Commission approves Rye Hill Section 3 preliminary plat with specified corrections

Sugar Land — The Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 27 approved the preliminary plat for Rye Hill Section 3 subject to staff’s recommended corrections to reserve labels and numeric dimensions.

Planning presenter Jessica Acoles told commissioners Rye Hill Section 3 covers 46.543 acres and would include 115 single-family lots, eight reserves and four blocks. She said lot widths generally range from 40 to 45 feet, with an additional 10 feet for corner lots, and that the section includes two detention ponds and an amenity center reserve.

Staff recommended conditional approval with three required corrections: revise the restricted reserve label in the reserve table on sheet 3 from “Restricted Reserve G” to “Restricted Reserve H”; correct several street and rear-lot dimensions on the preliminary plat (street dimension adjacent to Block 3 Lots 1 and 2 from 131.49 to 131.5; adjacent to Block 2 Lot 12 from 224.37 to 224.38; adjacent to Block 2 Lots 205 and 206 from 58.21 to 58.2; adjacent to Block 3 Lot 9 from 390.96 to 390.95; rear of Block 2 Lot 52 from 125.33 to 125.34; rear of Block 2 Lot 61 from 122.18 to 122.19), and correct lengths in the line table (line 19 from 559.95 to 559.94; lines 18, 20 and 21 from 371.01 to 371.02). Staff cited the Development Application Handbook and Development Code Chapter 5 requirements for those graphic corrections.

A motion to approve the preliminary plat with the staff conditions passed on a voice vote after a second. Acoles noted that preliminary plats are not recorded and that master notes, signature blocks and proposed easements will be included on the final plat submittal.

The commission’s approval allows the developer to move forward to final-plat preparation and engineering review subject to the corrections, which staff must confirm before final approval and recordation.
