5.Consider and Possible Action on Preliminary Plat of the Skiles Property, 137.26 Acres,
Located East of Interstate 35 at View Road.
Mayor Higgs inquired on the correction of city limits on the preliminary plat.
Joe Iliff indicated that on the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation they
approved the preliminary plat to show the correct city limits along the west side of Interstate
35 and the west side of the BNSF railroad tracts. Mr. Iliff advised this was one of the
recommendations. It will be reflected on the final plat. The Planning & Zoning approved the
preliminary plat unanimously. Mr. Iliff continued with a discussion concerning the
following issues:
The preliminary plat will provide for the extension of View Road east from Interstate
35.
The property is being subdivided into three lots.
It will include an area on the northeast corner for an onsite storm water detention
pond.
The applicant is planning to revise the location of the 100-year floodplain within the
boundaries of the plat.
Mr. Iliff explained the applicant can final plat each individual lot as it is sold or he could
final plat the entire area as indicated on the preliminary plat. He proceeded to discuss the
onsite storm water detention area which is separate from the lots. The pond will service all
three properties and all the properties will be responsible for maintenance.
Councilman Muir indicated that if the property is owned by the same person it is not a
problem. He then asked if it is held by three different people would there be an owner
association agreement to make sure the detention pond is maintained.
Mr. Iliff indicated there would be a property owner’s association where the detention pond
would be under common maintenance of all the owners.
Motion was made by Council Patton to approve the preliminary plat of the Skiles’ property,
137.26 acres, located East of Interstate 35 on View Road. Seconded by Councilman Garza.
Councilman Patton amended motion to include approval of the preliminary plat with the
condition that the following revisions be made:
The applicant revise the preliminary plat to show the corporation lines (city limits)
along the west side of the Interstate 35 right-of-way and the west side of the BNSF
railroad tracts.
The applicant revised the preliminary to designate the detention pond as being within
a common area in Block A (Common Area A), separate from Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Block
A.
Councilman Garza agreed with amendment. Motion carried unanimously.
