DATE: June 18, 2001
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a replat of Lot 1, Block 12, Wescalder Fig Acres Addition into Lots IA,
IB, IC and ID. The zoning district is RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling).
FILE: Replat of Lot 1, Block 12, Wescalder Fig Acres
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of the replat. The replat is in compliance with
the Subdivision Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance and with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
This replat reconfiguring one large 4.4 acre lot into four lots requires a public hearing by the
Planning Commission because the property is zoned RS (Residential Single Family
Dwelling) District, is a recorded subdivision (Wescalder Fig Acres) and the replat increases
the number of platted lots. Otherwise, this is a minor plat meeting the subdivision and
zoning regulations, and normally would receive administrative approval.
No new street rights -of -way or new easements are being dedicated. Lots IA (0.40 acres),
1B (0.38 acres) and 1C (0.38 acres) front on Wescalder Road, while Lot ID (3.23 acres)
fronts for 512.25 feet along Baker Road. Lot I D backs up to a DD#6 drainage easement and
ditch. The Brookside Place Addition - a previous replat of part of Block 12; abuts the subject
tract on the south.
Lots IA, IB and IC have a depth of 183.75 feet and are from 90 feet to 94.7 feet in width.
The minimum lot size in the RS District is 50' x 100'.
Wescalder Fig Acres was platted in 1925 as a large rural subdivision out of the A. Savery
League and is "...lying about four miles west of the Town of Beaumont... "and is south of
the Beaumont -Houston Highway." (Dedication on plat.) This area was annexed into the
City in 1957.
Prints of the replat were distributed to the usual recipients. No objections were received by
staff as of May 10, 2001,
Exhibits are attached.
