L@FG, Sec.9 SCU07-004 April 19, 2007 Page 3 of6 and another along McCabe Road Proposed access along State Highway 146 is subject to TxOOT driveway location criteria, traffic volume, and speed limitation along highways and will require TxDOT approval. The home sites are laid out on a special lot line concept. The plan shows building setbacks of 15' along all public streets as compared to 20' building setbacks under the normal zoning criteria outside of Planned Unit Development (PUD). The alley adjacent to the Taylor Bayou will have overlapping easements with 8' wide paving for a hike and bike trail, overlapping with 9' wide sanitary sewer easement between edge of the alley and top bank of the bayou. The maintenance will have to be coordinated and established between the City, the Public Infrastructure Department and the Homeowner's Association. · Topography - this area is relatively flat and stable and should not be an obstacle to this type of development. · Density - staff utIlized the Land Use Plan as a guide. With the designated land use as low density residential and applying a development ratio of 6.0 units per acre to approximately 20 acres, this property may yield approximately 120 dwelling units. The current plan designates four blocks and 108 single-family residential lots, the density equals 5.4 dwelling units/acre. The plan shows the average lot size of 50'x 80' (4,000 sq. ft.), less than a minimum lot size of 4,500 sq. ft. permitted under the nonnal zoning criteria for single-family special lot line. The allowable lot coverage equals 60%, per Section 106-333, Table B, Residential Area Requirements. This development proposes a lot coverage range of 55% - 59%. · Utilities - There are sufficient water distrIbution facilities along frontage road of State Highway 146 and McCabe Road to supply potable water and flfe protection to this proposed project. Currently, sanitary sewer service is not available to this site. As per City's master sewer plan for the area, extension of the Southeast Sanitary Sewer Trunk Main and Lift Station facilities are under construction through a Developer's Agreement and specifications prepared by the developer's engineer. The City has agreed to the construction and installation of an extension of its utility main to said property connnencing at the nearest existing utility main of sufficient size and capacity. Given that this development is within TIRZ 1, the City is participating with the TIRZ on the said project. The developer is responsible for providing all on-site infrastructure or improvements to acconnnodate the subdivision water and sanitary sewer needs. The design and construction of all water and sewer systems shall be in conformance with the City's approved Public Improvement Criteria Manual (PICM).
