TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for preliminary plat approval of Pointe= Park
FILE: Preliminary Plat - Pointe= Park
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions and to the requested setback variances:
The property owner shall dedicate an exclusive water line
easement on Central Pointe= Drive.
Private sewer lines shall be shown on all three private streets.
Show the water line on Pointe= Park 2' north of the south
right-of-way line.
Install 3 OM-49 End of Roadway markers at the dead-end of
Pointe= Park Drive.
Delete the parallel parking along Pointe= Park Drive. Pointe=
Park Drive is to be built to a 28' pavement width (back of curb
to back of curb).
Delete 30' ROW designation on East Pointe= Drive, Central
Pointe= Drive and West Pointe= Drive.
Fittz & Shipman, Inc. has applied for preliminary plat approval of a
9.073 acre, 54 lot duplex and townhouse development. The
property is located west of Pointe= Parkway and will be accessed by
Pointe= Park Drive, a public street, and East Pointe=, Central Pointe=
and West Pointe= Drives which are private. The property is zoned
RM-H (Residential Multiple Family-Highest Density) District. There
will be a total of 54 units. All improvements will be built to city
standards.
The Transportation Manager is requiring that the parallel parking
along Pointe= Park Drive be deleted. The City Engineer is requiring
that the 30' ROW designation be deleted on the three private streets.
This deletion is being required since these private streets will not be
maintained by the City of Beaumont.
The applicant is requesting variances to the required 25' building
setback from Pointe= Park Drive for those structures that front on the
private streets and from the boundaries of the property. The Zoning
Ordinance states that cluster housing must meet these setbacks. The
applicant states that the developer is planning on constructing upscale
townhouses with special attention given to amenities and quality of
construction which will justify the narrower setbacks.
Exhibits are attached.
