FILE: Preliminary Replat of Lots 6-12 and a partial abandonment of West Commerce
Parkway into Lot 6A, Washington Boulevard Park.
STAFF REPORT
The Planning staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Proposed relocation of new storm sewer conveyance and curb/grate inlets parallel to
the northeast property line and easement. (City Engineering)
2. The runoff from drainage area B1 (roof run-off) should be directed to the 18” storm
sewer which runs along the southeast side of the building or some other underground
culvert. (Drainage District #6)
3. The runoff from the concrete parts of B2 and D2 should be directed to surface inlets
and into new underground culverts. (Drainage District #6)
4. The proposed swale shown along the southeast and southwest part of the property is
being directed to a downspout that is almost completely deteriorated. The swale is
acceptable but the downspout will have to be redone with a culvert that enters the
concrete lining according to our standard detail. It may be that the culverts from item
2 above can utilize this new culvert. (Drainage District #6)
5. Drainage from the area around the angle point in the east property line is shown to
run over the earthen slope then onto the concrete slope which is unacceptable. A
standard downspout must be installed. (Drainage District #6)
6. Include the following notes on the Final Replat:
a. The City of Beaumont will not be responsible for any damage to the structure
of the water main should it ever rupture or due to any repairs to the water main by
City crews. (Water Department)
b. The City of Beaumont shall not be responsible for the repair and replacement
of any paving or other structures within the Easement Property. (Water
Department)
Ben Tristan, representing Fittz & Shipman, Inc., has requested a preliminary replat of
Lots 6-12 and a partial abandonment of West Commerce Parkway into Lot 6A. The

to accommodate a new commercial distribution center. A portion of West Commerce
Parkway, a utility easement and a drainage easement are in the process of being
abandoned to allow this replat. A new cul-de-sac, utility easements and drainage
easement are included in the replat.
All lots exceed the minimum lot area, width and depth requirements for industrial
