Planning commission recommends approval of small replat on Lakeshore Drive
Summary
The Waxahachie Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a replat to adjust the property line between Lots 5 and 6 of the Leo Hightower Addition at 139 Lakeshore Drive, allowing slightly larger setbacks though not meeting the technical 15-foot side-yard requirement.
The Waxahachie Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a replat requested by Brian Burkes that adjusts the property line between Lots 5 and 6 of the Leo Hightower Addition to create Lots 5A and 6A at 139 Lakeshore Drive.
Zach (planning staff) told the commission the replat is before them because it includes petitions for relief: a setback configuration and a decision not to dedicate additional right-of-way. "The zoning requirement calls for a side setback of approximately 15 feet," Zach said. "They're getting to about 10 feet with this request, but, again, it is better than what's there now." Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report.
Applicant Brian Burkes identified himself for the record and supplied an address. After no substantive questions from commissioners, a motion was made to recommend approval "subject to the conditions of the staff report authorizing the mayor and/or interim city manager to sign the associated documents accordingly." The motion was seconded and carried.
The recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission will be forwarded to City Council for final action on the two petitions for relief related to the replat. The commission took no additional public testimony on the matter during the hearing.
