Council approves final plat for Glendale Lake Section 14 in Arcola’s ETJ
Summary
Council approved a final plat for Glendale Lake Section 14 — roughly 30.085 acres with 101 lots — in Arcola's extraterritorial jurisdiction; staff recommended approval and noted the development’s utilities and adherence to the master plan.
The council approved a final plat submitted by RG Miller Engineers for Glendale Lake Section 14, a tract of approximately 30.085 acres with 101 lots, three blocks and four reserved areas. Lawrence Turner of Kaluza, Inc. presented the plat and said it follows the community’s master plan and that the section includes its own water and sanitary sewer systems; he noted the property is in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and could be annexed in the future.
"Tonight, what you have before you is a 30.085 acre tract of land...This is Section 14," Turner said when summarizing the application and staff recommendation. Staff recommended approval; Council Member Greg Abar moved to approve the final plat and Council Member Evelyn Jones seconded. The council then voted in favor and the motion passed.
Why it matters: Approval clears a regulatory milestone for a substantial residential subdivision in Arcola’s ETJ. The plat’s utilities and compliance with the master plan were cited by staff as reasons for recommendation; annexation remains a future option if the city so chooses.
What happens next: With the final plat approved, the developer may record the plat and pursue infrastructure construction as provided by the developer agreements and applicable county and city codes.
