Subject: Ordinance No. 483-R, an Amendment to the City of Southlake
Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended
Action
Requested: Conduct a public hearing and consider approval of the proposed
Ordinance No. 483-R.
Background
Information: The purpose of this item is to consider amending Article III, Section
3.03.D. Final Plat Submittal Requirements, of the Subdivision Ordinance
No. 483, as amended, by requiring a note indicating the party responsible
for maintenance of park land, open space drainage easement, and other
dedications. The purpose of this amendment is to fulfill a recommendation
of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, an element of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, which under recommendation PROS 1.2,
recommended the City “Explore opportunities to file a legal document of
record with Denton/ Tarrant County that would show up on a title search
that would better inform the homeowner of their maintenance obligations
(similar to an easement).” The City proposes having a note applied to all
recorded subdivision plats, where applicable.
ARTICLE III, SECTION 3.03.D., will be amended by adding:
41. Provide a note stating the responsible party for maintenance
of park land, open space, drainage easement, and other
dedications where applicable.

Board Review: A Public Hearing will be held by both P&Z and City Council
