Benbrook Planning and Zoning Commission approves Whitestone preliminary plat with drainage deferral
Summary
The Commission approved the preliminary plat for the Whitestone Commercial addition (P-26-02) and allowed deferral of final drainage improvements until building permit submittal, subject to conditions listed in staff Attachment 3.
The Benbrook Planning and Zoning Commission on June 11 approved a preliminary plat for the Whitestone Commercial Edition (P-26-02), allowing a single 5.3-acre lot to be platted and deferring final drainage improvements until the developer submits building permit applications.
At the podium, applicant Brian Dench of Westwood said the owner intends to market the lot and that platting it is a step to make the property more marketable. Dench described the tract as “approximately 5.3 acres” adjacent to the city-owned golf course and with shared access to US 377. City staff recommended approval with a deferral and listed conditions in Attachment 3 of the staff report. “We are supportive of the deferral request,” city staff member Mr. Howard told the Commission, adding that preliminary engineering shows the site can meet city ordinances if it proceeds to final development.
The Commission moved and seconded the motion to approve the preliminary plat and associated deferral subject to staff’s listed conditions and then passed the motion by voice vote. Staff said the final plat can be approved administratively so long as it matches the approved preliminary plat; if the final plat does not meet regulations, it will be returned to the Commission for denial or further action.
