regulations would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary
difficulties because of exceptional and unique conditions of access,

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.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
No comments based on submitted information.
============= The following should be informational comments only ====================
* All plats filed must have an original signed and stamped Tax Certificate submitted with it from
each taxing unit with jurisdiction of the real property, indicating that no delinquent taxes are owed
and that taxes for the current year have been paid. After September 1st, a certificate showing
that the taxes for that year are paid, but that the taxes for the upcoming year have yet to be
calculated is required. (House Bills 1563 & 3101). A copy of this information may be obtained
from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor/Collector’s Office located at 100 E. Weatherford St. in Ft.
Worth (across from the old red courthouse). There is a service charge of $10 per account for
this certificate. For more information contact the Assessor/Collector’s office at 817-212-6847.*
We recommend this plat not be filed until the construction plans (if any) have been
substantially approved. This will ensure adequate easements and finish floor elevations.
* Please submit a revised pdf "check print" prior to submitting the blackline mylar and paper copy
with original signatures.
* In addition to the City of Southlake impact fees, please be aware that through the wholesale
water customer contract with the City of Fort Worth, all new water connections are required to
pay the City of Fort Worth impact fee. The City of Fort Worth impact fee assessment is based
on the final plat recordation date and building permit issuance. The applicant is encouraged to
review the City of Fort Worth's assessment and collection of Impact Fees Guide to determine
the fee amount.
* For Tarrant County filing, original signatures and seals will be required on one blackline mylar
and one blackline paper copy prior to filing the plat. The mylar and paper copies will not be
accepted if any erasures or original ink, other than signatures or seals, appear on the plat.
* A Developers Agreement is required prior to construction of any public infrastructure, if any. The
Developer's Agreement for this addition should consider streets, drainage, park dedication
requirements and fees, off-site sewer extensions, off-site drainage and utility easements and
impact fees.
* All development must comply with the Drainage Ordinance No. 605 and the Erosion and
Sediment Control Ordinance No. 946, as amended.
