Lots 1R1 – 1R4), Block B, Ravenaux Village Addition
REQUEST:
On behalf of Wayne Lee & Associates, Cheatham & Associates is requesting approval
of a variance to plat expiration for the plat revision that was approved by City Council
on June 5, 2007. The plat approved with five (5) lots for office development on
approximately 2.30 acres. One lot is proposed to be eliminated upon filing of the plat
reducing it to a total of four (4) lots.
Section 4.01(I) of Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 states that a Plat Revision which
has not been recorded in the County Plat Records within one (1) year of the date of
approval shall expire and that City Council may extend the expiration date of an
approved plat but not to exceed one (1) year. The plat was approved by City
Council on June 5, 2007 and has expired. The applicant is requesting a variance to
the plat expiration and is requesting to extend the validity of the plat for one year
from the date of approval due to delays in beginning construction.

PATHWAYS
MASTER PLAN:
The Pathways Master Plan recommends an 8-foot multi-use trail along the
west side of N. White Chapel Boulevard. The trail is not shown on the site
plan.
WATER & SEWER:
A 12-inch water line exists along the west side of N. White Chapel Boulevard.
An 8-inch water line exists along the north side of Countryside Court. An 9-
inch sanitary sewer line exists along the south side of Countryside Court and
along the west side of N. White Chapel Boulevard.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS:
Drainage is to be carried to the south into an existing natural channel along the
south boundary of the property. This area is also to be designed to handle the
required detention.
TREE PRESERVATION:
The applicant has made a very good attempt to preserve a majority of the
existing trees within the proposed development. Most of the trees that are
proposed to be preserved within the drainage easement area along the south
and east sides of the development are Pecan, American Elm and Eastern Red
Cedar and are relatively young, As these trees mature they will provide a very
aesthetic park-like view to the development. Most all of the trees that are
proposed to be removed are Eastern Red Cedars.
