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. GENERAL INFORMATION/PUBLIC UTILITIES APPLICANT: Fittz & Shipman, Inc.
