Sanger Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The property will be served by Bolivar Water, CoServ
Electric and will have onsite

been reviewed by the City of Sanger Staff. All City of Sanger Planning and Engineering comments as
well as Denton County Plat checklists have been provided to

Meadows Addition. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat at their
October 14, 2019 meeting with a condition that all comments will be addressed before City Council
meeting. Staff recommends approval of the Phase 1 Preliminary Plat with variances from the
following requirements mentioned in the Subdivision Ordinance as follows:

than 500 feet in length, except in certain instances where topographical features warrant special
consideration;
2. Residential lots shall front on residential class streets.
City Engineer Tracy LaPiene was recognized and explained the variances and the drainage for the
preliminary plat and how the developer was working to improve the drainage in the area. There was

There wasalso additional discussion regarding the future phases of the development and some conditions forfuture discussion when future phasing of the subdivision is brought forward. Mr. Tim Fleet, Developer, Fort Worth and Builder Riverside Homes was recognized. He noted he
would like to talk about the whole project rather than just this phase. He explained the drainage
situation in the area and noted that there are some significant drainage issues and summarized how
they were going to address them. He noted in this phase there are 10 lots and two (2) detention
ponds which will help reduce the water flow by over 40%. He noted the pipe size to release the
water out of the detention pond would not be any larger than the pipes under view road now. This
will help eliminate the water going over view road. He noted that they do not sell lots to other
builders and do all of the grading for their lots as they do each phase. He noted that when they met
with the County the Fire Marshal asked them to put a turn around for the fire trucks in the long street
going through future phase of the subdivision He noted that they are more than happy to do that on
both streets rather than having a cross street. He noted there will be two entrances into the
subdivision and the lots facing Metz Road will propose to have shared driveways (one driveway for
two houses). They would be happy to put shared driveways along View Road also if that is what
Council desires. Questions and discussion ensued. There was considerable discussion regarding the
future phasing of the development which did not apply specifically to this request but did include
discussion regarding
additional drainage, and a turnaround on the long streets for emergency access and concern brought
up by Councilmember Chick regarding future traffic and access onto the roads with the future 127
lots. It was noted that there would be additional discussion on the future phase.
City Engineer Tracy LaPiene explained the preliminary plat process and noted that this is a
preliminary plat and the process comes into play with limited engineering and expense to the
developer so they can get a buy in on the overall layout before they spend an extensive amount of
money for civil construction plans. Muzaib Riaz noted that for the Final Plat, there is a checklist
which requires that before a developer can submit the final plat application that they have to have a
complete approved set of Civil Plans for submission with the application. City Engineer noted that
there may be more variances required in the future development as we look at City Ordinance
requirements such a road
improvement requirements, allowing overhead electric lines to remain, etc).
There was brief discussion regarding a shared driveway for the lots onto View Road. The applicant
noted that he did not have a problem with that if it is what the Council wants. Councilmember Clark
shared his opinions and noted that he did not like the idea of shared driveways also noting that these
are one acre lots and it defeats the purpose of country living.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Bilyeu to approve the Preliminary Plat of Sanger Meadows
Addition, being 15.928 acres of land and generally located northwest of the intersection of View
Road and Metz Road with variances from the following requirements:
1. Where no existing subdivision controls, the blocks shall not exceed 1000 feet in length not to be
less than 500 feet in length, except in certain instances where topographical features warrant special
consideration;
2. Residential lots shall front on residential class streets.
The motion was seconded by Councilmember Barrett. The motion carried unanimously (50 vote).
7.PID Advisory Committee Appointment
Consider, Discuss and Possibly Act on Establishing an Advisory Committee and Appointing
Members to Represent the City in Relation to the Stephens Towne Crossing Proposed Public
Improvement District.
Mayor Muir provided a summary on the proposed suggestions for the Advisory Committee for the
Stephens Towne Crossing PID. He noted that he did speak with everyone on the list except for the
