GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
The property is undeveloped and is located at 6040 Pfeil Road, otherwise generally located approximately 2,300 feet to the north-east of the Pfeil Road and IH-10 access road intersection.
ACCESS AND CIRCULATION:
The property will have access and frontage to Pfeil 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 Hope Acre 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 an 8inch water line that runs along Pfeil Road.
Sewer: The applicant has provided a waiver request to the requirement to extend public sanitary sewer to serve the proposed Hope Acre subdivision. The closest possible sewer connection is 1,700 feet away and is part of the San Antonio River Authority (SARA). To connect to the closest system a CCN transfer would be required. The Engineering Department has reviewed the waiver request and determined that, given the size of the proposed subdivision and the complexity of connecting to SARA infrastructure, it will support this waiver request. 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 have an on-site sewer facility (OSSF).
Drainage: The applicant is responsible for all drainage associated with the subject property, and for compliance with Stormwater regulations. A Stormwater Management Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
Road Improvements: The Hope Acre subdivision will be dedicating 15 feet of right of way along the frontage of Pfeil Road. Construction plans for all public improvements will be submitted for review and approval by the Engineering Department prior to the approval of the final plat.
