PS 98-63 CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF KURTZ-BEDFORD FOR A REPLA T TO BE KNOWN AS LOTS 3R1 & 4, BLOCK 1, WALKER BRANCH ADDITION. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE 8500 BLOCK OF EMERALD HILLS WAY. APPROVED Ms. Ratcliff gave an overview of the case, explaining the request is to subdivide a 13.623-acre tract, which is zoned as Planned Development 27 and 27A, into two lots. Staff recommends approval of PS 98-63, a replat to be known as Lots 3R 1 & 4, Block 1, Walker Branch Addition subject to compliance with the engineer's comments regarding engineering and construction plans and that the owner verification of the proposed easement be resolved prior to being placed on the City Council Agenda. Kevin Miller, Assistant Director of Public Works, explained that the northern most approach is slightly in conflict with the drive approach across Emerald Hills Way, which is the entrance to the Softball Park, which caused the Parks Department some concern regarding traffic movement. Public Works suggested either align the two driveways or offset them significantly, to eliminate traffic movement conflicts. They also suggested making that drive approach an "in only". However, he stated the use of this facility will not warrant significant traffic and Public Works doesn't consider this is a significant issue, but no resolution has been made. Mr. Lueck, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to approve PS 98-63 subject to engineer's comments and that owner verification of the proposed easement is obtained prior to the plat moving forward to the City Council. The motion carried unanimously. Page 3 7/22199 P & Z Minutes 6.
