Staff Report Final Plat for Sam T's Subdivision Reuested Bv: Debra R Taylor, Manager for W.G.S. (L.L.C.) October 15,1998 Reuested For: A 1.1478 Acre Tract being part of Outlot 410, La Porte Outlots, as per map or plat thereof recorded in Volume 1, Pg. 53 of the Map Records of Harris County, Texas and also being located partly in the Mcholas Clopper Survey, A 198, and partly in the Enoch Brinson League, A 5, City of La Porte, Harris County, Texas. Location: 1612 Underwood Road Present Zoning: General Commercial (G.C.) Background: The Applicant is platting a 1.1478 Acre tract for the purpose of developing a proposed commercial business. The plat includes an existing 10' Sanitary Sewer Easement along the western boundary and a new 10' X 50' Houston Lighting & Power Easement. The property will be identified as One Restricted Reserve of the Sam T's Subdivision. Analysis: The zoning of the property is appropriate for a commercial development. Section 5.02 of the Development Ordinance addresses the need for sidewalks, where required by the Comprehensive Plan or by the Commission. The City's Comprehensive Plan does not call for sidewalks along Underwood Road; however, sidewalks have been required for recent developments near Spencer Highway. The Commission may wish to decide if sidewalks would be desired for the areas further north along Underwood Road. Should the Commission require a sidewalk, the plat shall include a statement that a sidewalk installation, by the owner, is required. Detention is required for the development. The plat shall include a statement the detention area shall be owned and maintained by the property owner. Water and sewer utilities are available to serve this site. Conclusion: Staff finds the requested plat satisfies applicable provisions of State Law and City Ordinance. Staff recommends Approval of Sam T's Subdivision.
