Title
Approving a Revised Preliminary Plan for Park at Blackhawk IV; affecting 28.99 acres of land out of the George Grimes Survey No. 33 and V.W. Swearengen Survey No. 32, in Travis County, Texas. (PP1407-01)
Summary
The property is located in the ETJ, generally southwest of the Rowe Lane and Hodde Lane intersection in the northeastern portion of the Blackhawk development. The Park at Blackhawk IV preliminary plan was originally approved in 2007. The sixth amendment to the development agreement extended the life of the preliminary plan for 10 years following the date of the approved preliminary plan and an additional 10 years following approval of a final plat. The proposed revision provides adjustment to Phase 5A, portions of Phase 5B, and Phases 7A and 7B. The revision has a net increase of 41 lots with the reconfiguration of the lot sizes, which generally reduces many of the lot widths in Phases 7A and 7B to 55 feet as allowed in the development agreement, but maintains a 120-ft lot depth. The reconfiguration of the 5.23-acre tract in Phase 5A adds 22 single-family homes and two small road segments. The remaining roadway configuration remains as originally approved in 2007 with access from Rowe Ln and Speidel Dr.
A cumulative update to the transportation impact analysis was required with the seventh amendment. While the lot count revisions to Park at Blackhawk IV and VI preliminary plans will be reflected in the analysis, the amendment allows consideration of these two revised preliminary plans prior to approval of the cumulative TIA with the understanding that the TIA recommendations may require a further revision. This section of the subdivision is within the Lakeside at Blackhawk W.C.I.D. No. 2A with water service provided wholesale by Manville Water Supply Corporation (W.S.C) and retail service by City of Pflugerville. Wastewater service will be provided by the City of Pflugerville.
As agreed through the development agreement, the developer is required to allocate 100 acres of land for parks, open areas and a school site throughout the entire Lakeside development. While the 5.23-acre parkland tract has been removed from this preliminary plan, the additional 20 acres provided with the sixth amendment allows the park area to be replaced with the proposed single-family homes. All open space within the Park at Blackhawk IV preliminary plan will be owned and maintained by the HOA.
Staff Recommendation
Through the implementation of the Comprehensive Development Agreement, the preliminary plan meets all state and local requirements. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan.
