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: Page 2 of 3 Item #13 1) Mutual access easement being established along the western property line to allow abutting property access to median opening. 2) 3) 4) S) 6) 7) Mutual access easement being provided from the driveway to S.H. 121 to properties abutting to the north and south. Resolve the inconsistencies in the easements between the plat and site plan. Vicinity Map - the street to the north of the subject property is Canyon Drive not Corporate Park. Inclusion of the Flood Plain Administrator's signature block on the second page of the plat. Revise the title block and City Secretary's signature block to reference Minor Plat. Compliance with Engineering Department comments, as attached. ALTERNATIVES 1) 2) 3) Recon'unend approval of the request. Recommend disapproval of the request. Recommend modification of the request.

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.
