Martin Survey, Abstract No. 1134, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and generally located at the northwest corner of W. Dove Rd. and SH 114, Southlake, Tarrant SPIN County, Texas. Current Zoning: R-PUD – Residential Planned Unit Development. Neighborhood #5. REQUEST DETAILS: G&A Consultants, LLC is requesting approval of a variance to extend the validity of the Preliminary Plat and Plat Revision for Southlake Meadows (formerly Savannah Estates) residential subdivision. The current expiration date for the Preliminary Plat is June 4, 2015, which is two years after the date of approval. The current expiration date for the Plat Revision is December 3, 2014, which is one year after the date of approval. Section 4.01(I)(1) states that a Preliminary Plat shall expire two years from the date of approval. Said expiration date shall be extended one year from the latest date of of filing a Final Plat on a portion of said Preliminary Plat in the County Plat Records. In this case, a Plat Revision is required in place of a Final Plat since a portion of the property was previously platted as the R.P Estes Addition in 1947 prior to annexation by the City of Southlake. The Preliminay Plat was approved June 4, 2013 and a Plat Revision for a portion of the property has not been filed, so the Preliminay Plat has expired. Section 4.01(I)(2) states that a Plat Revision which has not been recorded in the County Plat Records within one year of the date of approval shall expire. The Plat Revision was approved by the City Council on December 3, 2014. Plat Revisions for subdivisions requiring the installation of streets and utilities are typically not recorded until these improvements have been installed and are ready to be accepted by the City. This ensures that street right-of-ways and easements are correctly shown based on as-built conditions and also ensures that all the new lots of record are properly served Case Nos. ZA13-037 and ZA13-074 by streets and utilities. The Plat Revision for the first phase of this development has not been recorded due to continuing construction of the development and it has thus expired. The applicant is requesting to extend the validity of the plats for one year from the City Council approval date of the extension. The applicant has indicated that construction will be completed on Phase I within the next year. If the extensions are approved at the January 19, 2016 City Council meeting, the new expiration date for both plats will be January 19, 2017.
