City Council Agenda
Staff Report
Meeting Date: 6/10/2025
Staff Contact: Lauren Mecke
AGENDA ITEM:
Approve a Resolution regarding Surdukan City, Block A, Lot 1, Development Plat (DP
25-0002)(Planning Manager Lauren Mecke)
SUMMARY:
One residential lot located on 13.5± acres, 460± feet east of County Road 480, 1,500±
feet north of W. Houston Street (FM 2862). Located in the ETJ.
The applicant is requesting to appeal the Planning & Zoning Commission's denial of a
Development Plat with four waivers from Article 9.02 Subdivision Regulations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This item has no financial impact.
BACKGROUND:
This is an appeal of the Planning & Zoning Commission's denial of the
Development Plat.
At the May 27, 2025 Council Meeting, staff presented the Council with a Resolution for
denial. City Council directed staff to bring this item back to the June 10, 2025 Council
Meeting.
At the May 5, 2025 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, the Commission voted 7-0
to recommend denial of the requested waivers and the Development Plat to the City
Council because the Development Plat is not in conformance with the following sections
of Article 9.02 Subdivision Regulations:
• Sec. 9.02.087(b),
• Sec. 9.02.081(c)(1),
• Sec. 9.02.081(c)(6), and
• Sec. 9.02.081(o).
The property does not have frontage on County Road 480 or platted access easements.
The property lies between Elm Grove Cemetery to the west and Elm Grove Creek to the
east. Portions of the northern and southern property line and the entirety of the eastern
property line abut the Collin County Adventure Camp. The property owner also owns
one of the residential properties abutting the northern property line.
As illustrated on Exhibit A (Development Plat), the applicant is proposing to build eight
dwelling units, three barns, and 14 accessory buildings on one lot. Per the Subdivision
Regulations, the development of unplatted property in the ETJ requires the property to
be platted by a Development Plat. The Development Plat must meet the City's
Subdivision Regulations.
Waivers Requested
The applicant is requesting a waiver from:
Sec. 9.02.081(c) Adequacy of Streets and Thoroughfares -
(1) Responsibility for the adequacy of streets and thoroughfares.
The property owner shall ensure that the subdivision is served by adequate streets
and thoroughfares, and shall be responsible for the costs of rights-of-way and street
improvements, in accordance with the following policies and standards, and subject
to the City’s cost participation policies on oversized facilities.
The applicant is not proposing a new street within the development despite the large
number of dwellings being proposed.
Sec. 9.02.081(c)(6) Street Dedications -
(A) Dedication of Right-of-Way
The developer shall dedicate all rights-of-way required for existing or future streets,
and for all required street improvements, including perimeter streets and approach
streets, as shown in the comprehensive plan and as required by the design
standards or by other valid development plans approved by City Council.
The applicant is not proposing a new street within the development. The applicant is
proposing an access easement through the property that would exceed the Fire
Department's maximum length without an approved turn-around.
Sec. 9.02.081(o) Maximum and Minimum Length of Block or Street Segments -
The maximum length of any block or street segment, including a looped street, shall
be 1,200 feet and the minimum length of any block or street segment shall be 400
feet, as measured along the street centerline and between the point(s) of intersection
with other through streets. A cul-de-sac or dead-end street shall not be considered a
through street. The block length is not measured along the side of a block that does
not include the front of any lot.
The applicant is proposing an access easement within the tract that exceeds the
1,200-foot length even if it were to be a dedicated street.
Sec. 9.02.087(b) Lots -
(b) Minimum frontage on a public street. Each lot on a subdivision plat shall front onto
a dedicated, improved public street, unless platted as an approved private street
subdivision in accordance with these subdivision regulations. All lots shall have a
minimum of 40 feet of frontage along the property line of a dedicated, improved street
unless other provisions have been authorized under article 9.04 or an approved
planned development district.
The tract as it exists today does not front onto a public or private street nor does it
have a platted road or access easement.
Staff Recommendation
Sec. 9.02.047(e) provides the Standards of Approval for Development Plats as follows:
The development plat shall not be approved until the following standards have been
satisfied:
(1) The proposed development conforms to all City plans, including but not limited to,
the Comprehensive Plan, utility plans, and applicable capital improvements plans;
(2) The proposed development conforms to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
(if located within the City's corporate limits) and these subdivision regulations;
(3) The proposed development is adequately served by public facilities and services,
parks, and open space, to the extent necessary based on the nature of the
development, and in conformance with City regulations;
(4) The proposed development will not create a safety hazard on a public street (such
as by not providing adequate on-site parking or vehicle maneuvering space for a
restricted-access/gated entrance);
(5) Appropriate agreements for acceptance and use of public dedications to serve the
development have been tendered; and
(6) The proposed development conforms to the design and improvement standards
contained in these subdivision regulations and in the City's design standards, and to any
other applicable codes or ordinances of the City that are related to development of a
land parcel.
According to Sec. 9.02.002, the purpose for the adoption of the Subdivision Regulations
includes, but is not limited to:
- To protect and provide for the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City.
- To ensure safety from fire, flood, and other danger and to prevent overcrowding of the
land and undue congestion of the population.
The applicant is proposing to develop the site with eight small homes and associated
accessory structures. The site can only be accessed by a private, unpaved driveway
that goes through the applicant's property to the north. Additionally, there are no platted
access easements from any surrounding property to the site to provide adequate
access from the road to the site. Staff have recommended that the applicant build a
road through his property fronting County Road 480 to the site and secure an
emergency access easement from Elm Grove Cemetery to the west to obtain a required
second point of access. The applicant has expressed that he has no intention of
building a road to city standards but would construct a fire lane that exceeds the
maximum length without an approved turn-around to ensure adequate public safety and
trash removal access to the site. The development of this site as proposed would violate
the purpose of the Subdivision Regulations, which is to protect the public safety and
general welfare of the community.
Due to the number of proposed dwelling units on the tract and the limited access, staff
recommended denial of the requested waivers and of the Development Plat.

SUMMARY:
Staff recommends approving a Resolution ratifying and authorizing the Anna
Community Development Corporation to enter into a loan agreement with Government
Capital Corporation to refinance land acquisition.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Not to exceed - $2,440,000
BACKGROUND:
In 2022, the City Council and CDC-EDC Board conducted a joint workshop and
identified downtown property acquisition as a key priority. To advance this initiative, the
CDC selected five parcels, totaling approximately 2.1 acres, located at the northeast
corner of FM 455 and W. 8th Street for purchase. On January 9, 2024, the City Council
approved a Resolution to finance these properties through Lamar Bank.
The Anna CDC Board held a Public Hearing on May 1, 2025, and on May 22, 2025,
approved a Resolution authorizing a loan with Government Capital Corporation not to
exceed $2,440,000. This loan will be used to retire the existing loan with Lamar Bank
and construct a future parking lot, ensuring the continued progress of the property
development at Powell Parkway and W. 8th Street.
On May 22, 2025, the CDC Board directed staff to allocate the funds designated for
Downtown Land Acquisition in the 2025 CDC Budget toward reducing the principal on
the Government Capital Loan.
The item was also published in the newspaper on April 20, 2025.
