EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Property Situation
The property is located at 587 E. Dove Road; just east of the intersection of E. Dove
Road and Ridgecrest Drive.
Development Details
Mr. Brooks is requesting approval of a zoning chang
-
a new principal residence on property located at 587. E. Dove Road. In order to obtain a
building permit, the existing tract must be rezoned and platted. The applicant is
-
Future Land Use designation for the property is Low Density Residential and the lot size
is slightly over the one acre minimum required in the SF-1A zoning district. The applicant
has also submitted an application for a one lot plat showing, which can be
administratively approved if the zoning change and concept plan are approved by City
Council.
There is an existing ingress egress easement along the eastern portion of the property
that provides access to the adjacent properties to the south and southeast. In the same
The properties to the south and southeast are not currently connected to the city sewer
rd
line in Dove Road. At the March 3 Planning and Zoning meeting, the property owner to
the south expressed concern that the paved driveway shown on the concept plan would
make it more expensive to connect to city sewer in the future. The applicant has revised
the concept plan to show the existing gravel driveway in the area of the utility easement.
There have been no other changes to the concept plan since the P&Z meeting.
QUESTIONS / CONCERNS
So there will not be any pavement?
Yes, with an ingress/egress easement for future access to sewer for southern
Î
property owners. Still working with plan for complete paved driveway possibilities.
This case is listed as a rezoning; is the garage separate?
No, it is attached and the home will be in the same general location as the
Î
previous structure.
Will this easement become a City street?
No, it is a private drive. Besides, there is not enough room to
Î
width for a City right of way.
Is there an easement on the west side?
No
Î
Will you be required to build a sidewalk along Dove?
Not as of now, however, I was asked to dedicate property to the City.
Î
Are you requesting any variances to your building?
No, in fact, we are exceeding City building standards.
Î
What will you be using the garage for?
We have personal vehicles and water sports vehicles. Also, the ceiling will be 14
Î
feet high so we could essentially use it for family entertainment. The garage will
have a total of 4 doors; it has two ends to it.
GENERAL COMMENTS / CONCERNS
Why the City is requiring an 8 inch sewer line in order to service 3 residences when an 8
inch line can service hundreds. The cost difference is very significant.
Sidewalk connection from Estes Park to existing sidewalk on other side of Brazos
Electric.
The appearance of Brazos property.
