RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of the Resolution.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is proposing to plat an existing 5.00 acre tract within the City of McKinney’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) as two lots. The City has the authority to regulate platting within the ETJ in accordance with Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code and Chapter 142 of the City of McKinney Code of Ordinances.
• Provision of adequate infrastructure, including roadway, water, sewer, and drainage systems, is a critical component of subdivision regulations and is highly dependent on land use. Determinations regarding these systems cannot be made without consideration of land use.
• Chapter 212 does not authorize the City to regulate land use within the ETJ; however, it does authorize the City to enter into a Development Agreement with a property owner regarding the provision of infrastructure and land use, among other standards.
• The applicant has indicated to Staff the desire to not study or construct public improvements associated with the property and required by Chapter 142 of the Code of Ordinances. This agreement would relieve or defer the public improvements that exceed the amount that is roughly proportional to the proposed development on the subject property, including:
o The requirement to construct a twenty-four foot (24’) wide concrete curb and gutter pavement section of County Road 324, including the associated street lighting, sidewalks, underground drainage systems, and other appurtenances; and
o The requirement to construct on-site and, if necessary off-site, underground storm drainage facilities to capture storm water drainage upon and across the Property; and
o The requirement to construct a minimum 12-inch diameter water line along County Road 324 including approximately three (3) miles of offsite 12-inch diameter water lines and appurtenances capable of supplying adequate domestic and fire flow to and through the Property from the nearest City of McKinney water line; and
o The requirement to construct a minimum 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer line through the Property together with approximately one (1) mile of offsite 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer lines capable of serving the property.
• The City conditionally agrees to grant variances to the above requirements provided that the applicant agrees to certain additional requirements. This agreement establishes these requirements, including:
o The use of the property shall be limited to one single family detached home on each of the two lots.
o The use of the property shall be limited to uses allowed in the RED-1 Residential Estate District as identified in Chapter 146 of the Code of Ordinances, except for uses which traditionally accommodate the public and/or create high traffic volumes, such exceptions being identified in the agreement.
o The proposed plat shall dedicate rights-of-way and easements for future public infrastructure complying with Sections 142 of the Code of Ordinances.
• If, in the future, the property is further subdivided or replatted, or the use of the property is altered from the use identified in the agreement, then the relief or deferrals allowed by the agreement shall terminate.
