DATE: November 19, 2018
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request for preliminary plat approval of B&L Business Park, Section
1, Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas.
FILE: B&L Business Park, Section 1
STAFF REPORT
This preliminary plat was previously approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission in
October, 2016. Construction plans were submitted to the City by the developer but
construction was delayed. Now the developer is ready to proceed, but the 24-month
approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission has lapsed.
Soutex Surveyors & Engineers has requested preliminary plat approval of B&L Business
Park, Section 1. The property is located north of Stivers Drive and south of Cardinal
Drive on Fannett (Hwy 124). The development is a 1.48 acre, Industrial Road that will
serve the entire business park. Sanitary sewer and water will be provided by extension of
City of Beaumont utilities.
In addition, a waiver has been requested to allow a 60’ right-of-way. Given that the width
of the proposed street meets code and that the length of the proposed street is limited,
additional capacity is not anticipated.
Staff recommends approving the waiver, allowing the 60’ right-of-way, and approval of
the request with the following conditions:
1. Provide a street name.
2. Locate the cul-de-sac by bearing and distance from the end of the proposed street.
3. Locate and dimension all existing easements.
4. Correct proposed DD6 easement agreement with recordation number.
5. On the Master Plan, show drainage area delineation and computation of how
much flows toward the proposed DD6 Ditch/Hillebrandt Bayou and the proposed
roadway.
6. Street and public improvements to be designed and constructed to meet City
codes and ordinances.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Exhibits are attached.
