| GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION: |
| The property is currently located at 7765 FM 482, Schertz, Texas, otherwise generally located 3,100 feet northeast of the intersection of FM 2252 and FM 482. |
| ACCESS AND CIRCULATION: |
| The property will have access and frontage to FM 482. |
| 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 preliminary plat of the MMD Subdivision is serviced by Green Valley SUD for water, CPS, and Spectrum. The applicant has requested a waiver to not connect to the public sanitary sewer system and instead use the already existing on-site sewer facility (OSSF) serving the property. |
| 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: The subdivision is serviced by the Green Valley SUD through a 6-inch water line that runs along FM 482
Sewer: The applicant has provided a waiver request to the requirement to extend public sanitary sewer to serve the proposed preliminary plat of the MMD Subdivision. The Engineering Department has reviewed the waiver request and recommends approval of the waiver given the closest possible sewer connection is approximately 1,800 feet away. 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 utilize an on-site sewer facility (OSSF), permitted by Comal County.
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.
Sidewalks, Hike and Bike Trails: No sidewalks or hike and bike trails are required to be constructed by the applicant at this time. Sidewalks, hike and bike trails will be reviewed with the development of the property.
Road Improvements: No road improvements will be required to be completed by the applicant. A 30-foot Right-of-Way dedication to FM 482 is made per the plat. TxDOT has reviewed the plat application and has provided no objections. |
| STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: |
The preliminary plat is consistent with the applicable requirements, ordinances, and regulations for this property. It has been reviewed with no objections by the Engineering, Fire, and Planning Departments. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat as proposed.
