LOCATION: At the northeast comer of Sandy Lake Road and Samuel Boulevard.
SIZE OF AREA: 19.53 acres

REQUEST: Approval of a Replat to allow the expansion of the original plat.
APPLICANT: St. Ann Catholic Church Represented By:
Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas Nathan Maier Engineers
129 Lansdowne Circle 8800 N. Central Expwy.
Coppell, TX 75019 Three Northpark, Ste. 300
(214) 528-4870 (214) 739-4741
HISTORY: The northern portion of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2 were previously platted as
St. Ann Catholic Church Addition, and the southern portion of Lot 1 was
platted as Georgetown Plaza. Please see attached exhibit. On June 17,
1993, the Planning Commission denied the replat of this parcel because
the applicant failed to meet all platting requirements.
Item 11
TRANSPORTATION: This site is adjacent to Sandy Lake Road, which is presently a
2-lane asphalt roadway with plans for expansion to a 4-lane divided road
within 110 feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Single-Family use; SF-9 zoning
South - Single-Family use; PD SF zoning
East - Single-Family use; SF-9 zoning
West Commercial & Vacant; C Zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial for the southern portion of the property (Georgetown
Retail Center) and the northern piece to develop as single-family.
ANALYSIS: The purpose of this replat is to combine the new property that St. Ann's
Catholic Church recently acquired (the undeveloped land at the northwest
corner of Sandy Lake Road and Samuel Boulevard), with the present
facility into one lot, and create lot 2 where the existing Georgetown
Shopping Center is located. Each of the parcels is presently platted under
separate names; the church property (the northernmost property) is platted
under the name of St. Ann Catholic Church Addition, and the retail
shopping center (the southernmost property) exists under the name of
Georgetown Plaza.
Our initial concerns which resulted in denial of the plat in June related to
four issues:
1. sidewalks along Samuel Boulevard - they still do not want
to provide them;
2. landscaping - the attachment meets our streetscape
requirements;
3. fire lanes - they are in the process of promoting a fire lane
around Georgetown Center, and
4. right-of-way - existing right-of-way shows on revised
replat.
Staff would point out that the provision of sidewalks along Samuel
Boulevard are still desirable. We would also point out that additional
fight-of-way along Sandy Lake Road may be required if Council accepts
the concept of the ALLWAYS program. Engineering would request that
an additional 5-foot dedication be provided along Sandy Lake Road in
anticipation that the ALLWAYS program will be endorsed by Council.
With sidewalks and the additional right-of-way, the applicant would abide
by our platting requirements, even though eventual use of the property
cannot be determined at present.
