HISTORY:
• October 3, 2006: City Council approved PD-14B and associated Concept Plan (Case Number Z060902).
• August 06, 2018: Planning and Zoning Commission approved (Case P180802) Preliminary Plat: Crescent Heights Addition.
PLAT FEATURES:
The subdivision layout and lot configuration are consistent with the Concept Plan approved with PD-14B and recently approved preliminary plat. The final plat is attached as Exhibit B. The lots meet the density and dimensional requirements contained in PD-14B and summarized below:
• Minimum 40 ft. lot width. (Set prior to adoption of Appendix W)
• Minimum area for certain units. (1,300 sf to 1,600 sf)
• Minimum front yard setbacks for certain units (16’ to 20’)
As reflected on the plat, internal streets are dedicated as public rights-of-way; however secondary access to the subdivision from Corn Valley Rd and Pioneer Pkwy will be served by private street (Twelve Oaks Blvd), and the HOA shall be responsible for the maintenance of their half of the private street.
The existing approach from Twelve Oaks Blvd will be demolished and a new approach (Michelle Drive) will be constructed further to the south.
Subdivision wall plans and landscape plans will be required and must be approved by staff prior to filing of the plat. Street marker fees shall be paid prior to filing of the plat.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) recommends approval subject to completion of utility and water line easement abandonment and the documents referenced on the plat prior to filing and incorporate any necessary street name changes.
