Inc. for establishing the “Road A” alignment.
Case No. 2015-23 – Consider approving, in accordance with the Planning and

acres out of Abstract 435, generally located at the north side of Belt Line Road
between Joe Wilson Road and Waterford Oaks Drive; requested by Charles
Crook of Charles Crook Consulting on behalf of Al Sani.
Council member Swayze asked about the school zones and whether the Traffic Safety
Committee had talked about whether it would be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or just
during the school period.
Elias Sassoon, Public Works Director, responded that it would only occur during the
school period which would be 30 minutes in the morning before school and 45 minutes
after school.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin had a question about the no parking zones on Highway 67 and
asked if that was a result of certain places on the service road that people have been
parking.
Elias Sassoon, Public Works Director, stated that we contacted TXDOT and they said that
any regulation regarding parking along frontage roads are deferred to the cities.
Mayor Franke stated that when the weather is bad and people are parking on the side
of the roads it causes damage to the roads.
Mayor Franke stated that Consent 7 will be pulled from the Consent Agenda for
separate discussion. He stated he would like the briefing on the Water Customer Issues
to come first and then if there is time, questions about Consent 7 will take place after
the briefing. If there is not enough time to discuss Consent 7 at that time, then
discussion will take place during the Regular meeting.
Regular Agenda:
Case No. 2015-18 – Consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a funeral
home or mortuary within the “LR” – Local Retail zoning district on Lot 1, Block A,
Canyon Properties Addition, being 1.9405 acres located at 1395 N. Hwy 67;
requested by Dedrick Jennings on behalf of Sacred Funeral Home.
Council member Jami McCain asked about Regular 1 and wanted to know if there
were new plans because the plans in the City Council packet were the same from the
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting in August. She also wanted to know if the
concerns from the citizens had been addressed.
Page 4
October 27, 2015
Greg Porter, City Manager stated that would be good questions for the applicant.
Rod Tyler, Planning Director stated that the issues with the screening and landscaping
were corrected and they meet the technical requirements.
IV.
Briefing on Water Customer Issues.
Melissa Valadez-Cummings presented to the City Council a briefing on Customer Water
Concerns. She stated she was very proud on how staff handled water customer
concerns. Each customer was handled very seriously and one at a time. She thanked
Joe Komisarz, the Utility Billing Director and stated that the City of Cedar Hill is very lucky
to have him due to the amazing work that he has done along with his staff.
The briefing included the big picture of system data and the presentations with the
public. Valadez-Cummings stated that every city in Texas has had water bill issues and
significant increases. Cities are responding in different degrees. A video from Channel
5, aired on September 27, 2015, was shown to explain and provide detail on why many
cities in Texas have had an increase in their water billing.
The extreme abnormality of the seasons is one of the reasons of why there was an
increase. Another reason is that last year there were restrictions on water usage and this
year there were no restrictions so there was no limit. Over the course of the last 12
months we have been installing AMI. In the Spring we were 90% complete and fully
completed by July 2015. There was a change from 5/8 by ¾ inch to 1” meters. This was
due to meters not registering high consumption during peak season. 1” meters were
recommended for Cedar Hill’s average consumer profile. The meter function is the
same. Cedar Hill has new meters and billing system. FOR FYE 14-16 the rates for water
are the same. The new system has an automatic metering infrastructure. The meter
transmitter transmits hourly consumption.
The function of a water meter involves water passing through the meter, which turns a
series of gears and gives a reading. The mechanical parts of the meter are not
capable of “speeding up” or registering a significantly higher than actual use. If there
are issues concerning a meter’s accuracy it would be because it is running slow, not
fast. All water meters are required to meet American Water Works Association (AWWA)
standards. Meters must be within 98.5% and 101.5% accuracy to be usable. Design of
water meters does not allow the City to manually adjust dials or the accuracy of the
meter.
Possible reasons for high waters bills include residential waters leaks, billing error, meter
inaccuracy (current or prior meter malfunction, increased water consumption (irrigation
and Summer watering). Those whose bills are several times higher than previously seen
with the older meters, the reasons could include previous meters were dramatically
under registering for regular or peak use. New accurate meters are a big change. A
water leak, a billing calculation or meter error, or peak seasonal use could also be a
reason that meters were under registering. In these situations, we are comparing the
water consumption to prior months and years, providing an hourly analysis, performing
Page 5
October 27, 2015
a manual calculation of water rates, manual meter re-read and residential water line
leak detection, and last resort would be an independent meter test.
Residents are encouraged to sign up to have an account analysis. The most evident
aspect of customer concerns is the presence of an irrigation system. For issues with the
irrigation system, consulting with an irrigation specialist is recommended. Citizens are
encouraged to register for FATHOM AMI Data.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin asked about September and August on the graph that was
presented, he asked if this graph is a representative of the principle that it’s one month
off, so if we are looking at the billing usage for September are we actually looking
August’s usage or September’s usage.
Assistant City Manager, Melissa Valadez-Cummings responded that it was September’s
billed for August’s usage.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin asked if you go back for a period of every month, from February
until July, we have sold less water until August and September. In September it has
more than doubled, is there an explanation of why we can go five months and see
consistent trending decreases including the hottest months of the year, and then see a
spike in September of that magnitude.
Assistant City Manager Melissa Valadez-Cummings and City Manager, Greg Porter
stated reasons that were shown in the presentation that explained that the seasonality
changing, people watering their lawns, leak problems, the weather data shows the
changes.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin stated that this was a very good presentation and there are
many different aspects that have contributed to the billing increase.
Council member Swayze stated that it was an excellent presentation.
Mayor Franke stated a couple of observations for City Council and a recommendation
for action. There are angry citizens and people who feel upset and it’s contingent on
us to do our due diligence through this. If there is a leak situation, staff already has
authority under the ordinance to make adjustments based on leaks, and
documentation that it has been repaired. The other issue they had a meter that did
not register water usage, and now they do have a water meter that does measure
water usage more accurately, are we willing to allow staff the flexibility to make
adjustments in the situations that it wasn’t the customer’s fault that the meter was an
inefficient system in the past and now it has been fixed. City Council has authorized the
City to proceed with a rate study that does require us to accumulate data on the new
billing system that requires time.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin and Council member Swayze stated that they would be in favor
of that.

