Background:
On May 16, 2017, the City Council approved the Planned Development per Ordinance No. 1845.
On November 13, 2017, the final plat was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. However, the Applicant and Tarrant County Appraisal District were involved in a pending lawsuit that prohibited the filing of the plat to be filed until the pending lawsuit was complete. (Applicants are responsible for filing and recording plats.)
In January 2019, scrivener error related to the right-of-way easement was discovered, remedied and the plat resubmitted. It was executed in February 2019, but still not recorded because of the lawsuit.
The plat was filed in February 2020. However, per the City of Keller Code, the plat must be filed within two years from the date of the approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission or it expires.
Today, the Applicant is resubmitting the plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval.
