Description: 59 residential lots on 14.345 acres
Background:
Weltner Farms is a residential planned development. The “WFPD” zoning and subdivision master plan were approved in 2017, along with final plats for Units 1 and 2. A new engineering firm recently submitted revisions to the master plan to reconfigure the street and lot layout. Revisions were determined to be minor and were administratively approved. This revised plat for Unit 2 conforms with the most recently approved master plan.
The original final plats for Weltner Farms were processed before the City required construction plans be approved prior to final plat submittal. Construction plans submitted by the previous engineering firm were reviewed but not approved. Revised plans will be submitted by Westwood and must be approved before the plat is recorded.
A revised Detail Plan will need to be submitted for administrative approval to reflect the reconfigured street and lot layout.
Drainage:
The City’s Engineering Division reviewed preliminary project drainage as required by Section 118-51.e of the Platting Ordinance and in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 143 Municipal Drainage Utility Systems, and the Drainage and Erosion Control and Design Manual. Final drainage review will be completed with review of the construction plans prior to final plat recordation.
No portion of this unit is located within the 1% chance annual flood zone.
Open space is defined in Section 118-2 of the Platting Ordinance and does not include drainage easements. Drainage easements shall be placed in separate common area lots. Open Space lots on this plat will be revised where applicable to be common area lots, drainage lots, or a common area lot with delineated drainage easement.
Utilities:
Electric, water and wastewater services will be provided by New Braunfels Utilities. Utilities will be extended with this subdivision and approval of construction plans is required prior to plat recordation.
Transportation:
Regional Transportation Plan:
This plat is in compliance with the City’s Regional Transportation Plan. Weltner Road is designated as a 60-foot wide Minor Collector and appropriate right-of-way dedication is indicated on this plat.
Hike and Bike:
This plat is in compliance with the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan. No right-of-way dedication or trail construction is required as there are no proposed trails within the subdivision.
Sidewalks:
Four-foot wide sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of all internal streets adjacent to the curb at the time of development by the homebuilder. The developer will construct sidewalks along Weltner Road and all non-buildable lots at the time of street construction.
Airport Hazard Zoning:
This plat lies within the Approach Zones of the Airport Hazard Overlay Zoning. Residential density is limited to a maximum of three dwelling units per acre in Approach 2 and six dwelling units per acre in Approach 3. Overall density calculations for the Weltner Farms Subdivision are in compliance with these maximum allowances.
Roadway Impact Fees:
The property is hereby assessed Roadway Impact Fees for Service Area 6 with the approval of this plat. Fees will be collected at the time of building permit as indicated in the then current fee schedule.
Parkland Dedication and Development:
The subdivision is subject to the City’s Parkland Dedication and Development Ordinance (2006). A 1.10-acre amenity center is indicated in Unit 1. Parkland and amenities, sufficient to meet the ordinance requirements, must be in place or in-lieu fees paid prior to recording any final plats. Total in-lieu fees of $35,400 ($600 per residential unit) will be collected at recordation. The Parks and Recreation Department will review completed recreational amenities to determine whether fees are eligible for reimbursement.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval subject to the following Platting Ordinance requirements prior to recordation:
1. Title plat as a Final Plat.
2. The Countryville vacating plat must be recorded prior to recording any unit of Weltner Farms.
3. Unit 1 must be recorded prior to Unit 2 for access.
4. Add to the Sidewalk Note that sidewalks along Weltner will be constructed within the right-of-way one foot off the property line.
5. Remove contour lines from final document.
6. Provide exact dimensions for easement and ROW callouts, rather than rounded numbers.
7. Indicate all easements and ROW dedication with dashed lines.
8. Revise Open Space lots to drainage lots or common space lots, and encompass detention within a drainage lot or drainage easement as applicable.
9. Submit a revised Detail Plan for administrative approval to reflect the new street and lot configuration.
10. Note: any changes resulting from the construction plans may necessitate approval of a revised final plat.
