Commission approves lot‑frontage waivers, site plans and a preliminary plat; multiple items passed 5‑0
Summary
The commission approved multiple consent items on June 17, including subdivision waivers that allow lots to front onto utility or access easements rather than public rights of way and related preliminary site plans and conveyance plats. A separate preliminary plat was also approved.
The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission on June 17 approved a set of consent items related to multiple commercial and subdivision proposals, including waivers from the town’s subdivision frontage requirements and the corresponding preliminary site plans and conveyance plat. All motions on these items passed unanimously, 5‑0.
What the commission approved: - Items 3e and 3f: A waiver to allow Lot 3 in Frontier South Block A to have frontage on a fire‑lane/access/utility/drainage easement instead of a public right‑of‑way, and the preliminary site plan for Frontier South Block A Lots 1 through 3. The site plan calls for two restaurant/retail buildings on Lots 1 and 2 and a retail building on Lot 3 totaling approximately 62,730 square feet. Staff conditioned approval on recordation of a plat to subdivide the property and on Town Council approval of the waiver. Commissioner Hamilton moved to approve 3e and 3f; Commissioner Carson seconded. Motion carried 5‑0. - Items 3j, 3k and 3l: A companion group of items that included a waiver for lot frontage for Lots 3 and 9 (allowing those lots to front onto a filing/access/utility/drainage easement), a preliminary site plan for multiple lots (Lots 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9) with a combined building area of about 139,165 square feet (restaurants, retail, health studio and parking), and a conveyance plat creating Lots 3, 5, 8 and 9. Staff conditioned approval on recordation of a plat prior to development and on Town Council approval of the lots that do not front a public right‑of‑way. Commissioner Hamilton moved to approve the items subject to staff comments; Commissioner Furey seconded. Motion carried 5‑0. - Item 3m: A preliminary plat creating residential lots in a new subdivision. Staff said the new plat increases the lot count from the prior preliminary plat by three lots (from 285 to 288). Commissioners asked about lot widths and whether the smallest allowed lot width in the zoning text (55 feet) appeared on the submitted plat. An engineer representing the applicant stated that the smallest proposed lots on the submitted plat are 60 feet in width; staff confirmed the submitted lots meet the PD requirements as drawn. Commissioner Blanton moved to approve item 3m; Commissioner Hamilton seconded. Motion carried 5‑0.
Staff and technical notes: For the site plan that includes Lot 3 (the back lot without public‑street frontage), staff noted that Hartman and the fire department reviewed the plans and raised no concerns about emergency access. Screening along the southern boundary of one site will be a living screen (American pillar arborvitae or Carolina cherry laurel) where the property abuts a lot zoned single‑family; staff requested living‑screen details be submitted with the Lot 2 site plan. Several approvals were conditioned on recordation of plat documents before building permits are issued and on Town Council approval of nonfronting lots.
Votes and motions recorded in the meeting transcript match the approvals above and are recorded as 5‑0 in favor for each of the items described.
Ending: The approvals allow the applicants to move forward to plat recordation and site plan finalization, subject to the staff conditions noted on the record.
