El Campo council approves Prairie Park Estates final plat with variance for one undersized lot
Summary
The El Campo City Council approved Resolution R2025-38 to accept a final plat for Prairie Park Estates (PLAT-202503), allowing an initial phase of nine single-family lots and a variance for one undersized parcel previously approved by the Board of Adjustments.
The El Campo City Council on July 28, 2025, voted to approve Resolution R2025-38, accepting the final plat for Prairie Park Estates (PLAT-202503), a roughly 8.647-acre replat near Frankie and Wharton streets.
Planning staff presented the plat and identified the applicant as Edward Vallejo. Staff said the parcel has been difficult to develop in its current condition and noted the plat will proceed in two phases: Phase 1 would create nine lots along Frankie Street and Phase 2 would reserve space for a future cul-de-sac and additional single-family lots. Staff also told the council that one lot at the corner of Wharton and Frankie does not meet the 70-foot width requirement (measuring about 35 feet) and that the Board of Adjustments had unanimously approved a variance for that parcel at its hearing.
Council members asked about lot sizes and timeline for construction; staff said the homes would be single-family houses likely in the 2,000–3,000 square-foot range and that the applicant anticipated beginning work after county filings were completed. After brief discussion, a council member moved to approve Resolution R2025-38 “as presented,” a motion that was seconded and carried by the council.
The approval clears the way for Phase 1 infrastructure and lot recording; staff noted any future changes to Phase 2, including final cul-de-sac design, would return to planning and the council if required. The final plat package included the P&Z recommendation and the Board of Adjustments variance.
