Planning commission approves Rye Hill Parkway Street Dedication Section 2 replat to add one-acre strip
Summary
The Sugar Land Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 25 approved the Rye Hill Parkway Street Dedication Section 2 Replat No. 1, adding an approximately 1-acre strip of land previously recorded in a Rosenberg plat and creating two reserves restricted to drainage, landscaping and open space.
The City of Sugar Land Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 25 voted 6-0 to approve Rye Hill Parkway Street Dedication Section 2 Replat No. 1, a replat that adds about a 1-acre strip of land originally recorded in a Rosenberg plat and establishes two reserves restricted to drainage, landscaping and open space.
Planning staff member Jessica Echols, senior planner, told commissioners the replat covers 13.43 acres and “includes 0 lots, 2 reserves, and 2 blocks” and that the one-acre strip had been “mistakenly included with the Rosenberg plot.” Echols said the Rosenberg plat was amended and recorded Sept. 23 to remove that portion and an access easement was recorded to maintain legal access until the replat dedicates the additional right of way.
Staff recommended approval with one condition: the subdivision boundaries and recordation information for Rye Hill Parkway Street Dedication and Reserve Section 1 Amending Plat No. 1 and Rye Hill Section 1 must be shown within 200 feet of the plat boundary on the miller copies submitted for signature. The chair moved to approve the replat subject to that condition; Commissioner Landeen seconded. The motion passed 6-0.
The replat corrects how the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) limits line is shown for the development. Echols explained the replat is necessary because “the final plat was approved with conditions back in May” and the ETJ line had previously been shown incorrectly, which resulted in the Rosenberg plat including land that lies within Sugar Land’s ETJ.
Commissioners asked whether staff would verify the condition; Echols said staff will review the miller copies when they are submitted and the chair will sign the millers once the condition is addressed. The replat also records the abandonment of portions of a drill-site access easement located within public right-of-way as each final plat in the master development is recorded.
The commission’s action updates the official record for the Rye Hill development to include the strip previously, and incorrectly, recorded in Rosenberg. No public comments were offered during the item.
The commission approved the minutes earlier in the meeting and then moved to this item; the Rye Hill replat discussion lasted about a dozen minutes and concluded with the 6-0 vote approving the replat with the staff condition.
