Title
Consider a request for a Final Plat for Lot 1R of the Burbine Addition subdivision, being 2.448 acres, located approximately 3,500 feet north of the intersection of Indian Knoll Trail and Shady Grove Road, being a replat of Lots 1-A and 1-B, of the Burbine Addition subdivision, zoned Single-Family 36,000 minimum square-foot lots (SF-36), and addressed 9297 and 9299 Indian Knoll Trail. Curtis Young, Applicant. Susan Quinn, Owner. (PLAT-2605-0008)
Background:
The subject property was platted in 1984 as Lots 1-A and 1-B of the Burbine Addition. As part of the original platting, a 40-foot right-of-way was dedicated along the northern portion of both lots for a future public street connection.
At the time of plat approval, the City of Keller entered into a Street Use License agreement with the property owners, allowing the dedicated right-of-way area to be used as a private driveway serving both lots. The agreement stipulated that the private use of the right-of-way could continue until the City determined that construction of the public street was necessary.
The applicant is requesting approval of a replat to combine Lots 1-A and 1-B into a single lot for single-family residential use. The replat also proposes abandonment of the existing 40-foot right-of-way dedication, which is no longer needed to serve a future street connection. Approval of the replat would eliminate the dedicated right-of-way and terminate the associated Street Use License.

Drainage & Utilities:
Drainage and utility plans were not required for this application, as determined by City staff. The proposed replat does not create additional lots, and adequate utility easements are already in place to serve the property.
Citizen Input:
A Major Subdivision Final Plat application does not require a public hearing, so no public hearing notifications were sent out to the surrounding property owners for this request. There has been no response from the public to this application. The public will have an opportunity to speak on this agenda item during “Persons To Be Heard.”
Summary:
Section 2.07 (A)(2) of the UDC states that when considering a Major Subdivision Final Plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors:
a. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that the strict application of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or injurious to other properties in the area.
c. That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other lands in the area in accordance with the provisions of this Code.
d. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a violation of any other valid ordinance of the City of Keller.
e. That strict compliance with the regulations, and/or that the purpose of the regulations will be served to a greater extent by the alternative proposal.
Planning and Zoning Commission Alternatives:
The Planning and Zoning has the following options when considering a Final Plat with no variances:
• Recommend approval as submitted.
City Council Action:
