Body
BACKGROUND:
MCO1 Land, Ltd is the owner of a 15.156 acre tract of land located on the south line of Wittington Place approximately 289 feet west of Senlac Drive. The property is presently part of a Block D, Westside Addition Section 1 and the owners are requesting to re-plat their property as MBP West, Lot 1, Block A.
Building improvements are presently under construction and will be leased to Monitronics who presently headquarter at another location in Farmers Branch.
DISCUSSION:
A developer's contract associated with this final plat is necessary to provide for the future construction of certain improvements related to the development, including a public pedestrian trail, and funding for future traffic signalization at Wittington Place and Luna Road. The developer's contract also includes open space maintenance provisions for adjacent lands under the jurisdiction of Valwood Improvement Authority.
An offsite water line easement is required for the installation of a water line that will serve the property. An easement document for the water line utility has been executed and is being donated to the City by the adjacent property owner, Mercer Crossing Land, Ltd.
Resolution No. 2014-077 approves the developer's contract with MCO1 Land Ltd and authorizes acceptance of the Water Line Easement.
The final plat of MBP West, Lot 1, Block A was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 8, 2014. The proposed re-plat is consistent with the City's platting requirements and Texas Local Government Code. It is also consistent with the City's Core Value No.3 to provide strong, thriving commercial and residential neighborhoods through planning, land use, development, code enforcement, revitalization activities and programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends final plat approval of MBP West, Lot 1, Block A and City Administration recommends approving Resolution No. 2014-077 authorizing the City Manager to execute a Developer's Contract for said development and accepting an offsite water line easement donated to the City by Mercer Crossing Land, Ltd.
