Home My WebLink AboutPreliminary Plat - Bellechase West, Section One, Phases One and TwoDATE: July 6,1998 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT": Consider the Preliminary Plat of Bellechase West, Section One, Phases One and Two FILE: Preliminary Plat - Bellechase West, Section One, Phases One and Two STAFF REPORT The Little Development Company (W. T. "Bill" Little) will develop a 10 acre tract in west Beaumont north of Delaware as a single family residential subdivision consisting of 19 individual lots, Phase One will include Lots 1 and 2. Block I and Lots 1-7, Block 2. Phase Two will consist of Lots 3-7, Block I and Lots 8-12, Block 2. Phase One will be developed first. All of the north -south Northchase Avenue will be dedicated in the final plat for Phase One when it is submitted. Oakmont Drive and Northchase Avenue will be residential streets. However, a portion of Oakmont and all of Northchase will be developed with a 5 5' right-of-way and a 3 2' pavement instead of the usual 50" right-of-way and a 27pavement. This will enable an extension of a street north and then west into an 80 acre tract presently owned by Amoco Production Company, The vacant 80 acres lies just west of the subject 10 acre tract. Future subdivision development on the 8,0 acres will, by necessity, include a new collector street (60' right-of- way and 37pavement) connecting to Delaware Street at some point. The City and Mr. Little have agreed to the 55'right-of-way and 32'pavement for Northchase Avenue. The developer requests a waiver or variance on the cul-de-sac required for a dead-end street for Northchase in Phase One because the length of pavement in this phase is only 160 feet in length. The developer is bound by a written agreement to complete the street in its entirety within three years. Staff has a copy of said agreement. The proposed street and lot layout meets and exceeds the requirements of the subdivision ordinance and is in compliance with our Zoning Ordinance and with the City's Comprehensive Plan regarding residential development in "Neighborhood Growth Units". Staff received no objections to the subdivision from those interested parties contacted. Exhibits are attached. 10" arroll & lac man, nc.

As this run of pavement will be less than 200 feet, the developer requests a waiver of requirement for a temporary cul-de-sac at the end of Phase One. Both Phase One and Two will include extension of all utilities andl improvements constructed to City standards. As a part of Phase One, the street right-of-way for the future extension of Northchase will be dedicated to the, City per an existing agreement dated 3/23/98 between the developer and Oakmont Development Corporation.

The attached drainage plan was previously submitted to the City Engineer as a part of our construction plans for the 48" storm sewer.
