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)
5. Update on the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board (GTAB) Meetings.
Commissioner Montgomery reviewed the June 8th meeting.
6. Questions or comments from Commissioners-in-Training about the actions and
matters considered on this agenda. NA
7. Reminder of the August 7, 2012, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
