these properties and how the city would address the conflicts on the roads. Nelson explained that
Preliminary Plats did not have public hearings and so therefore do not require notification. The
notifications that are sent for Planning & Zoning items meet the criteria as prescribed by the Local
Government Code. Brashear asked that more notifications be considered for adjoining subdivisions
when they are impacting surrounding properties and traffic.
Brashear also questioned the administrative variance for the boundary wall that was given. Davila
explained that the developer had been allowed to erect a three foot barrier wall with landscaping,
instead of a five foot barrier wall.
Motion by Brashear to approve the Preliminary Plat for application PP -2017-006 as proposed.
