Description: 2.329 acre tract of land for Oak Run Parkway roadway construction.
The subject tract is located within Sector Plan 2 of the Veramendi project in the Extra-territorial Jurisdictional limits of the City of New Braunfels and in Comal County. The plat is for the recordation of 2.329 acres for right-of-way use for the extension of Oak Run Parkway. The plat is located adjacent to Veramendi Precinct 14 - Unit 2 on the north, unplatted future roadway to the east, Veramendi Precinct 12 A to the south, and Borchers Blvd./Veramendi 1A-1 to the west.
ISSUE:
The final plat is for the dedication of right-of-way for Oak Run Parkway. The site is part of the approved Veramendi Sector Plan 2 approved on February 25, 2019. The Public Improvements Permit for Veramendi Oak Run Parkway Phase 3 is currently under review.
Drainage:
The Public Improvements Permit for Veramendi Oak Run Parkway Phase 3 is currently under review. No drainage easements or lots are being proposed with this final plat. No portion of this property is located within the 1% annual chance flood zone.
Utilities:
Electric, water and wastewater services will be provided by New Braunfels Utilities in compliance with the Development Agreement. Telecommunications will be provided by AT&T or Spectrum. Utilities are proposed to be constructed within the right-of-way and are being extended with the final plat.
Transportation:
The plat is dedicating right-of-way for the extension of Oak Run Parkway. The proposed right-of-way varies from 86 to 98 feet. According to the DDCD, Oak Run Parkway is classified as a “Collector” with a minimum ROW width between 74-79 feet depending on the area.
Sidewalks and Accessways:
The Infrastructure & Services Supporting Framework Plan identifies Oak Run Parkway extension as a Major Accessway, which is a multi-use accessway. Sector Plan 2 indicates the multi-use accessway must provide a 6-foot-wide sidewalk and a 5-foot-wide bike lane on both sides of the roadways. The developer will construct the sidewalks and the bike lanes on both the north and south sides of Oak Run Parkway at time of street construction.
Transportation Improvement Fees:
Transportation Improvement Fees will not be owed for the development of right-of-way.
Parkland Dedication and Development:
The proposed final plat does not include a park since right-of-way and street development is not subject to the neighborhood park requirements.
Tree Protection:
A preliminary tree survey has been accepted with Sector Plan 2. There are no potential high value trees located within the proposed street right-of-way.
FISCAL IMPACT:
