Ordinance Approving a Record Plat of Ashford Place PUD Unit Two-C

end

 

BACKGROUND:

Forestar, the developer, is requesting the approval of a Record Plat for Ashford Place Subdivision Unit Two-C, which is located east of County Line Road and south of Caton Farm Road at Legacy Pointe Boulevard. Forestar purchased Ashford Place Unit Two and Whisper Glen Unit Two and has contracted D.R. Horton, a national home construction company, to build out the remaining 241 single family residential lots in both of these subdivisions in phases. Existing zoning is R-2 (single-family residential).

 

The Record Plat for Unit Two-C is consistent with the previously approved Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development for Ashford Place Subdivision, which were approved by the City Council on January 18, 2022. Unit Two-C is approximately 12.86 acres in size and will have 44 single-family house lots.

 

D.R. Horton is currently completing construction in Ashford Place Unit Two-A and Ashford Place Unit Two-B. The proposed plat is subject to the previously-approved conditions related to minimum house size, architectural features, key lots, landscaping and screening at east and west property lines per the Ashford Place Unit 1, and Ashford Place Unit One-A, and Unit Two-A and Unit Two-B agreements. The developer / builder will need to seek additional approvals from the City should any substantial changes be requested for elevations, landscaping, etc. The subdivision will adhere to previously approved landscaping plans, anti-monotony ordinance and minimum brick requirements. For Ashford Place Unit Two, at least fifty percent (50%) of the dwelling units shall have a minimum of 25% of the front elevations comprised of brick or stone.

 

The Plan Commission staff report for Ashford Place Planned Unit Development Unit Two can be found as an attachment.

 

CONCLUSION:

Approval of the recording plat request will allow continued residential development in this subdivision.
