C. HEARING DATE: July~j, 1992 LOCATION: Northwest corner of Sandy Lake Road and Heartz Road. SIZE OF AREA: 20.89 Acres (which includes a 2.0 acre retention pond), 58 lots. REQUEST: Approval of a final plat. APPLICANT: Chaucer Estates Joint Venture Dan Dowdey & Associates (Owner) Mr. Gte§ Rich 5001LBJ Freeway Suite 830 Dallas, Texas 75244 (214) 960-2777 (EnGineer) Mr. Bill Anderson 16250 Dallas Parkway Dallas, Texas 75248 (214) 931-0694 HISTORY: The property was rezoned from (TC) to (PD-SF-7) approximately one year ago. TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road, which abuts this property on the south is currently a two lane asphalt road contained in a variable width right-of-way. Sandy Lake is projected to be a four lane divided thoroughfare (C4D/6) within a 110 foot right-of-way. Heartz Road, on the east, is a two lane road in 60 foot of right-of-way (C2U). SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - vacant, City Hall; TC South - developed single-family; 2F-9 East - developing single-family, vacant; TC & SF-12 West - vacant; TC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows this land as being developed with Town Center uses. ANALYSIS: Because this plat reflects the plan shown on the PD zoning application, staff has no objection to approving it subject to conditions which insure the PD plan agreed to in public hearing is followed. When the preliminary plat was approved, the following comments were made: "Two items which warrant comment relate to requirements for additional valves/fire hydrants, and detailed review of storm drainage plan inlet sizes, location, and hydraulics. These issues will be specifically addressed at final plat review." These issues have been addressed. Additionally, a screening wall easement needs to be shown adjacent to Sandy Lake Road, a note needs to be placed on the final plat document indicating no alley access is being provided to Lots 1-8, Block C, and the previous conditions attached to the 2 acre retention pond need inclusion here, i.e., constant level pond, fountain, landscaping around pond, fencinG, algae control program. Finally, there is a 10 foot T.U. Electrical easement shown on the north border of this plat, and adjacent to our new Library site. Because preliminary library desi§n indicates orientation to the lake, and the fact that this easement could contain above Grade electrical transmission wires, thus damaGinG aesthetic views of the lake, staff strongly urges elimination of this easement, and direction to T.U. Electric to determine another means to serve the TC zoned land. Staff would also recommend that T.U. Electric put all its wires underground in and around this entire TC zoned area. On June 18, 1992, the Planning Commission by unanimous vote, denied this final plat due to insufficient information being submitted. Among the Commissioner's concerns were specifics of the final plat including maintenance of common open space, degree of maintenance, open space and landscaping plans, a question regarding the water surface of the lake, protective screening, etc. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Final Plat 2) Deny the Final Plat 3) Modify the Final Plat ATTACHMENTS: 1} Final Plat CHAUCER.STF CHAUCER ESTATES CO(~LL, TEXAS C~IAUCER COU II CHAUCER ESTATES CO~LL, TEXAS ,,Jill ,tlJ ~Jr,~ // ~ ® CHAUCER ESTATES COPI~LL, 1~ X.~S
