AND NOW TWO STAFF REPORTS.

[6.A. 22P-087 (2453 103rd Street) Request For A Replat To Increase The Number Of Lots From One To Two. The Property Is Legally Described As Lot 14 Neumann Addition (2020), Abstract 121, In The City And County Of Galveston, Texas. Applicant: Gregory Pekar Property Owners: Gregory And Nancy Pekar]

THIS IS 22P 087.

THIS IS A REPLAY AT 2453 103RD STREET.

AND THIS IS A REQUEST FOR REPLAT FROM ONE LOT INTO TWO.

THERE WERE 22 WITNESSES SENT PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 2019.

THE SUBJECT PARCEL SHOWN WAS PART OF A LARGE STRETCH OF LAND BETWEEN SCHAEFER ROAD AND WARREN ROAD.

THAT PARCEL WAS REPLAYED INDIVIDUAL LOTS IN THEIR CASE 19P050, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT PARCELS, CURRENT CONFIGURATION, WHICH YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE SCREEN.

NOW THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IN REPLY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOSS FROM 1 TO 2 LOTS ARE CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED.

AND OF COURSE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING FOR REPLIES.

INCREASING DENSITY IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONING.

PLEASE NOTE IN YOUR STAFF REPORT THE ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USES GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE AREA ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCES.

ALTHOUGH TO THE SOUTH ACROSS SCHAEFER ROAD, SOME TOWNHOMES DO EXIST.

IT'S OUR TWO ZONING SUBJECT PARCELS UNDEVELOPED AS A PARCEL TO THE EAST AND WEST.

A NEW SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED CONSTRUCTION IS OCCURRING TO THE NORTH.

LOTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO EXISTING NEW SANITARY SEWER LINE LOCATED ON THIRD STREET, RIGHT OF WAY PUBLIC WORKS NOTES OR.

SHAPIRO PUBLIC NOTES.

PUBLIC WORKS NOTES SAY TEN FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR LOT ONE TO ACCESS WATER LINES ON 103RD STREET AS THE WATER LINES LONG SHAPE OR ARE UNSUITABLE FOR NEW TAPS.

THE R ONE ZONING DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS IN THIS AREA, A MINIMUM 50 FOOT WIDE OF 100 FOOT LONG AND A MINIMUM OF 5000 SQUARE FOOT.

THE REPLAT PARTIALLY EXCEEDS MINIMUM ZONING WITHIN AREA STANDARDS FOR R-1 ZONING ADDENDUM.

ONE OF THE PROPOSED LOSSES IS NOT, HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS OBTAINED A VARIANCE ON LOT LENGTH FROM THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OR CASE 22Z-009.

THEREFORE, PLANNING COMMISSION WILL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS PLAN.

IT WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING ONLY.

PLEASE NOTE THE PLAT APPROVAL CRITERIA AND THE STAFF REPORT THE PLAT WILL BE APPROVED WITH SPECIFIC CONDITIONS.

ONE STANDARD CONDITIONS TWO THROUGH THREE AND WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS SO WE HAVE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THERE IN THE PHOTO AND AN AERIAL VIEW.

AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND HERE WE HAVE THE PROPOSED REPLAY OUT THERE ON THE LOWER RIGHT.

AND IN THE UPPER LEFT, WE HAVE KIND OF AN OVERLAY OF THE PROPOSED REPLAT ON THE AERIALS.

SO YOU CAN SEE PRETTY MUCH HOW THINGS WILL LAY.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, DANIEL. AND HERE WE HAVE PHOTOS OF THE NORTH TO THE EAST, TO THE SOUTH, TO THE WEST.

AND THIS CONCLUDES THIS REPORT.

COMMISSIONERS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YES, I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION I'VE GOT TO ASK.

I'M SORRY, ON THIS HEAR, 130 FEET NOT BUILDABLE ON THAT LOT 1 FOR AN ABSORPTION EASEMENT.

WHAT IS THAT? I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WITH DRAINING.

THERE IS AN EXISTING SWALE THAT HOLDS WATER AT LEAST PARTIALLY ALONG THAT ENTIRE LENGTH THAT GOES IT GOES FAR TO THE NORTH ACROSS THOSE LOTS.

SO I BELIEVE IN ABSORPTION.

EASEMENT IS BASICALLY A, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, A DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

AND WHO DICTATES THAT IS NOT BUILDABLE? IT'S PRETTY MUCH, I THINK, BASED ON PRACTICAL PURPOSES.

AND OF COURSE, IF IT'S DECLARED WETLAND, THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS WOULD DETERMINE THAT AND MAKE A DETERMINATION.

ALSO, WHEN SURVEYORS PRODUCE THESE DOCUMENTS, THEY TYPICALLY DO RESEARCH TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT THOSE ARE AND NOTE THEM ACCORDINGLY ON THE PLATS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I SAW THAT WAS NOTED ON THE PREVIOUS PLAT AS WELL.

I CAN CARRY IT OVER TO THE REPLAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HERE, AND THEN WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 335.

[00:05:01]

WE WILL CLOSE IT AT 3:35 AND THERE'S NO MOTION NEEDED, SO THERE YOU GO.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO BECOME BEFORE THE COMMISSION.

NO OTHER BUSINESS ON THE AGENDA.

ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? HAPPY NEW YEAR.

AND WITH THAT AT 3:35, WE WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING.

THANK YOU. WELL DONE.

ALL RIGHT. I DID IT.
