Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION:
To meet the requirements of the Subdivision Platting Ordinance and other adopted codes, the applicant’s proposed final plat must comply with the conditions noted below. Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s proposed final plat with the following Conditions of Approval:
1. Revise plat note #7 to indicate a portion of the property is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area Zone A and add “according to the adopted flood maps of the City of New Braunfels” after “(100-yr. flood)”. (NBCO 118-(30)(j))
2. Revise plat note #12 to state: “This subdivision is subject to the City of New Braunfels 2018 Park Land Dedication and Development Ordinance. At such time that residential dwelling units are constructed within the subdivision, the owners shall contact the City of New Braunfels and comply with the ordinance for each dwelling unit.” (NBCO 118-24(15)
3. Revise plat note #10 to indicate there is an existing 10-foot wide hike and bike trail adjacent to W. Klein Road and 6-foot wide sidewalks will be constructed adjacent to FM 1044 and the W. Zipp Road right-of-way dedication by the owner/builder at the time of development. (NBCO 118-30(h)

7. Conduct a study, using HEC or similar modeling that is approved by the City Engineer, to insure the proposed development would not increase the elevation of the one percent annual chance base flood. (NBCO 118-51(f)(3)d.2.)
8. On Sheet 1 of the plat, revise “Sheet 1 of 2” to read “Sheet 1 of 4”. (NBC) 118-24(15)
