Commission denies Wimberley ISD replat over outstanding utility-easement and floodplain questions
Summary
The commission voted to deny a multi-parcel replat submitted for a Wimberley ISD junior-high site because four review comments — mainly unresolved utility easements and floodplain/drainage mapping — remain outstanding; staff said the denial lets the district resubmit after corrections.
The Wimberley Planning and Zoning Commission voted Jan. 8 to deny a replat that would consolidate multiple parcels for a proposed Wimberley ISD junior-high site and related improvements funded by last years bond.
City staff (Nathan) told the commission the application arrived in December and is "a much more complicated replat" because of multiple easements and land area. Staff identified four outstanding comments — principally clarifications of utility easements and showing local drainage/floodplain features — and recommended the commission deny the plat so the applicant can correct and resubmit.
"Texas law requires that planning and zoning take action on a plat application within 30 days of its receipt," staff said, noting that procedural requirement drove the need to take formal action at the Jan. 8 meeting. Commissioners discussed the drainage mapping and the need to show the 100-year water surface and local creek/drainage features so the city can determine whether a drainage easement is required to protect buildable areas.
A commissioner moved to deny the replat based on the outstanding comments; the motion was seconded and carried by the commissioners present. Staff said the district may resubmit after resolving the listed comments, at which point the plat will return to planning and zoning for further review.
