Commission grants partial pavement variance and defers local-road requirement for Naumann addition plat
Summary
The commission approved FP2522 (Naumann Addition Section 2, Lot 1) with a partial variance to widen East 28th Street to 26 feet with curb and gutter and deferred construction of a planned local road via a developer agreement; vote was unanimous (6–0).
The San Angelo Planning Commission approved a final plat for the Naumann Addition (FP2522) and granted a partial variance on road width while deferring construction of a new local road to a developer agreement.
Austin Reed, senior planner, described the application as a final plat creating a single 11.98-acre lot in a light-manufacturing (ML) zone. The applicant requested two variances: to keep East 28th Street at 18 feet (the existing width) rather than bringing it to the standard width, and not to construct a new local road shown on the plat. Staff recommended a partial variance — bringing East 28th to a minimum of 26 feet with curb and gutter — and allowing a deferral for the new local road through a developer agreement.
City engineering weighed in on street construction standards. Kevin Bates, city engineer, recommended a ribbon curb rather than a caliche base for temporary turnarounds and explained that the subdivision ordinance accommodates phased development through deferral agreements that can mitigate upfront paving costs.
Commission discussion focused on safety and long-term maintenance: commissioners asked about curb types, minimum widths required by the city’s Land Development and Subdivision Ordinance (LDSO), and how a deferral would be memorialized. Staff confirmed deferrals are recorded with the plat and typically include triggers or time limits; they noted a deferral can be tied to future development events or a specified time period.
On a motion from a commissioner and with a second, the commission approved the plat with the partial variance for paving and curb and gutter on East 28th Street and approved deferral of the local-road construction (to be managed through a developer agreement or financial guarantee). The motion passed unanimously, 6–0.
Next steps: staff will work with the applicant on the partial-variance conditions, right-of-way dedication and the developer-agreement terms that memorialize the deferral.
