ITEM 13
City Council Memorandum Development Services Memo No. 23-032
Date:
August 14, 2023
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Andy Bass, Deputy City Manager
Micah Miranda, Acting Development Services Director
From:
Lauren Schumann, Planning Senior Program Manager
Subject:
PLT21-0033 Magnolia
Request:
Preliminary Plat approval
Location:
East of the northeast corner of Riggs and Cooper roads
Applicant:
CVL Consultants
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve Preliminary Plat PLT21-0033 Magnolia, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Background Data:
Magnolia was approved by City Council on March 24, 2022, for a 93-lot single-family subdivision on approximately 36 acres (approval included preliminary plat as well as rezoning and preliminary development plan for subdivision layout)
The request is to approve a revised plat that has an extended tract at the northwest side of the property to create a larger buffer from an existing single-family subdivision
Plats create lots and tracts, establish necessary easements, and dedicate required rights-of-way
Purpose:
An amendment to the preliminary plat is necessary in order to resolve an issue with a significant difference in grade between the lot located at the northwest corner of the subdivision and an existing adjoining lot to the west located in the Windermere Ranch subdivision. The northwestern lot is approximately two feet higher than the existing lot to the west and would require a new 8.5-foot high wall (6-foot privacy wall on 2.5-foot retaining wall) between both lots. The existing homeowner on the lot to the west is opposed to the builder, Shea Homes, replacing the existing 6-foot high wall on the east side of the property with an 8.5-foot wall. The proposed solution is to extend an existing 10-foot wide landscape tract (located immediately south of the northwestern lot) to the north in between both lots and shorten the width of the northwestern lot. This solution will leave the existing homeowner's eastern wall as-is and separate it 10 feet from the new lot while also protecting the existing homeowner's privacy.
