like to build an office building. There are three vacant lots; the south two lots are already
zoned C-4 and the north lot is R-3. In order to build the office building, they need the north
lot rezoned to C-4. Parking will be on the north lot under consideration for the rezoning.

be on Missouri and exit through the paved alley.

Staff Comments:
Mr. Morris: This request is compatible with the area and provides a nice transitional use
from straight commercial located on Second Street and a buffer to the residential to the

with the exchange of impacts. Staff supports this request for rezoning.

into a Subdivision to be known as Aspen Estates from a Portion of Lot 1 in Block 3 of Willow
Acres Redivision in the ETZ Rural Suburban Zoning District. Legal Description: Subd: WILLOW

4. CASE 20-011 FPLAT: A request for approval of a Final Plat to subdivide a 10.5 acre lot into a
Subdivision to be known as Aspen Estates from a Portion of Lot 1 in Block 3 of Willow Acres
Redivision in the ETZ Rural Suburban Zoning District. Legal Description: Subd: WILLOW ACRES
REDIV Block: 3 Lot: 1 S2N2 / N2S2 S: 19 T: 10S R: 24E BK:834 PG:694 WD. ADDRESS: 1 McKay
Place (at Aspen Avenue and W 27th Street). (OWNER: JMCG, LLC / AGENT: Smith Engineering

be known as Aspen Estates from a Portion of Lot 1 in Block 3 of Willow Acres Redivision in the
ETZ Rural Suburban Zoning District
Commissioner Aguilar MOTIONED to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts and
Land Use and Zoning Considerations with respect to Cases 20-010 and 20-011.
Seconded by Commissioner Henderson. The motion passed by a voice vote of five to
zero with Commissioners Lessard and McDaniel being absent.
Chair Storey: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Cases: 20-010 PPLAT AND 20-
011 FPLAT?
Mike Douglas with Smith Engineering, Agent for the Owners of 1 McKay Place: This replat
is for the 10.5 acre parcel at 1 McKay Place on Aspen Avenue between Country Club Road
and Mescalero Road. This area was subdivided in 1960 and again in 1983 except this parcel.
The parcels around it were subdivided into one-acre parcels. The residential dwelling on this
parcel had fallen into disrepair and has been demolished. The owners hope to subdivide the
10.5 acre parcel into 1.5 to 1.9 acre parcels. The parcel under consideration is outside the
city limits in the ETZ and still in the City of Roswell’s planning and platting jurisdiction. Last
Tuesday (June 16, 2020) the Extraterritorial Commission (ETZ) approved a variance from the
5 acre minimum lot size in size. If approved tonight, it still needs approval from City Council
and the County Commission.
Mr. Morris: This subdivision is consistent with land use patterns in the area. Provision of
utilities has been taken into consideration as was the compatibility with the surrounding
land uses. Planning Staff recommends approval.
Mr. Najar: City of Roswell 8” water line dead-ends at the southeast corner of the property.
The developer will install the transmission line at the developer’s cost north from the end of
the existing 8” water line and west into the cul-de-sac where the line will dead-end. Smith
Engineering’s analysis of the line that will dead-end into the cul-de-sac found there will be
sufficient pressure for fire protection to properties in the cul-de-sac. Smith Engineering will
oversee construction of the transmission line that will meet City of Roswell Specifications.
Once installed and approved to specifications, City of Roswell will take over maintenance of
the 8” water line and the line into the cul-de-sac and the smart water meters to be installed
when the lots are developed. Other developers will be able to extend the transmission line
further north. The cost of water meters in Chaves County and the monthly service fee will
be double the rate per City of Roswell ordinances. This project has been to the
Infrastructure Committee twice. The lots will have to contract with private solid waste. Since
the nearest sewer main is down around Cielo Grande there will be no sewer available; each
lot owner will be responsible for obtaining a permit from the New Mexico Environmental
Department and installation of a septic system. The cul-de-sac will be a dedicated street.
Mr. Douglas: The street will remain as a private road for now. The County might accept the
road for maintenance purposes in the future if the property owners complete the chip
sealing and the road meets the County’s standards.
Chair Storey: Is there anyone wishing to speak against Cases: 20-010 PPLAT AND 20-011
FPLAT?
Against: None
MOTION – 20-010 PPLAT
Commissioner Henderson MOTIONED to approve Case Number 20-010, a Preliminary
Plat for Aspen Estates in the ETZ. Seconded by Commissioner Aguilar. The motion
passed by a voice vote of five to zero with Commissioners Lessard and McDaniel being
absent.
MOTION – 20-011 FPLAT
Commissioner Aguilar MOTIONED to approve Case Number 20-011, a Final Plat for
Aspen Estates in the ETZ along with the land use and zoning considerations, finding of
facts, staff recommendations, and testimony we have received this evening. Seconded
by Commissioner MacCornack. The motion passed by a voice vote of five to zero with
Commissioners Lessard and McDaniel being absent.

