Planning commission approves Bridal Subdivision plat, waives road‑widening and sidewalk requirements
Summary
The San Angelo Planning Commission approved the final plat for the Bridal Subdivision (FP 25‑25) in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction, granting the applicant variances for paving width and right‑of‑way dedication and waiving sidewalk requirements after staff described standard conditions for approval.
The San Angelo Planning Commission voted to approve the final plat for FP 25‑25 (Bridal Subdivision, Section 1) and granted the applicant the requested variances for paving and right‑of‑way along Spillway Road.
Austin Reed, senior planner, told the commission the plat creates two lots (about 2 acres and 5 acres) in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and that Spillway Road is technically a major collector but currently paved at approximately 20 feet; the city standard is 36 feet. Reed said staff recommended approval of the plat, recommended approval of a paving variance and denial of a right‑of‑way variance, and listed three conditions tied to approval: widening Spillway by 8 feet with curb and gutter, dedicating an additional 3 feet of right‑of‑way, and constructing sidewalks — or alternatively receiving variances or waivers.
Russell Gulley of SKG, speaking in public comment for the applicant, asked the commission to approve the plat with the requested variances and said the master thoroughfare map’s designation of the road as a major collector was unlikely to be fully built out (it would cross Lake Nazzworthy at the spillway). Gulley said the applicant will dedicate the 3 feet if necessary but preferred variances to avoid relocating fencing and utility poles.
Several commissioners said the existing road functions adequately for current use and noted low expected walking traffic; one commissioner observed that the county had signaled a preference to keep the road at 20 feet. After discussion, a commissioner moved to approve the plat and remove the three staff conditions (effectively granting the variances and permitting a sidewalk waiver). The chair announced the motion was from “Bridal” and seconded by “Patrick.” The motion carried on a voice vote with members responding “aye.”
The action means the plat is approved as presented with the commission accepting the reduced paving width and limited right‑of‑way, and with sidewalks to be addressed through any applicant request for a waiver or future staff action.
