Lakes @FG, Sec.9 May 22, 2007 Page 2 of 4 Analvsis: Section 106-659 of the Code of Ordinances establishes the following criteria for review of development projects within a PUD zoning district: . Land Uses - Review of the City's Land Use Plan indicates this area was envisioned as developing as low density residential with a mixed uses. Previous General Plan shows this subject tract (Parcell 0) as land plan to be determined "single-family residential and commercial development". The proposed project is now single-family homes as special or zero lot line. The intended development is in compliance the approved SCUP and General Plan for Lakes at Fairmont Greens. . Streets, Access, & Layout - State Highway 146 and McCabe Road provide access to the proposed site. Along SH 146 traveling north, TxDOT is negotiating with property owners to secure right turn lanes at Wharton Weems and McCabe Road. These lanes should help prevent traffic delays. The proposed layout shows public streets with 50'right-of- way (ROW). One point of access is shown along frontage road of SH 146 and another along McCabe Road. Proposed access along State Highway 146 is subject to approval by TxDOT per driveway location criteria, traffic volume and speed limit along highways. The City's approved Public Improvement Criteria Manual (PICM) requires all street right-of-ways (ROW) to be 60'. In addition, Development Ordinance requires that the design and construction of private streets be identical to the public streets. Public streets and alleys need to be noted on the plat. Under normal zoning criteria outside of Planned Unit Development (PUD), a minimum lot area for single-family special or zero lot line is 4500 s.f. The plat shows typical 50'x 80'(4000 s.f.) lots. Lot width, however, exceeds the minimum 40'. Building setbacks are Front 20', Rear 10', and Side 0, the plat shows 15' front building line with 20' alley in the rear for primary access. A note should be placed on the face of the plat that 20 wide alleys shall be used for vehicular service access to the back ofthe properties and its maintenance is the sole responsibility of the developer/homeowner's association. Utilities - There are sufficient water distribution facilities along frontage road of State Highway 146 and McCabe Road to supply potable water and fire protection to this proposed project. Currently, sanitary sewer is not available to this property. Extension of the Southeast Sanitary Sewer Trunk Main and Lift Station near McCabe Road shall be constructed through a Developer's Agreement and specifications prepared by the developer's engineer. Currently, sanitary sewer trunk main is under construction.