home on the other side of the fence. He stated that when the City Council makes

to Cedar Hill but just not in the current location. He stated that his greatest

value that has gone down in any city with a funeral home.
VIII.

IX.
Regular Agenda:
Item 7 was to consider approving, in accordance with the Planning and Zoning
Commission’s recommendation, the Preliminary Plat and Plans for the Park Village
at Belt Line Addition, showing five (5) non-residential lots on 17.888 acres out of
Abstract 435, generally located at the north side of Belt Line Road between Joe
Wilson Road and Waterford Oaks Drive; requested by Charles Crook of Charles
Crook Consulting on behalf of Al Sani.
At the request of Mayor Franke, Item 7, a request to consider approving, in
accordance with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation, the
Preliminary Plat and Plans for the Park Village at Belt Line Addition, showing five (5)
non-residential lots on 17.888 acres out of Abstract 435, generally located at the
north side of Belt Line Road between Joe Wilson Road and Waterford Oaks Drive;
requested by Charles Crook of Charles Crook Consulting on behalf of Al Sani. was
removed from the Consent Agenda for separate consideration.
The representative and applicant were not in attendance.
Council member McCain had some questions about the way this was platted.
Rod Tyler, Planning Director, responded and stated what the applicant represented
to them. He stated that from his impression from the developers that their current
plan is that they have a pad site which is next door to Aldi and that they want to
sell and develop. Our ordinance requires preliminary plat the entire parent tract.
When they preliminary plat that property it is you giving them the authorization to
prepare final plats in accordance with that preliminary plat. They can final plat a
portion of it or the entirety of it, that’s up to them. After two years, that preliminary
plat expires unless they have built out the whole thing. This is giving them the
authorization to subdivide the land in that form. As far as the adjacency to the
residence, to the north, our ordinance requires a masonry wall between the nonresidential and the residential and it is the responsibility of the non-residential to
construct that when they build. When it comes to what goes there, that is
governed by zoning regulations not be subdivision plats so that is a determination
that the owner does not know yet. First thing that has to be done is you have to
prepare the plat, put in the infrastructures that support those lots, then you can
move forward. They are in compliance, staff has reviewed the plat and the plans
and staff believes that they are compliant with our subdivision regulations. If they
comply, then you have to approve. Any use that is allowed within the Local Retail
District, their allowed put there and that’s up to that property owner to come in
and comply with those regulations.
Mayor Franke had some questions about the gas transmission line easement that
crosses the southeast corner. He asked if that would be considered wasted land
because you cannot build on top of the easement.
Page 5
October 27, 2015
Rod Tyler responded and said that the easement on the property is written so that
the gas company can maintain their line. Typically those lines have been fairly
shallow, so if they want to put a development to cross over that line, they would
have to get permission from the gas company to do that. At this time, it would not
be considered waste space. It’s just a piece of land that’s encumbered with an
easement and the easement holder has the right to dictate what can go on that
with the confines of the easement.
Mayor Franke stated some concerns with the road curvature and the lanes being
very tight causing people to have a hard time navigating through. He wanted to
know if the City has any flexibility on how this is platted to help with that potential
challenge.
Rod Tyler stated that the applicant provided the access easements is to show that
they provided cross access which is one of the City of Cedar Hill’s requirements that
allows properties within the Local Retail district to move from one property to the
next without having to go out to a street which has to do with the connectivity
aspect. How the property develops when they do a site plan, unless it’s a
regulation that we already have, the property owner has the right to place the
parking lot and the maneuvering within it per their design. We do not have any
regulations that would prohibit them from putting a sharp corner in. We can make
comment when they come in for a site plan about turning movements and
convenience and if it is a traffic issue we can bring that up. But it’s a private
property it’s outside City authority.
Mayor Franke wants to encourage them to see the future vision of this.
Rod Tyler stated that the Planning Department would convey that there was some
discussion and questions about the future vision of how this property is platted. He
stated that the next step would be if the applicant final plats this it would be a final
plat and the engineer would be here to answer any questions.
Council member Haydin made a motion to approve this item; Council member
Swayze seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: 6 – Mayor Franke, Mayor Pro Tem Parvin, Council Members, Haydin,
Swayze, Mason, and Shaw.
Nays:
1 – Council Member McCain
1.
Case No. 2015-18 – Consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit for
a funeral home or mortuary within the “LR” – Local Retail zoning
district on Lot 1, Block A, Canyon Properties Addition, being 1.9405
acres located at 1395 N. Hwy 67; requested by Dedrick Jennings on
behalf of Sacred Funeral Home.
Page 6
October 27, 2015
Mayor Franke reminded the City Council on the background of this item. He stated
that the Planning and Zoning Commission denied this item at their meeting which
would necessitate a 2/3 majority of the City Council. He asked if the Planning
Department could provide some clarification on if a crematorium could be placed
at this site.
Rod Tyler addressed this question and stated that this is a mortuary, it is not a
cemetery. The City of Cedar Hill’s ordinance allows a crematory within the confines
of a cemetery. Recently, an ordinance amendment was adopted that would
allow a stand-alone crematorium but only within the Industrial District. What the
applicant is proposing is a funeral home which would not allow for a crematorium.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin asked the applicant on what is the average size for a funeral.
The applicant, Dedrick Jennings replied with stating that the average size for a
chapel service is between one hundred to one hundred and fifty people in
attendance.
Mayor Pro Tem Parvin stated his concern about the shopping center to the north of
Hwy 67 and asked if the parking and the size of the funeral service could infringe on
the shopping center. He asked the applicant if they would have any services or
events where the people would have to park on the frontage road or in the grass.
Dedrick Jennings stated that they would not anticipate that. He stated that the
discussion, earlier in the meeting, about banning all parking on Hwy 67 would
eliminate that. If they anticipated based on the person on if they needed a large
service, they would recommend that person to take it to a church. The applicant
said that if it grew larger without their knowledge then they have considered talking
to LaQuinta Inn which is next door, because they hope to partner with them in the
future.
Council member Mason asked about the traffic.
Dedrick Jennings stated that the larger traffic would happen maybe a minute
leaving the funeral home and going to the cemetery which that would happen
going down Hwy 67 service road then loop around on Joe Wilson Road and get on
Hwy 67 to go to the cemetery. He stated that he did not foresee there being a
traffic problem because of where the facility would be located. He met with the
citizens and their concerns and they tried to address on how they would alleviate
those problems if they occurred.

has met all of the requirements.

