^. ITEM 2 CASE #07-04-PP — CONSIDER A PRELIMINARY PLAT
Consider a request for a Preliminary Plat changing T. Jasper Survey, A-
861, Tract 5F1 to Jasper Addition, Block 5, Lots 1 and 2. This property is
located in the 2100 block of W. Airport Freeway.
Chris Barker, Planning and Development Manager, gave a brief description of the case.
The applicants, ABAUSA, Inc. and Khurrum Trading Corporation, both represented by
Alex Bhatti, are requesting approval of a preliminary plat for the sub-division of a 1.50
acre tract to create two commercial zoned lots of 0.80 acres (to be owned by Khurrum
Trading Corporation) and 0.69 acres (to be owned by ABAUSA, Inc). The subject
property is located on the south side of Airport Freeway between Dock McGinnis Drive
to the west and Dana Kay Drive to the east. The Planning and Zoning commission had
previously considered essentially this same preliminary plat and recommended approval
of Case #05-02-PP on April 19, 2005. Due to issues relating to financing, and TxDOT
permitting, the applicant was unable to install and have accepted public improvements
prior to the expiration of Case #05-02-PP on April 19, 2007. With approval of this
preliminary plat and the associated site plan (Case #07-03-SP) concurrently before you,
the applicant is now ready to proceed with the project.
Chris Barker stated the applicant's representative, Alex Bhatti, was available for any
questions.
Chairman McNeese asked staff if this development will cause any drainage issues.
Robert Barker, City Engineer, stated the applicant will do some off site drainage grading
to the west and work with the property owners.
Commissioner Bearden asked if there will be an agreement with property owners.
Robert Barker stated the City will require a notarized letter for permission to do any
grading off site.
Commissioner Huffman made a motion to approve case #07-04-PP. Commissioner
Bearden seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Vice Chairman May, Commissioners Zahn, Huffman,
Portugal, Bearden, Bynum
Nays: None
Abstention: None
The motion carried (7-0-0)
