Item 4GCity of Southlake Department of Planning & Development Services S T A F F R E P O R T August 15, 2007 ZA06-121 CASE NO: Plat Extension for Johnson Place Estates PROJECT: REQUEST: Jones & Boyd, Inc. is requesting approval of a variance to the Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, Section 4.01(I) (Plat Expiration), as amended, and is requesting that the validity of Case No. ZA 06-121, Final Plat for Johnson Place Estates, be extended for an additional one year from the date of the City Council’s action on this item. Section 4.01(I) 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. The Final Plat was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on September 7, 2006. Final plats for subdivisions requiring the installation of streets and utilities are typically not recorded until these improvements have been installed and are ready to be accepted by the City. This insures that street right-of-ways and easements are correctly shown based on as- built conditions and also insures that all the new lots of record are properly served by streets and utilities. The final plat for this development has not been recorded due to construction delays and will not be ready to file prior to the expiration.

The outfall of the two ponds will be along the roadway of Randol Mill Avenue. The western portion of the site drains also drains to three (3) proposed detention ponds – one at the southwest corner of the site near the park which will outfall directly into the creek, and one on either side of the entrance to the subdivision along Johnson Road, both of which will outfall to the existing culverts at Johnson Road.
