Wimberley planning commission approves replat of Lot 111 in South River Unit 1, forwards to city council
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend a replat that merges an unplatted 0.801-acre parcel into Lot 111 (to become Lot 111A) in the South River subdivision, after staff said the plat meets city rules.
WIMBERLEY — The Wimberley City Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended the city council approve a replat that adds a 0.801-acre unplatted tract to Lot 111 in South River Unit 1, creating Lot 111A.
Nathan, city planning staff, told the commission the parcel appears to have been omitted when the original South River Unit 1 plat was recorded and that the proposed replat "meets all of our ordinances and requirements and city staff recommends that y'all approve this replat." He said the owner is building on the property and needs the replat for permitting and to eliminate a lot line that interferes with building setbacks.
The commission discussed the administrative nature of replats and the limited grounds for denial. Nathan said if the replat meets the city's subdivision rules it should not be denied and that denial would require a written, specific legal basis and could expose the city to legal challenge. No residents signed up to speak on the item.
A commission member moved and the commission voted aye to recommend approval and forward the plat to the Hays County Clerk for filing following city council action. The commission’s motion and staff recommendation leave final approval to the city council, which will review the vacate/replat and authorize the plat for recordation.
