Item #13
HISTORY:
There is no zoning or platting history on this tract of land. However, the owners
of this property, who also own the property abutting to the west, participated when
the City initiated the rezoning of 200+ acres of property from Light Industrial to
Highway Commercial along the S.H. 121 frontage. The triangular tract of land
between the subject tract and S.H. 121, north of Sandy Lake is now zoned for
Highway Commercial.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake is designated as a C4D/6 on the Thoroughfare Plan. In
the third quarter of this year, construction will begin to improve this
existing two-lane asphalt road to a four-lane divided thoroughfare
within 110-120 feet of right-of-way. The median has been designed
to be wide enough to accommodate the additional two lanes, if
warranted in the future.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Undeveloped LI (Light Industrial)
South Undeveloped Four Seasons Addition; LI (Light Industrial)
East Undeveloped LI (Light Industrial)
West- Undeveloped LI (Light Industrial) and HC (Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Light Industrial and Showroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
This Minor Plat will establish a building site for the proposed 605,000-
square-foot building, as well as easements as required for fire lanes, access
and municipal and franchise utilities. As discussed in detail in the Site
Plan review, there are several outstanding issues relating to access to S.H.
121 and the provision of mutual access opportunities for abutting
properties. As discussed in the attached comments from the Engineering
Department, it is also critical that the applicant provides proper
documentation that establishes off-site drainage and access easements.
Inconsistencies between the plat and site plan easements must also be
rectified. Finally, the standard Flood Plain Administrator's signature block
must be added to the second page of the plat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the West Sandy Lake Addition, Lot
1, Block 1, Minor Plat, subject to the following conditions:

Comments
1. The flag-shaped lot that allows access to SH 121 - the driveway will need to be approved and
permitted by TxDOT, and it will impact the surrounding properties. Only certain driveway
spacing is allowed which means that shared access may be a consideration for the benefit of
future developments along that corridor.
2. We request a copy for our files of the 50' mutual access and fire lane easement granted by
separate instrument on the property to the east.
3. We need to have for our files some type of easement or agreement on the drainage
situation. We are concentrating a lot of water into a small point and discharging it onto the
property to the east of this development. Has this been addressed with the adjacent property
owner?
Preliminary Water & Wastewater Plan -
1. Proposed sanitary sewer line needs to tie into the line in Sandy Lake Road rather than the
line on the adjacent private property.
Additional comments may be generated during full engineering review.
