STAFF REPORT
Fittz and Shipman, Inc. has requested preliminary plat approval of Pine Island Estates,
Phase 3. The project extends west of the existing Phase 2, along Ponderosa Trail,
intersecting Bond Road, within the Planning Area of the City of Beaumont E.T.J. The
62.703 acre development is a forty-one (41) lot, single family, residential subdivision.
Lots will front on the extension of Ponderosa Trail, Whitebark Trail, Longleaf Trail, or
North Fork Trail. Water will be provided by Meeker Municipal District and sewer will
be individual septic systems.
Although this property is located outside of the flood hazard, due to historical flooding,
minimum required floor slab elevation will be set at elevation 31.00. This requirement
is noted on the plat.
As the subdivision lies within the Planning Area of the E.T.J., Jefferson County
construction specifications shall apply. However the applicant is requesting waivers to
Section 26.03.002 requiring that a cul-de-sac be no more than 800' in length and rural
standards requiring a maximum of 24 lots on a single outlet street. A waiver is also
requested to Section 26.03.002 & 26.06.008 requiring street lights.
The Planning staff recommends approval of the plat with waivers to the cul-de-sac length
and maximum number of lots. Street lights, however, are not required.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Exhibits are attached.