Council member McCain stated that she felt like she had a lack of information
because the paperwork that was provided to the City Council is still in reference to
August. She stated that the City Council relies heavily on the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and the information that was provided is still from their opinion from
August.
The Planning Director, Rod Tyler stood up to say that the documents that was in the
packet that is the corrected version. He stated that it shows the masonry wall on
the backside, it shows the landscape screening and the screening of the parking
lot from the street so it has all of the revised documents.
Council member McCain asked if this would go back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Rod Tyler responded that the decision is up to the City Council. He stated if the City
Council feels that there is a significant number of changes that they want the
Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation on it then it could be referred
back to the Commission. He stated typically he would discourage the Planning
and Zoning Commission from making a recommendation and bringing it to City
Council unless there were modifications that were going to result in a design
change.
Mayor Franke and Mayor Pro Tem Parvin stated that going forward that they hope
the applicant continues to work with the neighborhood and be sensitive to their
concerns and what their needs are.
Council Member Parvin moved to approve Regular Agenda Item 1. Council
member Mason seconded the motion. The motion was approved by a
unanimous vote.

CITY OF CEDAR HILL
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
Agenda Date:
November 10, 2015
Agenda Item Wording: Case No. 2015-26 – Consider approving, in accordance with the
Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation, the Site Plan of a retail building on Lot 2R
Block B, Pleasant Run Farms Addition, generally located on the northwest corner of J. Elmer
Weaver Freeway and Pleasant Run Rd; requested by Kylon M. Wilson P.E. of Bury, Inc. on behalf
of Cencor Realty, Inc.
Summary: Approval of this site plan will authorize the construction of an 8,877 sq. ft. retail
building next door to the Mattress Firm. A restaurant (Jason’s Deli) is planned to occupy 4,753
sq. ft. of the building and the remaining 4,124 sq. ft. will be for general retail.
The property is platted and is zoned “LR” Local Retail which allows these land uses. The site
plan considered by the P&Z complies with the “LR” zoning district standards except for the
following:
1)
The plan set contains drawings that are not consistent between sheets (i.e. the
landscape plan shows a different layout than the site plan);
2)
The parking provided on site is less than required by the Zoning Code; and
3)
The building elevations show metal paneling as an exterior construction material along
the south and west elevation; whereas, the “LR” district requires each elevation be
100% masonry unless an alternate material is approved by the City Council.
On October 20, 2015, the Planning & Zoning Commission considered this site plan, (see
attached minutes), and by a vote of 5-0, (two members absent), recommended its approval,
including the use of metal paneling on a portion of the building, subject to the following:
1)
The applicant submits revised plans that are consistent throughout the plan set;
2)
The applicant submit a parking agreement with the adjacent property owner that
dedicates the use of some of the existing parking spaces in favor of the subject lot; and
3)
City Council’s approval to use the metal paneling in lieu of masonry.
Per P&Z’s recommendation the plan set contained herein have been revised to be consistent
throughout the plan set.
Funding Source: N/A
Recommended Action: Concur with Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation and
approve this request subject to submitting a parking agreement and approval of the metal
paneling.

Case No. 15-26 – Review and consider the Site Plan of a retail building on Lot 2R Block B,
Pleasant Run Farms Addition, located on the northwest corner of J. Elmer Weaver Freeway
and Pleasant Run Rd; requested by Kylon M. Wilson P.E. of Bury, Inc. on behalf of Censor
Realty, Inc.
Mr. Don Gore, Sr. Planner delivered the staff report by stating the applicant is proposing to
construct a retail building totaling 8,877 sq. ft. of which 4,753 sq. ft. will be a Jason Deli and the
remainder 4,124 sq. ft. will be for retail space. Staff recommends approval of the proposed site
plan based upon the following conditions being addressed: the applicant will need to obtain
City Council’s approval for the use of metal paneling as an exterior construction material
along the south and west elevation; submit a parking agreement between the subject

