HISTORY: In October 1991, the property abutting the subject tract to the south was
rezoned from R (Retail) to SF-9 (Single Family-9). The preliminary plat
for Riverview Estates was also approved with this rezoning. The Final
Plat was not approved until 1997. Given that the preliminary plat had
expired (even with one extension being granted), City Council's approval
Item N 7

was subject to the granting of a waiver to the Subdivision Ordinance,
which requires approval of a preliminary plat prior to final plat approval.
The final plat also provides for the HOA to maintain the median in
Riverview Drive at Sandy Lake Road. It also maintains the entry features,
which were established, by sepazate easement, in 1998.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road exists as a two-lane asphalt road. In the fall of
this year, improvement to a four-lane divided thoroughfare is
planned to commence; completion scheduled for spring of 2004.
Sufficient right-of--way exists adjacent to this property for this road
improvement.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North -undeveloped; Retail and Office
South - Riverview Estates; Single Family-9
East -undeveloped; Retail
West -Eagle Point at Riverchase; Single Family-7
COMPREHENSNE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail.
DISCUSSION: This is a companion request to the approval of the site plan for
Riverview Office Development. This 2.17-acre tract is being platted into
one lot to allow for the development of four office buildings. This plat
defines the property, reflects existing easements and establishes the fu•e
lane and required utility easements.
This plat requires several minor revisions. First, the water line
easements aze for the fire hydrants that aze private and are not required
to be in public easements. These easements need to be removed from the
plat. Second, an easement for the sidewalk needs to be added to the
southeast corner of the tract, along Riverview Drive. Third, Oncor
requested that the applicant meet with them to determine the location of
additional easements for their facilities. Finally, staff is requesting that
the Lot and Block numbers be added to the Title Block.
