HISTORY:
Page 1 of 3
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
Item # 6
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 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 separate 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
COMPREHENSIVE 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 fire lane and
required utility easements.
This plat requires several minor revisions. First, the water line easements
are for the fire hydrants that are 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 comer 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.
