GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
The subject property is located at 11185 IH 10 E at the intersection of N Graytown Road and the IH 10 frontage road and is currently vacant and undeveloped.
ACCESS AND CIRCULATION:
The property will have access and frontage to N Graytown Road and the IH10 frontage road.
TREE MITIGATION AND PRESERVATION:
The applicant will be responsible for complying with Unified Development Code (UDC), Section 21.9.9 Tree Preservation and Mitigation. At this time the applicant has indicated no intention of removing trees.
PUBLIC SERVICES:
The proposed Graytown Commercial Subdivision will be serviced by City of Schertz for water, CPS, and AT&T. The applicant has requested a waiver to not connect to the public sanitary sewer system. If the waiver is granted, the site will be serviced by an on-site sewer facility (OSSF).
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS:
All public improvements required for this subdivision are required to be installed prior to recording of the final plat per UDC, Section 21.4.15., unless otherwise specified in an approved improvement agreement.
Water: This subdivision will be serviced by the City of Schertz through a 8-inch water line that runs along the frontage of the property.
Sewer: The applicant has provided a waiver request to the requirement to extend public sanitary sewer to serve the proposed Graytown Commercial Subdivision and to construct a on-site sewer facility (OSSF). The Engineering Department has reviewed the waiver request and recommends conditional approval of the waiver given the closest possible sewer connection is a San Antonio River Authority (SARA) facility across IH 10. The City does have a planned 2030 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for an 8-inch gravity sewer line along IH 10E and Graytown Road to connect to the SARA collection system once that is extended across the highway. Once public infrastructure has been extended to the area, the subdivision will be required to connect to the sanitary sewer system in accordance with Section 90-78 of the Code of Ordinances. Until that time, per approval of the waiver request, the property will be allowed to construct an on-site sewer facility (OSSF) that will be permitted by Bexar County.
Drainage: The applicant is responsible for all drainage associated with the subject property, and for compliance with storm water regulations. A Storm Water Management Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
Road Improvements: The applicant is dedicating Right of Way on N. Graytown Road as it is designated as a Secondary Rural Arterial on the Master Thoroughfare Plan.
