SUBJECT: Consider a request for waiver of sidewalks
FILE: 779-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Mark W. Whiteley & Associates (The Firm), representing Triumph
Church, has applied for a waiver of the sidewalk requirement along
Old Voth Road. The property is located at 10255 Eastex Freeway.
Triumph Church has submitted plans to construct a new building on
the subject property. As part of the approval of those plans, the City
required sidewalks along Old Voth Road. The Firm states that the
existing ditch along Old Voth Road extends to the existing
right-of-way line. If a sidewalk was constructed within the
right-of-way as required, the existing drainage would need to be
modified and that is not feasible at this location. Because of the
nature of the site and its location, The Firm is unable to engineer a
sidewalk in this location that is safe for the public and will not
impede the drainage along Old Voth Road.
