CC - Memo From Planning
July 15, 2019
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Clerk, Bill Nary
FROM: Bill Parsons, Planning Supervisor
RE: Three Corners Ranch (H-2019-0006)
July 16th, City Council Meeting
On June 25, 2019, the City Council continued this project to address three (3) issues. This afternoon the
Applicant’s Legal Counsel provided a summary and support documents to address the list of Council’s concerns.
Below Staff has listed the three (3) items left open for discussion and provided commentary on each of them.
1. Improved safety along Dunwoody Court. The residents and the applicant have not reached consensus on
this issue. The resident’s desire a complete street with curb, gutter and sidewalks on both sides, which
would necessitate a rebuild of the street. ACHD staff is amenable to a 4-foot wide striped path on each
side of the road or an 8-foot wide striped path on one side and striped travel lanes. No parking signs
would be placed along both sides of the roadway. The applicant is also willing to remove the overgrown
vegetation and install three (3) street lights and stripe the roadway and install no parking signs per ACHD
standards;
2. Revisions to the plat as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. A revised plat was
received this afternoon. The revision only includes the extension of the north/south segment of the private
street that aligns with N. Shandee Drive. The required street buffer and sidewalk along W. Guiness Street
are not included on the revised plan; and
3. Improvements related to the Karnes Lateral that bisects the property. During the hearing, there was public
testimony about access to the head gate from the Miller property, piping the lateral with the easement
remaining on a portion of the buildable lots and not in a common lot, and obtaining plan approval from
the Karnes Lateral. Today, Staff received an exhibit that depicts the rerouting of the Karnes Lateral. The
rerouting of the Karnes Lateral would affect Lots 20, 41, and Lots 30-35, Block 1 with a 20-foot wide
easement. A meeting was held the Karnes Lateral Association about the improvements to the lateral. A
summary of the meeting notes does accompany the resubmittal. Staff was unable to discuss the changes
with Mr. Miller but he should be able to access the delivery area from his property as some of the
improvements to the lateral affect his property.
All of the support documents have been forwarded to the Clerk’s office to be included as part of the public record
and City Council’s review.