property and the property to the west and revise the drive through configuration of the
associated plan to be consistent with the drive-through.
Mr. Alan Altick, Cencor Realty Services, Inc., 3102 Maple Ave., Ste. 500, Dallas came forward
and stated he was the representative of Lot 2R as well as the adjacent shopping center with a
parking agreement between the two properties which are co-owned. The Jason Deli stores
use trade dress panels in their stores which are of a high quality material.
Mr. Gary DeVleer, Hodges & Associates, 13642 Omega Dr., Farmers Branch, came forward and
indicated they are trying to make a design statement with the metal paneling material. There
is a concrete wall behind the material that complies with the zoning ordinance. Mr. DeVleer
passed around a sample of the paneling to the Commission.
Chairman Brooks asked: how the paneling adheres to the concrete; if for some reason Jason’s
Deli closed and another tenant came in, how difficult would it be to remove the paneling;
how does the material weather and will Jason’s Deli be serving alcohol now or in the future.
Mr. DeVleer indicated it is furred out with metal studs and then hang sheeting and apply the
metal panels to the sheeting which is about six (6) inches out from the panel. It would be very
easy to take the panel off if a new tenant came in. The material has a 20 year finish to it and
requires no maintenance.
Mr. Altick indicated Jason’s has not indicated they will be serving alcohol. This is a family type
restaurant.
Commissioner Martin asked: if the metal sheeting paneling will only be on Jason’s Deli or will it
be on the other businesses as well; if the facing on the other buildings are different what type
of material would be used and are there any vendors lined up for those businesses.
Mr. DeVleer indicated the other businesses will have a different material on their storefront.
The columns will be stone with the face being brick and textured coating concrete. The other
buildings are not currently leased.
Commissioner Martin made a motion to recommend approval of Case 15-26 subject to
submitting a parking agreement, revise the drive through configuration and obtaining City
Council’s approval of the metal paneling. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Thierry.
The vote was as follows:
Ayes:
Nays:
5 – Chairman Brooks, Commissioners, Martin, Hamilton, Thierry and Saldana.

Chairman Brooks declared the motion carried unanimously.

