Item # 16
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
residential low density
DISCUSSION: The property is currently developed with a single family home as are
both sides of Kaye Street, from Coppell Road to its terminus to the east
at Round Oak Estates. These homes were constructed prior to the City's
current requirements for platting and zoning. This property is located in
the W.A. Maynard Addition, which is an unrecorded subdivision. Kaye
Street currently has 25 feet of right-of-way, which is substandard for a
residential street. A ten foot drainage, utility and sidewalk easement is
being provided along Kaye Street. The purpose of this easement is that
if in the future, the city desires to make improvements to this street
and/or utilities, the necessary easement will be in place. This plat also
reflects an existing drainage easement along the northern boundary of the
tract, which was acquired by the city by a separate instrument in 1991.
The owner desires to demolish the existing structure and build a new
home on this tract. This property is currently zoned SF-12, requiring a
minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet. Although this lot is only 70 x
140 (9,800 square feet), per Section 40-5-4 of the Zoning Ordinance, a
lot may have less square footage than required by the zoning district if it
is an "official lot of record". Section 42-75 defines "Lot of Record" as
an "area of land designated as a lot on a plat ..... or an area of land held
in single ownership described by metes and bounds upon a deed recorded
and registered with the County Clerk". This lot meets the second
criteria. However, prior to the issuance of a building permit for a home
on this property, a recorded plat is required per Section 39-1 of the
Zoning Ordinance Creation of a Building Site.
This plat meets the criteria of a minor plat because it involves four or
fewer lots, fronts on an existing street and does not require the extension
of municipal facilities. The Director of Planning and Community
Services has elected to bring this to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for a recommendation. If a favorable consideration is
recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, then City
Council action will not be required.
Revisions are needed to the Dedication Signature Block, replacing
Tarrant County with Dallas County, and adding the Floodplain
Administrator's signature block.
