TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request for preliminary plat approval of Ridgecrest Subdivision, Unit 5
FILE: Preliminary Plat — Ridgecrest Subdivision, Unit 5
STAFF REPORT
Jeremy Mitchell of Soutex Surveyors has requested preliminary plat approval of
lWgecrest Subdivision, Unit 5. The project is located within the 5 -mile ETJ of the City
of Beaumont and near the intersection of FM 365 and LaBelle Road at the north end of
Ridgecrest Drive. Mr. Mitchell states that this is the last phase of the entire subdivision
development.
The design guidelines of the Subdivision regulations call certain block and road lengths
in an effort to provide a typical, uniform design layout. However, the regulations also
allow for variance from these requirements. Given the large, rural lots proposed, along
with some unique characteristics of the property (specifically LaBelle Road to the west of
the property, Bayou Din bordering the north and a Drainage District #6 canal to the east),
variances to certain design elements are being requested.
The Planning staff recommends approval with variances to:
1. Cul-de-sac street length requirements.
2. Maximum of twenty-four (24) residences on a single outlet.
3. Block length greater than 1200' requirement.
4. Streetlight and sidewalk requirements due to the rural type development.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Exhibits are attached.

Re: Preliminary Plat of Ridgecrest Unit V, Lots 1-13, 90.03 acres of land out of the William Carr
Survey, A-102, ETJ City of Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas
Ridgecrest Unit V falls within the ETJ of Beaumont and is the last phase of the entire
subdivision development. The property is located near Labelle Road and is accessed by FM 365.
Water is served by West Jefferson County Municipal Water District. The property falls within the
Hamshire-Fannett School District. Drainage for Unit V is to be directed to Jefferson County
Drainage District No. 6 ditch No. 406 that outfalls to Bayou Din.
We are seeking approval of the Preliminary Plat with variances to:
1. Cul-de-sac street length requirements.
2. Block length greater than 1200' requirement.
3. Streetlight and sidewalk requirements due to the rural type development.
4. Maximum of 24 residences on a single outlet.
These variances are the same that where requested and passed by the Planning Commission on
September 21, 2015 for Unit IV.
For the Firm,
