Summary
Commons at Rowe Lane is a residential subdivision located along the north side of Rowe Lane, generally east of FM 685. Phase VIII is located in the northern portion of the subdivision, adjacent to the Steeds Crossing and Rolling Hills subdivisions. The property is not currently zoned, but is regulated through the Comprehensive Development and Consent Agreement for Lakeside WCID No. 3. The final plat consists of 93 total lots with 92 single-family residential lots, 1 drainage easement/public utility easement lot, and six public streets. The drainage easement lot will be owned and maintained by Lakeside WCID No. 3. Windmill Ranch Ave. has been extended northward and provides north/south access to the subdivision, with a stub provided to the north for a future extension. The transportation network is consistent with what was approved with the preliminary plan and development agreement. Per the development agreement, a minimum ratio of 10% of parkland to developed land is required to be dedicated per each final plat unless excessive parkland is provided in prior plats. Per the agreement, creditable parkland includes neighborhood parks, open areas, school sites, floodplain, and wet detention areas. No parkland is included within this phase of the development, and total parkland dedication to date within the subdivision is approximately 42 acres.
