Mr. Keener noted the staffs recommendation: 1 Verification of location of the NTMWD easement is required. Upon verification, dimensions to the NTMWD easement should be placed on each affected lot 2. Addition of a drainage easement to the east of Block A, Lot 26. 3. Reconfiguration of the lots to eliminate perpendicular lots, except as originally approved in the Concept Plan and original Preliminary Plat. 4. Addition of correct topography overlaid on the Preliminary Plat. 5. Amendment of Country Brooks Estates I to identify correct location of NTMWD easement. 6. Add a note that no fencing will be permitted within the floodplain/drainage easement. 7 Provide dimensions along lot lines to locate floodplain/drainage easement. S. Decline acceptance of Floodplain dedication. 9 Verification of the right-of-way width on FM1378 is a minimum of 90 feet through provision of survey ties. Doyle Cameron, owner/developer, stated that he feels that they can meet all the staff s recommendations. Warren Corwin, Corwin Engineering , discussed the request for the reconfiguration of the lots He stated that he has worked on the lots and reconfigured as requested by the Planning Commission. He stated that his engineering was approved by the City and stated that he addressed all the TRC comments that he received. Ms. Sukup, Director of Planning & Development, stated that the engineering issues have not been addressed and the Planning Department does not accept a final plat submittal until all engineering issues have been addressed. Mr. Corwin explained the procedure for the easement location and what resulted in the discrepancy of the easements. Ms. Sukup stated that a substantial change from the approved Concept Plan would require City Council approval, and that the revised preliminary plat is not consistent with the concept plan or the approved preliminary plat. Commissioner Grimes also stated that there are some differences, however he feels the concept hasn't radically changed. He has no problem with the perpendicular lot shown. Commissioner Caplinger stated that he is not a fan of perpendicular lots, however, in this particular situation it seems appropriate. He stated that there is no significant change and it appears to generally conform. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 26, 2001 PAGE 4 Mr. Hagar, City Attorney's Office, advised that if the Planning & Zoning Commission finds that the changes from the approved Preliminary Plat/Concept Plan are material, that the project should be referred to City Council. In response to a question from the Commission, he stated his opinion that the changes are not material. The Commission will take no action and consider a final plat at a later date. No motion was made — no action was taken. Ms. Sukup stated that the final plat would not be accepted for consideration as a Final Plat until the technical requirements had been met.
