STAFF REPORT
The Planning staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. Provide written evidence of ownership.
2. Provide a street name.
3. Locate the cul-de-sac by bearing and distance from the end of the proposed street.
4. Locate and dimension all existing easements.
5. Correct proposed DD6 easement arrow.
6. 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.
7. Street and public improvements to be designed and constructed to meet City
codes and ordinances.
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 and
allowing the 60’ right-of-way.
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.
Soutex also requests the Commission waive the required 70’ right-of-way for industrial
streets as only a 60’ wide parcel is owned by the developer.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Exhibits are attached.
