FILE: Preliminary Plat - Ashton Addition
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval, subject to the following: (1) continue the
required sidewalk along the east side of Savannah Trace, and (2) show a V wide non -access
easement along Delaware adjacent to Lots I and 6.
Billy Howell of Fittz & Shipman has prepared these two sections of Ashton Addition for the
West Beaumont Development Company, This represents the last of the Ashton development.
The first section of Ashton was Phase 3 filed in 1993. This phase extended west of Belvedere
and south of Regina. Phase 2, Blocks I and 2, was next in 1995. This phase lies north of
Regina, accessed from Savannah Trace, a collector street. Ashton Woods was sold to and
developed by another builder. This is a 16 lot subdivision accessed from Savannah. It is east
of the Hillebrandt Bayou and south of an east -west DD#6 ditch, It was filed in 1999.
Savannah Trace is a collector street from Regina north to its proposed termination at
Delaware Street. It has a 60'wide right-of-way. The pavement width is 32' where it now
stops at Chatom Trace.
During the process of approving the Preliminary Plat of Ashton Addition, Phase 2, Blocks 1
and 2, the Planning Commission made approval subject to conditions. These involved the
requirement for a sidewalk on one side of Regina and Savannah Trace (Sec. 24-15), a finished
floor elevation of 26' and an agreement to build a bridge across the 75' wide DD #6 ditch.
Also required was for the developer to put into escrow his share of the cost of the bridge for
a period of three years, The City Council on September 13, 1994,,passed Resolution No. 94-
234 which authorized an Interlocal Agreement between Drainage District #6 and the City for
the construction of a bridge on Savannah Trace to provide access between Regina and
Delaware Streets. The estimated total cost at the time was $90,000.
Block 3 of Phase 2 consists of Lots I - 9 fronting on Natchez Trace, a cul-de-sac. The lots
are 90' to 100' wide and most of them extend 125' in depth. This section is below or south
of the DD,# 6 ditch. Phase 1 consists of six large lots of approximately one acre each. These
lots will face the east and west side of Savannah Trace. Phase 1 abuts Delaware, the Oak
Trace Addition and the proposed Silverleaf Addition,
After this subdivision plat was sent to the interested parties, we received several questions and
objections from the Fire Marshal, Water Utilities, City Engineer and the Traffic Engineering
Division, The Consulting Engineer has addressed these concerns and sent staff a revised plat
on February 24, 2000, Water, sanitary sewers and storm water run-off designs will be
constructed as required by the City of Beaumont.
