| GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION: |
| The property is currently located at 12835 IH-10 E, Schertz, Texas otherwise generally located approximately 2,300 feet west of the intersection of FM 1518 and IH-10. |
| ACCESS AND CIRCULATION: |
| The property will have access and frontage to IH-10. |
| 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 Hime 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), which will be permitted through Bexar County. |
| 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 will be serviced by the City of Schertz through a 12-inch water line that runs along IH-10.
Sewer: The applicant has provided a waiver request to the requirement to extend public sanitary sewer to serve the proposed preliminary plat of the Hime Subdivision. The Engineering Department has reviewed the waiver request and recommends approval of the waiver given the closest possible sewer connection is 3,300 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 Bexar 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. TxDOT reviewed the proposed preliminary plat and provided a no objection letter. |
| 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.
