HomeMy WebLinkAboutPreliminary Plat - Bell Pointe SubdivisionFP—K I Ism DATE: November 20, 2000 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider the revised Preliminary Plat of Bell Pointe Subdivision, Lots I and 2. FILE: Preliminary Plat - Bell Pointe Subdivision STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of the subdivision. He also recommends approval of a variance which will allow a temporary concrete turnaround at the end of Bell Pointe Street. This two lot subdivision is a 9.94 acre tract located just south of the Dowlen Green apartment complex and north of the Dowlen Plaza office complex. Lot I will be developed by the Beaumont Telco Federal Credit Union. This tract received a zone change to GC-MD-2 and a specific use permit for a credit union by City Council action on October 5, 1999. Lot 2 contains 7.15 acres and will be platted into single family lots by others in the future. Carroll and Blackman has requested that the developer be granted a variance which will allow a temporary concrete 25'radius turnaround at the end of Bell Pointe Street since Lot 2 will be sold and replatted into individual residential lots by another entity. Exhibits are attached. LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ORDINANCE PURPOSES Proposed Lot 1 contains 2.2925 acres and Lot 2 contains 7.1540 acres, totaling 9.9406 acres.

Box 3827 Steven Butz, RPLS Beaumont, Texas 77704 Attn: Mr. Stephen Richardson, AICP Planning Director Re: BELL POINTE Subdivision Dear Mr. Richardson: Transmitted herewith in regard to the above referenced are the following: 1) 30 prints of the preliminary plat for Bell Pointe 2) $ 300.00 application fee (check no. 5587) 3) Reduced copy (8Y2" X 11) of the preliminary plat for your staff report This preliminary plat is submitted in follow up to our meeting on October 4'h regarding this proposed plan which is in accordance with the zoning change and specific use permit approved by the Commission in the fall of 1999. The owner, Beaumont Telco Federal Credit Union, is under contract with an architectural firm based in Atlanta to begin construction on their new branch office early this upcoming year. Our purpose for subdividing the property at this time, is to comply with building permit requirements for undeveloped lands and to construct a public street for access to the new branch site as well as the residual 7 acre tract to the west. The median cut for this street was completed in August of 1999 to allow for safer access to and from the site during construction of the new street and associated underground utilities. Our plans are to have the new street in place prior to the commencement of construction on the new branch facility rather than simultaneously to allow smoother and safer access to and from the site with a minimal disruption to traffic on Dowlen Road. I anticipate have a firmed up site plan in the next few weeks and will 1360 7" Street have plans and specification forthe new street, Bell Pointe, ready for submittal , '�-iumont, Texas 77702 the first part of November. The owner requests that a variance be granted Phone: 409-8333363 FAX: 409-833-0317 E-mail: cbieng@aot coin Mr. Stephen Richardson, AICP City Of Beaumont Planning Director 13 October 2000 Page 2 of 2 waiving the requirement to construct a permanent cul-de-sac at the dead end of the proposed street until turnouts are completed on the new Credit Union site and the residual land is sold and developed. As a part of the new street construction, we propose to construct a temporary turnaround (concrete with a 25 foot radius) at the end of pavement as shown. The layout shown for the residual land is a conceptual design based on the best use of the property from a marketing perspective. Beaumont Telco (owner) will not be associated with the future development of this property other than to restrict sale of the property to residential use only per agreement with the homeowners associations of Windsor Park and Windwood Place. The proposed storm sewer system will outfall to the existing system located on Dowlen Road. 1 will complete my drainage computations in the next day or so and forward our drainage plan to you this next week for review. Utility services to the new Telco branch (water, sewer, gas, etc.) will tie in to the existing facilities fronting the site on Dowlen Road. A Dowlen Road address is requested for Lot 9 while Lot 2 would carry a single Bell Point address until such time as this lot may be partitioned for additional residences. We trust that this plat will meet with the Planning Commission's favorable approval at the upcoming meeting scheduled for November 7t" 2000 and, as always, should you or your staff have any questions, certainly feel free to call.

KDA Financial is currently developing the site plan for the Credit Union which should be available the first week in November. Please note that our plans to tie in to the existing 36 Inch (36) stub on Dowlen Road were made in consideration of existing conflicts with the 12" water main and 8" sanitary sewer line fronting the property and the associated logistics of making a tie in to the 60" storm sewer on Dowlen (partially under pavement). The cost of a huge junction structure, possible sawing/replacement of pavement, along with the certain disruption to southbound traffic were primary considerations. We trust that this plan will meet with the favorable approval and certainly if you or engineering have any questions or comments, please feel free to call.
