These easements will be discussed in detail under the DISCUSSION section of this report. TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is built as a four-lane divided thoroughfare within 100' of right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - Peanut Gallery Day Care Center- C (Commercial) South -Northlake Woodlands East Phase 2 (PD-91-SF-7) East Vacant C (Commercial) West - UPS office - C (Commercial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as suitable for neighborhood retail uses. DISCUSSION: Page 2 of 3 This property is being platted to allow for the development of a 4,800- square-foot medical office building. The subject tract has never been platted, but the properties to the north and east were platted as part of the Sandy Lake Addition in the early 1990's. Various easements, including access, utility, fire lane and drainage were established abutting and traversing this tract over the past 14 years. In 1998, sufficient R.O.W. was dedicated, by separate instrument, to allow for the expansion of Sandy Lake Road. It also appears that when this property transferred ownership last year, additional easements were established and various easements were abandoned and re-established. These activities have resulted in various conflicts and overlapping easements. The existing concrete driveway along the northern border of this tract provides access from the day care to the north and the UPS facility on the west, to Samuel Boulevard. This easement was partially abandoned and re- established last year as an access easement. This plat designates this area as a fire lane easement. Just to the south of that easement, a drainage, utility and access easement was established in 2003. The site plan indicates parking and a driveway in this area. The applicant needs to verify that parking is permitted within this easement. Item# 9 In the southern portion of this tract, the existing driveway on Sandy Lake Road will be shared by the subject tract and the existing facility to the west. This driveway allows access to the existing full median opening on Sandy Lake Road. However, similar activities have occurred where easements were dedicated and abandoned and rededicated. Specifically, the 24-foot wide fire lane proposed by this plat overlays an existing, separately established cross access and drainage easement. The site plan indicates that this cross access easement extends beyond the eastern property line, but the plat indicates it terminating at the property line. Again, the applicant needs to confirm the location and configuration of this easement. Finally, along the southern property line there appears to be an existing TP&L easement, established in 2001, which does not appear on this plat. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of Sandy Lake Addition, Lot 3, Block A (McAnelly), Minor Plat, subject to the following conditions: 1) The applicant confirming location, configurations and uses allowed in all easements affecting this tract. 2) Graphically indicate the existing TP&L easement adjacent to Sandy Lake Road.
