• Staff Report January 21, 1999 Final Plat for JCF Subdivision Requested BX: Mr. Joe Camp, President of Joe Camp, Inc., property owner. Requested For: A 6.7744 Acre Tract known as all of Block 124 and 117, the residue of Block 123, a 16 foot alley in Block 124, a portion of South 9a' Street between Blocks 123 and 124, the north one-half of West F Street between South 8a` Street and State Highway 146, a portion of West E Street between South 8a' Street and State Highway 146 and a 16 ft. alley in Block 117, Town of La Porte, Hams County, Texas. Location: 621 Highway 146 South. Present Zoning: General Commercial (G.C.) Background: The owner, Joe Camp Inc., has a building permit for the renovation and addition to three existing buildings currently known as 621 Highway 146 South. The same permit also covers the construction of two new buildings, which will be known as 501 and 521 Highway 146 South. As part of the proposed development, Ordinance #98-2228 was passed by the La Porte City Council on March 30, 1998. Exhibit A shows the specific street and alley rights-of--way closed by this Ordinance. The passage of this recent Ordinance along with the previous closings by Ordinance #826 has created an opportunity for the owner to replat these tracts into a single lot of record. Analysis: The applicant has submitted the final plat of these properties to establish a single lot of record to facilitate future expansions. Once recorded, the new lot will be known as JCF Subdivision. ---" The plat showing the configuration of the lot with all easements in place is attached and identified as Exhibit B. Section 5.02 of the Development Ordinance addresses the need for sidewalks, where required by the Comprehensive Plan or by the Commission. The Comprehensive Plan does not require sidewalk plans along State Highway 146. The Commission may choose to require sidewalks. In keeping with the standard in this area, Staff recommends no sidewalk requirements for this final plat.
