Description: 11.603 acre tract to be platted establishing 71 residential lots, 4 drainage lots and a park/HOA lot.
ISSUE:
The subject property is located approximately 2,000 feet southeast of the intersection of Alves Lane and Fisher Way and lies outside city limits, within the ETJ.
The proposed plat will establish 71 residential lots and 5 lots for common/drainage area as the second phase of a 60-acre, 4 phase master plan.
Drainage:
The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved final project drainage with the construction plans as required by Section 118-51e 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 subdivision is located within the 100-year floodplain.
Utilities:
Electric, water and wastewater services will be provided by New Braunfels Utilities (NBU). Utility Easements have been designated on the plat as requested by the utility entities. Utilities will be extended as part of this development pursuant to the approved construction plans.
Transportation:
Regional Transportation Plan
This final plat is in compliance with the City’s Regional Transportation Plan as there are no existing or proposed thoroughfares within or adjacent to the subject property.
Hike and Bike
This plat is in compliance with the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan with construction of a section of trail along the southwestern side of Block 2 and a portion of Jennifer Way.
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 extend a continuous and connected pedestrian system.
Roadway Impact Fees:
This final plat is located outside city limits and the Roadway Impact Fee Study Area and Roadway Impact Fees do not apply.
Parkland Dedication and Development:
This subdivision is subject to the City’s 2006 Parkland Dedication and Development Ordinance. A private neighborhood park is proposed with this unit that will serve the Spring Valley Neighborhood. The development is required to pay parkland dedication and development fees for the proposed residential lots prior to plat recordation. Since a private park is proposed, only a portion of the park development fees may be eligible for reimbursement. Eligibility for reimbursement will be determined when amenities are complete. With the development of 71 dwellings within this subdivision, park fees in the amount of $42,600 are required to be paid prior to plat recordation.
