Kimball Avenue, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “SF-20A” Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #4. DETAILS: The property is generally located at the southeast corner of the intersection of N. Kimball Avenue and Still Water Court. The purpose of this item is to seek approval of a Plat Extension of the validity of the Final Plat for Pemberton, a 6 lot single family residential development on 3.749 acres. The Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, Section 4.01(I)(2) states that a Final Plat which has not been recorded in the County Plat Records within one year of the date of approval shall expire. Final Plats for subdivisions requiring the installation of streets, utilities, etc. are typically not recorded until these improvements have been installed and are ready to be accepted by the City. This ensures that street rights-of-way and easements are correctly shown based on as-built conditions and ensures that all the new lots of record are properly served by streets and utilities. This plat was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on January 20, 2022, and will expire on January 20, 2023, if not recorded in the County. The subdivision is near completion, but it is likely that the plat documents will not be ready for recording prior to the plat expiration. If approved, the plat will remain valid until January 20, 2024.