Case No. 15-26
Staff Report and Recommendation
Site Plan for a Retail Building at Cedar Hill Pointe
P&Z DATE:
October 20, 2015
APPROVAL PROCESS: After considering the site plan with respect to the standards stated in
Section 2.6.2, the commission by a simple majority of the members present, shall render a
recommendation to City Council. If the Commission recommends approval, the submitted
site plan application will be considered by City Council on November 10, 2015. Final
approval of a Site Plan serves as authorization for the Building Official to issue a building
permit that is consistent with the approved Site Plan.
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a retail building with 4,124 sq. ft.
retail space, and 4,753 sq. ft. restaurant (Jason’s Deli) totaling 8,877sq. ft. on 1.166 acres,
located at the northwest corner of J. Elmer Weaver Freeway & Pleasant Run Rd. The
property is zoned “LR” – Local Retail, which allows retail and restaurant uses.
In summary, the submitted site plan will comply given the applicant obtain approval from
City Council for the use of metal paneling and obtain a parking agreement with the
adjacent property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed site plan if the
applicant satisfies all the conditions below prior to the issuance of a building permit:
1. The applicant obtain City Council approval for the use of metal paneling as an
exterior construction material along the south and west elevation.
2. The applicant submit a parking agreement between the subject property and the
property to the west.
3. The applicant revise the drive through configuration of the all associated plan to be
consistent with the drive-through.
ZONING AND LAND USES:
Subject Property – Undeveloped property / zone LR
MAYOR, ROB FRANKE • MAYOR PRO TEM, CHRIS PARVIN • DANIEL C. HAYDIN, JR. • STEPHEN MASON •
JAMI MCCAIN • CLIFFORD R. SHAW • WALLACE SWAYZE • CITY MANAGER, GREG PORTER
CedarHillTX.COM
North – Pleasant Run Farms retail center and Bamboo Palace / zoned LR
East -
Mattress Firm / zoned LR
South – Resource One Credit Union and Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant / zoned LR
West – Pleasant Run Farms retail strip center/ zoned LR
Discussion: The applicant is proposing to use the subject property for retail use. The property is
within the “LR” – Local Retail District, and the site and layout plans are consistent with the
zoning district’s standards. Currently, the subject property is platted and has adequate public
utilities to serve the subject property for development.
EXTERNAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: The Zoning Ordinance requires buildings within the
Local Retail zoning district to have 100% masonry. Section 5.7.1 defines masonry as stone,
brick, CMU, tilt wall or Stucco. The submitted elevations show 100% masonry construction
materials on all elevations except for 15% of the south and 40% of the west elevation. The
applicant has indicated the use of the metal panel as a branding element for the Jason’s Deli
franchise. The metal paneling would be cosmetic, as the metal paneling would be masking
concrete tilt wall. The Zoning Ordinance gives the City Council the authority to approve
alternative exterior building materials through the site plan process. Consideration for
exceptions to the required exterior construction materials should be based upon: architectural
design/creativity, compatibility with surrounding properties, and for historic designs such as
Victorian or English Tudor styles as stated in Section 5.7.2.B.3.
LANDSCAPING:
The landscape standard requires 20% of the street yard of the subject property to be
permanently landscaped. The subject property’s minimum required landscaping is 5,620 sq.
ft., and the landscaped plan shows 8,000 sq. ft. of landscaped area. The landscape plan
complies with this requirement.
The landscape standard also requires a certain minimum number of three inch caliper trees
depending on the size street yard. In this instance, the ordinance requires a minimum of 13
trees. This landscape plan shows 13 trees within the street yard; therefore, this landscape plan
complies with the minimum number of trees required.
The landscape ordinance requires parking lots and vehicle use areas be screened from public
