COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Plan showed a special use district. The revised
proposal suggests a residential use.
DISCUSSION:
The approved Planned Development site plan showed a total of 74 residential lots while this
preliminary plat is showing a total of 70 lots. The reduction of 4 lots was to mitigate the
potential problems with certain cul-de-sacs which could pose problems to fire trucks. The
applicant needs to make a number of minor corrections to the plat, landscape and elevation plan
such as show the type and quantity of planting material going to be used at the subdivision entry,
provide dimensions of the proposed subdivision sign and comply with the engineering comments.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:

COMMENT STATUS:
Landscaping Plans:

coming off of Bethel Road to be 15 feet in width, however, the plat shows 21 feet in
width. These should be consistent. Also, the exit should be a minimum of 25 feet
in width.

1. Some type of slope protection may be required in the bend of Grapevine Creek
adjacent to lot 45, Block B and Lot IX, Block A.
2. A floodplain reclamation study will be required.
3. There will be no parking on the street for lots adjacent to the narrow paving for the
streets and cul-de-sacs.
4. Impact fees will be required.
