Item 13 - ZA11-026 PR Kimball Crossing S T A F F R E P O R T July 15, 2011 CASE NO: ZA11-026 PROJECT: Plat Revision for Lot 1, Block 1, Kimball Crossing EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Greenway Investment Company is requesting approval of a Plat Revision for Lot 1, Block 1, Kimball Crossing, a 2.895-acre lot platted to support the development of a one-story 20,150 square foot strip retail/restaurant building located at 2175 & 2185 E. Southlake Blvd (Case ZA11-025). The plat revises the existing Lot 2, Block 1, Ethan Allen Addition (1.767 acres) and also includes 1.128 acres of a single unplatted tract of land. SPIN 8. REQUEST DETAILS: In addition to enlarging the lot to accommodate the proposed retail development, the proposed Plat Revision abandons two previously-dedicated common access easements. One is a for a right-in/right-out driveway along FM 1709 that was never approved by TxDOT and thus not necessary. The other is a cross access drive that connected this site to the Ethan Allen Site to the west at to the south of both buildings. The applicant has proposed to eliminate the cross-access at this location, thus abandoning the easement. The Plat Revision also creates a flag lot for the remaining unplatted tract to the south. That lot will have a 12-foot wide, 322-foot long “panhandle” extending to their Southlake Blvd frontage. The construction of a shared commercial driveway within an existing variable-width common access easement, however, guarantees adequate access to the property for future development. Section 8.01(K) of Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, prohibits residential panhandle lots. Non-residential panhandle lots are still permitted.
