HEARING DATE: November 13, 2001 (Originally approved by Council August 8, 2000) LOCATION: At the southwest comer of Carter Drive and Moore Road. SIZE OF AREA: Approximately 7.96 acres of property. CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single Family-12) REQUEST: Replat approval of two lots in this five-lot subdivision APPLICANT: Mr. Brian Rathe Engineer: Pate Engineers 846 Mallard 8150 Bmokriver Dive Coppell, Texas 75019 Suite S-800 (972) 393-9784 Dallas, Texas 75247 Fax: (214) 678-9669 (214) 357-2981 Fax: (214) 357-2985 HISTORY: There has been considerable platting history on this property with subdividing and re-subdividing slxetching over at least the last five years on this five-lot subdivision. The original Final Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on November 21, 1996. That plat was not filed for record within the expiration date (May 21, 1997). Therefore, the original plat was deemed null and void and the submission of a new Final Plat was required. In April of 1998 a new final plat was submitted which contained the same five lots, but in a different configuration. After staff review, the plat was approved. In the fall of 1999 a re-plat was submitted with the same five lots, and it was approved in October of 1999. Most recently, on August 8, 2000, the City Council approved a replat for Lots 1 and 2 of this subdivision. Again, this replat needed to be filed for record within a six-month time period. This plat has once again expired, and therefore, is being submitted for review and approval. Item # 9 TRANSPORTATION: Moore Road is a C2U, two-lane undivided road built in a 60 foot right-of-way. Carter Drive is a two-lane local street contained within a 50-foot right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- single-family homes; SF- 12 South - DART right-of-way; A (Agricultural) East - single family homes; SF-12 West -vacant; SF-12 and A (Agricultural) COMPREHENSWE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for low density residential uses. However, a portion of the southern area is shown to be in the floodplain. DISCUSSION: As indicated in the History Section of this report, there have been several iterations of proposed subdivision development on this parcel. Although this lotting pattern is not ideal from a planning perspective, this replat of Lots 1 and 2 was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the City Council 14 months ago. However, once again, this plat was not filed with the county within the required six- month period, and therefore, has become null and void. This is a residential subdivision, therefore, all replats are required to be considered at a public hearing where all property owners, within 200 feet, within the original subdivision are notified. Given that this replat has once again expired, approval is required through this same public hearing process. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the replat of Lot 1 and 2 of Carter addition, Phase II, subject to the following condition: 1. Fill in the name of the subdivision in the City Secretary's signature block. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request 2) Recommend disapproval of the request 3) Recommend modification of the request ATTACHMENTS: 1) Replat of Carter Addition, Phase II, Lots 1 and 2 Item # 9
