The current submittal is a Preliminary Plat for Section 9 of this development. · The subject property is located at the southeast of State Highway 146 and McCabe Road. · The applicant is proposing 108 single-family residential zero or special lot line for this section. Corresponding density meets densities allowed by the strict compliance of Chapter 106 (Zoning). · The plan shows two points of entrance/exit, however, one is questionable and requires approval by TxDOT · The water is available along easterly right-of-way line of SH146. Sanitary sewer is not readily available to the property but is under construction. · A new lift station is proposed near the southeast end of the property adjacent to Taylor Bayou. Extension of the southeast sanitary sewer construction of trunk main and lift station facilities shall be constructed through a Developer's Agreement in accordance with the City's sanitary sewer master plan for the Southeast of La Porte. The proposed development will be connected to the new trunk main going north for sanitary sewer. · The layout for drainage and detention is in accordance with the Taylor Bayou Watershed Plan and through conveyance is directly outfalling into the Taylor Bayou. · Landscape, utilities and soundwall reserves are located along SH 146. · Previously, the City disapproved the similar layout plan for the subject property submitted by John Hettig. Recommendation: Staff reviewed the preliminary plat and found it to be partially in accordance with the development ordinance of the City. Should the Commission wish to approve the Preliminary Plat in its present format, staff suggests the following considerations prior to the Final Plat: · As per approved SCUP, land use "single-family special or zero lot line" must be approved by the City. · For emergency purposes, relocate 2nd point of entry to the subdivision along McCabe Road not SH146. · Building setbacks of 15' needs to be approved in lieu of20'. . Lot area is less than the required 4500' for the zero lot line. . Utility schematics are under review by the City. · Require approval of Harris County for the drainage easement. · 20' private alley and sanitary sewer easement, IS' building setback including 10' waterline easement will be difficult to maintain public services. · Building design standards need to be submitted to the City for review. · Protective covenants and restrictions for this subdivision need to be submitted for the City Attorney's review and approval. · Parkland fees in compliance with the Development Ordinance 1444-G dated 4-10-2006 shall be applicable. . r', l!n"'~4A A "'!,rtd"T,ttr .
