ITEM 4
Planning & Zoning Commission Memorandum Development Services Memo No. 23-031
Date:
07/19/2023
To:
Planning and Zoning Commission
Thru:
Kevin Mayo, Planning Administrator
David de la Torre, Planning Manager
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 Planning Commission recommend approval of Preliminary Plat PLT21-0033 Magnolia, per Planning staff recommendation.
Background Data:
Magnolia was approved by City Council on March 24, 2022, for a 93-lot single-family subdivision on approximately 36 acres and included a preliminary plat
A tract has increased at the northwest side of the property to create a larger buffer from existing single-family subdivision
The plat creates the lots and tracts, establishes the necessary easements, and dedicates the required rights-of-way
Purpose:
A new preliminary plat is necessary in order to solve 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 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 shortening the width of the northwestern lot. This 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.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
Planning staff recommends Planning and Zoning Commission move to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, subject to the following condition:
Approval by the City Engineer and Planning Administrator with regard to the details of all submittals required by code or condition.
