Commission recommends approval of three‑lot replat at 305 Frierson Street
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of Sub‑27‑2026 to replat Lot 2, Block 175 into three residential lots; staff recommended variable right‑of‑way dedication and found two lots meet size requirements while one will be undersized without the requested relief.
The Waxahachie Planning and Zoning Commission on April 14 recommended approval of Sub‑27‑2026, a replat that will divide Lot 2, Block 175 (305 Frierson Street) into three residential lots in an SF‑3 zoning district.
Staff (David) explained that existing structures encroach into where right‑of‑way dedication and utility easements would normally be required, so the applicant filed a hardship petition to seek relief from standard requirements. Staff said two of the three new lots would meet the SF‑3 minimum lot size (10,000 square feet), while one lot would be about 5,972 square feet; staff recommended a variable right‑of‑way dedication up to 5 feet from existing structures along Frierson Street and full dedication along Yonge Street where structures are not present. Staff also noted no letters of support or opposition had been received and recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report.
Applicant Ronald Scott told the commission he intended to join the outlined area into the replat and that the purpose was to clarify lot lines and allow separate construction on the new lots. With no public opposition present and staff recommendation in hand, a commissioner moved to recommend approval subject to staff conditions and to authorize Planning & Zoning commissioners to sign the documents; the motion carried by voice/hand vote.
The item will be transmitted to City Council for final action as required by city procedure.
