As a part of the approval process of the preliminary plat, several
variances were requested and approved. They were:
a) Minimum centerline street radius = 150';
b) Maximum length of cul-de-sac = 800' (measured center line to
centetline;
c) Alleys not be required for Lots 8-34 Block "A"; lots 11-24,
Block E;
d) Common areas to be dedicated to and maintained by the
Homeowner Association.
Staff is supportive of this subdivision plat because this plat now reflects the
zoning standards approved by Commission and Council (SF-12 and SF-9), grants
access to both Andrew Brown Park and Cottonwood Creek, and respects the
streetscape plan relative to Parkway Boulevard and we recommend approval with
the following conditions:
a) That the applicant furnish a letter of map revision; and
b) a document for the Home Owner Maintenance agreement to
maintain the common areas, be provided.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the final plat.
2) Deny the final plat.
3) Modify the final plat.
ATFACI-IMENTS: 1) Final Plat
