Description: 5 commercial lots on 5.97 acres
Background:
The subject property is located on the west side of IH-35 North, just north of the city limits. This plat proposes five commercial lots on approximately 6 acres. The property is within the Conical and Transition Zones of the Airport Overlay for height limitations; however, at this distance from the airport, and subject elevation, the height limits should not interfere with the proposed warehousing use.
Drainage:
The City’s Public Works Department reviewed preliminary project drainage with the Letter of Certification process as required by Section 118-51.e 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 unit is located within the 1% annual chance flood zone.
Utilities:
Electric service is being provided by New Braunfels Utilities. Crystal Clear Special Utility District is the water provider and wastewater service will be provided by private on-site septic systems. No extension of utilities is required with this subdivision.
Transportation:
Regional Transportation Plan:
The project is not proposing any street construction within the commercial site. The plat is in compliance with the City’s Regional Transportation Plan. Stolte Road is classified as a 60-foot wide non-residential local street and the plat indicates sufficient right-of-way exists. No additional right-of-way dedication is required along IH-35. An area at the intersection of IH-35 and Stolte Road is being reserved for a future corner clip at the request of TxDOT.
Hike and Bike:
The plat is in compliance with the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan and no right-of-way dedication or trail construction is required as there are no proposed trails within or adjacent to the subdivision.
Sidewalks:
A waiver from the sidewalk requirement along Stolte Road was approved by City Council on June 29, 2020. City Council also granted approval for the developer to escrow funds for the cost of sidewalk construction along IH-35 with the City, for use when sidewalks are installed with future improvements to the IH-35 frontage road. Plat notes must be updated to reflect these waivers.
Roadway Impact Fees:
The subdivision is outside the city limits and the Roadway Impact Fee study area. Roadway Impact Fees are not applicable.
Parkland Dedication and Development:
This subdivision is subject to the 2018 Parkland Dedication and Development Ordinance, but non-residential uses are exempt from park fees. The appropriate plat note is included.
