Item#5
On January 9, 2001, Council approved a Detail Plan for Tracts 4
and 4X of this PD. Part of this approval was a condition to
prepare a tree mitigation plan.
In October 2001, Council approved a reduction of parking required
for warehouse uses on Tract 1 from one space per 1,000-square
feet to one space per 5,000-square feet subject to sufficient land
being available to provide parking at a higher ratio while meeting
all landscaping requirements, if necessary; allowed for additional
monument signage; and attached a tree reparation/landscape plan
to the PD.
On May 14, 2002, Council approved PD-186R3 for a Concept Plan
for a 195,000 square-foot building, with reduced parking for Tract
3 of the original PD. Also that evening, Council approved PD-
186R4, for a Detail Plan for Tract 4 to allow the development of an
approximate 160,000 square-foot building for Uline, Inc. This
building has recently been constructed and is currently occupied.

The construction of Freeport Parkway is complete through this
property as a C4D/6 four-lane divided built in a six-lane (120-foot)
R.O.W. Ruby Road is currently being improved to a two-lane,
undivided 37' road, within 60 feet of right-of-way.

DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
As discussed in the HISTORY section, this entire PD was final platted in
2000 to allow for the construction of Freeport Parkway. Since that time,
various lots have been replatted for the development of individual
buildings. This 55.1 acre replat is being requested to allow for the
development of a 1,101,500 square-foot office/warehouse building on
Tract 1 of this PD and is being replatted into three lots. The
office/warehouse will be located on Lot 3R (49.566 acres) and the other
two "X" lots, Lot 3R-X1 (3 acres), located at the intersection of Freeport
Parkway and Ruby Road, and Lot 3R-X2 (2.505 acres), located on
Freeport Parkway south of the proposed building, will be devoted to
landscaping.
Item #5
The City has been working with the owner/developer of this tract of
property to realign and improve Ruby Road to a two-lane, 37-foot wide
street. On September 24, 2002, Council approved an ordinance
abandoning a portion of Ruby Road right-of-way and further authorized
the City Manager to execute the necessary documents for the sale of the
piece of property between the abandoned R.O.W. and new alignment of
Ruby Road to Duke Realty. Therefore, this replat incorporates Tract 3
(0.173 acres) of the Duke-Freeport Addition and 2.314 acres of unplatted
property, which includes 1.033 acres of abandoned Ruby Road right-of-
way and 1.281 acres to be purchased from the City. The funds from the
proceeds of this sale of property will be utilized for Ruby Road
improvements. The bid for the construction of this road improvement was
let in November of this year. Considering the timing of these two
projects, the Engineering Department is requesting that the development of
this tract be coordinated with the Ruby Road project. The Engineering
staff is also requiring a written agreement relating the joint use of a fire
line and a separate instrument establishing a portion of a fire-lane
easement.
Finally, this replat cannot be filed with the County until such time that all
necessary documents related to the purchase of City property and
abandonment of right-of-way are executed.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Duke-Freeport Addition, Lots
3R, 3R-X1 and 3R-X2, Block A, a Replat of a portion of Lot 1 and all of
Lot 3, Block A, and a Minor Plat of 2.314 acres of unplatted property,
subject to:
1) All work on this site to be coordinated with the Ruby Road project.
2) Submission of a written agreement between this property and the
property to the south (Freeport IX), acknowledging the joint use of
the fire line between these two properties.
3) Submission of an easement, by separate instrument, to connect the
24' fire lane to the properly to the south.
4) Correction of the lot number in the City Secretary's signature block.
