PS 98-15 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Russ Garrison of Pipeline Road Church of
Christ for a Thoroughfare Plan Amendment For the Deletion of Simmons Drive North
of Mid-Cities Blvd.
Mr. Garrison is proposing to plat and develop 17 acres of property north of Mid-Cities Boulevard, west
of Cardinal Lane, and east of Precinct Line Road for a church. The currently adopted Master
Thoroughfare Plan indicates an extension of Simmons Drive from Mid-Cities Blvd. north to Main
Street. The proposed Simmons Drive extension is indicated to be a C-2-U and will be bisecting the
property Mr. Garrison would like to develop, making it extremely difficult to develop in the intended
manner.
The Planning Department has asked Public Works to review the requested Master Thoroughfare Plan
amendment. Public Works is not opposed to the removal of Simmons Drive from the Thoroughfare
Plan because it is not proposed to directly align with Simmons Drive south of Mid-Cities Boulevard.
The Planning Department’s opinion of the request is that it would have no significant adverse affect
on the overall transportation network of the City. This is due to the fact that both Cardinal Lane and
Martin Drive are existing and could be improved to handle any additional traffic flow resulting from
future development in the area. The Planning Department concurs with the Public Works comment:
Simmons Drive is not proposed to directly align with Simmons Drive on the south side of Mid-Cities
Blvd. Additionally, even if the proposed Arcadia development does get constructed on the south side
of Mid-Cities Blvd., Simmons Drive would be of little benefit. The improvement of portions of Cardinal
Lane and Martin Drive would satisfy any additional traffic demands generated by the Arcadia
development.
Although this is not required by State law to be held as a public hearing, as a courtesy, staff has
notified directly affected property owners of the proposed Master Thoroughfare Plan amendment.
In reviewing the Thoroughfare Plan for the entire City, it appears as if the removal of Simmons Drive
would have negligible negative impact on traffic patterns, access, and mobility for the citizens of NRH.

PS 98-09 Public Hearing to Consider the Request of Trula Thomas for a Replat to be known as
Lot 9AR & 9BR, Block 30, Fox Hollow Addition. (Located at 7732 and 7734 Sable
Lane)
This is approximately a .3 acre parcel of land that was previously platted as Lot 9, Block 30, Fox
Hollow Addition. This lot is zoned R-4-D Duplex Residential and has a duplex constructed on this
site. The owner is wishing to sell half of the duplex. Consequently, they are wishing to divide the lot
in half. The issues associated with this replat are as follows:
1. Drainage: Normally a drainage analysis is required of any replat. However, in this instance, the
surveyor/property owner is asking for a waiver of this requirement because this is an existing lot
with an existing structure, and no changes or construction will occur. The Public Works
Department has received a letter requesting a waiver of drainage analysis signed by the property
owner from the surveyor.
All other engineering comments have been agreed to. This plat is in conformance with the currently
adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH.
All property owners within 200’ of this request have been notified. To date, staff has not received any
adverse comments.
