Requested For: 33.16 Acre Tract, being all of Outlots 34, 35, 46, 47, 54 and SS and Part of Outlots 36, 45, 66 and 67, La Porte, Volume 59, Page 313, H.C.D.R, situated in the Richard Pearsall Survey, Abstract 625, Hams County, Texas Present Zoning: High Density Residential (R-3) Requested Use: 140 Lot Residential Subdivision Background: The proposed Spencer Landing is a major subdivision that will be located on the north side of Spencer Highway. (See Exhibit A) This general plan was considered by the Commission during their March 20, 1997 meeting. At that time it was known as "Spencer Lake" and was to have 112 lots. Based on the concerns raised in that meeting, the developer has amended his general plan and is now calling the project "Spencer Landing". Staff's report from the March 20, 1997 meeting is attached for reference. (See Exhibit B) At or prior to Final Plat approval, the payment of money in lieu of parkland will need to be made. Based on the new 140 lot layout, the payment would be $24,500.00. This figure is based on a cost of $175.00 per lot. In accordance with this regulation, the submitted General Plan does not designate any parkland. A water and sewer extension, at the expense of the property owner to the west of the proposed subdivision, was required for the development of the church site. A pro-rata share of the extension cost will need to be paid to the City so reimbursement can be made to that property owner. The specific amount will be addressed in the review and approval of the sections. Staff has reviewed the Spencer Landing General Plan and found it complies with the requirements of the Development Ordinance. A copy of the General Plan Checklist follows this report. Some issues remain; therefore, staff recommends that the General Plan be "Conditionally Approved" at this time. Conditional Approval by the Commission requires the submission of an amended General Plan and/or additional documentation as specified by the Commission. As part of the Conditional Approval, the Commission should require the developer's compliance with the list of items shown prior to the submission of an amended General Plan. The following items should be addressed:
