(adequate for six-lane divided thoroughfare). State Road is an
existing 2-lane roadway. The Thoroughfare Plan shows State Road
within the alignment for the connection of Freeport Parkway from its
recently constructed terminus at Ruby Road to its newest segment
northwest of State Highway 121, at the entrance to DFW Trade

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval for Lots 1 and 2,
Block A, AmberPoint Business Park and the extension of Northpoint
Drive, subdividing approximately 108.90 acres of property into two
separate lots on either side of the Northpoint Drive extension. The plat
will lay the framework for the corresponding Planned Development (PD-
194-LI) request, allowing the first speculative building to be constructed
within Phase I. The proposed plat will establish all necessary easements
and fire lanes, particularly dedicating the appropriate amount of right-of-
way along both Sandy Lake and State Roads. The subject plat will also
allow for the dedication of right-of-way for the extension of Northpoint
Drive from Royal Lane to Sandy Lake Road, running through the
AmberPoint project. Additionally, the applicant has shown a dedication
of a 12' Hike and Bike Path Easement along the east property line,
adjacent to State Road.
Currently, Northpoint Drive ends east of the Royal Lane intersection. At
the connection point of the existing Northpoint Drive and its extension,
additional right-of-way is needed from the City for the southern portion of
the new roadway. This will be done by separate instrument.
