Re: Waiver Request —Nelson Ranch Final Plat
Council Members:
We have submitted a final plat for consideration by the City Council at an upcoming meeting. We
respectfully request that this final plat be approved with a waiver to the following requirement:
Section 9.02.081(0) 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.
Section 9.02.081(p) Maximum length of cul-de-sac streets. A cul-de-sac street shall not be longer
than 600 feet, and at the closed end shall have a turnaround bulb with an outside pavement
diameter of at least 80 feet and a right -of --way diameter of at least 100 feet. The length of a cul-de-
sac shall be measured from the centerline of the intersecting street to the center point of the cul-de-
sac bulb.
Division 9. Tables and Diagrams. Indicates that residential collector streets shall be 60 feet in width.
This waiver is requested based on the following:
A. The already existing private road is surrounded by other property owners, leaving us no
opportunity to expand it to a 60-foot right-of-way.
B. Our lot is completely surrounded by other lots which are owned by other property owners
leaving us no way to connect to any other roadway or access. This is a unique piece of property
in a unique situation.
C. Additionally, the already existing private road is past 1,000 feet all the way up to the property
line.
We appreciate your consideration of this waiver request and approval of the final plat.
Sincerely,
Sandy &Steve Nelson

Subdivision Ordinance —Street Waiver Request
MEMO No: 22-PWD-004
Date: March 1, 2022

Re: Nelson Ranch Final Plat —ETJ Development
Steven Nelson has submitted a final plat for Nelson Ranch, a new single family residential
subdivision located on the south side of FM 455, approximately 1,951 feet west of Houston
Street, in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Anna, Texas.
The City requires all proposed subdivisions in the ETJ to meet the City of Anna Subdivision
Regulations, which include specific requirements for public streets and lot frontage for
residential properties.
The applicant is proposing anon -standard method of meeting the City's Subdivision Ordinance
requirements due to the fact that the property is land locked. The applicant is proposing a
3,300 foot long private drive which will extend from FM 455 to the southern -most proposed
residential lot.
Section 9.02.081(0) of the City of Anna Subdivision Ordinance states:
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.
Section 9.02.081(p) %0 the City of Anna Subdivision Ordinance states:
Maximum length of cul-de-sac streets. A cul-de-sac street shall not be longer than 600
feet, and at the closed end shall have a turnaround bulb with an outside pavement
diameter of at least 80 feet and a right -of --way diameter of at least 100 feet. The length
of a cul-de-sac shall be measured from the centerline of the intersecting street to the
centerpoint of the cul-de-sac bulb.
The developer has requested a waiver of the 1,200-foot requirement for the maximum length
of any block or street segment. He is also requesting a waiver of the maximum length of a cuk
de -sac street, which is 600 feet. Finally, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the 60400t
width requirement for a residential collector street for the section of private drive through the
existing 20400t wide access strip of land he has connecting the property to FM 455.
The City of Anna Public Works Department has reviewed the waiver request, City Ordinances,
and considered any potential impacts this waiver may have on the property. Staff has also
reviewed the potential negative impacts to Nelson Ranch Subdivision if the waiver is not
granted.
Staff Findings:
• The requested waiver is required for the applicant to meet City requirements for new
subdivisions. The lack of access to public streets makes the subject tract extremely
difficult to subdivide in a way which would be consistent with City of Anna standards.
• Not granting the waivers and extensions of maximum lengths will result in the project
being unable to be completed as intended by the applicant.
• The property is located in the Westminster Fire District. Granting the extension may
create significant challenges for public safety response to all of the proposed residential
lots. Any public safety response impacts should be considered by the Planning &Zoning
Commission and the City Council to be self-inflicted consequences of the applicant's
request.
Staff finds that the proposed project is located in the unincorporated portion of Collin County
and within the Westminster Fire District. As such, the development has very little impact on
the resources and staff of the City of Anna.
Staff recommends approvals of the waivers based solely on the understanding that both Collin
County and Westminster Fire District are the primary service providers for the property, and as
such should be the primary decision makers on allowing structures and homes to be built in the
proposed lots.
