GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
The property is currently used as a residence located at 12396 Schaeffer Road, Schertz, Texas, otherwise generally located approximately 4,800 feet east of the intersection of FM 1518 and Schaeffer Road.
ACCESS AND CIRCULATION:
The property will have access and frontage to Schaeffer 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 Burnette 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 6-inch water line that runs along Schaeffer Road
Sewer: The applicant has provided a waiver request to the requirement to extend public sanitary sewer to serve the proposed Burnette Subdivision and to bring the already existing on-site sewer facility (OSSF) into compliance with the UDC. The Engineering Department has reviewed the waiver request and recommends approval of the waiver given the closest possible sewer connection is 4,000 feet away, and there are no proposals for development in addition to the existing home. 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 continue to utilize the existing 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.
