SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action on a Preliminary/Final Plat of 1.017 acres being a portion of Outlot
Division A, Block 12, located at 1718 Leander Street, to create four residential lots. PFP-2014-001 (Mike
Elabarger)
ITEM SUMMARY:
Background: The proposed subdivision is located in the 1700 block of Railroad and Leander Streets; the
property currently fronts on both of these streets. The property is currently developed on the proposed Lot
2, with the remainder appearing to have never been developed. The dwelling on proposed Lot 2 is
identified as a Low priority structure on the 2007 Historic Resources Survey. Due to inappropriate
additions and removal of character defining features, the structure has little historic integrity left and is no
longer a contributing structure to the historic resources of Georgetown. The structure was approved for
demolition at the February 27, 2014 Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) Meeting
and, according to the property owner, will be removed from the site following the conclusion of the state
and federally mandated 60 day demolition delay period per the Certified Local Government agreement.
The property is generally flat, and has significant tree cover over most of it, with six (6) identified
Heritage Trees being noted on this plat. Annexation dates to 1915, and the zoning district (Residential
Single-family, RS) appears to have evolved over time to this district since the inception of zoning in the
City generations ago.
Public Comment: Public notice is not required for a preliminary plat application. There have been no
public comments received at the time of this report.
Special Considerations: None.
Recommended Motion: Approval of a Preliminary/Final Plat of 1.017 acres in Outlot Division A, Block
12, located at 1718 Leander Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the required fees.

Applicant’s Request
The applicant requests to subdivide one 1.017 acre lot out into four (4) residential lots; see Exhibit 3.
Site Information/History
The proposed subdivision is located in the 1700 block of Railroad and Leander Streets; the property
currently fronts on both of these streets. The property is currently developed on the proposed Lot 2, with
the remainder appearing to have never been developed. The dwelling on proposed Lot 2 is identified as a
Low priority structure on the 2007 Historic Resources Survey. Due to inappropriate additions and removal
of character defining features, the structure has little historic integrity left and is no longer a contributing
structure to the historic resources of Georgetown. The structure was approved for demolition at the
February 27, 2014 Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) Meeting and, according to the
property owner, will be removed from the site following the conclusion of the state and federally mandated
60 day demolition delay period per the Certified Local Government agreement. The property is generally
flat, and has significant tree cover over most of it, with six (6) identified Heritage Trees being noted on this
plat. Annexation dates to 1915, and the zoning district (Residential Single-family, RS) appears to have
evolved over time to this district since the inception of zoning in the City generations ago.
2030 Plan Conformance
Staff has analyzed the proposed subdivision and taken into consideration the 2030 Future Land Use Plan.
This property is overlain with the Moderate Density Residential future land use designation, which is well
Planning Department Staff Report
1718 Leander Street Preliminary/Final Plat Page 2 of 2
fulfilled by the RS zoning district. The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1, Developed or
Redeveloping, which is certainly the case in this proposal.
Utilities
The property is within the Georgetown Utility Systems (GUS) electric, water, and wastewater service areas
and will be served by the City for all three utilities through the building permit process when each lot is
developed.
Transportation/Access
As noted, the site fronts on both Railroad Street and Leander Street. The subdivision will create four
nearly identically sized lots, two each fronting on these streets. Lots 3 and 4, fronting Railroad Street, will
take access from a shared driveway easement as shown on the plat. The applicant, in conjunction with the
City’s Urban Forester, have come up with possible building footprints and site feature locations for each lot
that comply with Heritage Tree regulations for their protection.
Future Application(s)
The Preliminiary/Final Plat is an application that allows for the combination of the Preliminary and Final
Plats where an administrative plat triggers a Preliminary Plat due only to the required dedication of utilities
or land (Leander Street right-of-way in this instance). The combined application follows the procedure for
approval of a Preliminary Plat, but also receives Final Plat approval and may be recorded.
The following applications will be processed separately:
• Building permits for construction on each residential lot.
Staff Analysis
Staff Recommendation and Basis:
The proposed Preliminary/Final Plat meets the requirements of the Unified Development Code and is
recommended for approval.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
None
Public Comments
Public notice is not required for a preliminary plat application. There have been no public comments
received at the time of this report.
