BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Marylyn Miles
APPLICANT: Four Peaks Development
PROPERTY SITUATION: The property is located at the 2900 block of Burney Lane.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 5, R.D. Price Survey, Abstract No. 1207
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: AG Agricultural District
PROPOSED ZONING: R-PUD Residential Planned Unit Development District
HISTORY: There is no development history on this property.
TRANSPORTATION
Master Thoroughfare Plan
ASSESSMENT:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan does not make any recommendations for
roadways adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed subdivision will have access onto Burney Lane.
Currently, Burney Lane is a 2-lane, undivided residential roadway. The
capacity of the existing roadways is approximately 8,400 vehicle trips per day.
Under this condition, the roadways would be considered to operate under a
level of service ‘D’. This development is notexpected to warrant expansion of
the existing roadway network. No plans for improvement in the near future
have been made for Burney Lane.

**The AM/PM times represent the number of vehicle trips generated during the peak travel times
on Burney Lane.
PATHWAYS MASTER
PLAN: As part of the proposed R-PUD Development regulations, no sidewalks will be
required along the proposed cul-de-sac. The applicant has provided a 10’
sidewalk/equestrian path that can ultimately connect to the Lower Walnut
Grove Trail (Trail Segment # 6 of the Master Pathways Plan), a network of
variable-width natural equestrian/hiking trails. The applicant is proposing to
develop the equestrian trail in lieu of the normally required park fees ($1,500
per lot).
WATER & SEWER: An 8-inch water line exists along the east side of Burney Lane. No sanitary
Case No. Attachment A
ZA07-134 Page 1
sewer lines are located within close proximity to the site. The applicant is
proposing to use private septic systems.
A letter from David Jefferson, Registered Sanitarian and Environmental Health
Manager for the Tarrant County Public Health Department, regarding the
feasibility of on-site septic systems has been provided by the applicant (see
Attachment C).
DRAINAGE COMMENTS: The development will generally drain west toward the Corps of Engineers
property.
TREE PRESERVATION: The site is heavily wooded with typical Cross Timber type vegetation of
numerous Post Oaks and associated understory vegetation. Other trees that
may be existing on the site are Black Hickory, Cedar Elm, Black Jack Oak, Ash
and American Elm which would be closer to the floodplain area of the site.
P&Z ACTION: January 17, 2008; Approved (5-2) subject to Plat Review Summary No. 3,
dated January 11, 2008; and subject to the same stipulations set in zoning
case ZA07-133.

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON 05/12/08 AND WE OFFER
THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF PLAT APPROVAL UNLESS
SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION,
PLEASE CONTACT DENNIS KILLOUGH AT (817) 748-8069.
1. This plat does not comply with its underlying zoning (“AG” Agricultural District) and is subject to the
approval of its associated zoning change and development plan request. All lots and development of
this property must comply with the underlying zoning as approved.
2. Refer to comments provided for case ZA07-133.
3. The following changes are needed with regard to easements:
a. Where adjacent property is unplatted or platted showing a 5' U.E., provide a 5' U.E. along the
property line; if adjacent property is platted and shows no easement, provide a 10' U.E. along
Although the subdivision ordinance requires minimum 5 to 10
the interior of the property line.
foot wide easements along the perimeter of the subdivision, staff recommends that easements
only be provided where needed.
b. Provide easements for water, sewer and/or drainage in compliance with approved construction
plans.
INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS
* A fully corrected plan that includes all associated support plans/documents and conditions of approval is
required before any ordinance or zoning verification letter publication or before acceptance of any other
associated plans for review. Plans and documents must be reviewed and stamped “approved” by the
Planning Department.
* All development must comply with the City’s Drainage Ordinance No. 605 and detain all post
development run-off.
* Although there are a few lot lines which are not perpendicular or radial, they appear to meet the intent of this
requirement and have been addressed in the applicant’s zoning regulations letter.
* Prior to approval of a final plat, the applicant must submit percolation tests and septic system feasibility analysis
for the proposed lots. Should this identify potential problems, the number of lots may be required to be reduced
in order to provide sufficient area for a functional septic system or other innovative system as allowed by the
Tarrant County Health Department.
* A Developers Agreement is required prior to construction of any public infrastructure. 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.
