Description: A 13.22-acre final plat establishing 35 lots for duplex residential use.
The Maldonado Subdivision is a single-family and duplex residential development located at the south-west corner of W. Zipp Road and FM 735 on the south-west side of the City. The entire development is located outside of the City and within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), with the exception of a small portion of the property which fronts FM 725, which is zoned for commercial uses. The approved master plan for the Maldonado Subdivision consists of a total of 5 units/phases. This is the fourth unit within the overall subdivision being requested for final plat approval.
ISSUE:
This final plat is approximately 13.22-acres and proposes the establishment of 35 residential lots, dedication of rights-of-way, and common area lot for the purpose of reserving open-space. The approved Master Plan for the entire subdivision consists of approximately 76.15-acres and a total of 171 residential lots (258 dwelling units proposed).
Drainage:
The Public Works Department reviewed and approved final project drainage with the construction plans as required by Section 118-51(e) of the Platting Ordinance and in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 143 Municipal Drainage Utility Systems and the Drainage and Erosion Control Design Manual.

Utilities:
Maldonado is in the Green Valley Special Utility District (GVSUD) for water; wastewater utilities will be provided by the Zipp Road Special Utility District through agreement with Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (GBRA), electricity will be provided by Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC). Utility easements have been designated on the plat as requested by the utility entities. Utilities will be extended as part of this plat in accordance with the approved construction plans.
Transportation Plan:
The proposed plat is in compliance with the City’s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The approved master plan specifies that right-of-way for an east-west minor collector be dedicated within the southern portion of Unit 4 to provide future connectivity to FM 725. Pursuant to the City’s RTP and the approved master plan, this final plat is proposing the dedication of Leslie Landing, which is a 60-foot Minor Collector that will provide for future connection to the properties to the east and west.
Additional public streets will also be dedicated and constructed within the subdivision and are proposed to have 50-foot wide right-of-way.
Hike and Bike:
This proposed plat is in compliance with the City’s Hike and Bike Trails Plan. No trails are specified within the vicinity of this plat.
Sidewalks
Four (4) foot wide sidewalks will be constructed by the developer per city standards at the time of street construction, adjacent to the curb along common area lots. Four (4) foot wide sidewalks will be constructed by the home builder per city standards adjacent to the curb at the time of building construction along all other street frontages.
Roadway Impact Fees:
This proposed plat is located outside of the City limits and not within a service area. Therefore, no roadway impact fees apply.
