Description: 499 residential lots, park, drainage/detention and open space areas on 131.58 acres
Background:
The subject property is located at the southern terminus of Legend Pond and is adjacent to and southeast of the Legend Pond Subdivision on the southern edge of the city limits. The property is within the city and is zoned ZH-A Zero Lot Line Home District.
The developer is proposing a total of 499 single-family residential lots with 46 acres of park/open/drainage areas, for an overall residential lot density of 3.92 units per acre. The subdivision is planned to be developed in 8 separate units. Street names must be approved for 16 new streets with the proposed master plan.
Drainage:
The City’s Engineering Division of the Public Works Department reviewed the preliminary drainage plan report and plans as required by Section 118-51e of the Platting Ordinance in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 143 Municipal Drainage Utility Systems, and the Drainage and Erosion Control and Design Manual. Additional drainage review will occur with preliminary plats and final drainage review will be completed with review of the construction plans prior to submission of any final plat.
Central and northern portions of the subject property are within the 100-year floodplain and have been labeled as required on the proposed master plan.
Utilities:
Water services will be provided by Green Valley Special Utility District. Wastewater services will be provided by Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. Electric service will be provided by Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative. Utility Easements have been provided as requested by the utility providers. Utilities will be extended as part of this plat and construction plans must be approved prior to final plat submission.
Transportation:
Regional Transportation Plan:
The plat is in compliance with the Regional Transportation Plan. The extension of W. Zipp Road and additional segments of proposed 60-foot wide Minor Collectors are identified on the subject property. A portion of the right-of-way for the extension of W. Zipp Road was dedicated with the Legend Pond Subdivision. Additional right-of-way dedication, roadway construction and/or mitigation measures will be reviewed for compliance with code requirements with the platting of the subject property.
Hike and Bike:
There are no trails proposed within or adjacent to the subdivision and no dedication or construction is required.
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 create a continuous and connected pedestrian system. Six-foot wide sidewalks will be installed along the HOA park frontage on Sunshine Ln at the time of subdivision construction.
Roadway Impact Fees:
Roadway impact fees for Service Area 5 will be assessed with approval of final plats. Impact fees are collected at time of building permit as indicated in the then current fee schedule.
Parkland Dedication and Development:
This subdivision is subject to the Parkland Dedication and Development Ordinance. A private neighborhood park is proposed to be developed with Unit 1of the subdivision. The Parks and Recreation Department will review any proposed recreational amenities at the time of final plat and will determine whether fees are eligible for reimbursement.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval as it will meet all requirements of the Platting Ordinance with the following:
1. Approved street names must be submitted with any subsequent plat applications.
2. Correct the spelling of “time” on note #13.
3. Correct the spelling of “envisioned” on note #14.
4. Revise preliminary drainage and utility exhibit to clearly show the reconstruction of Sunshine Ln to 24 feet.
5. TIA Report, Recommendation #4 - All-way stop shall be based on traffic volumes and not on sight distance. The road network shall be designed with all adequate sight distance requirements. A roundabout may be the appropriate at this location given the network. Remove “all way stop control” from Pg. 42 of TIA Report narrative. Revise report accordingly.
