ITEM 1.4. (Blanco Park Replat) Hold a public hearing and consider a request by Byrn & Associates, on behalf of Ed Longcope, for approval of a replat of 7.53 acres, more or less, being Lot 1-A of Blanco Park Subdivision, establishing Lots 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, and 1-E, Blanco Park Subdivision, City of San Marcos, Hays County, Texas and associated Subdivision Improvement Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this plat is to replat one existing lot and establish 4 separate lots located inside the San Marcos City Limits. The replat consists of Lot 1-A, Blanco Park Subdivision, an amendment to the Blanco Park Subdivision, recorded in 2009. Lots 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D are zoned General Commercial (“GC”) and Lot 1-E is zoned Multifamily (“MF-18”). Lot 1-E is noted on the plat as a “Non-Buildable Lot” due to its location entirely within the floodway.
A wastewater line extension is required to serve Lot 1-C. The applicant has chosen to defer the construction of these public improvements until after the plat is approved. Per Section 1.6.6.3 of the Land Development Code (LDC), the property owner will enter into a subdivision improvement agreement when public improvements are deferred until after final plat approval.
This agreement includes, but is not limited to, provisions to complete the improvements, covenants to warranty the improvements, and provisions for securing the obligations of the agreement. Section 1.6.6.3 also states that the Planning and Zoning Commission is the governing body to approve the agreement. It has been reviewed for consistency with Section 1.6.6.3 and meets the criteria.
Staff has reviewed the request and finds the proposed replat and associated Subdivision Improvement Agreement meets all criteria of 1.6.6.3 and 1.6.8.2 of the LDC and recommends approval of the replat.
