PROJECT: Plat Revision for Lot 6R1, Block A Huntwick Estates Addition
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Legacy Classic Homes, on behalf of Sharma Himanshu, is requesting approval
of a Plat Revision for Lot 6R1, Block A, Huntwick Estates Addition, City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas being a revision of a 1.002 acre portion of Lot
6, Block A, Huntwick Estates Addition located at 703 Harty Court, Southlake,
Texas. Current Zoning: “SF-1A”, Single Family Residential District. SPIN
Neighborhood #2.
DETAILS: The purpose of this plat revision is to plat the boundaries of the north portion of
Lot 6 which was subdivided without filing of a plat.
The applicant is also requesting a variance to the required sidewalk to receive
relief from installing a minimum 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the street frontage of
the lot as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. Modification or variations of the
Subdivision Ordinance require approval of the City Council. The applicant’s
justification for the request is that the street is a rural cross section with barrow
ditches along each side of the street, no curb and gutter, and there are no other
sidewalks in the neighborhood.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Consider approval of a Plat Revision

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Northern portion of Lot 6, Block A, Huntwick Estates Addition

CURRENT ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District
HISTORY: A final plat for Huntwick Estates was approved on June 20, 1984 and

Lot2, Block A .
A revised final plat was approved on December 18, 1984 and filed on

District zoning designation with the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in
1989.
