(Engineering)
3. Add Note 4 to read, "Lots shall be graded to drain towards the street and shall
not drain onto adjacent lots before and after structures are built. (Engineering)
4. Add the necessary side yard building setbacks on each lot equal to the width of
two minimum side yards - 10' - 15', depending upon whether the house is one
or two stories. (Planning)
5. Change the name of the proposed street. There is already an Orchid Lane in
Gladys West.
6. A street light is required at the intersection of the proposed street and Major
Drive (Traffic)
7. Redesign the end of the cul-de-sac to meet the City's right-of-way and
pavement width requirements or to a configuration acceptable to the Fire

Faust Engineering and Surveying, Inc., the applicant, is asking for preliminary plat approval
of a 12 lot, single family residential subdivision. This new subdivision is north of Orchid
Estates and west of Gladys West.
The subdivision will be built on a zero lot line concept. Roof overhang and maintenance
casements will be provided along one side of each lot. The property will be served by a 20 foot
wide gated private street in a 40' wide right-of-way and utility easement.
Faust is asking for variances to the lot depth and cul-de-sac right-of-way radius and pavement
radius, The Subdivision Regulations require a right-of-way radius of 50'and a pavement radius
STAFF REPORT continued
of 33'. Faust states that due to the depth of the subject property, these requirements cannot be
met, The Fire Marshall is against variances to the pavement and right-of-way widths. Staff has
talked with the applicant and a redesign is being done to allow the proper turn -around and a
common area. In addition, variances to the depth requirement for all lots are being asked for.
The average lot depth is 94,35'. Each lot exceeds the minimum area requirements. Again, the
reason for this request is the overall depth of the parent tract.
Subject to the plat being approved Subject to the aforementioned conditions, corrected copies
of the plat will need to be submitted to the Planning Division.
Exhibits are attached.

Preliminary Plat
Dear Sirs,
FAUST Engineering and Surveying, Inc., is presenting a Preliminary Plat of Orchid Estates,
Section Two, for consideration and approval by the Commission. The subdivision located west
of Gladys West Section One and north of Orchid Estates would create 12 lots.
It is the intent of the plat to create a gated subdivision with a 20 foot wide private street to serve
the 12 lots. The utility services will be extended from Major Drive and placed within a 40 foot
private drive and utility easement. The storm sewer system will consist of 2 inlets with the
private street and the outfall will be the east swale along Major Drive.
With this submittal, we are requesting a variance for two (2) items pertaining to this plat:
• Variance for Lot Depth.
Section 30-25 B. 1. of the City of Beaumont Zoning Ordinance, Area and Height
Regulations, requires that the lots have a minimum depth of 100 feet. Due to the depth of the
parent tract, this requirement cannot be met. The average lot depth is 94.35 feet, however,
lots exceed 50 feet in width.
• Variance for Cul-de-sac right of way width.
Section 31-13 (h) of the City of Beaumont Subdivision Ordinance, requires that a Cul-de-sac
right of way have a 50 feet radius and the pavement having a 33 foot radius. Due to the depth
of the parent tract, this requirement cannot be net. The loss of an additional 10 feet on lots 5,
6, and 7 would reduce the area of these lots below the minimum area requirements.
Accompanying this request is 30 prints of the Preliminary Plat, certified Tax Certificate issue by
the Jefferson County Tax Office, and drainage calculations for the subdivision.
If I can be of further services in this matter, please call.
