Home My WebLink AboutPreliminary Plat - Brownstone ParkW-11- DATE: February 20, 2002 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider the Preliminary Plat of Brownstone Park FILE: Preliminary Plat - Brownstone Park The Planning Manager recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to the installation of one additional street light, correction of Note #2 to include information on "Flood Zone B" and approval of the variance to the maximum 800 foot cul-de-sac length. A revised plat will be required with copies for distribution. Stephen Brown wishes to develop this 26 lot subdivision for single family residential uses. This subdivision was reviewed by the Planning Commission in January. At that time, variances to side and rear yard setbacks for some lots were being asked for. The Planning Commission denied the plat as presented. A new plat has been submitted with two lots in the center of the subdivision removed so that there are eight lots with a 70 foot width instead of ten narrower lots. In addition, variances to some side and rear yard setbacks are not being requested. However, a variance to the maximum 800 foot cul-de-sac length is still being requested. The cul-de-sac is approximately 850 feet in length, Fittz & Shipman INC January 25, 2002 Mr. Steve Richardson Planning Department City of Beaumont P. O.

No, 01100 We have previously submitted blueprints and support information for a Preliminary Plat for the proposed Brownstone Park Subdivision located on Lucas Drive just south of Folsom Road. It is our desire to submit the attached Preliminary Plat as a revision to the one submitted January 15. Revision has been made to eliminate two (2) lots in the center of the subdivision so that 4 lots of 70 foot width can be made rather than the 55 foot lots originally submitted. This elimination of two lots will allow homes to be built similar to those in surrounding neighborhoods without the problems associated with the smaller lots. The total number of lots within the development will now be 26 lots. Please contact me regarding questions or comments. Sincerely, FIT7Z & SHIPMAN, INC. by: onald R.
