TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Consider the Preliminary Plat of Gladys West Addition, Section 4; 2.7 acres out of the
H. Williams Survey, Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas.
FILE: Preliminary Plat -Gladys West, Section 4
STAFF REPORT
The Nichols Company has submitted Section 4 of the Gladys " West single family subdivision
being developed east of Major and north of the future Delaware Street.
They are proposing 13 new lots fronting along Buttercup Drive, Section 4 contains a total
of 2.7281 acres, including the street right-o,f-way.
Copies of this plat were sent to all interested parties. The following conditions for approval
were submitted:
I A 10',wride general utility easement is required along the front of the lots along each
side of Buttercup (Entergy);
2. The required permanent or temporary cul-de-sac at the end of Buttercup must be
shown on the plat and properly marked with 3-OM-4P end -of -roadway markers
(Traffic Engineer and City Engineer);
3. Correct size of storm sewer pipe between Lots 31 and 32 so that size of said pipe is
the same on both the Preliminary Plat and the Drainage Plan and provide City
Engineer with correct drainage calculations and computations (City Engineer).
The consulting engineer has requested a waiver of the temporary cul-de-sac requirement. His
letter states that a cul-de-sac is not necessary for a "turn -around".
When the Planning Commission determines that there is a reasonable expectation that a dead-
end street will be extended within 2 years, construction of a temporary cul-de-sac may be
approved. The Planning Commission may waive temporary cul-de-sac requirements for dead-
end streets when the street is less than 200 feet in length.
The Traffic Engineer and City Engineer have requested that the required permanent or
temporary cul-de-sac at the end of Buttercup be shown on the plat, The Traffic Engineer
feels that because of the length of the street and the fact that the street curves sharply about
190 feet short of its dead-end, a cul-de-sac is required for safety. The City Engineer also
voices concerns relative to the ability of large vehicles to turn around.
The City Engineer has pointed out that the 18" storm sewer shown on the Preliminary Plat
shown on the drainage plan as 24". John Holm of Fittz and Shipman said the sewer will
probably be 24". In addition, some of the drainage calculations and computations need to be
changed. This information has been relayed to Mr. Holm.
No other comments have been received as of the date of the writing of this report.