streets with a 3ft high screening device such as a masonry wall, continuous hedge or earthen
berm. The landscape plan shows the parking areas being screened with Texas Sage along
Pleasant Run; therefore the landscape plan complies with these and all other landscape
requirements outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.
The configuration of the site plan’s drive through configuration is different from the
landscaping plan. Although the proposed landscape plan complies with landscaping
requirements outlined in the Zoning Ordinance, Staff recommends the applicant provide
associated plans to be consistent with the site plan.
Since the subject property has only one tree, which will remain, the applicant is not required
to mitigate any trees at this time.
LIGHTING & SCREENING: Section 5.3 Screening Requirements in the Zoning Ordinance,
requires a masonry screening device between residential and non-residential districts. The
properties surrounding the subject property are zoned local retail; therefore, the applicant is
not responsible in constructing a screening device at this time.
The applicant will be responsible for complying with Section 5.6 Light & Glare Standards within
the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has provided a note stating that all lighting will be in
conformance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and all lighting will be dark sky
compliant.
This site plan complies with Cedar Hill Lighting and Screening requirements.
PARKING:
The submitted site plan shows 2,897 sq. ft. of retail space and 4,753 sq. ft. of
restaurant space. The Zoning Ordinance requires retail uses to have one (1) parking space for
every 200 sq. ft. of gross area of the building, and restaurant uses to have one (1) parking
space for every 100 sq. ft. In this case given the square footage of each use, the required
number of parking spaces for the site is 68. The submitted site plan shows 56 parking spaces
provided on the site; however, the applicant is planning on obtaining a parking agreement
with the property to the west. Section 5.1.8. of the Zoning ordinance allows for off-site parking
if the lot is contiguous to the subject property and a parking lease agreement is provided
between the two owners. Prior to the obtaining the building permit, staff recommends the
applicant provide a copy of the parking agreement between the two property owners.
ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The submitted site plan shows an access drive along Pleasant Run
with an internal fire lane and mutual access drives to provide internal circulation.
The Zoning Ordinance requires 6 stacking spaces for each drive-through window beginning
at the menu board or the first vehicle stop. The submitted site plan shows a drive-through with
the required 6 stacking spaces beginning at the menu board. The submitted site plan
complies with this requirement.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS:
Sidewalks: The Subdivision Ordinance requires sidewalks along all publicly dedicated
roadways except for industrial zoned districts and along Hwy 67.
Given, the required
sidewalks are existing along Pleasant Run, the applicant is not responsible for the construction
of sidewalks at this time.
Road Improvements: The Subdivision Ordinance requires the applicant to improve the
existing substandard road or construct a new road for inaccessible lots. The plan shows no
unimproved roads adjacent to the property. Since all lots have access off of an improved
road; the applicant is not responsible for constructing any roads at this time. The proposed
plan complies with this requirement.
Utilities: The proposed utility plan shows the proposed building connecting to an existing 8”
water line, and 6” sanitary sewer line to gain access to public utilities. The City Engineer has
reviewed the proposed site plan with regards to emergency access, and has no concerns at
this time.
DRAINAGE: The proposed grading and drainage plans for storm water is existing, and the
drainage for the site has been accounted for with the Cedar Hill Point Subdivision. The
applicant has complied with the City’s Ordinances as it terms of drainage.
