Amendment to the Master Thoroughfare Plan to remove an unnamed collector road from the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The unnamed collector road creates an additional connection from Fish Creek Rd/Dechman Dr to the Interstate 20 WB Frontage Rd.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of the request is to remove an unnamed collector road from the Master Thoroughfare Plan.
ANALYSIS:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) identifies an unnamed collector road which creates an additional connection from Fish Creek Rd./ Dechman Dr. to the Interstate 20 WB Frontage Road. This segment is located along the border of the Dallas County floodway and a vacant lot within PD-20.
The Collector is being addressed due to developer interest in the vacant lot. The roadway is not necessary for the site’s operation and, therefore, is not being considered for construction by the developer. Moreover, the developer is not wishing to dedicate the required 70’ right-of-way necessary to build the roadway.
As required by the Unified Development Code, the developer of the vacant lot has provided a traffic impact analysis (TIA) identifying operations of the site and nearby intersections at buildout of the property. The TIA found that there would be no significant impact to the existing roadways and intersections following construction of the new development without the unnamed Collector.
