CONSIDERATION & ACTION: Final Plat for Lots 1-5, Block 1, Nolte Addition, being 29.99 acres, David Addington Survey, Abstract No. 21, in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Willow Park, Parker County, Texas. Commissioner Smith questioned the items that he asked about on the Preliminary Plat with regard to the county easement for access to Lot 5 between Lots 1 & 2; and, the availability of water and sewer to all lots. Fisher responded that water and sewer was shown to be accessible to all lots, but these would not be shown on the Final Plat. She stated that she was not familiar with the width of the county's easement, which Commissioner Smith said was 60', leaving less than 10' to access Lot 5. Commissioner Weikert commented that, although narrow, a 9' wide driveway could still be created. Fisher also stated that the Applicant was presented with Staff comments not yet addressed or shown on the Plat: 1) there is a drive labeled Bankhead Cove on Google maps, but it is not shown on the Plat, so an inquiry was made as to its legitimacy or abandonment; and 2) question as to whether the property owner want to give an additional 15' right-of-way for, what will likely be, the future expansion and widening of E. Bankhead Hwy. Fisher explained that, according to the Thoroughfare Plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan, E. Bankhead Hwy is to be a minor arterial road, which will call for 90' right-of-way; the Final Plat shows the current county road right-of-way requirement of 60'. Fisher recommended that the Commissoners approve the Final Plat with right-of-way conditions. Commissioner Smith made the motion to approve the Final Plat with conditions of the additional right-of-way, and for consideration of the Lot 5 access, dependent on Fisher's research. Motion made by Smith, Seconded by Weikert.
