La Porte Golf Community SCU#04-O 12 July 15, 2004 Page 5 of7 e e . Construction Schedule -Given recent delays in the Hettig project, the original start date of January 2004 has been delayed considerably. With a late 2004 start date, the project should reach build out in 2011-2012. Recommendation: Based on items discussed under the "Analysis" section, Staff recommends Planning and Zoning Commission's approval with the following conditions for adoption of a Special Conditional Use Permit, and direct staff to coordinate a Developer's Agreement with the applicant. The conditions are listed below: Land Use: 1. Allow single-family lots with 70' along the Golf Course and 60' to 65' width lots in other areas. 2. Maintain the redesign of the single-family lot layout so that lots do not front on 8th Street. 3. Allow commercial development near McCabe & SH 146 (approximately 5 acres thereby qualifying for a PUD). A further refinement of the commercial activity will be determined when the Development Agreement is created. 4. A 20 acres tract in center of development remains PUD without land use designation. But, underlying land use from the Comprehensive Plan indicates single-family residential. Streets: 1. Remove existing chain link fencing on border of golf course property. 2. Avoid using 8th Street during construction phases of devleopment 3. Provide emergency access to the golf course from McCabe Road area (alley and gate) to allow ambulance into this area of the course. 4. Center turn lanes on Wharton Weems should be considered. 5. Traffic signal on Wharton Weems and S.H. 146 is needed at the time the subdivision is developed. The Developer should coordinate with TXDOT. Traffic impact study shall be initiated to look at the need for widening and additional lanes at Wharton Weems with crossover consideration in conjunction with improvements on S.H. 146 6. 8th Street not to go through. Design a dead-end with a temporary cul-de-sac added until it is determined if additional ROW is needed for park access. 7. A possible redesign of Section 5 may be needed to allow secondary access to S.H. 146 and roads may have temporary cul- de-sacs to plan for future tie-ins between Section 5 and Section 3.
