Plat 15-05 Kenneth Dirksen, P.E., Representing David Breeden, President of Indian Hills Properties, LTD. requesting a Final Plat for the Buena Vista Hills Unit No. 9 Subdivision being 6.62 Acres out of I.&G.N.R.R. Co., Block 4, Survey 9, Abstract 1047 Described in Conveyance Document to Indian Hill Properties, LTD Recorded in Document 282409 of the Val Verde County Official Records, Del Rio, Texas. Mrs. Pokrant presented the staff report and recommendation. Board member Salgado asked if there was going to be a dedication of land with this plat. Mrs. Pokrant stated that the Buena Vista Development Co. is dedicating over 30 acres of land off of Kingsway for a sports complex. She also stated that there is another 10 plus acres with the annexation of the next area. Board member Salgado asked if the land is usable land and not just flood plain property. Mr. Breeden explained that the land is developable land and is very flat and stated that none of the 10 plus acres are in the flood plain. Mrs. Pokrant stated that out of the 30 plus acres of land about 19 acres were located in the flood plain. Board member Salgado asked about why sidewalks were not shown in the plat. Mrs. Pokrant stated that our ordinance only requires sidewalks along one side of a collector street such as Kingsway, Amistad, Agarita. Board member Salgado stated that she thought we could require them but the city just wasn't enforcing. Mrs. Pokrant stated that staff could not enforce sidewalks on every street. She went on to say that staff recommended sidewalks on every street years ago and petitioned the community to see what their feelings were on the matter. Then presented those results to the City Council. The City Council did not give any direction to staff at that time to revise the ordinance to require sidewalks on every street. Board member Salgado asked if an environmental impact was required for the school system or other facilities. Mrs. Pokrant stated that environmental impact studies are not required, but that our ordinance does require a land dedication for school sites. She mentioned that Buena Vista Development Co. did donate the land for the Buena Vista Elm and the North Side Fire Station in coordination with the overall development of the area. She mentioned that the school district was going to meet with Mr. Nixon
and some local developers again to see if there is any possibility for additional land for a school site. Board member Salgado asked about the drainage for the site. Mrs. Pokrant stated that the water was running to the rear of the property so that it wouldn't impact any of the neighboring properties. Board member Salgado stated that she had a concern about the requested 15' front yard setback variance. There was a discussion of the requested 15' variance for the cul-de-sac lots. Mrs. Pokrant stated that every one of the cul-de-sacs in the Ceniza area has been approved with the 15' setback variance. She said that you can't tell there is a difference between the setbacks on the cul-de-sacs verses the straight street lots. There was further discussion of the requested setback variance. b. Plat 15--05 A Re-plat of Lots 1 2, 3, 7 and 8 a Portion of the Alley and Establishing Lot A, Block D of the Rowland and Cook Addition, Del Rio Texas Mrs. Pokrant presented the staff repoort and recommendation.
