Item 7 - ZA20-0050 - 2350 Crawford CtCase No. ZA20-0050 S T A F F R E P O R T October 16, 2020 CASE NO: ZA20-0050 PROJECT: Plat Revision for Lot 2R1, R.P. Estes Subdivision EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On behalf of Daniel Hernandez, CBG Surveying Texas, LLC is requesting approval of a Plat Revision for Lot 2R1, R. P. Estes Subdivision on property described as Lot 2C1, R.P. Estes Subdivision, being a portion of Lot 2, R. P. Estes Subdivision, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 2350 Crawford Ct., Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: “AG” Agricultural District. SPIN Neighborhood #5. DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to plat a portion of Lot 2, R. P. Estes Subdivision as a lot of record. The R. P. Estes Subdivision was platted under County jurisdiction in 1947 and originally contained 8 large lots of approximately 10 acres each and one smaller lot of approximately 3.5 acres. Prior to the annexation of this area into the City of Southlake, Lot 2 was subdivided into several tracts by metes and bounds without filing a revised plat. Now that these properties are under City jurisdiction and since they are part of a plat of record, a Plat Revision must be processed, approved and recorded with the County prior to issuance of a building permit for new construction. The existing metes and bounds tract is not being further subdivided. VARIANCES REQUESTED: A variance is requested to allow the lot to not front on a street as is required by Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, Sections 8.01 and 5.04. Access to the property is via an existing 50’ ingress/egress easement. ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing 2) Consider approval of a Plat Revision ATTACHMENTS: (A) Background Information (B) Vicinity Map (C) Plat Review Summary No. 2, dated October 7, 2020 (D) Surrounding Property Owners Map and Responses Presentation Plat Revision and Sewer Plan STAFF CONTACT: Ken Baker (817) 748-8067 Dennis Killough (817) 748-8072 Case No. Attachment A ZA20-0050 Page 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION OWNER: Daniel Hernandez APPLICANT: CBG Surveying Texas, LLC PROPERTY SITUATION: 2350 Crawford Ct. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2C1, R.P. Estes Subdivision, being a portion of Lot 2, R. P. Estes Subdivision LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District. HISTORY: - A plat for R. P. Estes subdivision was filed with Tarrant County in 1947 prior to annexation of the property by the City of Southlake. - Lot 2, R.P. Estes subdivision appears to have been subdivided by metes and bounds beginning in 1977 prior to being annexed by the City. - The property was annexed into the City in 1987 and given the “AG” Agricultural District zoning designation. - A 1984 Manufactured Home that existed on the property was removed in 2019 or 2020 (Source: TAD, aerial and site photos). - The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the following variances and Special Exception Use on June 11, 2020: Variance to Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 9.5.b requiring a front yard of not less than 40’, Section 9.5.c requiring a side yard of not less than 25’ and Section 9.5.e requiring a maximum lot coverage for all buildings and structures to not exceed 10% of the lot area and a Special Exception Use per Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 44.12(6) for a reduction in the required setback from property lines for a residential accessory building subject to the plans presented at the meeting, which showed a front yard setback of 35’, a side yard setback of 15’ for the house and garage and a lot coverage of approximately 12.75%. SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan The 2035 future land use designation for the site is “Low Density Residential”. Low Density Residenital: The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family residential development that promotes the openness and rural character of Southlake. Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single- family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre, which excludes acreage in all rights-of-way, easements, and lots designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi- Public categories. The Low Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character of the City of Southlake. Case No. Attachment A ZA20-0050 Page 2 Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows W. Dove Rd. as a two-lane undivided arterial with 88’ of right of way with the provision to improve the roadway to a four-lane divided arterial when traffic counts on W. Dove Rd. warrant the change. Crawford Ct. is a private access located within a 50’ ingress/egress easement. Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan The Master Pathways Plan shows a future sidewalk (<8’) along the north side of W. Dove Rd. and a future ≥8’ multi-use trail along the south side of W. Dove Rd. TREE PRESERVATION: The property is subject to the requirements in Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 585-E. A Tree Conservation Plan meeting the preservation requirements in the ordinance is required. DRAINAGE: Drainage is generally sheet flow from southeast to northwest across the property. UTILITIES: An 8” City sewer line exists in Permanent Sanitary Sewer Easements extending from W. Dove Rd. All tracts on Crawford Ct. are served by private water lines with meters connected to a 12” water line in W. Dove. Rd. CITIZEN INPUT/ BOARD REVIEW: A SPIN meeting was not held for the Plat Revision. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: October 8, 2020; A request to table the item to the October 22, 2020 meeting was approved (7-0). The applicant submitted a request to extend the 30-day approval period per Chapter 212 of the Local Government Code, granting the Planning and Zoning Commission an additional 30 days from the date of approval of the extension to act upon the plat application. STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Plat Review Summary No. 2, dated October 7, 2020. The variance criteria for Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 are below: Section 9.01 Modifications and Variations: A. Compliance: Where the Council finds that compliance with these regulations would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary difficulties because of exceptional and unique conditions of access, location, shape, size, drainage, or other physical features of the site, the requirements may be modified to mitigate the hardship, provided that the public interest is protected and the development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent of this ordinance. 1. This section shall not be interpreted to permit the development of land which is inherently unsuitable for the use proposed. 2. Any modification will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.
