City staff backs Whitestone plat, cites Benbrook code on drainage deferrals
Summary
City staff recommended approval of the Whitestone preliminary plat but supported deferring permanent drainage improvements until building permit stage, citing Benbrook Municipal Code §16.04.015(d) and noting a temporary public drainage easement will be required on the final plat.
City planning staff presented the staff report recommending approval of the Whitestone Commercial preliminary plat (P-26-02) while supporting a conditional deferral of final drainage engineering and permanent easement dedication until the building permit application stage.
Planner Mr. Howard told the Commission that, under Benbrook Municipal Code section 16.04.015(d), drainage improvements are generally required at the time of platting but staff found it reasonable to defer those requirements when the applicant is seeking only to create the legal lot. He emphasized that the deferral “does not waive the requirement” and that required improvements must be in place prior to issuance of any building permit.
