Commission denies final plat for Enchanted Creek Estates Phase 2B over outstanding road tests and documentation
Summary
The commission denied approval of the final plat for Enchanted Creek Estates Phase 2B after staff identified outstanding items including missing test documentation for road panels and required repairs; staff indicated cores were later taken and passed but outstanding conditions remained.
The Lucas Planning and Zoning Commission voted to deny the final plat submittal for Enchanted Creek Estates Phase 2B, a proposed 51‑lot subdivision covering about 104.595 acres, citing outstanding construction‑ and materials‑testing items staff said must be resolved before final approval.
Staff described five outstanding items, including missing test cylinder records and saw‑cut and seal work on concrete road panels and culvert joints. Staff said the contractor did not preserve some required test cylinders for a portion of the road, so the city required additional verification (a Smith hammer test and coring). City staff reported the additional cores were cut and later tested and that the samples showed sufficient strength, but other outstanding items remained on the punch list.
During deliberation commissioners discussed two options permitted by ordinance: deny the plat outright or issue a conditional approval that remains a disapproval until the developer remedies all items. A motion to deny the plat was made and carried in the meeting record. Staff noted the developer is responsible for corrective work and that the subdivision will require a two‑year, 10% maintenance bond as standard practice.
