Background:
The subject property consists of approximately 12 acres of property in between the Vista Hills and Fields of Morningside Neighborhoods. The preliminary plat proposes 52 residential lots and 1 drainage lot that will allow for single-family development of the property.

The City’s Public Works Department reviewed project drainage with the approved letter of certification 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 (DECDM).
No portion of the property is located within the 1% annual chance floodplain.
Utilities:
All lots in this subdivision will be provided water, sewer and electric services by New Braunfels Utilities. Utility easement have been designated on the plat as requested.

The proposed plat complies with the Regional Transportation Plan.

The remaining streets within the subdivision are proposed to be built to local street standards with a 50-foot wide right of way.
Hike and Bike Trail Plan:
There are no trails identified on the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan within or adjacent to the subject site. Therefore, the proposed replat is in compliance with the plan.

This subdivision is subject to Roadway Impact Fees and is hereby assessed the fees for Service Area 5 with the approval of this plat. The Impact Fees will be collected at the time of building permit as indicated in the then current fee schedule for the intended use.