III. Intent of Petition:
The property owner and agent are requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat and Final Plat to
subdivide an approximately 10.5 acre parcel in the Chaves County Extraterritorial Zone (ETZ) Rural
Suburban Zoning District with a private street, septic systems, irrigation wells for the pecan trees,
and City water.
IV. Land Use and Zoning Considerations:
1. The vacant property under consideration is currently zoned Chaves County ETZ Rural
Suburban and is located in the vicinity east of Sycamore Avenue and north of Country Club
Road.
2. The parcel is approximately 10.5 acres. Six lots of approximately 1.5 to 1.9 acres in size
are proposed to be created in the Aspen Estates Subdivision (determined to be a Major
Subdivision due to construction of a street)
3. Aspen Avenue is considered a Local Street. Twenty-Seventh Street dead-ends at Aspen
Avenue and will be extended into the subdivision as a private cul-de-sac to provide access
to the 6 lots.
4. The property is classified as X on the FEMA Maps (not in a flood hazard area).
5. A City water main is available from Country Club Road along the western right-of-way of
Aspen Avenue to the southeast corner of the property under consideration where a fire
hydrant and water valves are located. The Developer will extend the Water Main to 27th
Street so each of the 6 lots will have access to City Water. (See Engineering and Utilities
letter on the last page of this document.)
6. A copy of the proposed subdivision plat is provided on the second to last page of this
document.
7. On June 16, 2020, the ETZ Commission approved Case SD 2020-2 for a variance to the 5-
acre minimum lot size for the subdivision under consideration. The ETZ Commission
Packet included the Civil Engineering drawings and details. This variance granted by the
ETZ Commission allows the smaller 1.5 to 1.9 acre lot size per the following Land Use
Goals in the Chaves County Comprehensive Plan Amended 2016:
Goal 4.5 “smaller lots in transitional area of the ETZ that allow flexible growth;” and
Goal 4.8 “provide a rational transition between urban and rural development with the
ETZ.”

V. Findings of Fact (Conclusions of Law):
1. A notice of the time and place of the public hearing for this case was published in the
Roswell Daily Record at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of this hearing.
2. Notification of the public hearing was mailed via certified mail with return receipt
requested to property owners of record, as shown by the Chaves County Assessor, with
lots or land within one-hundred (100) feet of the area under consideration, excluding
public rights-of-way.
3. This agenda which includes this case has been posted at City Hall and on the City of
Roswell’s website for over seventy-two (72) hours as required by State of New Mexico law
for a public hearing.
4. As of the time of this writing, the Planning & Zoning Office has received zero (0) written
protests and zero (0) verbal protests.
VI. Staff Recommendation:
Based on the findings of fact; nature of the proposed land use consideration; lot size,
conditions, and configuration; surrounding land uses and zoning districts; adjacent rural
suburban properties; and the regulations established in the Zoning Ordinance; Staff
recommends approval of Zoning Case 20-010 PPlat and Zoning Case 20-011 FPLAT to
subdivide the 10.5 acre parcel into 6 lots. Further, Staff recommends the P&Z Commission
submit Final Plat Case 20-011 FPLAT to City Council with the recommendation to approve the
zoning case.
VII. Action by the Planning & Zoning Commission:
The Planning and Zoning Commission may make a motion to approve or deny these two
applications based on Findings of Fact, Land Use and Zoning Considerations, and testimony
and material introduced at the hearing, with or without specified conditions.
Staff requests two separate motions, a motion for each case:
20-010 PPLAT
20-011 FPLAT (which will be forwarded to City Council.)
