4.Consideration and possible action on a Waiver for 39.9 acres being Lot 3 of Dry
Berry Subdivision, to allow access by an easement and access less than 25’ in width,
located at the terminus of Market Street. WAV-2012-001 (Mike Elabarger) Staff
report by Mike Elabarger.
The applicant owns the subject property, which does not have direct access to or
frontage on a public street, but rather utilizes an easement over a portion of Lot 1 of
the subdivision to gain access to Market Street. The applicant wishes to create a
Replat of Lot 3 in order to create 4 lots, where each lot would have a 15-foot wide
flag over the area indicated as “60’ wide future right-of-way” to then utilize the
existing easement to gain access to the terminus of Market Street , rather than having
direct access to this public street as required by Section 6.02.010.
In order to perform such a Replat , the applicant has requested a waiver from Section
6.02.010(B.)(1.) to not have direct access or frontage on a public street for a future
four lot subdivision.
The property is cleared, undeveloped, and used agriculturally by the applicant. It
generally slopes to the east toward Dry Berry Creek , and contains a small pond on
the eastern side. A gravel access drive utilized by the Chisholm Trail Special Utility
District runs partially along the southern boundary. The current plat for the
property identifies a “60’ wide future right of way” that runs along the southern
boundary of the property from west to east . This designation is for a future
extension of Market Street , identified on the City’s future land use/transportation
plan as a future collector street , that would run northeast to connect to CR 152. Staff
is supportive of the request for a waiver, as it is within the scope of the Future Land
Use for this property and is providing appropriate relief in this unique circumstance.
Chair Brashear invited the applicant to speak. David Schwegmann reviewed the
history of the property and his plans for the future. Property is currently being
accessed by Chisholm Trail Water. He hopes to be able to give two, 5-6 acre lots to
his children.
Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak , the
Public Hearing was closed.
Motion by Chair Brashear approval of the Waiver for 39.9 acres being Lot 3 of
Amended Conveyance Plat of Lots 1 & 3, Dry Berry Subdivision to add 23.63 acres
in the John Berry Survey, to not have direct access or frontage on a public street for a
future four lot subdivision, subject to the addition of a plat note limiting the future
use of the subject property to single-family residential in nature on the individual
tracts with no more than one (1) single-family residence being built on each lot.
Second by Commissioner Pell.
Approved. (6-0)
