There has been no recent development history on the tract in
question although there was a zoning change on the property and
preliminary plat approval in June of 1997 with two plat
extensions granted by Council.
DeForest Road is a local street currently paved with asphalt. It
presently has a 40-foot right-of- way to which this developer will
add ten feet of dedication.
Item # 12
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-Denton Creek, vacant; "A', Agriculture
South - single family residences; PD- 137
East - single-family residences; PD-131
West -municipal service center; "A", Agriculture
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for residential uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is the final procedural step in the ultimate development of
this 15-acre parcel. Although the zoning which was granted
allowed 31 residential lots, the final plat submittal has reduced
that total to a 28 lot subdivision. With the restrictive covenant
agreed to by the developer regarding no fill and no build on the
20 foot west easement and 30 foot east easement, the hiring of an
arborist to preserve trees with Leisure Services input,
ingress/egress during construction along Bristol Court only, a
corner clip at the intersection of Stratford Lane/DeForest Road,
and placing the finished floor elevations on all lots, this final plat
addresses the requirements placed on the preliminary approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of this final plat with the
understanding that all conditions of the preliminary plat (see
attached June 13, 1997 letter of preliminary plat approval) are
followed, the $1285 park fee is paid, and entrance design is
approved by the Fire Department.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
ATTACHMENTS:
1) Final Plat Document
2) Tree Survey
3) Landscape Plan
4) Letter designating arborist
5) Seven conditions of Preliminary Plat approval
