Description: 23.1 acre tract to be platted establishing 139 residential lots and 2 drainage/common lots.
ISSUE:
The subject property is located approximately 2,500 feet south of the intersection of Morningside Drive and Ron Road and lies outside city limits, within the ETJ.
The proposed plat will establish 139 residential lots and 2 lots for common/drainage area as the second phase of a 214-acre, 8 phase master plan (PL-18-101). The subdivision will construct a portion of the County Line Road extension that is located on the southern portion of the property.
Drainage:
The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved final project drainage with the construction plans as required by Section 118-51e of the Subdivision Platting Ordinance and in accordance with Chapter 143 Municipal Drainage Utility Systems and the Drainage and Erosion Control and Design Manual.
No portion of this subdivision is located within the 100-year floodplain.
Utilities:
Electric, water and wastewater services will be provided by New Braunfels Utilities (NBU). Utility Easements have been designated on the plat as requested by the utility entities. Utilities will be extended as part of this development pursuant to the approved construction plans.
Transportation:
Regional Transportation Plan
This final plat is in compliance with the City’s Regional Transportation Plan. Right-of-way for the extension of W County Line Road is to be dedicated with the plat and a portion of the roadway will be constructed.
Hike and Bike
This plat is in compliance with the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan. There are no existing or proposed trails internal or adjacent to the subject property per the Hike and Bike Trails Plan.
Sidewalks
Four-foot-wide sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of all internal streets at the time of development by the developer/homebuilder to extend a continuous and connected pedestrian system. Six-foot-wide sidewalks will be constructed on the north side of W County Line Road.
Roadway Impact Fees:
This final plat is located outside city limits and the Roadway Impact Fee Study Area and Roadway Impact Fees do not apply.
Parkland Dedication and Development:
This subdivision is subject to the City’s 2006 Parkland Dedication and Development Ordinance. A private neighborhood park is proposed with Units 3 and 4 that will serve the Morningside Hills Neighborhood. The development is required to pay parkland dedication and development fees for the proposed residential lots prior to plat recordation. Since a private park is proposed, only a portion of the park development fees may be eligible for reimbursement. Eligibility for reimbursement will be determined when amenities are complete. With the development of 139 dwellings within this subdivision, park fees in the amount of $83,400 are required to be paid prior to plat recordation.
