TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request to consider the Preliminary Plat of The Meadowlands, Lots 16-21, Block
I and Lots 7-19, Block 6, out of the W. Dyches Survey, AB-17, Beaumont, Texas.
FILE: Preliminary Plat - The Meadowlands
STAFF REPORT
Howell and Davis, Inc. has submitted a new plat for The Meadowlands, developed by Don
Streety Enterprises. This subdivision is located in northwest Beaumont, north of State
Highway 105, west of RFD Road and south and east of a 70' wide and a 60' wide DDA
drainage ditch right-of-way. The lots exceed the minimum size for single family lots in
the residential district.
The Meadowlands began construction in 1984 and the last Section (No. 3) in 1993 and a
minor plat in 1997 brought to date a total of 33.169 acres of land into new residential
development. This particular section under consideration was previously approved for
construction several years ago but was not built. Thus, the earlier preliminary approval
is null and void (2 year time table on preliminary plats).
However, the earlier approval did include approved water, sanitary sewer and drainage
plans,, according to consulting engineer Ronald Davis.
Copies of this proposed plat were transmitted to those parties responsible for advice on
new subdivisions. The plat generally meets the requirements for approval. It conforms
to the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
However, approval should be subject to the following conditions, which will require that
the consulting engineer submit several copies of a revised and corrected plat to the
Planning Division prior to submitting construction plans to the City Engineer:
1) Title - depict lots, blocks, section numbers and acreage of the proposed
subdivision;
2) Correct lot number sequence in Block 6;
3) Show all lot and boundary dimensions and bearings;
4) Show cul-de-sac pavement radius;
5) Indicate the location of proposed street lights as per requirements from the Traffic
Engineering Division;
STAFF SPORT continued
6) Show 10' wide utility easements along the front 10' of all lots as requested by
Entergy;
7) Comply with the City Engineer's request reference the drainage plan computations
and the Fire Marshal's request reference the water line.
NOTE: The consulting engineer has been advised of the need for a revised preliminary
plat and is at the time of this writing preparing a new plat for submission.
Exhibits are attached.
