APPLICANT/OWNER:
Castle Group, LLC
AGENT:
Bruce Engineering, Inc.
CASE SUMMARY:
The applicant is seeking Final Plat approval to subdivide eleven (11) lots into five (5) lots for the purpose of future residential development. The new lots will be Lots 4A, 5A, 6B, 8C, and 8D, Block 2, Castle Heights Estates Subdivision, Phase 1.  
CASE BACKGROUND:
Castle Heights Estates Subdivision is located immediately north of Lakeway Road and east of Burma Road. The proposed lots will have access via Jordan Drive and Moonlight Drive to Lakeway Road. The property has a zoning designation of R-2, Single and Two Family Residential. The owner desires to create single family lots from existing duplex lots. The proposed lots are larger than the minimum requirement of 6,000 square feet and range in size from 19,907 square feet to 28,989 square feet.
 
The proposed subdivision is linked to the vacation of Jordan Court, which the Planning Commission recommended approval at the May 27, 2014 meeting. City Council approved the vacate request on first reading of the Ordinance on June 3, 2014. It is necessary for the vacation request to be approved prior to approval of the proposed subdivision.
  
The proposed subdivision public improvements will require the removal of Jordan Court and the rerouting and installation of new electric, water and sewer services. The owner will also need to remove existing unused services since the amount of lots in the subdivision will be reduced, as well as be reconfigured.
CASE REQUIREMENTS:
  1.         A Title Report shall be submitted prior to recording the plat and a Consent to          Subdivide document shall be provided if necessary.  
2.         Adhere to notes about the plat from the County Assessor’s Office, the County Clerk, City GIS and City Planning.  
3.         All unused services are to be removed prior to recording the plat either through a Recorded or Unrecorded Plat Agreement.  
4.         Relocate water, sanitary sewer, electrical, cable or any other utility equipment or services as necessary. The relocation of the subdivision improvements shall be by a Recorded or Unrecorded Plat Agreement.  
5.         Relocate and show on the plat all new Utility Easements due to utility equipment or services relocation.  
6.         A Permit to Construct shall be issued one week prior to the Final Plat being reviewed by City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
